When Staying In An Abusive Relationship Is Part of Your Theology
By: Rachel Asproth | October 7, 2015
I was recently perusing the comments on a blog post by complementarian Tim Bayly. Two female commenters were sparring over feminism’s simultaneous assertions of female strength and female subordination through socialization. The women went back and forth on the supposed contradiction of asserting that women are, by nature, capable of “standing up for themselves” [...]
3 Ways That Patriarchy Harms Men
By: Rachel Asproth | October 5, 2015
It is undeniable that women are negatively impacted by patriarchy.

By: Aliyah Jacobs | September 28, 2015
As a psychologist, I have to be perceptive. Having worked with abused women for five years, I look for the unspoken words and hidden gestures that speak to the truth behind their narratives. Recently, I’ve found myself doing the same thing with movie characters. While characters in movies are supposed to be fictional, they [...]
Let's Talk About Intimacy
By: Amy F. Davis Abdallah | September 23, 2015
It is okay to want deep intimacy, to not have it, but to not choose false intimacy—and to sit in the longing. God meets us there. Really? Then, why do I desperately want to avoid sitting in the longing?
Why Do Christians Think Sex Is Bad?
By: Ellysia Koenig Banks | September 22, 2015
The InterVarsity Christian Fellowship group at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) conducted an outreach project on campus. They set up a large board and invited all passing college students to write down their “Questions for God.” Some of the responses were given to panelists to discuss at a large group meeting. I was honored [...]
Let's Talk About Sexuality
By: Amy F. Davis Abdallah | September 18, 2015
Let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about sexuality. And in so doing, let’s realize that we’re all sexual and we all long for connection with others that is not fully provided in sexual intercourse. Let’s embrace solitude, know ourselves, and bring that self to others in a healthy way in [...]
