Sue Monk Kidd’s Poor Husband
The Myth of “Equality” In a Feminist Home
(Part One)

This is my gift to God in praise of His name on this Resurrection Sunday and in thanksgiving for Jesus, who is ever interceding for His own. It is because of His death and resurrection that we can have direct access to the true God and protection from the counterfeit spirits, such as the mighty, seductive spirit of the goddess at work in and out of the church in this postmodern American era. The article was written with the ambition to prove the spirit of the “Mother-god” is in fact none other than Satan.  Satan can take on both the masculine and the feminine. ¹

As Dr. Peter Jones says, "God is not male, but He chooses to reveal Himself in male symbolism to distinguish Himself from the world as its progenitor and creator."² The holy God of the Bible does not answer to “mother”. In Jeremiah we are warned that anyone praying to the “Queen of Heaven” spites God.³ Satan’s main goal is to mock God, mock His Word, and mock His people. Therefore, it is part of Satan’s (“his” or ”her”) paradigm to use Scripture verses in mockery of the One who has crushed him eternally—Jesus. Scripture verses are used to support the paganism taught by feminist theologians such as Sue Monk Kidd, a self-proclaimed panentheist, as well as the oxymoron of “Christian” feminism proselytizing from organizations within “ecumenical” Christianity (such as CBE www.cbeinternational.org ).

When women like Sue Monk Kidd start their feminist “journey” there is no such thing as equality in the home (or out under the moon dancing in a circle of trees, for that matter⁴). They re-interpret Scripture verses to teach, for instance: the woman is certainly meant to be a helper to her husband, but they claim the traditionalists have had the meaning of that word “helper” wrong for all of these years (due to “demonic” patriarchal interpretations!⁵), because the men (who are not near as smart as women in general, according to the feminists⁶) need to be led by the women!  Thus, they need a helper.

This spirit has no interest in equality. This spirit is out to dominate. Underneath the charm, the spirit of the goddess is autonomous, haughty, intellectual, selfish, narcissistic, and mean. Many words could be used to describe it, but “meek” is left wanting. Unlike the Holy Spirit, this spirit is not the least bit meek or humble.

These feminist women dominate in the home and hope to dominate our culture, and they are really not the least bit interested in equality after all, despite how this spirit seduces to deceive in that innocuous guise.  Sue Monk Kidd’s journey was either going to be her way, or it was the highway for her husband, Sandy.  He would not want our pity today, because, through his acceptance of his wife’s worship of the Mother-god, he, too, has chosen to embrace the spirit of the goddess and now prays to the Divine Feminine, leaving his Baptist (“sexist, narrow-minded, and bigoted”) church background far behind⁷, all the while claiming to have a marriage built on “equality”, joining his wife in “reinterpreting” the Bible. At first, he tried to convince his wife against the goddess worship, but that was only in the beginning…before “She” seduced him away from the true and living God—it was a choice he won’t forget for all of eternity.⁸

In Part Two of this article I will quote from sources verbatim from feminist theologians and so called “evangelical” feminists to further prove the points I have introduced here. As I am concluding, interestingly, I am listening to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton speak on C-Span, prerecorded live from Brown University. It is more of the same message: more women are needed to lead in our culture.

This is not about equal rights—it is about domination. She lauds everything from contraception to the idea of mandatory DNA testing to show we are all related around the world from every culture and race (insinuating an end to racism). Everyone claps at the idea when she says she has often thought of the advantages of mandatory DNA testing. If I didn’t know better I would think I was listening to a CBE CD or Sue Monk Kidd speaking at the Washington Cathedral.⁹ The spirit at work is the same.

“Challenges exist for women,” says Hillary Rodham Clinton, “in balancing our lives. […] One of the most common questions I am asked when I sit down with my interns is almost inevitable…‘how do you balance your family and your work?’ Let me start by saying there is no one answer….no manual or set of instructions…you have to follow your heart and do what you believe is right for you…for the vast majority of you it will be working and family…we make it about as hard in our country as possible, and that is… raising and nurturing the next generation…the Family and Medical Leave Act needs to be updated…Now opening the door to new kinds of leadership and new kinds of lives is always difficult…We are seeing what changing leadership can mean…as women obtain positions of leadership new styles of leadership emerge…it is hard in our world today to just order people to do something and expect them to do it without questioning…”

“Dare to compete …Now it’s something you do very well here at Brown. Everyday you are gaining your own perspectives…Sure, the world is changing…there are no guarantees in this life, but…I am confident…with a new generation which dares to compete…It is what I have always believed America stands for. Thank you, and God bless you.”¹⁰

The question I have for Mrs. Clinton is the same question I have for the other feminists: What god or goddess are we invoking here for a blessing? Which “god”? There is more than one god listening. The Holy Spirit has a different message, and He comes with a different Spirit. What we need in our families, culture, politics, and churches is more men who know the difference in love that comes from the Father God and love that is offered from the spirit of the goddess. We need men who know how to lead and who don’t succumb to such counterfeit spirits of Satan. When men bow to the “spirit of the goddess” in passivity¹¹, our whole culture suffers. We are rapidly on a decline and the answer to our problems is not the spirit of the goddess.

We need Christians who know the difference in the counterfeit peace offered by demonic spirits and the true peace offered by the Prince of Peace. We need Christians who know the difference in “love” and “acceptance” offered from demonic familiar spirits and true love from the Father. We need more God-fearing men who stand up for the Bible in our homes, culture, and churches. The covenant and the structure that God ordained for the home and His church is being challenged today with a spiritual onslaught of darkness.  If we had more God-fearing men in this nation who live according to the Bible, no matter the cost, to make a stand for it out of sincere love for Jesus in purity, no matter the cost, we could never underestimate the power of change for good it would bring. From loving his wife like Jesus loves the Church to being a godly father in the home to his children; from setting an example of character in the workforce with any leadership position of management to the highest office in the land of Presidency in America, God is pleased when men lead, and when they lead well. God is glorified when men are good leaders and are true to His character, testing everything according to the Bible, refusing to bow to the goddess out of a deceiving spirit of “respect” for women in worship of the Mother-god.
