I mentioned a few times over the past several weeks that I was thinking of taking up the topic of women in the church again here on my blog. I once had another website named A Woman’s Freedom in Christ. I wrote on it for a number of years, but finally closed it down when the intersectionality and woke madness really started to infiltrate things online. I did not have the time to keep up and I did not want to be associated in any way with the people pushing those heresies on the church.
If you desire more backstory, you can read my post Why I’m Not a Christian Feminist and What I Am.
When I reviewed the archived posts to make sure I really and truly wanted to wade into these waters again, I was honestly surprised by not only how many there were but also how many really good ones I had written. I had forgotten how much time I invested in them to create quality, thought-provoking content. I came across this from one of my later posts when I had taken the website down and then put it back up when someone asked.
I’ve noticed as I watch the incoming traffic that there are many people who come and stay a long time. They read many posts, they take many outgoing links, etc. They never say anything or leave a comment. But they are reading. Like me many years ago, I am guessing they are searching for answers to the questions they have about women in the body of Christ.
That’s from a post I haven’t gotten to yet to republish, but I had forgotten that. It was true. People would spend a long time on that website. They would come back day after day. I provided solid content for conservative, Bible-believing Christians who knew something was terribly wrong in the church but couldn’t put words to it.
I’ve currently republished about a dozen of the posts. If you’ve never read them, this is the first post in the series: A Woman’s Freedom in Christ | New Series.
To put it in perspective, that initial post is from 2010 and Caroline had just turned four. It was a lifetime ago in our ongoing saga of struggling to find a church that works for all of us. For the record, our time at the church mentioned so hopefully in that post ended badly just a relatively short time later. I was so hurt by what happened, it took me many years to even consider becoming a member of another church. If it weren’t for Caroline, I think it’s likely I might have opted out of institutional churches from that point on in my life.
It will take me some time to republish the posts. There are 124 in total, but I expect I won’t republish all of them. Most of them need a new image since the posts are 10-15 years old. Many posts are interlinked so that takes some time to sort out as well. I focused first on republishing the original series (almost done) and then adding the posts that were most popular or I think provide very important content.
If you are interested in this topic, just check that category archive each time you stop by to see which ones I’ve added since I won’t be republishing them in any particular order and I will be leaving them with their original publication date. The link is in the drop down menu under Christian Faith. I put it at the top to make it easy to find. Or you can just set a bookmark on your computer for that category page.
I hope in the days, months, and years ahead they bless another group of Christian men and women who earnestly desire to serve Jesus in a way that is faithful to the Scriptures.
Thank you for addressing this issue again! It is still a thorny issue in the church.
