The Myth of Extraordinary Female Leadership
By: Tega Swann | March 21, 2016
If we hold female leaders to higher standards than male leaders, we discriminate against worthy women leaders and fail to address the gender-bias that preserves the “good old boys club” in the church.

Response to Kevin DeYoung's "Our Pro-Woman, Complementarian Jesus": Part 2
By: Philip B. Payne | March 9, 2016
DeYoung makes two other assertions. First, he states, "The Jewishness of the apostles is linked to a particular moment in salvation history, while their maleness is not. After Pentecost, the kingdom Jesus ushered was no longer for the Jews alone." Second, he states, "when the disciples needed a successor to Judas, the apostles looked for [...]

By: Karen Sethuraman | March 8, 2016
Many women are “pregnant” with a calling, a vision, an idea. They are called to lead, pastor, preach, teach, speak out, plant, champion, and take risks. These women are all waiting for the right time and place to give birth to their visions.
