Some Bible passages don’t just confuse us, they sting. When Leviticus talks about menstruation and childbirth, a lot of women quietly wonder: Why would God call my normal body “unclean”? Why would worship feel off-limits because of bleeding, recovery, or postpartum realities? We na…

If your mental picture of Old Testament women is “invisible and powerless,” it may be built more from modern debates than from the ancient world the Bible actually describes. I grew up with a complementarian framework that treated authority as a gender-based umbrella, but digging i…

We walk through the deeper reasons we can no longer hold complementarianism, focusing on Bible reading frameworks, power, and the new-covenant identity of believers. We explain why historical context, Genesis, Jesus’ teaching on authority, and adoption to sonship reshape how we thi…

(TW: Frank discussions of exploitation, sexual abuse, rape, and assault)
The news feels like a gut punch, and yet the patterns are old: powerful people exploit the vulnerable, and too many institutions fall silent. We sit down with sexual health educator and Sex Ed Reclaimed founde…

The room is cold, the kingdom colder. David can’t keep warm, and the palace drafts Abishag the Shunammite to lie beside him—an ancient remedy that exposes a deeper crisis: a fading king, a fragile succession, and a court willing to spend a woman’s future to buy a few degrees of hea…
