The very idea of womanhood is being attacked on all fronts. As God’s daughters, we are presented with a choice. We can stand on the sidelines of history, or we can rise up, reclaim our divine identity, and get in the fight. Will you join me?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let us pray. So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God, created he him male and
female created He them Genesis one twenty seven. Dear Lord,
you created man and woman distinct from all your other creations.
(00:21):
You created them in your image to have intimate fellowship
with you. You gave them power and dominion over your creation.
They were innocent of all sin, and their spirits were pure.
Through one act of disobedience, that all changed because of Adam.
(00:42):
We now had a sinful nature and were removed from
God's presence. But God sent his son Jesus to pay
the price for Adam's sin and redeemed us from the fall.
Through the blood of Jesus, we are being restored to
our original dignity and purpose. His righteousness covers our sin,
(01:06):
and we stand before the Father. Thank you, Lord for
loving us to life again. Amen. Thank you for listening
to today's daily prayer. For more inspiration and an incredible
message from our feature pastor, stay tuned to pray dot
COM's Sunday service.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, I am so honored to be here. I feel
like it is very timely that we are addressing this subject,
and I want to introduce you to my family. I
am the mother of four men and grandmother soon to
be to nine. There is my husband John Bevie, married
for forty two years, my second son Austin, Jessica, their
(01:56):
beautiful daughter Scarlett.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
She's expecting a little boy any moment.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Then we have Madeleine and Alec who is here, Addison
and Juliana, who is going to be doing this ourdo demonstration.
Therefore children, my youngest son Arden and his beautiful wife Christian.
She's holding something there that I believe. We have a
picture of Azariah there. He is finally an Italian looking grandchild.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
He was conceived in Venice, proving that what you behold
is what you become. I do believe that this is
the motivation for why I do what I do.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Family is the most important thing to me. I believe
that family is the answer to so many of the
problems in the world right now. And I do believe
that female is something worth fighting for.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Gk Chester's and warrened.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in
nothing thing, they believe in anything. In recent years, the
concept of male and female has been under assault.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
There's been confusion around.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It, and I love that God is actually really clear
that he created male and female to carry his image.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I wore a T shirt not long ago. I think
they're going to put up.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A picture of it that is the future is male
and female. And I was out in a coffee shop
and I had men make eye contact with me, like
thank you, thank you for including us in the future.
I had some women coming up to me and they're like,
where do I get the T shirt? So I decided
to do a little selfie in my car with sunglasses
(03:48):
because I do believe that makeup is optional sometime, and I.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Posted it and I just said.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The future is male and female, because without male and female.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
There is no future.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Nine hundred and twenty two comments later, people were actually
so upset by this post. I heard things like, you
are co signing with patriarchy.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
This sounds like all lives matter, which they do it.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Also, they said, this sounds like your transphobe LGTBQ and TI,
you're a bigot, You're a demon of hate. I couldn't
believe how much contention was coming around this simple phrase.
The five years ago, nobody would have a problem with
(04:44):
me saying the future.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Is male and female. And I have learned that anytime.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
There is this much pushback on something, there is something
more in the works. So I went home and I
just typed into Google what is the origin of the
quote the future is female?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
And I got the answer.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It was from a nineteen seventy five lesbian separatist group
that believed that lesbians should leave completely separate from heterosexuals
and from males, and they said that the future is
female was part of a presentation of what a well
dressed dyke would wear.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It was brought back into popularity in twenty.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Fifteen by Hillary Clinton, and they interviewed the person that
began this whole trend, and she said, what is your
hope for the quote the future is female? She said,
it is a call to war, an invocation.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And a spell to cast guys.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Twenty five percent of the proceeds from any of the
paraphernalia that says the future is female goes to planned parenthood.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I sat down with my grandson, who.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Is also here right now, Asher, and I said, Asher,
what are some of your thoughts when you hear the
future is female? And he paused for a moment, and
he said, it feels like I'm unnecessary? Is that what
we want for the males to feel unnecessary? Is that
(06:30):
what we want for our sons, for our grandsons, for
our brothers, for our husbands, for our coworkers. See, I
believe that both male and female are necessary, and I
believe from the very beginning of time that women were
actually something that added everything.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That was on the man. God said it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Good for man to be alone, and so he created
woman from the side of a man. And female is
our designation.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Male and female.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We are a power union, not a power struggle. But
what's going on right now in our culture is a
full scale onslaught against those created in the image of God.
