Christian culture has too often offered women a push toward contentment that can numb us to our own desires, without offering the tools to discern whether those desires could be good or Holy-Spirit-inspired.
~ Katelyn Beaty
If mainstream culture thinks gender roles are unimportant, church culture makes them too important.
When we have to make a list of exceptions to apply a model of womanhood, it is good to ask whether that model holds much meaning.
