By: Liz Sykes | April 15, 2015
There has been much written regarding how some people seem more adversely affected by headship teaching than others. It can appear as though a person’s early experiences of life is crucial to how they see themselves in relation to authority figures, especially in the church. Both girls and boys observe how the adults around [...]
He Calls Us By Name
By: Anne Zaki | April 15, 2015
Mary Magdalene's life changed irrevocably. Nothing could be done to change what had happened. After finding the tomb empty in John 20, the other disciples returned to their homes. Mary could not leave.
Meet Me at the Tomb: Christ's Gender Redemption through Mary
By: Elizabeth Drummond | April 13, 2015
I remember the women—Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome—who discovered the empty tomb while delivering spices to Jesus’ grave (Mark 16:1-8). And the fact that Jesus first revealed himself to Mary, a woman, was constantly emphasized my wonderful mom.

By: Sarah Lindsay | April 10, 2015
Too Heavy A Yoke is an important and accessible resource for understanding the ways in which racism and sexism—both historical and contemporary—impacts the lives of black women.

Whatever the case, Christians today—generally [...]

You're probably surrounded by women who are making history in one way or another, and you might not know it, because of course, they won't talk about it. They're too busy loving their neighbors. I'm fairly sure that most of these women are content to be forgotten by history, so long as God is remembered.