And I'm just going to be honest with you. Everybody
is created in the image of God, but not everybody
(07:28):
is a child of God. Revelations twelve seventeen says, then
the dragon became furious with the woman and went off
to make war with the rest of her offspring on
those who keep the commandments of God and hold to
the testimony of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
See.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I believe that right now, whether we realize it or not,
we are wrestling with a dragon. What began with a
serpent and a woman in the garden that said, you
can be your own masters, be your own God, know
a dragon, and everyone who declares that God.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Is their king and Jesus is their lord.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And we have this spiritual warfare going on, and so
we can't just navigate it in the natural. Yelling and
arguing with people on social media is not going to
move this forward, but.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
We do need to all begin to say the same thing.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I had a conversation with a beautiful woman, a woman
that's a rather newer Christian, and we were sitting it
was actually six thirty in the morning, and I'm not
a morning person. We were sitting consuming caffeine, and she
looks at me and she said, what would Jesus say
to my.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Friend if she was sitting right here.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Who believes that she was born in the wrong body.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I was like, this is not a six thirty am conversation.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I like inhaled the coffee and I looked at her
and I said, well, first he would say to your friend,
I love you. Next he would say you're not a mistake.
And third he would say I understand if there was
anybody that's ever been uncomfortable in his body, it would
(09:18):
be Jesus Philippians two five through seven says, have this
mind among yourselves, which is yours, which is yours. In Christ, Jesus,
who though he was in the form of God, did
not count equality with God as a thing to be grasped,
(09:38):
but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant.
Being born in the likeness of men. Jesus put aside
his divine identity and took on our identity.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
He gets us because he became us, and he became
so that we could become like him. And we need
to have.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Conversations that will actually bring people to the realization that
Jesus undersins the struggle of our humanity, the disconnection of
when we look at what is being.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Sexualized in the culture.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Listen, right now women are being sexualized and silenced, sexualized
in presentation and silenced in the church, and silenced and sexualized.
Is not a lot of ground to walk on. We
have to do this better. We need to train our daughters.
(10:41):
We need to have the voice of mothers and fathers
in the house of God. We need to actually understand
that both male and female have things to speak to,
but instead we have used our voice against one another
instead of remembering we're supposed to use our voice on
a serpent and say it is written. So how have
(11:06):
we gotten here? I actually, when I again, when I
did the deep dive to find out about the future
is female, I thought, how in the world have we
gotten here? And I found a very interesting article. It
was written by a woman.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That sister was one of the major leaders.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Lilia Karp had hosted these women, and it was Kate
Mellett who actually gathered with twelve women.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Twelve women, twelve women.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Got together in nineteen sixty nine and the leader said,
why are we here today?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And they answered, to make a revolution?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
What kind of revolution, she replied, a cultural revolution?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
How do we make a cultural.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Revolution, she demanded, By destroying the American family? They answered,
and how do we destroy the family? She came back,
By destroying the American patriarch, they cried exuberantly. And how
do we destroy the American patriarch? She replied, by taking
(12:15):
away his power? And how do we do that? By
destroying monogamy?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And how can we destroy monogamy?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
By promoting promiscuity eroticism, which would be pornography, prostitution, and homosexuality.
It almost appears that this group of twelve women understood
something that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
We have forgotten.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We need strong men, We need men.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Who are patriarchs.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
See our god is the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
That sounds like a patriarchal line to Meculinity in and of.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Itself is not toxic.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But what we have done is we have shamed the
men with toxic labels. We have shut down their gifts
of leadership, and now we are finding a breakdown. See,
they understood to take away the man's power, they needed
to remove the woman because the addition of the woman
(13:24):
is what gives purpose to the man. The addition of
the woman is what multiplies what is on his life.
