DALLAS — More than 6,700 conservative Christian women gathered in Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, to rally around their shared faith and conservative values during the second annual “Share the Arrows” women’s conference. Founded by commentator Allie Beth Stuckey, the event provided a space for women to engage in what they describe as a cultural and spiritual battle, invigorated in part by the recent assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.
“Welcome to the fight,” Stuckey declared to the crowd, emphasizing the mission to defend truth, Christianity, family, and the future of the nation. While her influence has long been felt online—through podcasts, social media, and community activism—this weekend brought thousands of women together in person at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen. Notable attendees included Jinger Duggar Vuolo, known from the reality show “19 Kids and Counting,” and homeschooling influencer Abbie Halberstadt.
The conference drew an especially motivated crowd following Kirk’s death, with more than 2,000 tickets purchased in the weeks after. Attendees described Kirk as a martyr for conservative ideals, particularly regarding Scripture, family structure, abortion, and traditional gender roles. Many participants viewed their presence at the conference as a way to continue Kirk’s fight and to actively prepare for the cultural challenges they see confronting American society.
“There’s a new ache in all of our hearts since Charlie passed,” said Rachel Jonson, a 28-year-old mother from Corinth, Texas. “We’re excited to keep this fire burning. This is a great way to rekindle that in all of us.” Mothers attending often brought children, seeing the event as an opportunity to equip the next generation to navigate cultural pressures while maintaining Christian values. Anna Tumulty, 40, traveled with her daughter to help prepare her for life in a society that often challenges faith-based convictions.
Carolina Graver, 29, flew from Palmer, Alaska, inspired by Stuckey’s podcast “Relatable” to engage in local civic service. She attended the conference alone but described the gathering as an extension of her faith community, a network of like-minded believers sharing convictions and encouragement.
The “Share the Arrows” conference was designed to foster this sense of unity and purpose. Stuckey, author of “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion,” explained that the concept of “sharing the arrows” comes from the idea that when a conservative believer faces criticism or attack, fellow Christians should rally around them. The theme resonated strongly in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, highlighting the perceived vulnerability of conservative viewpoints in contemporary society.
Throughout the day, speakers emphasized spiritual engagement as the primary battlefield. “This is not fought on a physical battlefield or even only in the public square,” Stuckey told attendees. “It’s a spiritual battle waged in our homes, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.” The conference included practical guidance for attendees to influence their communities, from school boards to local elections, framed within a biblical perspective.
The event featured talks from nine speakers, including Alisa Childers and Hillary Morgan Ferrer, interspersed with worship sessions led by Christian artists such as Francesca Battistelli. Topics covered ranged from defending conservative Christian beliefs against cultural shifts regarding gender and sexuality, to parenting strategies, managing social media exposure for children, and maintaining family health. While the content often carried serious undertones about defending biblical truths, lighter moments brought humor and relatability, with discussions about chicken coops, sourdough starters, and everyday household challenges.
The conference also reinforced a particular cultural and aesthetic identity. Most speakers and attendees were white women in their 30s to 50s, with a casual yet polished style—jeans or long skirts paired with simple tops. Sponsors aligned with conservative, family-oriented values, offering products ranging from natural cosmetics to sustainable fashion and pro-life baby essentials, reflecting the priorities and lifestyle preferences of the participants.
Speakers highlighted the contrast between their approach and other Christian women’s conferences, noting a firm focus on conservative theology and politics. Stuckey emphasized that while some gatherings dabble in social and racial justice, “Share the Arrows” maintains “zero tolerance” for these discussions, keeping the focus on defending traditional values and biblical principles.
The overarching message of the day was one of perseverance, spiritual activism, and unity among conservative Christian women. In her speech, Childers likened Stuckey to a “female Charlie Kirk,” rallying thousands to continue Kirk’s mission. Stuckey, however, described her role as complementary rather than identical to Kirk’s, expressing honor at carrying forward a mantle of faith-based advocacy.
In the wake of Kirk’s passing, the conference provided both mourning and motivation. Attendees left inspired to continue advocating for conservative principles in their communities, equipping themselves to face cultural opposition, and fostering a network of support that extends beyond the walls of the arena.
The “Share the Arrows” conference, now in its second year, signals both the growing engagement of Christian women in conservative activism and the persistent influence of faith-driven cultural leaders in shaping public discourse. By blending spiritual purpose, political awareness, and community connection, the event exemplifies a new model of grassroots mobilization within the American religious and political landscape.
