Testimonials from Attendees

We are fearfully and wonderfully made! In a world full of so many opinions and unhealthy things, we owe it to our girls to arm them with the knowledge about their bodies and cycles. Doran does a beautiful job providing a curriculum that guides mothers and daughters in learning God’s amazing design in them.

BP

It’s important for me to learn from Maidens by His Design so that I can glean from it personally and then share with other girls and women. This is so that any shame tied to how God created us can be erased and replaced with confidence and excitement!

JJ

Maidens by His Design, exploring God’s creation of our bodies and cycle health workshop — register now. ‘I was blind, but now I see’. I have 3 daughters that I can now go and teach thanks to God and these tools.

TA

I am excited to have this training so that I can talk to my own girls and others in my community about their bodies, in a way that is positive and empowering. I also now feel empowered to help my daughters as they start to ask questions about their bodies or even about my body. This training helps to fill a hole and answer questions I didn’t realize I had.

SR

I’ve been to two mother/daughter workshops and they’ve been so helpful to us as a family. That is why I want to teach this material. We need to get the word out that we were designed by God and that everything that happens to us developmentally in puberty, in maternity, and in menopause is in His perfect plan for us

The Blessings of Maidenhood, Maternity & Menopause

is a clarion call to women everywhere. Doran Richards shares her knowledge and passion for women to change the tide of negativity in our churches, communities and culture with regards to women’s bodies, phases, and cycles. What is often lost to many, ignored, or steeped in deep-rooted cultural deceptions and negativity, is the exhortation to look once again to our Creator, His design, and His purpose. Doing so brings a welcome understanding of the physiological truth, spiritual significance, and a call to action is so desperately needed among women of today.

Hi friends - 40 is a really lovely number isn't it? That is the # we are aiming for this year as far as participants of our yearly, annual, retreat in Middleburg. We are right above 30 and would encourage each of you who are coming, who said they are coming, to put the deposits down this weekend! Don't wait till cut off on the 10th... now is the time! Doing something "afraid" is oftentimes the best grower of our spirit we have! God knows what your heart, mind, and soul needs... and strength will come from obedience to listening and acting upon what you know to be true! 40 represents a time of trial and perseverance and getting through to the other side... What do you need to get to the other side from? Is your land of milk and honey waiting for you? 40 is our number... attendees... we are counting on and preparing for, in faith! Promotion is not for ME, for the bottom line, it is for YOU --- and we know that your life will be renewed with your attendance. It can't help to be, if you come and be authentic and intentional as you lean in to what the Lord has for you as an individual. We have folks from ALL over coming again this year. It will be neat to see who travelled the longest. It will be beautiful to see new friendships being formed and old ones strengthened.
