What is a Woman, and what is her purpose? Some people don’t even know the answer to that question anymore. In a culture that degrades the value of being female, do girls even look forward to womanhood? With all they’ve seen online, maybe not, and I don’t blame them. The media promotes a false image of women that doesn’t ring true for most of us.

If you are anything like me, you just want to be a better friend, wife, mother, sister, daughter — Or you are a single woman who wants to use your voice to bring positive change in your home, family, and nation—and help the people that matter to you most.

Hi, my name is Jennifer Strickland. I am an author, speaker, and the founder of a ministry called U R More, and I make some really good spaghetti! I’m madly in love with my husband (who I call the Cowboy) and together we have 3 amazing kids. I’ve written books like Beautiful Lies, Girl Perfect, and More Beautiful Than You Know, to teach women their identity and worth, despite what the magazines say. I also spent 15 years working around the world as a professional model, and trust me, I learned a lot about women! 

So What is a Woman? That’s a good question, and I believe the answers are found in conversations that shape us — which is why I am the host of the I Am a Woman Podcast, where we are going to challenge each other to be a positive voice in a world that really needs us right now.

And, I will be digging into my favorite place to read, the Bible, which is like an endless treasure chest—And when we pull out the name “Woman,” Whoa. Man. There’s a lot in there!

And if you know me at all, you know I’m not going to shy away from the tough topics—like sex, gender, and the laws that hurt and help us—because we will expose the harmful lies our culture promotes about womanhood and remember who we are created to be. It’s going to be awesome, so be sure to come along for the ride!
