Is Bible Belles Woke?

What They Do

Bible Belles publishes children's books built around women in Scripture. The core HEARD series covers Hannah, Esther, Abigail, Ruth and Deborah, and the catalog extends into devotionals, coloring books, interactive journals, activity and party packs, eBooks and accessories. The company was founded in 2011 by co-founders Erin and Brent Weidemann. The production details are specific enough to check: the books are illustrated by a former Disney animator, laid out by a designer who worked on VeggieTales books, and printed in the United States. Erin Weidemann also hosts the Heroes For Her podcast and runs a companion effort called Truth Becomes Her, aimed at equipping women for leadership. The company describes its purpose this way: "Train them - together, as a strong collective of adults who are dedicated to loving and leading well. Courage begets courage. Love begets love. Leadership begets leadership." No physical location or staff count is published on the site.

Why There's No Political Footprint Here

Bible Belles has no ESG report, no DEI program, no HRC rating and no political action committee. That is not a stand anyone took. It is simply what a business at this scale is. Corporate political activity is a function of size: it requires an investor relations department to answer index questionnaires, a compliance officer to sign the disclosures, and a government affairs budget to fund the giving. A small independent publisher has a book catalog and a print run.

What We Checked

We reviewed the company's own website and searched for federal political contributions, lobbying filings and corporate advocacy campaigns. We found none. At this size, that is the expected result, not a discovery. We could not verify the company's headquarters location or employee count, because the site does not state either.

The Bottom Line

Money spent here goes to an independent publisher and the people it pays to write, illustrate and print, not to a corporate political apparatus. We make no claim about the founders' personal politics - we do not know them, and it is not our business. What we can tell you is that your money is not funding anything.
