Are You Responsible for Empowering Women?
By: Alexis Waggoner | April 27, 2016
We all have a “thing”—a certain issue, cause, or topic that can easily get us riled up and climbing up on our soapboxes. One of my “things” is building supportive communities for women in the church. So much so that, when my husband and I were at brunch with a group of friends [...]

In part 1, I opened by clarifying that I sincerely believe gender-inclusive Bible translation always matters. Nevertheless, it matters more in some places than in others. I described four examples where gender-inclusive Bible translation makes a real difference. Here I list three more.
7 Places Where Gender-Inclusive Bible Translation Really Matters: Part 1
By: Jeff Miller | April 25, 2016

Justifying Injustice with the Bible: Apartheid
By: Kevin Giles | April 20, 2016
No complementarian today is willing to admit that, with Bible in hand, leading evangelical and Reformed theologians argued that slavery was instituted by God and approved by him. If they did, they might have to re-examine their argument that God has permanently subordinated women to men.

Rahab The Righteous
By: Crystal Lutton | April 18, 2016
This is the first article in a series examining what Christians have been taught about women in Scripture. Growing up in the church, it seemed to me that every woman in the Old Testament was a prostitute, a victim of sexual violence, or sexually immoral in some way. I thought their lives must have [...]
Living Post-Fall: Partners, Not Competitors
By: Sarah Ago | April 15, 2016
Our kingdom vision reminds us that we need to hold tightly to Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. No longer are we bound by the Fall or called to perpetuate the effects of it! We are called to live in a redemptive reality, which is counter to worldly division.
Justifying Injustice with the Bible: Slavery
By: Kevin Giles | April 13, 2016
Complementarians are absolutely convinced that what they teach on the man-woman relationship is what the Bible teaches. To reject their teaching is to reject the Bible, and because the Bible is literally God's words, to reject that teaching is to disobey God himself.
Biblical Triggers: Rape in the Bible
By: Sarahbeth Caplin | April 12, 2016
The disturbing story of David is an example of how violence and poor moral choices can be turned around and redeemed. But more importantly, it’s a reminder that women who have been hurt and abused can be used for glory, too.
