"As I move forward in my calling, I long for the church to treat women the same way Jesus treated women, and it starts with our theology. There is no place for sexism in the kingdom of God."
Thank you, Karen, for not giving up when you were told "you should probably just leave the church."
Being told, 'you are too wounded to teach." Whew. I am sorry for all the ways these "leaders" have treated you, attempted to silence and diminish you.
And thank you for the Taylor Swift quote. Timely indeed.
Dear God, May Your Holy Spirit breathe a fresh wind of Your Love to awaken all, first, who claim to follow You (Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, to teach us THE TRUTH of Your Love for all of Your Creation. Then to the rest of Your Creation to be prepare them to teach us Your Ways that we don’t understand yet. Together-In-Faith! AMEN, Make IT So!!!

" I have had what I can only describe as a burning in my soul to talk about Jesus."
Thanks be to God. What a gift. May you feel the freedom to shout from the rafters.
Great blog, Karen. I am glad you are finding agency. I am sorry for my part in one of those churches in the past.
“Power. This explained much of the pain and grief I have experienced in church as a woman.”
Thank you for putting this so succinctly Karen.
WOW!!! AMEN!!!
THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
