I had no answer, except, "because that's what I feel like the church tells me is my audience." It made me sad.

People often...A brave and beautiful post, Shayne. <br /><br />People often respond to my book by saying, "It's so good to have a strong woman's voice out there." Which is great, and genuinely encouraging. But the fact that it's worth noting reveals the fact that we still have a long way to go, especially in evangelical circles. <br /><br />You are not alone!

It is, as you said, sad an...Amen and amen and amen. It is, as you said, sad and inexcusable. Christianity 21 held here in Minneapolis last fall featured 21 women speakers--and it was not a women's event. There are strong, smart, challenging women out here doing incredible, meaningful, world-changing work. It's not that we need a platform to do that work, it's that the world--the church world in particular--needs our point of view in order to have a full picture of the human experience.<br /><br />Caryn spoke at a class at Bethel last month and one of the girls in the class, a pastor's daughter about to graduate, said that she wondered why she had never once heard a mother speak in church about what she'd learned about her life and faith through mothering. One of the most profoundly spiritual experiences a human being can have goes unrecognized as a valid source of insight. And of course women have all kinds of insights and ideas about all kinds of other issues. The TED talks manage to find smart women, you'd think Christian conference promoters could too.<br /><br />On the issue of these men being married to women who no doubt share their passion and intelligence I have this to add: It's those women who are back home tending to the children of those men who make it possible for them to do what they do. They are where they are because they have women in their lives willing to set aside their own goals so their husbands can write and travel and spend three days at a conference. If I had a wife, there's no telling what I could accomplish!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908305521772090524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27944947.post-76061052375116743192010-05-07T17:59:55.691-07:002010-05-07T17:59:55.691-07:00I have just stumbled across this blog.

I looked at it and thought it was a metaphor for my life; doing laps around the same old mountain. I didn't expect much of anything - and, like you, I experienced an unexpected and surprising release and a Word from God when I made it to the center.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your journey.Michelle Van Loonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069884177270291492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27944947.post-55247872918568761032010-02-28T19:49:34.144-08:002010-02-28T19:49:34.144-08:00It's interesting Shayne.

She couldn't understand why Betty (who died at 89 this week) couldn't be buried, why she had to be turned to ashes. I explained to her that from dust we were made, dust we shall return. She wanted to know HOW people were cremated and I wouldn't tell her, she's only 6. But I told her even people who are buried eventually turn to dust, like ashes.<br />This was her first very close loved one she's lost. She manages death very well. And she managed this very well, grieving, yet understanding.<br /><br />This is a very true and timely post. And I am thinking about Nancy and so many who go through so much with these earthly bodies.stuntjumpon4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04291871740282308794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27944947.post-80413697858884234262010-02-24T17:51:22.034-08:002010-02-24T17:51:22.034-08:00Wow.

When the Holy Spirit guides you, there is so much joy, but if you are pig-headed and want to take charge, it really makes you feel horrible! (at least it did that to me!) I grieved terribly, knowing that I had disobeyed the Lord, and not done what I was supposed to do. I won't do that again soon!<br /><br />God bless you,<br />~Cynde<br />http://cyndesdaybook.blogspot.com/ ~and~ http://cyndes-got-the-write-stuff.blogspot.com/Cynde L.
