A Celebration of Dads Who Nurture
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2017

Defending My Daughters Against Rape Culture
By: Eugene Hung | March 5, 2017
Just as violence against women and girls has its roots in rape culture, rape culture in turn has its roots in a patriarchal worldview. This doesn’t mean that men with a patriarchal worldview necessarily harm women and girls; the vast majority, of course, do not.
Paying Attention to Fatherhood: Why I Stepped Down from Pastoral Ministry
By: Touger Thao | March 5, 2017

Adventures in Missing the Point: A Response to TGC's Essay on Power
By: Jamin Hübner | February 15, 2017
A reading of the New Testament and Jesus of Nazareth in its own context points us away from all flawed forms of earthly power and authority—those based on maleness, ethnicity, on who has the larger army, who has the most wealth, etc.
February Isn't Enough: The Historical Erasure of Black Women
By: Rachel Asproth | February 13, 2017
Years of conversations with women of color and some harsh lessons on intersectional feminism (as well as womanism, mujerista theology, native feminism, etc.) revealed that my feminist history was narrow and exclusive and likewise, so was my feminism.

By: Amy R. Buckley | February 7, 2017
In a profound about face, large numbers of evangelical women are turning their backs on male-centered laws and leadership hierarchy. Evidently, they are confused because gender-based roles aren’t as clear as some proclaim.

By: Leah Ross | February 7, 2017
We just saw the end of January, the month of fresh starts and new beginnings. For many Christians, it also marks the beginning of an attempt to read the Bible in its entirety, from Genesis to Revelation, in a year. In light of that, I’d like to cover a few basic egalitarian principles that [...]
