New posting: Sarah Palin to speak at OKC faith event
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be a featured speaker at an Oklahoma City Christian women’s conference in April.
The former vice-presidential candidate is set to speak on the first night of the Women of Joy conference set for April 15-17 at State Fair Arena. 
Palin spoke about faith and family at a September 2010 Women of Joy event in San Antonio, Texas. At that time, evangelist Phil Waldrep, whose Phil Waldrep Ministries sponsors the women’s conference, said he was glad that Palin had agreed to talk about how her faith impacts her life.
“The event is nonpolitical. It is simply a gathering for Christian women to rejoice in their faith, renew their spirits and fellowship with their sisters in Christ,” Waldrep said in a 2010 news release.
Palin drew a large crowd to a 2009 booksigning for her book “Going Rogue” at Hastings in Norman. She spoke at an Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs’ annual Liberty Gala in September 2010 in Tulsa.
Other speakers and performers at the Women of Joyconference include author and radio show host Kay Arthur, contemporary Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith, author Karen Kingsbury, Christian comedianne Anita Renfroe and Christian recording artist Charles Billingsly.
Phil Waldrep Ministries is headquartered in Trinity, Ala. Waldrep is host of the syndicated “Living With Joy” radio show.

I am so saddened to hear that Kay Arthur will be standing along side with Sarah Palin. I have admired Kay for many years and gained so much from her teachings. But In my deepest of hearts, I do not believe that Sarah Palin sets a good example for Christianity. I don’t want to judge, but there is no denying that her behavior is not what I feel has been honest. There is no question that several untruths have been made by Palin concerning when she was governor. Worst, was her quitting without good reason, other then to make money from her books and appearances. She has become a notorious celebrity and she makes sure that her name is always in the news. I can not imagine that Kay would use “WTF” against our president, for example.
And her children’s behavior has also been called into question. I can not imagine that Kay Arthur would use “WTF” against our President. Or that her family members would use the “F” word in an attack against gays.
All in all. I am just devastated that Kay would be in allegiance with Palin. I will never be able to trust another word Kay says. This grieves me so much.
