Christian commentator Allie Beth Stuckey shared her insights about the self-love movement many women are drawn to today. She also talked about the lies that stem from it that don’t align with God’s Word.
Thoughts on Self-Love
Allie Beth Stuckey boldly shared in “Takeaways with Kirk Cameron” podcast about her thoughts on self-love, self-care, and self-empowerment. She remarked how the world embraces this idea today and sometimes gets unbiblical.

She then admitted that she had had her own journey in this area.
“Of wanting to be the solution to my problems, wanting to be enough for myself,” she explained. “Trying to prove that I am self-sufficient, that I didn’t need God. That I didn’t need His rules. And I think that’s what a lot of women are doing today when they’re latching on to kind of the self-love movement.”
Christ Is Our Sufficiency
Allie stressed that as a Christian woman, “trying to be enough” is not the goal. Instead, Christ should be the ultimate goal. And one’s worth should be anchored in Christ alone.
“We’re not enough… because Christ is our sufficiency,” she explained. “If we were enough for our salvation, sanctification, strength, we would not need Christ. But we needed Him so much that He actually died on the cross. A brutal death that He did not deserve because we’re insufficient.”
“Our insufficiency in all things, salvation and otherwise, comes from Christ,” Allie remarked. “And trying to find our sufficiency in ourselves or elsewhere is just going to exhaust us.”
A woman should see herself the way God does!
