Why I Call Myself An Evangelical Feminist: Part 2
By: Amy R. Buckley | February 17, 2016
Back then, I didn't know any feminists, and I didn't think it was possible to be a Christian and a feminist. It didn't occur to me until years later to think critically about the jokes, or to question why so many—including evangelicals—write off feminists.
Reflections of A Wannabe Daddy's Girl
By: Guest Author | February 9, 2016

Woman, Thou Art More Than Curves
By: Tega Swann | January 13, 2016
We must affirm women of all sizes and shapes as we do for men, because we recognize that there’s a person, a soul, in each body. A wonderful, beautiful person who is deeply loved and valued by God.
Mockingjays and Unicorns: How The Hunger Games Is Changing Our Perception of Female Leadership
By: Kelsey Widman | December 22, 2015
We need stories like The Hunger Games to show us that female leadership is not a far-fetched dream, accomplished only by those of us willing and able to claw our way up to the top. Normalized female leadership is a desirable and necessary element of the kingdom of God.

Why The End of China's One-Child Policy Matters
By: Aliyah Jacobs | December 14, 2015
From China to South Africa, to the US, and everywhere in between, patriarchy has roots. We are called to fight it on every front. The idea that men matter more than women is a gross denial of the truth of Christ. Jesus valued women enough to lay down his perfect life for them.
5 Wedding Traditions That Could Use An Egalitarian Spin
By: Emmaline Kempf | August 5, 2015
Before doing something in your wedding because it’s a tradition, think about whether you are including it for the sake of tradition or because it means something to you. Either way, if you consider God’s design of equality in marriage to be your intention, then no tradition can hold sway over your marriage.
The Fire Within Our Stories
By: Aliyah Jacobs | March 25, 2015
I received a gentle vision from God. It started with a picture and ended with the voice of God telling me to embark on a mission—a mission to encourage women around the world to tell their stories.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: An Assault on Female "Dumbness"
By: Paul Hjellming | March 13, 2015
Ok I’ll just admit it. I didn’t plan on binge-watching an entire season of the new comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in a single evening but last Friday, having no other activities planned, I sat down to just watch one or two episodes. And anyone who’s watched any TV on Netflix knows how [...]
Oscars Recap: A Night of Speaking Out
By: Paul Hjellming | February 23, 2015
You would think after all that was made (most of it justified) of the inequities of this year’s Oscar nominations that last night would have been more of the same. And to a certain extent it was. A lot of white men got up to accept awards, reflecting the Academy’s [...]
