Reminds of @bethallisonbarr eye-opening book,The Pastor's Wife & the similarities of the erasure, marginalization, & distortions of pastor's wives & military wives. We discovered complementarian Bible studies being taught within military networks--it needs much more attention. tinyurl.com/2tc34fw2

Best 2026 news clip. Saw just after editing a segment about the deeply biblical work of first wave Christian feminists who paved the way for women's right to vote, & led abolitionist, temperance & anti-trafficking movements, then Doug's anti-suffrage/ repeal the 19th Amendment clip. @thebulwark.com

Women are apostles in the New Apostolic Reformation. Many say NAR is egalitarian. Paula White is an apostle yet she said she submits to her husband. (Does she really?). Yet, here Lance emphasizes men as leaders of their family (character not factor). Video: tinyurl.com/2wdkjwfv

Looking forward to this! If you think Jesus and John Wayne was a hit, and crucial and groundbreaking in understanding such a time as this, well hold on! @kkdumez.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/kristind...

If you missed this by @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social be sure to read…an excellent and vital historical perspective as always. #saveact #19thamendment #womensvote open.substack.com/pub/bethalli...

Beside the obvious cringe here, it looks like it took Pastor Robert Jeffress much effort to clap for Paula. Afterall, he adamantly doesn't believe women should be preachers or leaders. Paula by the way believes it's God's design women submit to their husbands.

Former spiritual adviser to PresDTrump sexually abused then 12-yr old Cindy. Decades of her suffering trauma, & he gets 6 months. Horrific across the board. bsky.app/profile/reli...

Bet most don't know Wayne Grudem’simmense influence. In 1984 he started Christian Heritage Academy. 2005: "an 11-year-old boy in 5th grade...he raised his hand to commit his life to Christ. This commitment set the direction of his whole life. The young boy’s name was Charlie Kirk.” -Wayne Grudem

I've always been interested in signs at protests related to various issues. They are like mini scripts to what concerns Americans. We saw many signs today quoting scriptures and Jesus.

What a take on interpreting scripture 😕respected theologians would have a field day correcting the "theologies" at core of many speeches at cpac 👇 "We will never have another President like Trump and I believe god has raised him up for a time such as this, like Queen Esther. - "Franklin Graham

Christian/evangelical feminist movements, too. Silenced by backlash by evangelical patriarchy networks in 80s after rise & huge influence in church networks that challenged patriarchal theologies & abuses, MANY at work today as whistleblowers of abusers & more. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Sums it up. @julieingersoll.bsky.social has been warning for decades. She has helped us better understand the extremes of women’s submission, subjugation, & that mushroomed in evangelicalism & right into US/global political networks. @bulwarkonline www.thebulwark.com/p/douglas-wi...

If you’re not reading @julieingersoll.bsky.social on Hegseth and Wilson, you’re getting enough information. If you’re not sharing widely what she’s writing about Hegseth and Wilson, people are not learning what’s at stake for our country and the world.

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.

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.

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.

& 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...

“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.

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.
