The abundance of posts for International Women’s Day were breathtaking! What testimonies to the fact that women were created in the image of God!

The highly strategic marketing of biblical patriarchy and complementarianism through the decades. Many GenXrs grew up not knowing anything different. Hopefully they'll hear more from theologians & scholars pushing back w/differing & sound theologies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Women’s submission "theologies" are imbedded in such networks. One family vote, no fault divorce, shun women in military...Found under-radar gender role theologies are taught in military related organizations Bible studies. @sarahposner.bsky.social @julieingersoll.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3ju7z6je

Yes, women were named "Ezers" just as God was many times in the #Bible. But the patriarchal branch loves the English translation of women in Gen as "helper"-tiny little helper, subservient helper.🙄

Still can't get over these youngster, juvenile complementarians on gender roles and wifey submission. This is a version of the Piper/Grudem script after it traveled through decades. Sigh.

"The world still doesn’t value women the way it should. But still, we are here, and our courage is not dependent on whether the government or society or the church says we have a voice." sojo.net/articles/opi...

The marketing of anti- Christian feminist scripts are most often deeply ahistorical & narrow minded. Like the arguments in a new anti-Christian feminist book by Carrie Gress that's gotten much press..hope more historians who oppose her views will offer rebuttals! juicyecumenism.com/2026/02/06/a...

1920s poster women put in their windows. Yet, due to state laws, for decades many women of color couldn't vote. We can't go backward. Take a stand for women's rights & for the heroines who led the way. Biblical patriarchy networks today are at work toward turning back the clock.

👏 "Braving the Truth: Essential Essays for Reckoning With and Reimagining Faith", treasured essays by @rachelheldevans edited by @sarahbessey.bsky.social Both helped lead a robust Christian feminist revival after a 1980s backlash against evangelical feminists! rachelheldevans.com/braving-the-...

Vast evangelical networks claim this Bible verse exempt women from preaching & leading in the church. For the many who say, "it's biblical",...."from Genesis to Revelation, women were anything but silent!"- Mimi Haddad, President of Christians for Biblical Equality

Photojournalism at its best... I've been corresponding w/this 91-yr-old photo journalist about securing rights to photos of Marabel Morgan needed for our film. He's still at work w/exhibits, writing books, etc. Love this series photos of turbulent America decades back! www.jplaffont.com/exhibitions/

Reflecting on President Carter's 2018 speech at Liberty Uni at 25:00 -- that one of the largest global challenges is the abuse & subjugation of women & girls. Right before that he said he thought it was that a handful held the world's wealth. Hand in hand they go. youtu.be/25PFvjRV9BM?...

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

⚠️ Bet Trump’s (concerning) NBC interview pre-Superbowl passed by many: TL: What’s one thing you can do, really, to help Americans find common ground? DT: "...we’re working on — the Save America Act, which is gonna secure up our voting. I think people would like to do it." bsky.app/profile/juli...

Powerful & gut wrenching 🔎 🇺🇲 ✝️ "I just walked out of a movie called “The Testament of Ann Lee.” Lee was the founder of the American Shakers,...The Shakers were known for their ecstatic worship (hence the name), their egalitarianism and pacifism,..." @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social tinyurl.com/53d6yudb

⚠️"Texas A&M University’s move last week to close its women’s and gender studies program is highlighting the longstanding vulnerabilities of a field that grew out of the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s and ’70s and raising questions about its future." www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

& patriarchy 👉"I believe the crisis in the US church has almost nothing to do w/being liberal or conservative; it has everything to do w/giving up on the faith & settling for a common, generic US identity that is part patriotism, part consumerism, part violence, & part affluence." Walter Bruggemann

It's enough to compare the way Jesus related to women w/male led church history & mainstream evangelical networks now, that claim women are "ontologically inferior". This wasn’t due to a theological predisposition but rather "the writings of Plato and Aristotle dominated..." tinyurl.com/9nb5xta9

In light of patriarchal Christians who claim to be protectors of women & children...I’ve been shocked by videos of extreme roughness & violence toward women during 🧊 raids who didn't seem a threat. My Christian neighbor says they deserve it. Do they? @@rickpidcock substack.com/@rickpidcock...

"If his denomination is new to you, @julieingersoll.bsky.social has you covered. Listen to find out more about how this movement wants our country to be governed by biblical law...their religion should dictate every facet of life and society, their extreme patriarchy,..." bsky.app/profile/sara...

“People often get upset when you teach them what is in the Bible rather than what they presume is in the Bible.” Theologian N.T. Wright

Vast networks of evangelicals believe God bars women from teaching men scripture, but this article clears that up with lens on Marcella who taught Jerome -- and never knew Henrietta Mears taught Billy Graham & others scripture.👇 open.substack.com/pub/bobbygil...

"The Gospels are intended to help us become like Jesus. That means...racism has to go. Sexism has to go. Classism has to go. Ableism has to go. Xenophobia has to go. One by one, these demons make their exits, leaving you alone with Jesus." @bobbygilles.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bobbygil...

Be inspired by this awesome list of women in the Bible by @margmowczko.bsky.social ! The film term "rack focus" is when the lens shifts focus from one person in a shot, blurs them out, & puts in focus another person. The Bible comes alive with the focus on the women! margmowczko.com/every-woman-...

