December 18, 2019, Dallas – The voices of women in trauma and emotional pain fill the country through marches and media, yet many remain hopeless in a sea of anger and bitterness. She Loves Out Loud is a historic livestream broadcast in response to these cries.
On February 15, 2020, stories of restoration, peace and hope will be proclaimed via a free livestream broadcast as women from coast to coast come together in homes, college campuses, churches, pregnancy centers and rescue missions to love instead of hate; to heal instead of hurt; to be listened to instead of shout; and to pray together for healing and hope in intimate small groups.
“For the last two years there has been one thing burning in my heart and spirit, the power of prayer,” said vocalist, author, inspirational speaker and talk-show host, Sheila Walsh. “I woke up one morning with the phrase ‘Praying Women,’ ringing like a song inside me. I was invited by Diane Strack to a meeting in Washington, D.C., some months later, and it was clear as I prayed with the women that day that this is a song God is singing over many of His daughters. This is a fresh call in an urgent time.”
Author and She Loves Out Loud co-founder Diane Strack was impacted by the words of her late mentor Vonette Bright to “Gather the women to pray. They are the only hope for our nation.”
“I remembered her words as I watched the angry women parades and cried over the stories of abuse,” said Strack. “My heart broke at the wall of pain and anger that held back their hope. No one spoke of a way to find peace, and I thought, this cannot be the last word for the women of America! Love is not silent. Neither can we be. We must proclaim hope!”
Strack believes that hope and healing come through prayer and genuine, healthy relationships – women coming together in sisterhood, helping one another to find peace and a God-confident future. So, a passionate team of diverse women has come together to plan and execute She Loves Out Loud as a free, live-studio production broadcast.
During She Loves Out Loud on February 15, 2020, awe-inspiring, personal stories of women who found victory over their circumstances and challenges will be told in seven themes.
Sheila Walsh, Bible teacher, television host and bestselling author of numerous books including, It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, will lead the charge in praying for victory over depression;
Christa Lynn, licensed therapist and human trafficking survivor will lead in praying for abuse and trafficking victims and survivors;
Priscilla Shirer, speaker and New York Times bestselling author of multiple works including her award-winning book, Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan for Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer, will speak about and pray over race relations;
Megan Brown, winner of the 2019 Armed Forces Insurance Robins AFB Military Spouse of the Year award, will lead in praying over America and military spouses;
Carol Kent, speaker, non-profit founder, former radio co-host and prolific author of more than 20 books, including, When I Lay My Isaac Down, will pray over the nation’s children;
Melody and Tray Lovvorn, who founded the ministry UndoneRedone after experiencing infidelity, addiction, divorce and eventual remarriage, will lead the charge in praying over marriages; and
Claire Culwell, mother, speaker and abortion survivor will share her story of forgiveness, adoption and choosing life, along with her adoptive mother Barbara Culwell.
“I have been amazed at how people have responded, not only wanting to be involved but also offering their professional services, their time and their earnest prayers,” Strack said. “To me, that says this movement has been in the hearts of women already, and that She Loves Out Loud is the unique event that will bring women together for spiritual and emotional health.”
She Loves Out Loud is a non-denominational, non-political, free livestream proclamation of triumph over the past through the sisterhood of prayer and worship.
The She Loves Out Loud team is unanimous in this: “We want women to come away from the day saying, ‘My sisters saw me; they heard me; they loved me; and they gave me hope in Jesus' name.’”
