"Quiet. Quiet, piggy" (talking to reporter Catherine Lucey) - Donald Trump

"Go home" (in reference to Beth Moore) - John MacArthur

In both cases, we see powerful men wanting to silence, demean, and exclude women.

With relief and joy, I'm thrilled to say I passed my oral defense in the D.Min. degree yesterday!

Some revisions are required, but graduation is in sight!!!

“I talked to my friend and he says he didn’t do it”

…. Too often, this is how churches and Christian ministries handle claims of abuse

It’s possible for a bully to shake your hand and hit someone else in the face.

Just because someone is nice to you doesn’t mean they are nice to everyone else.

You can say, but that’s not what I meant, and fair enough.

But… practically, that is what happens.

Have you ever wondered if your doubts make you unworthy?

Advent assures us they don’t. Jesus came not for the perfect, but for the weary and uncertain, offering a hope that meets us right where we are.
