OUCH.. Charlesga!!
My wife has taken Beth Moore Bible Studies and claims that they are wonderful studies. Just goes to show that God DOES call women to teach/preach His word and gives them insight....thanks for proving that point!
Beth Moore does NOT preach or teach men. She's a Southern Baptist and her pastor reads her material and helps guide her. She also calls herself a speaker.
Our pastor is friends with Beth's pastor and Bro. Alan's wife has known Beth for a few years. Both speak highly of her as a Christian woman used by God as a Sunday School teacher, wife and mother.

MISSION STATEMENT FOR LIVING PROOF MINISTRIES
We believe that Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
We believe that “salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 )
We believe “if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.”
(1 John 1:8)
We believe “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
We believe that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” and can fully redeem and powerfully use even those who consider they have been “the worst.” (1 Timothy 1:15)
We believe God “is patient, not wanting any to perish but everyone to come to repentance.”
(2 Peter 3:9)
We believe that all scripture is “God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
We believe that every believer in Christ is the “temple of the Holy Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:19)
We believe we have been “baptized by one Spirit into one body” (1Corinthians 12:13) and recognize the value and equality of all members of the body of Christ. We are “all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:29) We actively support the unity of all believers eclipsing all denominational, economic, or ethnic diversities.
We believe we have “different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:4)
We believe that “our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a Savior from there the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so they will be like His glorious body.” (Philippians 3:21) “And so shall we forever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
Until then, we believe we are to strive to “live holy and Godly lives as we look forward to the day of God.” (2 Peter 3:11,12)
ONE OF OUR VISIONS AT LIVING PROOF MINISTRIES
Living Proof is devoted to investing in the Spiritual lives of people of every color and denomination through sound Biblical teaching and uplifting praise and worship. Often we hear the noble expression "color blind" to describe people without racial prejudice. We're not at all sure "color blindness" is what God is looking for. We believe He wants us to appreciate and delight in our different colors and be "color-blessed" instead!
God has opened Beth's eyes to a disturbing fact that most of the events where she was speaking were attended by far fewer people of color than she expected to see. God turned that disturbance in Beth's heart into a full-fledged burden – to be part of a new acceptance and appreciation of Believers of all Christian denominations and colors…Technicolor Vision. We are now in the infant stages of the Technicolor Vision. Pray with us as we seek to break down these walls and find ways to bridge the gap!
Let's get a little taste of Revelation 7:9…I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,…and cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb."
