Ahead of the Culture
By: Guest Author | March 9, 2011
We don't always get a clear picture of Bible women when we extract only certain examples from the Scripture. There was the disobedient Eve and the treacherous Jezebel and Lot's reluctant wife. If we conclude that this is "how women were," we miss the grand challenge of Esther and Abigail and Mary of Bethany and [...]
The Recognizable Body of Christ
By: Megan Greulich | March 5, 2011
This issue of Mutuality begins (and continues) many good conversations, as our authors explore beauty, gender, and faith from various perspectives.
A Letter to My Baby Girl
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | March 5, 2011
Before you were born, your father and I chose not to learn your gender. We knew we'd love you and raise you with the same values and opportunities—boy or girl. When the doctor announced that you were a girl, we were overjoyed.
Leaving Beauty Behind
By: Bethany Nelson | March 5, 2011
You’re not pretty enough. I’ve heard that voice in my head ever since I was a little girl. It didn’t matter if I got straight A’s, if my poem won a contest in school, if I succeeded in a spelling bee. As I grew older, the voice became more shrill [...]
My Body, Given to You: A Journey Through Anorexia
By: Heather Scheiwe Kulp | March 5, 2011
In recovering from anorexia, I had to relearn how to read Scripture, not as separate, disjointed messages colored by the voices of male “authority” around me, but as a whole, creative, redemptive narrative of God’s journey of trust with God’s people.

Ten Fun Ways Youth Groups Can Begin to Think About Beauty and Body Image...Biblically
By: Margot Starbuck | March 5, 2011
Today women and girls are bombarded with messages meant to persuade us that we’re not really acceptable the way we are. And even though we’ve been told, at church, that “God thinks you’re beautiful,” we’re not feeling the love. Because it’s much easier to believe what we receive from the [...]
From the Malls of America to the Destitute of the World
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2011
Do you find yourself reluctant to attend women’s retreats, Bible studies, or conferences because too often they focus on fashion, dieting, women’s emotions, and new forms of abdominal exercises? Are you confused by Christian blogs for women where, again, the discussions center on fashion and appearance? How many times have you perused Christian [...]
A Crown of Thorns: Why I'm Exchanging Princess-ship for Discipleship
By: Laura Robinson | March 5, 2011
All of a sudden, it seemed that paper crowns were everywhere in the Christian community, distributed to women with a discussion about how we are all princesses. It was a candy-coated, conviction-free reminder I got every time I walked into a women’s discipleship group, youth ministry, or Christian bookstore—you are a princess because [...]
March for Equality: Celebrating Women's History Month
By: Jenny Dunham | March 2, 2011
I’m sure you join me in eagerness to celebrate the contributions of women in March—Women’s History Month. While this is an exciting time to celebrate women in history, I’m sure you also feel that women’s history should be taught right alongside men’s history, every month of the year. I am saddened that it took me [...]
