Him: You know it’s not just because she’s a woman. It’s because she has some liberal theology leanings.
Me: Any more than her predecessor?
Him: Probably not.

Imagine a marriage free from the "crushing weight of gendered performance." The Gospel doesn't just offer hope; it offers freedom—freedom to serve, lead, and love in partnership, united under the single, perfect authority of King Jesus.

What if the biblical pattern for marriage isn't hierarchy, but profound mutuality and partnership? From the very beginning of creation to the radical equality of the New Creation in Christ, Scripture points to a collaborative dance under the sole leadership of Jesus.

Who is truly the Head of your home? When we relegate Jesus to a "substitute leader" only for when a husband "fails," we miss the profound truth that He is the only true and perfect Head at all times.

Healthy relationships are built on trust, not tactics. When Christian counsel suggests "prompting" a spouse into a role, does it risk becoming spiritual manipulation?

The weight of expectation can be crushing, especially when it comes to spiritual leadership defined by rigid roles. Are Christian men being set up for guilt and inadequacy by unbiblical standards?

I had to write something:
“The gospel gives this couple freedom from the crushing weight of gendered performance, inviting them instead into a loving, dynamic partnership under the single, perfect authority of King Jesus.”

Bluesky made it so difficult to get in that I got disgusted and gave up. But now I'm back, with news of my new book. It's about the power of preaching, and it's called *By The Word Worked*--a takeoff on the doctrine of "Ex opere operandi," by the work worked (as in baptism and the eucharist)

As a preaching professor, I analyze the context, use of the Bible, form, structure, content, tone, and delivery of sermons. I believe we can learn things about effective preaching from Bishop Budde’s address at the prayer service for the inauguration. 3/19

Someone: But the so called “bishop” didn’t clearly explain the gospel from the pulpit to a non-Christian president when she had the chance to. Shame!
Me: Her role in that moment was to pray for unity during the prayer service. 🤷♀️

It’s clear many have never heard the prophetic word spoken by a woman - I recommend some supplementary reading - the words ascribed to Hannah and Mary.

Scripture is clear. Women are elders in the NT church. Treat them as mothers. Mothers and Fathers work and make decisions together to help nourish and equip the family in the service of God. 1 Tim 5 and Titus 2
