@kkdumez is one of Argula's 100 "women to emerge and write." Also @sista_theology @BethMooreLPM @aimeebyrdPYW @KSPrior @bethallisonbarr God is raising up women & 500 years from now their words will still be heard. Who would you also tag in the 100?

Favorite thread of the day, right here:

@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.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

Thrilled to contribute my research to Mutuality. Argula's story encouraged me in a key moment in my life. I hope her example encourages those who wonder if their voice makes a difference.

@johnnarae I just heard from my relatives and one just got power back today the others not yet. The cell service is very limited right now 😔 Praying for all these businesses and people that are impacted.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

@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.

credit to @joyklaprade for the ship metaphor. https://t.co/3rRDXRvsEm
I'm thankful for fellow Christians who see this dynamic!

Public schools are a sinking ship

homeschoolers/private schools are a big reason for this.

For years, those with means have been chartering their own lifeboats & sailing away, leaving everyone else behind to drown.

Imagine if Christians used their privilege to help, instead.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

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.

[Christianity Today @CTmagazine]

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.”

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. https://t.co/zEQJ1qEqC0

@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.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

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.”

@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.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

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

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

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?

@strong95604 Right? Let’s be consistent here.

[Lark TheoSis @LarkTheoSis]

@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.

The AI image generator did a great job on this one

@nmassiemartin I'm so thankful for your teaching AND preaching in this course!
