I heard someone say empowerment events for women are unnecessary. I disagree when women make up over 50% of the population, yet many of the choices and decisions for what happens to women world wide are made by men. Men who do not understand the needs of women. When women make up 65% of the regular attenders of communities of faith, and are the least represented in leadership or even topics of discussion unless it’s submit. Female leaders in the Bible are often overlooked and women hear about them maybe on Mother’s Day.

It’s needed because 1 in 4 women in our world have been abused or are being abused/exploited. It is needed because one of the leading causes of death for a woman is violence/murder by a partner. It is needed because insecurity is a toxic bedfellow that is impossd on many women. We still have women world wide with little to no basic rights, a husband or father chooses for her.

We can scream at women all day to conform, submit, be perfect-yet God has a different view on a woman’s worth. Most of what society tells women is her value rests in her reproductive organs; very untrue.

If I were an opponent on a team and I wanted to defeat them, I would try to take out their players. We have women lining benches/sidelined, told they are just sidekicks, some simply not in the game. And then we wonder why evil is increasing at a rapid rate. We need all hands on deck. There are things both men and women bring to the table. We were created to work together as dual warriors, two powerful people. Not one powerful person and the other just grabs snacks, cleans, and meets the others physical needs.

So I will continue to stand for the women who have no voice, are being abused at home while their husband smiles at work/church, women who are beyond gifted and regulated to watch others use their God given gift, for women trapped and exploited, for women who feel they have no place, for barren women who don’t fit the societal mold of mother, for single women who find their identity in God alone, for marginalized women, for women of color, for women young and old, for women of faith and those who do not believe, for women everywhere! We were created to live confident, bold, and FREE!

Hope you join us in Columbus, Ohio May 17-18, 2019. You won’t want to miss this empowerment encounter!! Can’t wait to see you there.
