I first became familiar with Ed Cyzewski through the fabulous Women in Ministry series he hosted throughout 2012, making space on his blog to share guest posts by women in various forms of ministry.  His commitment to proactively share the stories of women, and his insistence on making his blog a safe place for them, […]

Today’s Equally Yoked Post comes courtesy of one of my all-time favorite bloggers, Sarah Bessey. Her first book, Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to the Kingdom of God Waiting on the Other Side of our Church’s Gender Debates, will be published in 2013 by Howard Books (an imprint of Simon & Schuster). This gorgeous post took my breath away when I […]

I was struck by his ability to express his points clearly and simply, without sacrificing the personal elements that make his story so compelling.

Today’s Equally Yoked post is from Morgan Guyton, a pastor at Burke United Methodist Church in Burke, Virginia. He shares a theological and sociological argument against hierarchy in Christian relationships. Few verses in the Bible have been more damaging historically to women in Western civilization than Ephesians 5:22 — “Wives, submit to your husbands as […]

We’re kicking off the Equally Yoked series with Kathy Harris’s reflection on 25 years of shared life and ministry with her husband, John. There’s an amazing amount of wisdom here, and a heaping helping of Aussie common sense. Enjoy! My husband and I came from very different family backgrounds, but both entered our marriage with […]
