New Miss America Celebrates Traditional Values—Pledges God Can Heal a ‘Divided’ and ‘Broken’ World

In a time when America seems more divided than ever, a powerful new voice has emerged from an unexpected place.

This inspirational message is coming from America’s newly crowned Miss America 2025, Abbie Stockard who represented Alabama in the competition.

This from thepatriotjournal.com.

“I am very driven by my faith,” she declared. Indeed, she believes that her entire Miss America journey was guided by scripture and prayer.

The source of Stockard’s confidence? A deep Christian faith that she refuses to hide.

Stockard shared:

I believe we were all created on purpose, for purpose.

I know that I was anointed to this position for a purpose, and that’s why I’m not going to take it for granted.

During competition week, she focused on two powerful words: “peace and confidence.”

She believes that she won not from rehearsed routines or careful coaching, but rather from her relationship with God.

Stockard explained:

Peace that surpasses all understanding, knowing that the Lord is taking care of my needs for me.

He has a plan for my life, and His plan is good. Reminding myself that He is for me, and He is not against me.

While her faith forms her foundation, Stockard’s achievements speak to the power of hard work and personal responsibility. Through three years of competition, she has earned over $89,000 in scholarship money. This has allowed her to pursue her nursing degree at Auburn University debt-free.

She explained:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call Miss America a beauty pageant.

Through my three years of competing, I have acquired over $89,000 in tuition scholarships… It allows me to graduate completely debt-free.

Stockard’s commitment to service extends beyond the stage. Indeed, she has raised more than $200,000 for cystic fibrosis research in Alabama, earning recognition as a “Hero of Hope” by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Unlike the empty virtue signaling we often see from public figures, Stockard demonstrates practical leadership through personal example. Her approach to health and wellness reflects traditional values of discipline and balance.

Discussing her platform as an advocate for the American Heart Association’s Go RED for Women initiative, she said:

It’s time that the world takes hold of our health so we can combat these statistics.

The new Miss America promotes practical, achievable health goals.

She explained:

It isn’t just physical activity.

It’s making sure that you’re managing your stress appropriately [and] getting an adequate amount of sleep.

That all goes into what it looks like to live a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.

As Stockard begins her year of service as Miss America 2025, her message offers hope for those concerned about America’s future. Rather than adding to the political noise, she’s focusing on timeless principles.

She shared:

I want to make every single person feel seen, valued and appreciated, because that is who the Lord is. That’s what He would want me to do.

In an era when many young leaders embrace division, Stockard’s faith-based approach to unity and service provides a refreshing alternative. Her crowning may represent more than just a pageant victory—it could signal America’s readiness to return to the traditional values that once united us.

As she travels the country this year, Stockard carries a simple but powerful message:

Healing our nation’s divisions might not require

political solutions, but rather a return to the faith-

based principles that shaped America from its founding.

Instead, the 22-year-old Alabama nursing student who was just crowned Miss America is charting a different course. In fact, she is doing something that might make progressive heads spin:

[S]he is refusing to follow cultural trends

or cave to social pressure.

When Abbie Stockard took the crown in Orlando this January, she brought something rarely seen on national stages anymore:

[U]napologetic traditional values.

Stockard told Fox News in an exclusive interview:

I think our world is broken.

I think it is polarized and divided, and I want to be a light.

Final thoughts: What a breath of fresh air! May this be the Abbey Stockard Effect. Similar to the Trump Effect, but its own force for good in the world.

Imagine what would have become of this year’s Miss America pageant if our beloved country were still in the throes of wokeism. I believe this is another sign our once and future great nation is truly healing.

Thank you, God for President Trump, and now for Abbey Stockard.

God speed Abbey.
