Women Who Ministered in the Bible
If Christians were meant to be against women in ministry, we would have to denounce and ignore all of the women who were examples throughout the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments give clear examples for us (and this list is not exhaustive):
Lydia | Women in the Bible
The fact that where Paul expected to find a place of worship, he found a group of women, suggests that there were not enough Jewish men in Philippi to establish a synagogue (as women would not have been allowed in Judaism to establish one themselves).
Phoebe & Junia | Women in the Bible
We’re going to talk about two more women who are mentioned by Paul in Romans 16. Phoebe the Deacon, and Junia the Apostle.
Priscilla | Women in the Bible
Bold in her faith, Priscilla and Aquila had been cast out of Rome for their beliefs. Paul wrote that not only were they “coworkers in Christ Jesus” but that hey had “risked their own necks for his life” (Rm 16:3-4), at a time when persecution was a very present reality.
JAEL | Women in the Bible
In Judges 4-5, we find Jael, picking up where we left Deborah. Jael, a Kenite woman, is met by Sisera, the general of the Canaanite army that had just been defeated, swept away by a storm.

Politics + Hope

Christian Community and Covid-19
Maybe you’re thinking things seem a little scary right now. Maybe you are getting email after email from businesses and companies that are sharing their plans for functioning in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so you can’t think of much else. Maybe you hear the word pandemic and you want to crawl intoContinue reading “Christian Community and Covid-19”
Why Are Christians So Afraid of Politics?
In my OT Theology course, we’ve been talking about the Kingdom of God in Isaiah, which talks about the establishment of God’s reign over the whole earth, meaning the rebuilding and restoration of Israel, spiritual renewal, and being giving prominence among the nations. It points toward a kingdom of peace like the return of Eden.Continue reading “Why Are Christians So Afraid of Politics?”
