Secular Manifestation and Girl Bossing Among Women of Faith
In a recent interview, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tara Sun, a renowned podcast host and author whose work inspires women to prioritize their faith in God. Throughout our conversation, we delved into various topics from her upcoming book, Surrender Your Story: Ditch the Myth of Control and Discover Freedom in Trusting God, and we also discussed the damaging effects of secular manifestation and “girl-bossing” on society and Christians. Tara’s unique way of interpreting God’s Word and her digital art adds a touch of creativity that captivates her audience.
Through her Truth Talks with Tara podcast, Instagram community, and other resources, Tara inspires women of all ages to comprehend, love, and live by God’s Word. During our conversation, Tara shared her thoughts on the harmful effects of secular manifestation and “girl-bossing.” She explained that these ways of thinking are damaging because they place the focus on self rather than on God. Tara encourages women of faith to reflect on their position and consider whether they are glorifying God or themselves.
I would like to share Tara’s thoughts on secular manifestation and girl-bossing with you because many of us have either experienced or know someone who has adopted these ways of thinking, believing them to be harmless. I hope that this piece encourages you to reflect on your position as a woman of faith and whether you are glorifying God or yourself.
Tell us about secular manifestation and girl bossing, and how it harms us as a society and as followers of Christ.
The idea of manifestation and girl-bossing seems harmless, but it is seriously dangerous to our souls. I can’t tell you how many people, not to mention Christian individuals, I have seen swept up in this trend. It may seem like not that big of a deal – like what’s the harm in focusing on positive things and desiring those things to come to pass in our lives? Well, the problem is that it sets us up as our own god. It completely disregards God, His power, and His will. It positions us as lord over our lives, when there is only one Lord. Not only does manifestation open us up to forces against God, it deeply affects our relationship with God. To the one who follows God but also feels pulled to this secular belief, I would encourage you to remind yourself of the gospel – plain and simple. Ephesians 2 tells us that it is by grace we have been saved, and it is of no work of ourselves. That alone reminds us that we have no power to attract anything to us. That alone reminds us that we live under the grace and provision of God alone. God is in control, and we are not – and that’s actually beautiful news.
