@MBurtwrites @kkramermcginnis Check out these replies and dates! I knew I said this out loud somewhere along the way! I am SO excited for The Myth of Good Christian Parenting to come to the world. I feel like I manifested your book, lol, thank you for doing the work!

@aaronjhann @AlethiaWrites The high control parenting model is absolutely a piece of this whole puzzle. Someone needs to do for parenting what @sheilagregoire did for marriage-Research all the popular parenting books and resources to help us detangle the helpful advice from what was abusive.

@jonpyle It's never in the damage, it's the lack of substantive repair. Bandaids don't fix bullet holes.

The church needs to reckon with our bad boyfriend status. We gotta start to see it coming. Or we’ll end up sad and alone.

But in many people’s experience, the church is a bad boyfriend. We do little to love them and care for them, but do anything we can to KEEP them. This dynamic is sadly all too familiar to women.

Prayer request: my husband is one of 2 remote employees for a company based out of Asheville, NC. Out of 45 employees only 5 responded to check in. Obviously work is the last on the priority list but we are def starting to get worried. Please pray for their safety.

@wfyoungblood For sure. But it’s not up to the schools. It’s up to lawmakers to create common sense gun control. Schools have enough to try and deal with on show string budgets. They can’t afford to become max security prisons too.

Got be honest—school shootings really shake my belief in the public school’s capacity to keep kids safe. Nobody wants to get that call or text—so, I don’t know. There’s nuance to this discussion.

Christians- Stop Abandoning Public Schools. The comments on this article show how American Christians justify chartering their own lifeboats while those around them drown instead of investing in systems that could lift up a whole community.

This was a helpful book I read when we decided to keep our kids in public schools. It is our duty and our kids can thrive. We are not sending them to the wolves. amazon.com/Going-Public-C…

Public school is like strength training for our children's faith. “Let them wrestle with worldly counternarratives to God’s truth while they’re still under your care.” christianitytoday.com/2024/09/public…

@brmorris @c_pezzulo Yes, when a POC gave this explanation of the passage it was the first time I’d ever heard it explained that way and it immediately made more sense. Then you start to wonder, why has no one, in my 20 years of church, ever explained it that way. And you realize that says a lot.

Sometimes I envision Paul watching all the women being excluded from serving in positions of authority and just shaking his head saying, “That’s not what I meant.” larktheosis.com/2024/09/05/har…

@aaronjhann The work for my website is mostly auto-ethnographic at the moment. I’m trying to make this kind of scholarship assessable for lay people so they can see what my questions were. My goal is to mark signposts along the way.

@LarkTheoSis I look forward to reading your further studies and comparing that to my work in John. It will be helpful to trace that broader arc.

“Pastor is a verb, not a title.” This reminded me of my recent study of Jesus’ commands to Peter to “shepherd my sheep.” The *only* title John uses for Christians is “follower,” ie disciple/apprentice. John is all about the verbs, and men and women do the verbs equally. 1/4

Since I am fluent in complementarian, let me translate: A female pastor is a director. A woman preaching a sermon is “teaching a lesson” if she’s in a classroom, or “sharing a testimony” if she’s behind a pulpit. Is this just semantic gymnastics? larktheosis.com/2024/08/29/doe…

@CarlaPyle2 It’s very instructive to try and find the scripture references for something only to realize there aren’t any 🤔🤷‍♀️

@LarkTheoSis I had this conversation recently with a ministry team, I referred to the director of children’s ministry at a local church as Pastor … it brought us to the discussion of what is the difference in what she does and what a pastor is- we couldn’t find one

@aaronjhann Reversals have a big role in the narrative arc of scripture. My next post or two will touch on that. It does seem like it’s part of the bigger picture.

But worth considering. Maybe Peter being characterized as the bride of the Song suggests a way of reading John 21:15-17 in which the original audience was open to Jesus’ command also applying to women. Lots more I could say re that, but thanks for the prompt @LarkTheoSis! 4/4
