When Staying In An Abusive Relationship Is Part of Your Theology
By: Rachel Asproth | October 7, 2015
I was recently perusing the comments on a blog post by complementarian Tim Bayly. Two female commenters were sparring over feminism’s simultaneous assertions of female strength and female subordination through socialization. The women went back and forth on the supposed contradiction of asserting that women are, by nature, capable of “standing up for themselves” [...]
3 Ways That Patriarchy Harms Men
By: Rachel Asproth | October 5, 2015
It is undeniable that women are negatively impacted by patriarchy. I can go round after round on how patriarchy teaches women that they are peripheral and secondary in the grand story of God’s relationship with humanity.

By: Amy F. Davis Abdallah | October 5, 2015
Christian womanhood. What does it mean? When does it happen — at a certain age, status, or maturity? How do we know we're no longer girls? And when we've figured that out, how will others know to call us "woman" rather than "girl"?

By: Stewart M. Hoover, Curtis D. Coats | October 2, 2015

Equality In Ephesian Leadership
By: Dalaina May | September 30, 2015
Early in his writings, Paul authored Galatians, a book primarily dedicated to explaining to Jewish Christians that their uncircumcised Gentile brothers were not second class members of the church. Paul directly refutes this concept of hierarchy in Christian community in Galatians 3:28.
Loving Your Body Is An Act of Faith
By: Margaret Felice | September 29, 2015
How many of us have shaped our lives around the message that when we go out to proclaim the reign of God we must “take nothing for the journey” (Luke 9:3)? We are called to be free on our journey of discipleship. We aren’t meant be burdened by clutter or excess.
Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood
By: Nate Pyle | September 29, 2015
Man Enough challenges the idea that there is one way to be a man. The masculinity that pervades our church and culture often demands that men conform to a macho ideal, leaving many men feeling ashamed that they’re not living up to God’s plan for them. Nate uses his own story of not [...]
What Cinderella's Prince Taught Me About Male Vulnerability
By: Aliyah Jacobs | September 28, 2015
As a psychologist, I have to be perceptive. Having worked with abused women for five years, I look for the unspoken words and hidden gestures that speak to the truth behind their narratives. Recently, I’ve found myself doing the same thing with movie characters. While characters in movies are supposed to be fictional, they [...]
