What God says about
Womanhood
which everyone should know
This topic may be one of the most hotly debated issues for more than a century! Women do need liberating – not from God’s designed differences, but from the chains of deception forged by God-mockers.
The greatest freedom and flourishing for women will always be found in Christianity. Cultural trends and experiments come and go – but the Word of the Lord endures forever.

The Real Women’s Liberation
17 May 2025
Dave Pellowe explains the worldview being used by speakers during the conference to understand and teach what everyone needs to know about womanhood, the deception and damage of humanism and communism, and the Christ-like love for women which motivates every word spoken and idea articulated.
A Virtuous Wife (Proverbs 31)
17 May 2025
Rev Mark Powell teaches the Bible not only gives women the dignity of being created in God’s Image, and therefore of being man’s equal, but it goes even a step further and it says that if you want to see wisdom in all its glory in the Old Testament then look at a Godly wife and mother…
Biblical Femininity
17 May 2025
ACL Tasmania’s Sarah Heys unpacks authentic femininity, highlighting what used to be obvious: women are not the same as men. Equality to an extreme erases the good differences between men and women. Women are bombarded with false choices they don’t have to make, because women being feminine is marvellous, and exactly how they are wonderfully designed.
Toxic Feminism
17 May 2025
Millicent Sedra claims feminism is the most anti-women of movements because it teaches women they have no value unless they’re a girl boss, leave their children, act like a man.
“When you actually understand what feminism is and the ideologies behind the movement, you cannot be a Christian feminist.”
Submission and Headship
17 May 2025
Ps Martin Sedra wants to tell every woman that God did not make a mistake when He made men strong and courageous. This doesn’t mean men should be domineering or abuse women, but protect, provide for and lead their family. Headship and submission isn’t about value, but function. The passivity of Ahab has no place in a functional family or church.
The Honour of Motherhood
17 May 2025
Cindy McGarvie lays out the unique, God-given design of women; how cultural shifts have led to the devaluing of women and motherhood; and offers a hopeful vision for how we can begin to reverse these trends, even in the Church, and restore honour to the maternal calling.
Raising Children
17 May 2025
Dave Pellowe and his mother, Sylvia Pellowe, examine the current neuroscience around emotional development for infants and toddlers and its confirmation of Biblical wisdom for raising children. Sylvia, with 50 years of mothering and grandmothering experience, explains strategies she would implement today with the benefit of hindsight.
Dating, Weddings and Marriage
17 May 2025
Ps Nico Smit highlights the enormously different emphasis Western culture puts on dating, while God spends so much energy emphasising the importance of the holy covenant of marriage. Scripture uses marriage to illustrate the Church’s relationship with Christ and vice versa, a very different picture than what the world says about marriage.
Hyper-Sexualisation
17 May 2025
Ps Paul “PJ” Bedwell reveals that porn consumption from age 13 onwards by males is at about 97% and about 78% of females. Young people are being educated on sex by violent, degrading pornography – and culture calls it “liberation”. The harms of toxic culture can be neutralised by teaching the Truth of Scripture about behaviours of modesty, discretion and purity.
Abortion and Fertility
17 May 2025
Millicent Sedra argues that the sanctity of human life and whether or not lives are valuable inside of the womb is a deeply theological matter long before it’s political. A century of feminist, older women have been telling younger women that motherhood is slavery, but Scripture teaches children are a blessing, like arrows in the hands of a warrior.
