Get Your Strategy On
I admit it. Pink’s new song, “So What,” is very catchy. The song has climbed to number one in iTunes. Check out what she’s expressing as a woman about her relationship with a man:
So so what?
I’m still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don’t need you
And guess what
I’m having more fun
And now that we’re done
I’m gonna show you tonight
I’m alright, I’m just fine
And you’re a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don’t want you tonight
I’m not condemning Pink for revealing the wounds she has experienced from men. It makes me wonder, though, is it just a catchy tune or is the song popular because the words of the song resonate with women? Have men helped fuel an identity crisis for women?
That brings me to our conversation yesterday. We confirmed in our creativity meeting that we’ll be launching a series at NewSpring in October to address this very issue. Last spring we did a series targeted to men. As Perry promised, we’re going to return the favor for women in October. It’ll be called “Beautiful: a Series for Women and the Men who Pursue Them.”
You may not know it, but Jesus had a lot to say about women and their identity. I’ve seen outlines of what Perry plans to share in this series. I can assure you, women will walk away with an entirely new perspective of themselves. And, honestly, I think men are going to really appreciate the frank nature of this conversation as well. Speaking from experience, there’s nothing more beautiful (and sexy) than a woman who fully grasps her identity in Christ.
Get ready to see Perry show off his rock moves. Watch for more details about this new series starting October 19 at both the Anderson and Greenville campuses.

I can’t wait to watch this series online! I was just having a conversation about this with one of our pastors this week. We are getting ready to launch our second series on marriage in 2 years. I said that it was difficult to be single in our church, and in THE church. They didn’t really get it, but I think you summed it up. It is amazing when we, as individuals, know our identity in Christ. Can’t wait!!!

Good stuff…I hate when those “catchy” tunes from artists you would not normally listen…rock your world…it happened to me with a FERGIE song.

Gotta be honest. I think a lot of ladies can identify and that’s just the reality of it. But let’s be honest, women can cause some pretty rough wounds too.
Anyways, I love the insight you pull from simple things.
God bless

Ever since reading this blog I can’t get this song out of my head. I’m super excited about this series coming up. Just thought I’d throw it out that if the song isn’t catchy enough to get stuck in your head, you should check out it’s video. It is HILARIOUS!!!!
