“When I grow up, I’m going to change the world.”
Her cardboard sign read something like: How would you feel if you were hungry and had a baby boy? She may have been all of 18 years old. My red-headed niece, all of eight years old, leaned forward in the back seat, exclaiming: “Oh, no! We have to help her!” It all happened so quickly. […]

In the immortal words of the Jedi-master: “Don’t try. Do.”
Reams of paper line my office floor, information that needs to be transformed into a book. A hopeful life change that looked promising is not happening. I’m still hoping to find a regular spot to serve in ministry. We are still in the same house we’ve been in since we married six years ago, though we’ve […]

What we talk about when we talk about women in church: part four
(Read parts one: “Does danger lurk in a woman near you?”, two: “What is a biblical woman?” and three: “Do you know the women of the Bible?”) This is not a trick question. But it presupposes another one. QUESTION #1: Should every woman lead? It’s been a long five years of studying God’s intentions for his […]

Seven reasons bloggers don’t blog
Admittedly, this post is highly subjective, based mainly on my personal experience. (That’s why it would be mighty keen if you’d post your reasons for not blogging in the comments below. See you there!) 1. The biggest reason I don’t blog is I don’t like to publish fluff or drivel. If I have something important […]

What are you reading—and why? (Tell us in the comments.) So here are the next four books on my list. Calvin vs. Wesley: Bringing Belief in Line with Practice by Don Thorsen Truth be told, this is on the to-read list, but the premise is highly interesting. The author is a professor at Azusa Pacific […]

What we talk about when we talk about women in church: part three
We hear sermons about the 12 disciples quite regularly. In my experience, Paul, too, seems to surface often during the Sunday morning sermon, instructing churches in the way of the gospel. Abraham was called to father a nation, Moses was called to deliver that nation, David was called—despite his sin—to lead that nation, paving the […]
