Reflections of A Wannabe Daddy's Girl
By: Guest Author | February 9, 2016
Girls matter. Whether it’s supporting girls in sports, education, or the church, your actions tell girls that they're important, or that they’re peripheral.
From Timothy To Creation: Part 1
By: Scott Lencke | February 8, 2016
Complementarians believe they are moving from creation to Timothy, but it seems that their theology is being settled through their particular reading of Timothy and then that theological bent is being read back into the creation story. This is where they construct their understanding of the “original creation order.”
The Invisible Knapsack of Male Privilege In the Church
By: Rachel Asproth | February 8, 2016
I’ve decided to create a list of the daily effects of male privilege in the context of the church and Christian community, or the knapsack (backpack) of male privilege.
Unnecessary Crusader
By: Jerri Dyer | February 3, 2016
Many women truly think there is something wrong with them because they aren't satisfied with a limited role in the church. They sit in the pews on Sunday, but they're dying inside because they want to preach, lead, and speak out in church. But they are told that women must be silent, that they must [...]
Dear Egalitarian Man With A Platform
By: Natalie Collins | January 31, 2016
I value your commitment to women’s full participation in the body of Christ. But your egalitarian values seem hollow when you stand on a platform full of men. They seem hollow when there are no women (or maybe a token woman) speaking beside you.

By: Erin Ortega | January 27, 2016
It occurred to me as I was reading Philemon recently that Paul actually uses the word, hypakoe or hypakouo, translated as "obey" when he asks Philemon to comply with his request to free the slave, Onesimus. This is significant because many Christians believe that wives are called to obey their husbands. Though some complementarians [...]
The Consequences of Complementarianism for Men
By: Kristen Rosser | January 26, 2016
This is a hypothetical conversation between an imaginary complementarian husband and wife. It’s not meant to depict how all complementarian couples relate to each other. I am presenting a possible marital conflict and proposing how the couple might have dealt with the issue.
An Age of Fearless Women
By: Rachel Asproth | January 25, 2016
I live in an age of fearless women. I live among the fire-starters, earth-shakers, and pot-stirrers. I live among women who cannot be bought, shifted, or erased. They are powerfully present, steady on their feet, and certain of their worth.
Decommissioning Broken Bowls
By: Jerri Dyer | January 24, 2016
Patriarchy is an earthly system that oppresses, limits, and silences women. The church has been complicit in the oppression of women for much of history. It is time for patriarchy to go.
When My Friend Became A Deacon
By: Traci Rhoades | January 20, 2016
It all began because I wanted to stir things up a little bit. The idea wouldn't have even occurred to me twenty or even ten years earlier. I had probably just finished Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge. Or maybe Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessey.
