Submission Isn’t About the Paycheck
A question I often hear from Christian women is: “How can I submit to my husband when I make more money than he does?” It’s an interesting question—because it assumes submission is tied to income. I understand how we get there: traditionally, the husband is seen as the provider, and…

On Seeking Lonely Places
Ask any introvert (ahem, yours truly) and we’ll tell you; being alone rocks! Give me my office, a Ludovico Eunaudi playlist, a good latte, my laptop, and I’m good to go! Could stay there for hours being “lonely” and come away smiling, with a sad sigh that I’m once again…

Why I Stopped Reading Romance Novels
**This post contains adult content** He’s rugged and mysterious, she’s the girl who doesn’t need anyone to save her. But before she knows it, her knees are weak at the sight of him, he’s slaying beasts to win her favor, and a passionate romance ensues. There’s tension, running into each…

The Legalism Letters No.2 – Alcohol
Yep! We’re going there. A lot of Religious/Christian cultures hold the belief that drinking alcoholic beverages is wrong. Some, taking it as far as to say that Jesus turned the water into grape juice at the wedding in Cana, and that the bible says only to drink if you’re ill.…
