Lauren’s Bi-Weekly News 3 – 18 March 2019
Hello Friend,
Thank you for being a visitor to my little space in the world.
We made it through February and I am glad to kiss and wave the heat of Summer away.
A quick update – I am live on Smile 90.4Fm tomorrow night (4 March) at 9pm with Andre and Benito on the Honest Truth show. We going to be having a conversation in the spirit of International Women’s day, come and tune on in! In the evening of March the 7th, I am a guest panelist at the Pop Up American Corner in Cape Town to celebrate international women’s day on March 8. They will be airing Ted talks that highlight the significance of Women in the quest for global human rights, my talk will be aired and I will be answering questions and further discussing the global quest for women’s rights. Really excited to be considering a few new projects and journeys that have come my way recently, it’s under wraps for now, but all will be revealed in time. I am taking a bit of time off in March for an operation and recuperation. Much needed before we begin the preparation for a Passover camp in April. I just finished in studio recordings for March and Aprils installation of “Women in the Bible,” on Radio Pulpit every Tuesday at 13:15 starting this week on 729AM. God really led me to minister deeply in to the power of women’s voices through the scriptures, can’t wait to share these with you!
So until then, grab a copy of my latest book on the website… and thank you for being here…

What I'm About
Speaking Out
I’m outspoken and passionate about the burdens Yeshua has woven in my heart, and I want to always use my voice for hope, truth and change in this generation. This calling is to “go to where the silence is and say something.”
Gender Justice
What if we lived in a world where women and men co – ruled and co – reigned, it’s a dream that was reality, right there in the beginning. My eyes have seen many things, and my heart has become connected with the calling for gender equality. I’m an egalitarian, that’s who I am!
Writer
The pen is a weapon, it has the power to overcome, to heal, to wage war and reveal truth. It’s a weapon of warfare, and we have to wield it well. At the cornerstone of my purpose is a calling to write, it burns inside of me.
I’m often thinking about women in history. The ones we know and the ones we don’t know, the ones lost beneath times sand. Last year, I stumbled across a short write – up about a historical film inspired by...
Today is the “International Day of the Girl Child!” And I was left thinking so much about the moment I “met” the fearless girl on Wall Street in New York. It was such a dream of mine to see...
I’m not sure how to feel. When someone shares their stories with you and it catches you off guard. The stories of sexual harassment and abuse within their workplace. Their workplace, a place people go to heal and be...
