"To Set Captives Free"
By: Desiree Guyton | December 5, 2011
I identify with the Exodus story because of the deep burden and calling that God has placed in my life to guide his people out of slavery and the trappings of this world’s philosophy into his guiding way of life that is grounded in God’s son, Jesus Christ, and through the power of [...]
Your Kingdom Come
By: Megan Greulich | December 5, 2011
“Jesus prayed for God’s kingdom to reign on earth. Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven. When it comes to gender, the church has been settling for a lot less than God’s kingdom here on earth.”
The Whisper of Power
By: Kriste Patrow | December 5, 2011
Pornography is so prevalent that often one does not ask if a man watches pornography but rather how much. In one recent study conducted on male sex buyers, researchers defined a “non-user” as a man who had not used pornography more than one time in the last month.
Can Sex be Egalitarian?
By: Cristina S. Richie | December 5, 2011
Most people do not think of the Bible as a love manual, but, unsurprisingly, the Scriptures support the idea of egalitarian sex—both wife and husband exist for each other spiritually and physically when they make love.
Breaking Free from Favoritism
By: Emily Rice | December 5, 2011
Often when I've heard James 2 addressed in a sermon or in a Bible study, the message was a simple admonishment to “not show favoritism.” These lessons have their place in our image-conscious society.

By: G. David Korsen | December 5, 2011
Our challenge is to recognize, understand, and respond to the propaganda of patriarchy with discernment and courage, believing that “in Christ, the new creation has come: The old is gone and the new is here.” (2 Cor. 5:17).
The Paradox of Faith
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2011
In trusting the teachings of the Bible we experience the expansive joy that comes not from saving our lives, but paradoxically, from giving them away. As the creator and ruler of heaven and earth came not to be served but to serve, we too learn that leadership is not control, power, domination, or entitlement, as [...]
Junia Is Not Alone
By: Scot McKnight | December 1, 2011
In this fierce essay, leading Bible scholar Scot McKnight tells the story of Junia, a female apostle honored by Paul in his letter to the Romans—and then silenced and forgotten for most of church history. But Junia’s tragedy is not hers alone. She’s joined by fellow women in the Bible whose stories [...]

The Bible's Answer to Human Trafficking (Part 1)
By: Boaz Johnson | November 30, 2011
What does the Bible teach regarding the prevention of human trafficking? The answer to this question will depend on our answer to the next question. Is human trafficking just a recent phenomenon, or has it been a problem throughout human history? If we answer that yes—it has been a problem throughout human history, then we [...]
