Guest Post at Sheology: "Courageous Daughters”
Written by Terra Mattson
We cannot give away what we have not received.
Raising girls, both young and older, teaches us more about ourselves than we perhaps ever imagined. As I read a post from Bo Stern regarding the way women are often treated, I wanted to raise my hands and shout, “YES, BO. YES!”
I started the Courageous Girls movement in response to a generation of pain and systemic patterns I had wearied of hearing about and treating in my counseling office. It took me nearly thirty years to find my own voice.
Add two daughters, a robust counseling practice, speaking, writing, and myriad other hats worn, I have learned that God has a plan for all His daughters and it often looks different than the confusing messages we hear inside, as well as outside of church walls. I began with Bo’s Monday Manifesto for women, with her permission, and took it a step further.
