#2 Anne is featured in our documentary, one of the progressive feminists who worked alongside pioneer evangelical feminist, Letha Dawson Scanzoni. But don't be misled. The conservative evangelical feminist movement was going strong, they had more funding and steam for their egalitarian theologies.

This is Anne, an evangelical feminist who helped lead a robust movement in the 70s-80s until the backlash. She had a Ph.D. & a good teaching job. After the birth of their baby, John took a leave of absence to share childcare, an example of a Christian marriage in 1984!

Is there a way we can their social media accounts to support them?

And in which Jemar and I come to the conclusion that MAGA will embrace pedophilia in order to keep white supremacy.

We recorded on Thursday - and that's exactly what seems to be happening. They will make Maxwell a "victim" to protect Trump.

Apprectiate how all your hands are on the pulse! Had it bookmarked, will listen soon.

And their media doing so already Newsmax has started referring to Ghislaine Maxwell as a “victim.” Deeply concerned for the real victims. And "Christian" MAGA has been doing this for years.

The Submission of Women and the Flourishing of the Church (Part 1) A couple of weeks ago, I did something I rarely do.

When an Instagram reel states, “women must submit”… “This particular reel sucked me in... Two pastors and their wives were elaborating on the sinfulness of inauthentic submission... when done biblically, the submission of wives... is to be authentically joyful." open.substack.com/pub/toddandt...

Even when their concerns have been shaped by white supremacist theology, we start with respect... We read Scripture with reverence—and with courage. We expose interpretations that bind Black, Brown, and poor people to systems that do not serve them. -Renita Weems

They Say It's Biblical. I Say It's A Lie. What Conservative Christiantiy Calls Truth--and Why We Must Push Back.

As I researched white evangelical complementarian leaders & networks, I learned they were targeting Black churches & influencern & later a concerning complicity by some Black leaders platforming their gender role “theologies”. Important words by Renita J. Weems:

WATCH: Stephen Colbert, Lifelong Catholic, on Hearing a Female Priest Celebrate the Eucharist Much like Pope Francis, the great love Stephen Colbert has for the Catholic Church does not preclude a thoughtful, creative examination of Catholic tradition.

"In an interview with Salt and Light, Colbert shared a powerful story about the important influence of female priests." sojo.net/articles/wat...

100 years ago, the Social Gospel movement pushed to improve workers’ lives – but also to promote its vision of Christian America How has white Christian nationalism changed since the Gilded Age? A religion scholar compares the Social Gospel with the Christian right today.

"women gaining the right to vote in 1920 meant Social Gospel leaders expanded Protestants’ power at the ballot box. Many Social Gospel leaders embraced women’s suffrage because women were already leading supporters for their causes:For example, Frances Willard..." theconversation.com/100-years-ag...

Thanks for your POV, surely many variables on why lack of reading, above was only some of my personal observations that public school teens I knew read less books than the HS kids. I'd be curious the reasons you think people chose not to read, & in general very interested re: Diana's question.

Great question. Absolutely related. Also, as a parent, noticed vast difference in love of learning/reading in homeschooling (not Christian) vs brief public schooling son had uninspiring experiences re: teaching reading, arts, limited encouragenent of critical thinking, learning geared to testing...

YouTube video by Baptizing Feminism CHRISTIAN FEMINISTS PROTEST JOHN MACARTHURS CHURCH & RISE OF EVANGELICAL PATRIARCHY July 15, 2025

Many who grieve the death of revered pastor John MacArthur flood social media. Yet, we're reminded of others who protested his patriarchal teachings, some allegedly harmful to women. We filmed Christian feminists protesting at his So CAL church. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpwa...

Died: John MacArthur, Reformed Expositor with Worldwide Reach—and Tainted Legacy John MacArthur, a megachurch pastor, author, & broadcaster revered as a premier expositor but with a tainted legacy, has died. He was 86.

2. While evangelicals revered John MacArthur, others protested. We filmed two Christian feminists protesting his church in So CAL; he believed women are to submit to all men. But Eileen was told to submit to David despite “his admitted abuse of her & her children.”

John MacArthur met his own definition of a false prophet – Baptist News Global MacArthur’s fundamental understanding of reality was about his own ascension to power, and it absolutely pervaded everything.

Praise by evangelicals who revered John MacArthur flood social media but @rickpidcock.bsky.social refuses to submit. "How should we respond when someone who uses theology to promote ignorant, misogynistic,...authoritarianism dies?" @baptistnews.com baptistnews.com/article/john...

Beth Moore on What Happens When Women Stop Shrinking Themselves in Church - RELEVANT Beth Moore never planned on becoming a symbol of spiritual defiance. She just wanted to teach the Bible. But somewhere along the way — between sold-out

So much of this is inspiring, just wondering if Beth would also consider a woman's calling to be a a lead pastor or preacher as part of this all?
