Recipe for Disaster
By: Vaun Swanson | June 1, 2011
I’ve been saddened by allegations in the news reports this week that former California governor Arnold Schwartzenegger fathered the child of his household worker and France’s Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, raped a hotel maid. Why do so many powerful male leaders commit egregious acts towards women? I would like to propose [...]

No Will of My Own
By: Jon Zens | May 25, 2011
"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 [...]
What's (NOT) in a Name?
By: Guest Author | May 25, 2011
How does the man address the young woman who waits on him at the hardware store? “Kiddo.”What does the male lawn worker say when the lady of the house pays him? “Thanks, hon.” How does the fellow ask for directions? “Sweetie, can you tell me . . .?
Learning in Unity
By: Chrystal Westbrook | May 18, 2011
Any discussion of shared authority and responsibility between men and women must start with the importance Jesus placed on unity among his followers. Jesus’ prayer over all believers in John 17 places unity at the top of the list of concerns he brings to the Father. In that prayer he asks that we would be [...]
Better to be Mistreated with God's People...
By: TL K. | May 15, 2011
Yes, the world mistreats us as believers, and sometimes even fellow believers mistreat us, but it is still better to join together with our less than perfect brethren, than to separate and be friends with the world. But how do we deal with doctrinal problems and the ensuing battles?
Choosing Priest Instead of Princess
By: Laura Robinson | May 11, 2011
I hadn’t heard of Captivating yet or John and Stasi Eldredge’s Ransomed Heart Ministries, the undisputed flagship of what I call the “Christian princess movement.” So when I asked a friend about where all these crowns were coming from, she directed me to that book. I borrowed a copy and read it in a crowded coffee shop [...]
Civil War Balls
By: Yvette Menking | May 6, 2011
I’m trying to understand the appeal of Civil War Balls or Civil War Dances. They seem as out of place as Remember the Alamo Celebrations or World War II Festivities would be. Why celebrate a time of death and destruction? In my quest for understanding, I traveled to various destinations on the world wide [...]
Truth Incarnate
By: Aaron LeClaire | May 4, 2011
I’ve been reflecting this spring on the nature of belief and the idea that truth is incarnational: not until we experience a proposition for ourselves do we really believe its truth. Often we end up rejecting the existing proposition altogether and replacing it with a different, life-tested truth. This occurred to me again as I [...]
Sleeve Sermons and World Evangelization
By: Guest Author | April 28, 2011
He continued for another twenty minutes, trying to build a biblical case for the prohibition of short sleeves for women.“If you’re going to turn female apparel into an Eleventh Commandment, why stop at long sleeves?” I mused. “Why not press for floor-length hems or a burka?” What struck me most about the sermon [...]
