Book Review: Finding Their Voices: Sermons by Women in the Churches of Christ
By: Dawn Gentry | April 30, 2016
D'Esta Love’s compendium is not only a historic record of change in the Churches of Christ, it also preserves the words of the women themselves . . . Because opportunities for women to preach in conservative churches remain infrequent, Love has collected these sermons as a way to “document that history as well as preserve their words” (25) . . .

Mutual Submission: A Response to CBMW's "Soap Bubbles Submission"
By: Sarah Lindsay | April 27, 2016
A recent blog post on the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood's website titled, "Soap Bubbles Submission," caught my attention for a number of reasons. I want to respond to the author's understanding of submission as expressed in the article.
Are You Responsible for Empowering Women?
By: Alexis Waggoner | April 27, 2016
We all have a “thing”—a certain issue, cause, or topic that can easily get us riled up and climbing up on our soapboxes. One of my “things” is building supportive communities for women in the church. So much so that, when my husband and I were at brunch with a group of friends [...]

Justifying Injustice with the Bible: Apartheid
By: Kevin Giles | April 20, 2016
No complementarian today is willing to admit that, with Bible in hand, leading evangelical and Reformed theologians argued that slavery was instituted by God and approved by him. If they did, they might have to re-examine their argument that God has permanently subordinated women to men.
Brave Hearts
By: Angela Hurst | April 20, 2016
Women in ministry volunteer, train others, and certainly come under “live fire." They are expected to excel in all they do. They go to ministry school, living and training under the same conditions as the men. Yet they receive less pay, if they receive any pay at all, and certainly less opportunity.
Helicopter Headship
By: Ashley Easter | April 19, 2016
When women and girls are patronized by helicopter headship, they are unable to develop into the strong, competent, leading individuals that they were created to be.
Rahab The Righteous
By: Crystal Lutton | April 18, 2016
This is the first article in a series examining what Christians have been taught about women in Scripture. Growing up in the church, it seemed to me that every woman in the Old Testament was a prostitute, a victim of sexual violence, or sexually immoral in some way. I thought their lives must have [...]
Living Post-Fall: Partners, Not Competitors
By: Sarah Ago | April 15, 2016
Our kingdom vision reminds us that we need to hold tightly to Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. No longer are we bound by the Fall or called to perpetuate the effects of it! We are called to live in a redemptive reality, which is counter to worldly division.
