Work Less, Live More
By: Cathy and Phil Van Loon | March 5, 2008
Sometimes the gap between egalitarian belief and egalitarian practice can be hard to bridge. Is it really possible to have an equal marriage?
Guy "Secrets" Revealed? Mixed Messages for Teenagers in 'For Young Women Only'
By: Megan Greulich | October 31, 2007
Imagine yourself a teenage girl, strolling through your local Christian book store, when a small book that sounds too good to be true catches your eye. Someone actually wrote a book that claims to expose the workings of teenage guys? “It’s the inside scoop you’ve been waiting for! You’ll come to not [...]
The Church, Sexuality, and Eating Disorders
By: Cissy Brady-Rogers | January 30, 2007
The struggles of Christian women with sexuality, food, and their bodies reflect the Church’s historic ambivalence towards the body—particularly the female body. The embodiment of God in the Incarnation, Jesus’ embrace of lepers, prostitutes, and women, and Jesus’ bodily resurrection establish a radical foundation of body affirmation. Yet the history of the Church [...]
Book Review: Coming of Age: Exploring the Identity and Spirituality of Younger Men
By: Craighton Hippenhammer | December 5, 2006
Coming of Age is a result of the Young Male Spirituality Project, a joint effort of Lutheran Men in Mission, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Luther Seminary (St. Paul, Minn.) to find out why young men are staying away from the church in droves, a pattern that surveys are showing is increasingly alarming.
It's a Long Road
By: Beulah Wood | September 5, 2006
The ups and downs of being a woman in ministry continue. Not many people want a woman to teach homiletics, despite the fact that my students love my classes. I am beginning to do more teaching and writing on the equality of women and men in Asia.
Lessons from Hannah
By: John Hippe, DesAnne Hippe | September 5, 2006
Adoption was our first choice for bringing children into our family. The decision to adopt our daughter Hannah from China was strongly influenced by John’s experience as a missionary in China as well as China’s reputation for having a stable adoption process.
Focus on Adoptive Families
September 5, 2006
My prayer for all adopted children and their parents is that they would come to rest in the knowledge of God’s care in their lives, even in the times when it isn’t immediately apparent. It does not come early or easily…but it is worth it.
Birthfathers
By: Daryl Parks | September 5, 2006
The reality is that human birthfather stories are messy, complicated tales that contain elements of both good and evil. Should your next encounter with adoption stories find us absent, I invite you to welcome us in all of our complexity; it seems that the scriptures do.
Mishandling Marriage and the Sin of Uzzah
By: Gary Johnson | June 5, 2006
Yes, the family is under attack. And yes, restoration is critical. But the desire of some so-called “pro-family” advocates to turn back the clock 60 years to Father Knows Best and Ozzy and Harriet is not the answer, because it is not biblical.
Honey from the Rock
By: Janet O. Hagberg | December 5, 2005
As a spiritual director, I recommend to people who are trying to heal childhood religious experiences that they return to the scene of the crime and forgive people for what happened. Little did I know that I had another important step in my own process of forgiving people for my childhood religious experiences.
