Allie Beth Stuckey is one of the most effective voices in the public square touting genuine Christian orthodoxy, so Charlie was eager to team up with her. In their joint appearance at Freedom Night in America two years ago, the two take audience questions on parenting, college, standing true to their beliefs, and of course, caffeine. They discuss the many ways that modern comforts can become idols as dangerous as any old pagan god, and explain why the true sources of wealth aren't measured in dollars.

One of the most important themes guiding Charlie's life in his final years was protecting Christendom from the encroachment of radical Islam. In this Freedom Night in America event from 2024, Charlie and pastor Andrew Sedra talk about Islam's infiltration of the West and how it has built an alliance with Marxists and the LGBTQ mafia. As Pastor Sedra explains, secularism is impossible: All nations must have a god, and if it is not the God of the Bible, then it will be either the god of Islam or the god of leftism.
