This was a guest post for the Women in Ministry Series at In a Mirror Dimly in 2012. That website is now mothballed, but I found my post in the internet archives. I’m sharing it here. As I walked out into the cool autumn air, I felt the familiar combination of elation and exhaustion. I …

I’ve been participating in a discussion at The Gospel Coalition on Why Is TCG Complementarian? There is a video and post that generated a good deal of discussion and some truly excellent comments.

In recent weeks much was written about the exchanges between Tim Challies and Ann Voskamp regarding Challies’ review of her book, One Thousand Gifts. He didn’t like the book, she sort of responded, and he sort of backed down when she invited his family to dinner. I will confess that I haven’t read the book. …

Yesterday I turned 45. I’ve lived a lot of life and experienced quite a bit in those 45 years. When I said in a recent post (Mark Driscoll Says Macho Men and Dudes are the Key to the Future of the Church) that I believed we were going to see a person’s views on the …

I’ve been splitting my mental energy between March Madness and sorting through the reading I’ve been doing on the church. If you are a newer reader you might not be totally aware of my love of college basketball. It is the only sport I follow. I follow MSU football, but I don’t follow college football. …

I mentioned in a comment on my previous post that I had another story to link. This story comes from the site Resignation of Eve which is also the name of the book written by Jim Henderson. (I haven’t read it.) The post Oops…700 Club Reporter is Wrong Gender for Church Service includes a real …