They pushed the men out into the workplace and there
they infiltrated it with pornography. They made it sound like, hey, hey,
monogamy is a joke. Nobody can be married, nobody can
(13:45):
be committed to one person.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And then they began on the women.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They began to have collective consciousness groups, and they began
to ask the women, don't you believe there is something
more to life? Betty Ford wrote the book The Feminine Mystique.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
All the women were like, yes, yes, I have a house, I.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Have children, but I am not fulfilled. It's interesting to
me at the same time as women's liberation was happening,
that Jesus Revolution was happening. What the women were looking
for was a spiritual awakening, but instead we settled for
what the feminist told us would make us happy.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But I'm here to tell you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That I believe that feminists are some of the most
anti female people you will ever meet, because they tell
the women, if you want to be powerful, you need
to act like a man.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But I don't want to act like a man. I
want to be a powerful woman.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I want to know what it is to be a
godly wife, godly mother, godly grandmother, godly voice to a
culture that is looking for people.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Who will speak truth. And I get that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's whenever I post anything Friday, I post it Hey
title nine, this change of general identity means your daughters
might not be safe in locker rooms, might not be
safe in bathrooms. I had so many people push back
and say this is hate speech. No, it's truth and
(15:24):
it's safety and we need to recover our voice, both
male and female, for the sake of our daughters. One
of my favorite quotes of all time is by a
British poet and philosopher named Matthew Arnold the eighteen hundreds.
(15:46):
He wrote, if ever there comes the time when the
women of the world come together purely and simply for
the benefit of mankind, they will be a force such
as the world has never known. If ever there comes
the time when the women of the world, the American women,
(16:07):
the thinking women, the Christian women, come together for the
benefit of all.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They will be a force such as the world has
never known. It's time.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's time for us to be that force. It's time
for us to find our voice.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's time for us.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I love what Mattia said, to do it with consistent
conscientious kindness. We need to be kind and telling people
a lie is the truth is not kind. Everything in
our culture is getting a generation to.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Doubt what they can see. And when you doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What you can see, people can slip in anything they
want you to believe.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Last year, I was speaking out of conference, and.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Afterwards an older woman came up to me, which is
harder and harder for me to find since I'm in
my mid sixties. She comes up to me and she said,
did you ever know this particular minister I said, I
knew of him. I'm not quite as old as you,
but yeah, I knew of him. And she said, well,
I hosted him years.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Ago and he spoke to by women at luncheon.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And then afterwards we were driving back to the hotel
and my husband I turned around and he was weeping,
and we said.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He said, I see an attack coming to the United
States of America. And he said the enemy is going
to attack the women, and if he can get the women,
he will get the children.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Come on, women, we need to remember.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That we are mothers in this spirit, whether we've ever
given birth, we are made to partner with God for life.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
We were made to speak truth.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So I think it's just time that we re engineer
what twelve women did back in nineteen sixty eight, And
that would be why are we here today at the
QUEU Summit. Well, to begin a cultural and spiritual restoration.
And how does that restoration begins? It begins with loving
(18:22):
and teaching our family how to have conversations in the
safety of our home. And how is family restored through
rebirth and forgiveness?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And how does this begin? It begins with us.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It will start when we honor both male and female.
I'm just going to say this to every man in
this room. We need your voice, we need your leadership,
we need you. We need you, even if everything in
the culture says, oh, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Listen. We do not.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Believe in negating the influence of men to gain influence
for women. We need male and female to begin to
unite their voice with common sense, courtesy, consistency, and wisdom.
And we need to speak truth in the face of lies.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And that is why I'm so honored.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To speak to you today about the fight for female
because I do believe that women are answers in a
culture that is broken.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Amen.

gotten here? And I found a very interesting article. It
was written by a woman.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That sister was one of the major leaders.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Lilia Karp had hosted these women, and it was Kate
Mellett who actually gathered with twelve women.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Twelve women, twelve women.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Got together in nineteen sixty nine and the leader said,
why are we here today?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And they answered, to make a revolution?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
What kind of revolution, she replied, a cultural revolution?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
How do we make a cultural.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Revolution, she demanded, By destroying the American family? They answered,
and how do we destroy the family? She came back,
By destroying the American patriarch, they cried exuberantly. And how
do we destroy the American patriarch? She replied, by taking
(12:15):
away his power? And how do we do that? By
destroying monogamy?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And how can we destroy monogamy?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
By promoting promiscuity eroticism, which would be pornography, prostitution, and homosexuality.
