Mockingjays and Unicorns: How The Hunger Games Is Changing Our Perception of Female Leadership
By: Kelsey Widman | December 22, 2015

By: Aliyah Jacobs | December 14, 2015
From China to South Africa, to the US, and everywhere in between, patriarchy has roots. We are called to fight it on every front. The idea that men matter more than women is a gross denial of the truth of Christ. Jesus valued women enough to lay down his perfect life for them.

By: Rachel Asproth | December 7, 2015
I have always believed in God. But I didn’t always believe that God loved me. Patriarchal theology gave me no reason to think that I mattered like men mattered. For much of my life, I felt like I was standing on the very edge of the body of Christ, just waiting to be pushed [...]
Editor's Note: As Christ Emptied Himself
By: Tim Krueger | December 5, 2015
Depending on how it’s used, who says it, and what they mean, “submission” can be anything from dirty and disgusting to offensive and oppressive. Or, perhaps, even beautiful.
The Unsuspecting Egalitarians: An Unintentional Journey Toward Egalitarianism
By: Catherine Jacobson | December 5, 2015
Mark and I never meant to become egalitarians, at least not until we discovered we already were. This is the story of the long, winding road to recognize and gratefully celebrate that we are egalitarians. In retrospect, we were on that journey from the very first.
