"I was a stranger and you did not welcome me" (Matthew 25).
Two sea tragedies in one week. Both are newsworthy. In one, 5 millionaires who paid $250,000 per trip are lost. In the other, 500 refugees who paid their life savings are lost. And yet only one of these tragedies has attracted widespread global media coverage. Why? #RefugeeWeek23
Below is the just-released trailer for a new documentary about Gothard & IBLP. Except, it's not really about them. It's about the survivors of that world. It's about the long road of healing. It's about the cost of speaking out. vimeo.com/832338128
Rick is going beyond remorse, and an apology. He is now advocating for women in leadership. True remorse must be put in action. Male allies and activists are welcome!

Today is the anniversary of the murder of Oscar Romero in El Salvador. On March 24, 1980, he was killed as he served communion. Although he began as a conservative archbishop, opposed to the progressive liberation theology that was popular among those seeking to help poor…

Jesus' longest recorded conversation is...with a woman. Alone, in private. A rich, deep debate about life, theology, Messiah. She becomes the first evangelist, according to the early church. When the disciples show up, they wonder: Why is Jesus talking to a woman? (John 4:27)

My husband is a teacher & worship leader. I'm a writer. E/year when summer break starts for him, I have to figure out how to do my deep writing work with someone who is, um, loud and who likes to play the piano and sing (which I love). Lots of negotiations happening here folks.

There are a host of wicked people who use Scripture to justify their cruelty. You can flee that evil and yet still cling to the Scriptures as God’s word to us for our good. They don’t own the texts no matter how loud they scream.
@realcarissas Kids growing up in a highly controlled environment do not magically have a choice in how they portray that environment to others. I wish people would think critically about this.
@drbethgerhardt @MarlenaGraves It's a beautiful thing to see someone modeling humility.
@CarolynDupont1 @drbethgerhardt Yes indeed. I mean, it shouldn't be so rare.
@MarlenaGraves @drbethgerhardt It should not--especially among people of faith. It seems that "we see through a glass darkly" is not a popular verse.
@_PastorJeremy If you keep a class of people outside of decision-making and teaching roles, can it truly be said that you value their voices? If ultimately their opinions don't count, and ultimately they can't teach you, then do you value the voices of people who aren't white?
@_PastorJeremy Let's imagine it wasn't about women. Let's say that you said that only white people could be in leadership, but that doesn't mean that you don't care about other people's voices. You really truly value them just as much. It's just that they aren't allowed to make big decisions.
Imagine a room containing a woman, a pulpit and a sexual predator. Now imagine being more concerned with keeping the pulpit away from the woman than keeping the woman or the pulpit away from the predator.
(Gonna get pastory here for a sec) A guy named St. Irenaeus once said "the glory of God is man, fully alive." In other words: God takes joy in human thriving. God's desire is health. Wholeness. Completeness. That's true relationally, sexually, emotionally, mentally, & spiritually
Beth Moore tried. Russell Moore tried. Now, Rick Warren. Godspeed and good luck, friend.
I truly feel sorry for men who deprive their souls of learning profound spiritual truth from godly women hindered by their belief that NO WOMAN can TEACH them anything. Grateful for my grandmother, mom, wife, sister, daughter & books by sisters in Christ who've taught me so much
@ZachWLambert I am so glad that I grew up in a mainline Lutheran church where this nonsense would have been laughed out of the room (or, being Lutherans, sternly ordered to leave). Not that it would have gotten through the door.
3. Promote mutual flourishing for all people. Ephesians 5:20, the verse right before the one quoted by the sex, supper, submission teacher, says… “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” The Way of Jesus is mutual support for the purpose of mutual flourishing.
