BLAZETV HOST, NATIONAL MEDIA VOICE STEVE DEACE TO APPEAR
AT 2025 FAMILY LEADERSHIP SUMMIT IN DES MOINES

URBANDALE, Iowa – BlazeTV host, best-selling author, and faith-driven cultural commentator Steve Deace will be a featured guest at the 2025 FAMiLY Leadership Summit, hosted by The FAMiLY LEADER, on Friday, July 11 in Des Moines.

A nationally recognized conservative media personality with deep Iowa roots, Deace has long been known for his bold commentary at the intersection of faith, politics, and culture. His daily show on Blaze Media, The Steve Deace Show, reaches millions across the country with a message grounded in biblical worldview thinking – a message that aligns powerfully with the mission of The FAMiLY LEADER.

“Steve has been an unapologetic voice for truth and spiritual clarity in a time of cultural confusion,” said Bob Vander Plaats, President and CEO of The FAMiLY LEADER. “We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Summit, where his voice continues to inspire courageous, Christ-centered leadership.”

Deace rose to prominence as a talk radio host in WHO Radio before gaining a national audience on Salem Radio Network and later CRTV and BlazeTV. He is the author of 12 books, including the bestsellers Faucian Bargain, Rise of the Fourth Reich, and A Nefarious Plot, which was adapted into the 2023 feature film Nefarious, for which Deace served as executive producer.

The FAMiLY Leadership Summit is widely recognized as one of the nation’s most influential gatherings of Christian thought leaders and public officials. With previous speakers including U.S. senators, governors, presidential candidates, pastors, and pro-family advocates, the summit is committed to equipping attendees to apply their vertical relationship with God to horizontal engagement in culture and government.

This year’s confirmed speakers include Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa, and other influential leaders. Deace’s inclusion brings additional national attention to an event rooted in Iowa’s spiritual and civic identity.

“The FAMiLY LEADER isn’t just about changing policy, it’s about transforming culture by restoring biblical authority in our homes, churches, and public institutions,” Deace said. “I’m honored to be part of that mission again.”

The 2025 FAMiLY Leadership Summit will be held at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center in downtown Des Moines. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a signature partner for the event. Tickets, registration, and media credentials are available now at www.thefamilyleader.com/summit.
