Much has been said of the spiritual journey….for men.

Our most utilized frameworks, models and roadmaps were made by men, for men, where men are central, set against the backdrop of an apparently male God. As Mary Daly said, “If God is male, then male is God.” As a result, women are typically given two options: play a supporting role in the male journey, or attempt to plug their female self into male spirituality.

But what if there is a distinct spiritual path for women? One informed by women, for women, where women are seen as central figures, and with a God who, biblically, is also represented in the feminine. Bekah Stewart not only believes this path exists but that it’s essential for healing a faith system that remains broken and in need of transformation. Drawing on the gospel story of the Dying Girl and the Bleeding Woman as an archetype for the female journey, Stewart invites women to embrace Jesus’ radical invitation to Wake Up, Stand Up, & Come Out of Hiding.

Drawing from her experience as a Master-Level LifePlan Guide, Spiritual Formation Pastor, and Spiritual Director, Stewart offers a fresh and subversive alternative to the traditional male models as she guides women to listen to their lives, reclaim the fullness of who they are, and locate themselves on the female spiritual journey.

With a tone that balances tenderness and strength, Permission to Matter serves as a trusted guide–one who sees, believes in, and invites you to step into the fullness of who God created you to be.