It almost appears that this group of twelve women understood
something that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
We have forgotten.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We need strong men, We need men.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Who are patriarchs.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
See our god is the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
That sounds like a patriarchal line to Meculinity in and of.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Itself is not toxic.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But what we have done is we have shamed the
men with toxic labels. We have shut down their gifts
of leadership, and now we are finding a breakdown. See,
they understood to take away the man's power, they needed
to remove the woman because the addition of the woman
(13:24):
is what gives purpose to the man. The addition of
the woman is what multiplies what is on his life.
They pushed the men out into the workplace and there
they infiltrated it with pornography. They made it sound like, hey, hey,
monogamy is a joke. Nobody can be married, nobody can
(13:45):
be committed to one person.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And then they began on the women.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They began to have collective consciousness groups, and they began
to ask the women, don't you believe there is something
more to life? Betty Ford wrote the book The Feminine Mystique.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
All the women were like, yes, yes, I have a house, I.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Have children, but I am not fulfilled. It's interesting to
me at the same time as women's liberation was happening,
that Jesus Revolution was happening. What the women were looking
for was a spiritual awakening, but instead we settled for
what the feminist told us would make us happy.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But I'm here to tell you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That I believe that feminists are some of the most
anti female people you will ever meet, because they tell
the women, if you want to be powerful, you need
to act like a man.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
But I don't want to act like a man. I
want to be a powerful woman.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I want to know what it is to be a
godly wife, godly mother, godly grandmother, godly voice to a
culture that is looking for people.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Who will speak truth. And I get that.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's whenever I post anything Friday, I post it Hey
title nine, this change of general identity means your daughters
might not be safe in locker rooms, might not be
safe in bathrooms. I had so many people push back
and say this is hate speech. No, it's truth and
(15:24):
it's safety and we need to recover our voice, both
male and female, for the sake of our daughters. One
of my favorite quotes of all time is by a
British poet and philosopher named Matthew Arnold the eighteen hundreds.
(15:46):
He wrote, if ever there comes the time when the
women of the world come together purely and simply for
the benefit of mankind, they will be a force such
as the world has never known. If ever there comes
the time when the women of the world, the American women,
(16:07):
the thinking women, the Christian women, come together for the
benefit of all.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They will be a force such as the world has
never known. It's time.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's time for us to be that force. It's time
for us to find our voice.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It's time for us.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I love what Mattia said, to do it with consistent
conscientious kindness. We need to be kind and telling people
a lie is the truth is not kind. Everything in
our culture is getting a generation to.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Doubt what they can see. And when you doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What you can see, people can slip in anything they
want you to believe.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Last year, I was speaking out of conference, and.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Afterwards an older woman came up to me, which is
harder and harder for me to find since I'm in
my mid sixties. She comes up to me and she said,
did you ever know this particular minister I said, I
knew of him. I'm not quite as old as you,
but yeah, I knew of him. And she said, well,
I hosted him years.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Ago and he spoke to by women at luncheon.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And then afterwards we were driving back to the hotel
and my husband I turned around and he was weeping,
and we said.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He said, I see an attack coming to the United
States of America. And he said the enemy is going
to attack the women, and if he can get the women,
he will get the children.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Come on, women, we need to remember.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That we are mothers in this spirit, whether we've ever
given birth, we are made to partner with God for life.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
We were made to speak truth.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So I think it's just time that we re engineer
what twelve women did back in nineteen sixty eight, And
that would be why are we here today at the
QUEU Summit. Well, to begin a cultural and spiritual restoration.
And how does that restoration begins? It begins with loving
(18:22):
and teaching our family how to have conversations in the
safety of our home. And how is family restored through
rebirth and forgiveness?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And how does this begin? It begins with us.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
It will start when we honor both male and female.
I'm just going to say this to every man in
this room. We need your voice, we need your leadership,
we need you. We need you, even if everything in
the culture says, oh, it's just.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Listen. We do not.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Believe in negating the influence of men to gain influence
for women. We need male and female to begin to
unite their voice with common sense, courtesy, consistency, and wisdom.
And we need to speak truth in the face of lies.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And that is why I'm so honored.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To speak to you today about the fight for female
because I do believe that women are answers in a
culture that is broken.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Amen.
