I have female blogger friends who spend a great deal of time and energy railing against this sort of mentality. I\u2019m too tired to rail on this subject matter much. Too many other important issues to rail against. Some of which I may actually be able to impact.<\/p>\n

But this week I came across the best argument ever for allowing women to preach.<\/p>\n

Her name is Sarah Thebarge.<\/p>\n

She has a book coming out next spring with Jericho Books. Sarah is an amazing writer and courageous spirit and all things bright and beautiful. A two-time breast cancer survivor.<\/p>\n

She preached this past Sunday at Portland\u2019s Imago Dei and you simply must make time to listen to Sarah. Seriously. Just click this link and listen<\/a>. Sarah preached a sermon in the way only a woman could have.<\/p>\n

And after you listen to her amazing sermon 0n The God Who Sees, click on Jericho Books<\/a> link for more information about her forthcoming book The Invisible Girls.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Do I know the most awesome people or what?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
