Adulthood and the church that rejects it
Frustrated, exhausted, I realized: I would never count as an adult in my church system. Free at last, I’m embracing the adulthood God works in his own
Don’t be afraid to look
Trusting the Spirit to speak, I explored the testimony of the entire New Testament. Scripture after Scripture showed a picture of the Body of Christ in which women participate fully and freely in every aspect of the kingdom, and men and women stand shoulder to shoulder, serving the Lord. I also learned why many people who love the Word do not know that – why I did not see it for so long.
Waylaid by God – and his good news for women
What do you do when the Lord answers what you had not asked? This is where it began, my journey with God into his view of women and the church.
What about women, Lord?
Two weeks after I asked readers to pray with me for wisdom and strength for a final push, my updated e-book is live!

Beth Moore and LifeWay: The ploy
When the "threat alarm" goes off in an abusive church system, the response is orchestrated and brutal. But it's church: Appearances must be kept up. People loyal to the system confuse while pretending to clarify, cover-up while pretending to address, attack while seeming to answer, put-down while pretending to help.
Dear Beth Moore and LifeWay: My plea
Behind the scenes at Living Proof Live, I'd found a celebrity culture - not the "one anothering" of the church of the living God. So with all my heart, I cried out for change.
Behind the scenes at Living Proof Live
This is what happened when I served as onsite leader for a Beth Moore Living Proof Live event. It’s a peek into celebrity culture, the exploitation and manipulation of women and abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention.
The Civil War, the South and the church
Abuse had begun to open my eyes to evils in my church culture. Then, God took me on a pilgrimage into the past, to show me what is happening now.
Listen to the whole Body
It's crucial that we humbly receive what the Lord Jesus wants to pour into our lives through others who love him but look and think differently from us.
