She affirms that the same Lord who calls and empowers men also anoints women to preach, teach, prophesy, heal, and deliver—according to His sovereign will.This updated edition speaks directly to the woman who has wrestled with calling, tradition, and identity. It is a bold invitation to rise beyond limitation and step fully into Kingdom purpose.Girl, Preach is more than a message—it is a commissioning. For daughters of the faith ready to walk in healing, freedom, authority, and spiritual boldness, this book is a clarion call to take your place as a voice in this generation.
A NOTE FROM TERESA
Words That Heal, Lead, and Inspire.
Thank you for being here.
Whether you picked up Talk About It!, The Bully in Your Brain, or Girl, PREACH, my hope is the same—that these pages encourage you, challenge you, and remind you that growth, healing, and purpose are possible.
Each book was written from a different part of my journey. Some were written to help people heal from the wounds of the past. Some were written to help children develop confidence and emotional resilience. Others were written to encourage people to walk boldly in their calling and influence.
As a counselor, author, speaker, and faith leader, I have spent years listening to stories of pain, courage, perseverance, and transformation. These books are an extension of those conversations and a reflection of what I have learned along the way.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. I hope these resources encourage you to heal deeply, lead confidently, and live with purpose.
With gratitude,
Teresa Lusk
