As women, we’re becoming the misogynists we fought against for years. In the past men degraded women but now women are degrading men. We’ve forgotten the Golden Rule. In our fight to be free, we forgot to be biblical.
One of the comments that I frequently hear after a woman has attended a True Woman conference, or read my Girls Gone Wise book, is, “It all clicked for me.”
I left the Ft. Worth conference thinking about something Dannah Gresh said during our panel discussion. She encouraged us to begin teaching our girls at a young age—and not to wait to guide them in forming godly values.
No, it’s not a typo. I’m making up a new word – “Twoughts.” Twoughts are thoughts I could have tweeted, but didn’t. Tweet + Thought = Twought. (It’s my blog, I can make up words if I want!) Okay, by now you know that I’m way too tired from the weekend, and getting somewhat giddy [...]

I’ve taught this particular course for many years, at Southern and at other seminaries. Those of you who know me well know that [...]
There were a series of TV commercials in the 1970s that featured a young woman who cheerfully chirped that she “told two friends about Faberge Organic Shampoo, who told two friends, who told two friends, and so on, and so on…” while her image multiplied relentlessly on the screen. The commercial was annoying, but the [...]
Several years ago, I was lounging around with Nancy Leigh DeMoss and a couple of her friends, sipping hot mugs of tea in her living room. Though the atmosphere was casual, the conversation was anything but. We talked about the history of the women’s movement and feminism… about philosophy, theology and doctrine. We cried about [...]
WHAT NOW? The conference is full to capacity, so registration for the October True Woman ’08 pre-conference and conference has been closed. The conference has sold out much earlier than expected. More than 6,000 women are registered and the facility cannot accomodate more. God is definitely at work! Although we can’t squeeze any more women [...]
