By: Sarah Brooks | February 7, 2018

Diverse groups of people who agree on nothing else are united in their conviction that sexual slavery is evil. Still, many groups diverge over which method best eradicates it.

Protectors Or Protected?
By: Erin Ortega | July 19, 2017
We all know about “schoolyard bullies”—kids who rely on physical strength to dominate others and rule the playground. The strict gender dichotomy some Christians argue for similarly elevates physical strength, furthering the myth that men's physical strength uniquely qualifies them for the role of protector.

By: Amy R. Buckley | March 16, 2017
A tidal wave of confusion is rocking the world of young evangelical men. Evidently, increasing numbers of men are questioning if gender-based roles are as clear as some proclaim. Recent studies suggest that an onset of doubting occurs in males between the ages of twelve and eighteen.

Over the decades, psychologists have gathered quite a lot of data on fatherhood and the role it plays in the lives of children.