“Everyone else can go with hate, but I’m not going there.” Dr. Martin Luther King

NOTE: disruption in Minnesota/church is a a Southern Baptist church. Men lead/sexism/racism rooted in SBC 16mil strong w/huge influence. Note too: both unusual in-church disrupters, & SBC's prez & leaders remarks: “Disrupting a church’s worship service to make a political point is disgraceful. 🔎

“The inferiority of women is man-made.” -Helen Keller

We will continue to give voice to the scholars, historians and theologians who have resurrected women in the Bible and throughout Christian history who have been erased, minimized, twisted, and transformed into males!

Christians for Biblical Equality has moved mountains over decades. Be inspired by headway made in evangelical networks. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE, reviews their efforts in 2025 ETS conference on women & Scripture, “sponsored by Evangelicals and Women—now a section of ETS. zurl.co/1MXm6

February release! So many miss Rachel's voice challenging toxic evangelical patriarchal networks. She brought hope & forged communities who joined her in her efforts. In an era we know she'd be an unrelenting presence & guiding light, this looks like a thought-provoking read.

@baptizingfeminism.bsky.social made this inspiring #StarterPack and I am not going to miss out. Do what I did and #FollowAll. Boop boop 💃🏻

Partridge’s proposal is lazy, provocative, & politically illiterate. Repealing the 19th Amendment would require a two-thirds supermajority vote in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the state delegations...a political impossibility. www.christianpost.com/voices/no-fe...

Words from leading male theologians who understand the powerful, prophetic message of the Magnificat/Mary's Song, & the significant role Mary plays as the favored one chosen by God to give birth to Jesus. @scotmcknight.bsky.social @religionprof.bsky.social @bobbygilles.bsky.social #Bonhoeffer

@CBSnews these sound like shallow theological "debates" About if US needs God?! Woah. Interfaith views? Ethnically diverse voices,..scholars, theologians, etc? Has Feminism failed women? Allie Beth Stuckey vs Liz Plank? Secular? First wave? Evangelical/Christian feminism? tinyurl.com/y8hbcka3

Excellent article by @nijaykgupta.bsky.social in light of Mary, the Magnificat, that includes quotes that speak powerfully to God's call for women in the church to teach. www.cbeinternational.org/resource/tea...

For those we know who have left biblical patriarchal/complementarian churches that subjugate women, or MAGA/Christian nationalist churches that have no resemblanceto Jesus, but who still long for a faith that matters, Beyond Deconstruction looks like a helpful resource. issuu.com/eerdmans/doc...

👏Is this true?"TheoBro Ted...when you walk him through Bible passages that show women did preach and exercise authority in scripture...Ted shakes his head and says, “Look.... This whole ‘women preacher’ thing is just a new #feminist idea. @bobbygilles.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/bobbygil...

@beliefnet @foxnews how about profiling faithful, reputable male/female theologians & scholars who lead the deeply biblical movement of Christian feminism in the footsteps of the amazing first wave feminists after your coverage of Carrie Gress's, Something Wicked? www.foxnews.com/media/schola...

🤔!! Any thoughts? 👉 "One author is warning against feminism, calling it the new “megachurch.” Author Carrie Gress has authored 11 books, with her upcoming book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused With Christianity,...mimicking aspects of Christianity.” www.beliefnet.com/columnists/n...

Wow! More powerful words & support for final editing from Dr. Debra Warner. Many of our funders are leaders who understand abuse dynamics in patriarchal systems. As a male trauma expert, she also knows these systems impact women, men & children. Donate here:👇 baptizingfeminism.com/sponsors-don...

This never ceases to amaze me people are still asking if she was a prostitute centuries after Pope Gregory confused the Marys. A 2018Times of Israel article also was titled "Long Maligned, Mary Magdalene now seen as Stalwart Disciple". 👀 #tellherstory www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/people...

This never ceases to amaze me it took "so long" to realize this. What Bible were they reading? It's all clear in the Bible! #tellherstory www.timesofisrael.com/long-maligne...

Alert egalitarian & Christian feminist Texans; Somehow gender role theologies - tenents of complementarianism and even biblical patriarchy - will be imbedded in these chapters named “Club America” in Texas high schools. www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/t...

Christmas season brings to focus the bold & faithful spirit of Mary & her key role in Christianity. Mary's song, the Magnificat, hardly the focus of sermons, fortells the essence of Jesus' work & ministry spread through decades by women followers of Jesus. #tellherstory @religionprof.bsky.social

We're grateful for this encouraging endorsement from Tashana Morgan, Pastor of AME Church in Waco,Texas! Pastor Morgan has pastored several AME churches, & has served as a Chaplain at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, and at the Center for Spirituality Health at Mount Sinai. Thank you Tashana!

Of course, gender role theologies are imbedded in GOP. He "failed to listen to them on major policy issues... for Mr. Johnson — an evangelical Christian who has often voiced firm views about the distinct roles men and women should play in society.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

During advent season I've been reflecting on the heroines in the Bible, & what Mimi Haddad said in our film interview; “from Genesis to Revelation women in the were anything but silent.” @scotmcknight.bsky.social shares a key resource in this crucial dialogue. open.substack.com/pub/scotmckn...
