Representation Sparks Conversations
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2018
Women leaders' very presence creates conversation because it challenges the single narrative that dominates many Christian circles—leadership is the domain of men.
Embodying What Can Be: What Star Trek and Women Preachers Have In Common
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2018
Just as it matters who we see on TV, it matters who stands behind our pulpits on Sundays. If the Bible teaches that women and men are both called to lead and preach (and it does), then our churches must reflect it.
Why We Need to Correct for Patriarchal Bias in Bible Translations
By: Tim Krueger | December 5, 2017
Evangelical tradition places a high value on the biblical text, which is a good thing. But too often, we buy into a myth that our favorite translation is God’s true Word, pure and untainted by bias. Changes are seen as a threat to God’s truth, motivated by a social or political agenda.

Editor's Reflections | Spring 2017 (31.2)
By: Jeff Miller | April 30, 2017
Genesis 29:25 is one of the Bible’s more startling verses: “When morning came, there was Leah!” (NIV). Have you ever wondered how Jacob could not know—for the better part of a day and all of a night—that he had married Leah instead of Rachel? Surely several factors were at work, and just as [...]
A Celebration of Dads Who Nurture
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2017
My dad showed me that a great father, like a good man, is defined not by strength, but by tenderness. A great father doesn’t run from his feelings, but knows and communicates them. He is fully invested in the nurturing of his children.
Seeing Women, Finding Equality
By: Tim Krueger | December 5, 2016
Where they aren’t erased, biblical women are often misrepresented. The Samaritan woman is remembered as a serial adulteress, when it’s just as likely her five marriages were the result of things beyond her control
Rejoice With Us: God Is Making All Things New
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 21, 2016
"There were several women who had never heard that the Bible says they can be leaders. It brings me to tears every time... more women have been freed by the truth to join God's mission! Praise God!"
