Just Like Dad
By: Lori Buckle | February 3, 2013
When I was a child, I wanted to be just like my dad. He was a preacher, and I loved watching him preach. Hearing his voice fill the sanctuary, hearing the people cry “Amen!” as the Spirit moved. Something about it all thrilled me. I couldn’t name this desire, I just knew that I [...]

"Man and Woman" or Husband and Wife" in 1 Timothy 2:8-15?
By: Philip B. Payne | January 30, 2013
“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
A woman without her man
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | January 26, 2013
I recently came across the following anecdote: An English professor asked his students to punctuate the following sentence: “A woman without her man is nothing.” All of the males in the class wrote: “A woman, without her man, is nothing.” All of the females in the class wrote: “A woman: without her, man is nothing.” [...]
"Man and Woman" or "Husband and Wife"?
By: Philip B. Payne | January 23, 2013
Page numbers in parentheses below refer to Payne’s book, Man and Woman, One in Christ. “But I want you to realize that the head/source (kephale) of every man (aner) is Christ, and the head/source (kephale) of woman (gune) is the man, and the head/source (kephale) of Christ is God” (1 Cor. 11:3). Egalitarians are often asked [...]
The ‘Male Mind’
By: Liz Sykes | January 18, 2013
I was following a link from another Christian website and came across the offer of a course for women which is written and taught by a man. Among other objectionable statements was one which says women can (and should) ‘get into and understand’ the male mind! If I was a guy, I would be offended [...]
Who's in Charge?
By: J.W. Wartick | January 16, 2013
“Who’s in charge?” was the type of question I kept getting asked as I dated my girlfriend, a young woman and an aspiring pastor. I had been raised with a complementarian worldview but had never been directly confronted with its implications until I started to dissent. Suddenly, friends and family were concerned that I [...]
"You're a Pretty Good Speaker for a Woman"
By: Kathy Escobar | January 9, 2013
A weird thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I was at our twins’ basketball game, sitting by myself, when a vivid memory swooped in out of the blue from seven years ago. At the time, I was still on big-church-staff, and we hosted a special event where several of us shared dreams for [...]
Motherhood and Vocation
By: Carla Foote | January 2, 2013
Is motherhood a big enough vocation? Seriously? Is this question a joke? Motherhood is a huge vocation, so perhaps a better question might be, “Has motherhood become an all-consuming vocation?”
Obedience?
By: Guest Author | December 29, 2012
“Home-schooled girls do not need ‘further’ education; they should just prepare for being a wife and mother.” “A daughter should stay at home and serve her father until he chooses a husband for her.” “The daughter is a ‘helpmeet’ for her father.” “Parents should never let their daughter be out of their sight.” “Women should [...]
