Beyond Equality: Feminism and the Power of Naming
By: Rebecca Kotz | November 15, 2016
Defining feminism as an ambiguous ideology of “equality” may destigmatize the movement and get more people on the bandwagon, but doing so also neutralizes its power. Patriarchy, power, and privilege will certainly go unchallenged.
A Feminist's Take On The Cross: Justice Over Empire
By: Rachel Asproth | November 9, 2016
In a recent Arise article, Amy Buckley recounted an exchange between herself and a group of men who accused Christian feminists of using a hermeneutic of pain to interpret the Bible.

Gender Hierarchy in Genesis: Distortions, Not Directives
By: Alexis Waggoner | November 3, 2016
I don’t really like reading the creation story. This is partly because I skip ahead to what is often described as the “sin story.” I don’t like being told that “the man shall rule over” me (Gen 3:16). To Christians who do not ascribe to gender equality, this verse is prescriptive. It’s used [...]

Bitches, Bunnies, Chicks, Heifers, Vixens, Shrews, Women. Are you offended by anything in this list? If so, why? Is it the mention of a certain derogatory term for women that also means “female dog”? Is it the implication that women are less than human and belong in the category of animals?

In recent years, we American evangelicals have struggled more than ever to manage our “image.” In 2016 alone, significant numbers of abused women and children have exposed one prominent evangelical leader after another. These evangelical leaders have betrayed the trust of thousands who invested in their theology and leadership, leaving a trail of victims in their [...]

By: Maureen Farrell Garcia | October 19, 2016
Babies love contrasting colors, repetition, and music. Some brilliant people realized this attraction and created baby sensory videos. My granddaughter has a few favorites.
6 Myths About Advocating for Women in Ministry
By: Debbie Fulthorp | October 18, 2016
Recently, I received a couple of e-mails from a few well-meaning friends suggesting that I tone it down with social media posts advocating for women in ministry. These friends suggested that my posts caused tension, made the church look bad, and would turn people away from attending church.
Challenging "Locker Room Talk"
By: Naomi Krueger | October 13, 2016
When I was a senior in high school, I engaged in a one-woman feud with the football team and school administrators after the opening night of our musical was cancelled to accommodate a conference championship football game. My brother, a sophomore on the football team, told me that the seniors were complaining about me in [...]

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 10, 2016
Have you ever been to a really great party? And have you ever found yourself, days later, replaying powerful conversations with friends and coworkers, thankful for the strong community they represent? That’s how the CBE team felt after laboring alongside colleagues in South Africa and Kenya for two weeks during the “Truth Be Told” [...]
