Today I’m a True Woman; or I will be, at any rate. This morning, before the sun comes up, I’ll be heading to Chicago to take in the True Woman Conference. This conference promises to be unique among those I’ve attended for the very fact that it is a conference for women (and, in case you’ve never realized it, I’m no woman). Of course I’m accustomed to going to conferences for which I am not the core demographic—I’ve been to pastors’ conferences, youth conferences, preaching conferences and the like. But I don’t know that I will ever have felt so different as I’m bound to feel there in Chicago, Illinois, among 6,000+ women. Time will tell, I suppose.
Anyways, it promises to be an excellent event. The list of speakers is top-notch and it sounds as if True Woman has a unique goal. I’ll tell you more about that once the conference gets underway. For now I’ve got customs to clear and a plane to catch. I’ll check in from the other side. Expect an update later this evening.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband to Aileen and a father to three young children. I worship and serve as a pastor at

Sounds like a great conference. I’m planning on watching some of the video feeds.
Here’s a big perk: You’ll be able to go to the restroom at will. Compared to the women’s facilities, the men’s will be smooth sailing!
Al raises a good point. UNLESS they convert most/all of the men’s restrooms to women’s restrooms for the conference. I’ve seen them do the reverse for a men’s conference.
I would’ve liked to have been a bug on the wall in the meeting where they decided to invite Tim. “You realize that he’s a guy, right?”
I was really sad that I couldn’t attend this conference, especially since I only live an hour away.
Hey Tim, we live about 5 miles from the convention center (unfortunately, my wife is a nurse and couldnt go…which is a shame considering how close it is). If you’re looking for any good places to sight-see or eat in the area, shoot me an email. Enjoy your time in Schaumburg!
My prayers are with you.
My wife would love to go to a conference such as this one — she has subscribed to the True Woman blog. Unfortunately such things don’t come to the northeast very often. But she is planning on coming to the Gospel Coalition conference with me!
Ha. You said “Anyways.”
Can’t wait to hear ALL the details about the conference! I was supposed to go but my friend backed out last minute and we were even FREE! Ugghhh. I am so disappointed but know that God knew this would happen months ago!
:)
My wife is attending this conference. I haven’t heard how things are going, but she was really looking forward to it.
Tim you are married. I don’t think it’s wise for you to go. You should send a single guy like me to the conference. It would be the wise discerning thing to do :) Haha!

You know, I actually thought of that. Unfortunately, it looks like they’ve already commandeered most of the men’s rooms…
