About International Women’s Day

Yesterday, when I saw on Instagram that it was International Women’s Day, I thought about what that means to me for a while. I grew up very conservative. I knew that if I went to Facebook I would see posts from people I knew about how women didn’t need a day (or a protest or […]

Getting A Vision

My office belongings are currently in our front hallway. There are stacks of books and Justin’s bag of basketballs. There’s a rolled-up rug draped on top of the speaker, artwork leaning against the wall and shelves stacked in the corner. My notebooks and mugs of pens and books that I keep close lay neatly in […]

Our head coach looked at the girls as […]

Episode 90: Complementarian or Egalitarian?

We could have titled this episode a lot of things: What We Believe about the Genders or Why Women Work or What’s Up with Spiritual Headship? You get the point, but we haven’t answered the question, have we? Since we answer this question in about two minutes, let us relieve the suspense. We’re neither complementarian nor egalitarian and we spend […]
