When My Friend Became A Deacon
By: Traci Rhoades | January 20, 2016
It all began because I wanted to stir things up a little bit. The idea wouldn't have even occurred to me twenty or even ten years earlier. I had probably just finished Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge. Or maybe Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessey.
Chivalry, Agency, and Selfless Service
By: Rachel Asproth | January 19, 2016
If men root their behavior toward others in a gendered, earthly code like chivalry, I believe that they miss the radical scope of Jesus’ call to selfless service and love.
Why Christian Identity Is Never Defined By Gender
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 13, 2016
Throughout the ancient world, gender was identity, and gendered spheres were guarded by the long arm of patriarchy. Yet, notice how Scripture boldly defies patriarchy by celebrating women whose achievements paralleled and often eclipsed men's in business (Proverbs 31), in political strategies (Abigail: 1 Samuel 25, Esther 4:4-17), in military tactics (Jael: Judges 4:17-22, Deborah: Judges 5:7), [...]

Wm. Paul Young, author of The Shack, builds another rich and imaginative space in Eve that questions our conceptions of God, of ourselves, and of the beginning. The novel parallels the rebirth and healing of Lilly from past traumas, with Mother Eve as her guide, and the first birth of creation in Genesis. Through these [...]
What Did Paul Mean By 'Silence' and 'Submission' in 1 Timothy 2:11?
By: Cheri Dale | January 6, 2016
What do we need to know about the Ephesians to better understand Paul's meaning in 1 Timothy 2:11? First, we need to know that the letter was written to address the influence of false teachers and second, we must understand the cultural background of the Ephesians.
Daughters, Rise Up
January 5, 2016
This one is for the daughters whose parents taught them, above all else, to submit to their husbands. For the wives whose husbands call them equals, but who are excluded from the decision-making table. For the women who work hard and raise up godly men, only to be placed beneath them in the body of [...]
