Liberal women and feminists like to claim that the Proverbs 31 woman was a self-sufficient sharp business woman who grew her business AND who incidentally had kids and a husband. They say that the Proverbs 31 woman busted that glass ceiling, was an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and who did it all- had a fulfilling career while managing her house.

Is that what's really going on here? The Proverbs 31 woman as a model of professional career woman? Let's take a closer read on this woman.

While many parachurch ministries do well for the name of Christ, many of them do not. Sadly, many of these which are founded by women are simply steam valves for rebellious women to usurp, feed their flesh, and introduce false doctrine. I review one of them called The Transforming Center. Final part of a 3-part series on parachurch organizations.

Here is GotQuestions with more information on Spiritual formation a la Richard Foster's Renovare.

And more info on spiritual formation itself: What is the spiritual formation movement?

The issue with Parachurch organizations – especially ones Founded by women part 2: Yada Factor

It's easy to think that a parachurch ministry is doing a good thing when they tell you they will help you become closer to God through their teachings and methods, but many of them are focused on the woman rather than God. Watch out for parachurch ministries founded and led by women that are emotionally driven and focusing on our hurts, and end up just using God as a vehicle for navel gazing.
