The particular teaching I would like to draw attention to and correct from Scripture involves the Week Two and Week Three chapter descriptions from the 8 week study on Biblical Womanhood from True Woman 101. The study is subtitled Divine Design: an 8-week study on biblical womanhood.
I didn't take time in the above article to discuss the problems with the way this wrong theological emphasis plays out practically. There are big issues practically around whether woman was created to image the Church or whether wives are to reflect the Church's submission to Christ in marriage. These are 2 very different things. Possible practical problems include a woman believing submission to men in general is her created purpose. Another that a man is the head over women in general by creation, not his wife in particular as an example of Christ and the Church. We set up women for failure when we de-emphasize the ways they were created to image God. That's their essence. That's their North Star. Everything gets out of order for a woman when we emphasize metaphor over essence.
Right, WtH. Genesis 2 zooms in on the woman's creation as image bearer in particular, and I believe it's important there to emphasize how ezer is much more an OT description of God than woman, which plays perfectly into woman created in the image of God.
One of my big concerns with the book (and elsewhere in their website articles) is their view of how men and women reflect the image of God. They lay out a parallel between men/women and God the Father/God the Son and say that just as there is a authority/submission structure in the Godhead so also there is an essential authority/submission structure in the creation of man/woman. I don't deny that husbands are to be spiritual leaders and that wives are to submit to their husbands. But it's something different to say being made in the image of God means that we reflect the authority/submission of the Godhead.
Can you unpack that a little? As far as I can see, even if you take a cultural view of headcoverings, Paul is drawing on those two very things. He roots his teaching in the created purpose of each gender, illustrated through the order of creation (head/helper), and highlights a differentiation between the way man is the image of God and implicitly the way the woman is the image of God. Don't these truths contribute to the issue of essence of ceation and image bearing intent?
The story of the woman Rahab, from the book of Joshua, is chosen as the unlikely Queen of Domesticity. She is the harlot whom God providentially guided the spies to, in order to hide them from the men of Jericho. The knowledge and fear of the Israelites and their powerful God had preceded them in order to give Rahab the decisiveness to take steps of faith by hiding them from their pursuers. In return she asked for kindness to be shown to her and her family when the people of Israel returned to conquer the city of Jericho. This God of Israel also had a reputation of kindness. Unlike her family which had probably long ago rejected her and her life style. The men agreed to spare her and her families life if they would all be under her roof and hang a scarlet cord from her window, a symbol of redemption. After her people had been destroyed Rahab lives amongst the people of Israel and is even mentioned in the New Testament as being in the lineage of Jesus himself!
When a woman is gripped by the perspective that heaven is our home, she will sacrificially care for her own family and the family of God. She will do all she can to put them under the protective, cleansing blood of Jesus. Then she will make home a place where family loves to gather, where troubled hearts find safety. She will make home a place that reflects her heavenly home.
In True Woman 201: Interior Design, the eagerly awaited companion to True Woman 101: Divine Design, you will spend ten weeks studying ten important elements of redeemed womanhood found in the book of Titus.
God created man with a unique responsibility to lead, provide, and protect. This does not mean that man gets to be king of the castle, or to assume a more favorable position than woman. But it does mean that leadership, provision, protection, and responsible initiative are central and indispensable to what God created man to be.

There was once a woman. She lived in a house next to the woods. She loved her dogs. She loved to read and listen to music and make things in the quiet of her office. She loved to sit under trees with low hanging branches. She loved laying in the grass and exploring the woods. She loved the feel of the breeze on her face and in her hair. She loved the sound of peepers at night outside her window as she lay in bed.
And she was found.

The Woman King, a new movie starring Viola Davis as a fictionalized leader of the Agojie, tells the story of this all-woman fighting force. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the film takes place as conflict engulfs the region and the specter of European colonization looms ominously. It represents the first time that the American film industry has dramatized this compelling story.
Maybe you've heard the call but weren't sure how to maximize the opportunities. Maybe society's definition of "true womanhood" has clouded your view of who you are in Christ. Or maybe you've just been waiting for a little encouragement and inspiration. In any case, Susan Hunt says, "Start now." And let this book be your encourager and companion.
In other words, the ultimate meaning of true womanhood is this: it is a distinctive calling of God to display the glory of his Son in ways that would not be displayed if there were no womanhood. If there were only generic persons and not male and female, the glory of Christ would be diminished in the world. When God described the glorious work of his Son as the sacrifice of a husband for his bride, he was telling us why he made us male and female. He made us this way so that our maleness and femaleness would display more fully the glory of his Son in relation to his blood-bought bride.
Married womanhood has its unique potential for magnifying Christ that single womanhood does not have. Single womanhood has its unique potential for magnifying Christ which married womanhood does not have.
In my teens I always knew I would be an amazing and beautiful woman when in my sixties. I just knew and saw myself at that age and sensed how that would feel. This feeling stayed with me always, but boy oh boy did I take detours. Not that I am sixty now, but what has unfolded since my teens is quite remarkable.
Overall, gone are the apprehensions and holding back. I live life with an inner strength and not a put-on confidence. I know now with all of me that I will be living exactly as that wise beauty-full woman I saw myself to be in my sixties, which actually was always present deep inside waiting to be reconnected to and is now forever unfolding and forever deepening.
Woman is a wonderful creature that can be anything and can do anything. With all of those possibilities though, there is only one thing that really matters for each woman. And it is this: her only true and necessary task in this life is to fill herself with energy. Filling with energy is literally the only thing every woman should be preoccupied with. All of the other things will happen much easier and with less amount of effort if we are filled with energy. I will not stop talking and writing about that.
Man is powerful in decision making, it is true. The more he does it, the more powerful he becomes. Because the way his brain works is that he goes back to the past and looks at what happened last time, he looks at the past. The logic in him tells him what to do this time to avoid that, so past experience is very important for him. So in a way, man is more complicated here. This is also why he is very good about being in the present, he is always ready to think and to analyze what happens now, he is ready to move and to take action. He is always ready to fight and to win. This is when he feels accomplished. That is where his power is.
