Rather, it’s a way to convey interpersonal sensitivity — interest in other people’s perspectives — and that’s why it’s powerful." https://t.co/uYOW0zq2r3

"In 29, studies, women...had a tendency to use more “tentative language” than men. But that language doesn’t reflect a lack of assertiveness or conviction...

@LucyCrabKC Yes! LA is a tough city in some ways but there are lots of things to experience and you get to meet all sorts of different people. A very engaging place.

If Siri can answer your Bible study question, it’s not a good question.

Don’t get me wrong—I LOVE a Sunday sermon (possibly more than the next guy). And, when we gather for Bible study, we have the opportunity to use other teaching tools to help massage the truth into our community.

What do yours look like?

Hey Bible teachers and sem profs—have you ever considered why you structure your teaching the way you do?

If you are the type of person who uses words like "pedagogy," this post is for you—

Classrooms look very different for kids today than they did in my day (and I'm not yet old enough to use the phrase "in my day"). By the time my kids graduate from high school, the only context in which they will have ever heard a 40 minute lecture will be church on Sunday.

@aimeebyrdPYW I took a class called "Analyzing Moral Issues" that was taught by Dallas Willard...in the days before I had a clue who he was. It's still one of the most impactful courses I've taken to date.

My favorite was that Jesus addresses Martha directly in the temple. He asks a woman a question in a space where women were usually expected to be silent. And his tone honors her full participation and intellect—he asks as if she will know the answer. Just beautiful.

I don’t mean to downplay the importance of strong role models for young girls but leading armies and defying super-villains isn’t a complete picture of bravery. https://t.co/cBymGmCvrg

@emschumacher My family in TX was all about chili con queso and tamales.

Bravery leads different people down different roads. It might look one way in your circumstances and another for a friend, but bravery is always a step of faith on the path of wisdom.

[Meredith Storrs @meredith_storrs]

Tell me some stories of bravery in the ordinary. https://t.co/HT7Amja4ju

[Meredith Storrs @meredith_storrs]

When I think of bravery, I think about an 8th grader who stayed joyfully committed to her faith when peers and even teachers thought her beliefs were bigoted.
