On John Piper & Manhood

May 15, 2015 by Kate Wallace Nunneley

At the beginning of March one of our readers wrote in and asked this question:

“I recently watched a video regarding The Gospel Coalition’s stance on their complementarian view. In it, John Piper begins to explain that we must be able to answer children’s questions as to what it means for a boy to grow up and be a man, or for a girl to grow up into God’s model for womanhood.

When we consider gender roles, let’s be careful not to project onto God and the Bible assumptions that we have internalized from our own social history.

Why I Am Womanist & Feminist (and it has nothing to do with hating men)

September 20, 2013 by Khristi Adams

Now is not the time to blame women or consistently accuse us of complaining, ranting and raving and hating men. For many of us that is not the case at all. It’s just that it takes a consistent movement of change in language, systems, traditions etc. to reverse a culture of patriarchy.
