We often seem to want people who have suffered terrible things to just “get over it.” They cannot. Evil has a real impact and does real damage.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Those in the SBC who think I no longer should have anything to say about the SBC profoundly underestimate the power of love. I’d served southern Baptist women for 40 years by the time I left. And when I left, I left directly on their behalf because it became disturbingly clear to me that the SBC as an entity was more interested in protecting shepherds than the sheep entrusted to their care. When protecting the pulpit from women becomes a far greater priority than protecting women (& children) from an abusive pulpit, something is wrong. Which has been the greater problem: women trying to become your senior pastors or pastors misusing or abusing women?

My biggest concern is that what happened with the CRT witch-hunt will happen now in regard to women. The overreach resulted in numerous pastors, teachers and professors dropping the immensely important biblical teachings against racism rather than risk being accused of CRT. I heard from pastors at that time who preached against racism and already had emails Monday morning from people in their congregation accusing them of CRT. Because the difference wasn’t clarified, they lumped all of it into the one category. The aim became: shut every mouth to shut some mouths.

I pled for SBC seminary presidents and leaders to please clarify to pastors and teachers and, thereby, to congregations & students what qualified as CRT and what indeed was the proper and deeply rooted and needed biblical approach to anti-gospel racism.

Crickets.

I see the same potential here. I have never once fought for SBC women to take over church pulpits. I have esteemed and supported the role of male senior pastors. My own pastors would tell you that. If you think I was in the SBC trying to lead a revolution against men, you are clearly not familiar with my materials. What I believed then and believe now is that God has called both men and women to serve their churches and communities and proclaim the gospel. He has poured out his Holy Spirit on men AND on women, calling them to broadcast the good news.

You have beaten the drum loudly about what women in SBC churches cannot do. So, what CAN they do? Clarity here is essential. What is a woman to do who has been gifted BY GOD to teach the Bible, especially if her church has moved to the community group model and there is no Sunday school to teach?

Here is what I see on the horizon. If you leave these matters involving women so vague that it becomes about pastoral roles/actions rather than the title of pastor, it will shift to the subjective rather than objective. I wish I was naïve enough to think that wasn’t the point to some of these leaders but, sadly, I’m not.

What if that senior pastor doesn’t allow a woman on the prayer team to pray over people at the end of the service because he deems she is acting pastorally? What if the pastor sees that a woman’s Sunday school class of WOMEN is getting, in his estimation, a little too big? Can he just decide she acting pastorally and remove her from the role? Can she counsel people with her God-given wisdom and knowledge or would she be acting pastorally? The examples could go on and on. And, of course, I realize many would not use their positions to disesteem women but surely you and I both know countless others would. God only knows how many unqualified, unloving, mean-spirited men are in pastoral positions but the obsession remains the women.

I have no desire to see SBC women leave the denomination. I loved and flourished in that denomination. I want them to be able to flourish in their spiritual gifts. I want them to be esteemed in their serving inside and outside their homes. I want them to be able to serve Jesus and proclaim his glorious gospel.

I know I’m going to get hit here. That’s fine. But you should know I will fight for them to the death. Because I love them. And, yes, whether they love me or not.

We're excited to have Blair Linne join us at this year's conference! She'll be speaking on how anxiety can deepen our dependence on God. In a Christian culture that often equates peace with the absence of struggle, those who battle anxiety can feel isolated or spiritually deficient. Yet anxiety can actually be an invitation to deeper intimacy with Christ.

We're excited to have Rebekah Hannah join us at this year's conference as a breakout session speaker! We'll explore what it means to be human and live according to God's beautiful, wise design. Join us virtually or in Virginia Beach! Register by June 16 before the price increases at https://t.co/SMGlDhBCwN.

Breakout Session 1: Parents often want a script for talking to their kids about difficult things, but what they need first is a vision. Drawing from Talking to Kids About Hard Things by Rebekah Hannah and Michael Keller, this session will equip biblical counselors and ministry leaders to help parents understand the theological “why” behind honest, gospel-rooted conversations with children. When parents see hard conversations as part of God's beautiful design for human flourishing, everything changes—not just what they say, but who they are becoming alongside their kids.

Breakout Session 2: Identity in Christ answers the question: Who am I? It is unchanging and declarative: the stunning truth of what God has said about us in the gospel. But without confidence in Christ, we tend to use that identity as a self-help tool or a way to feel better about ourselves rather than as a reason to worship. This session will consider how confidence is what allows us to wear our identity the way Christ intended. It is the lived, functional trust that moves identity from a concept we affirm to a reality we inhabit.

We're glad to have Jonathan Leeman join us as a breakout session speaker at the 2026 CCEF National Conference! Join us virtually or in person as we explore the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at https://t.co/SMGlDhBCwN.

About this session: God designed human beings to rule—to author life under his authority. Yet since Genesis 3, authority has become one of the most contested gifts we bear, used as often to wound as to bless. This session will offer a biblical framework for what good authority looks like: It creates rather than steals, submits rather than stands unaccountable, seeks wisdom, disciplines without crushing, and bears costs rather than pushing them downward. We'll consider what this means for counselors caring for those harmed by authority and those called to exercise it.

Kyle Johnston is joining us at the 2026 National Conference! Read more about his breakout session on a theology of disability.

We hope you join us, whether virtually or in person, as we consider the theme of Fully Human: Life as God Designed. Register by June 16 before the price increases at https://t.co/SMGlDhBCwN.

About this session: Our view of people with disabilities reveals our deeper beliefs about what it means to be human. Unfortunately, many of us have unrecognised theological errors that emerge when we engage people with disabilities. These false beliefs create pain, confusion, and isolation—preventing us from including and caring for those impacted by disability. In this session, we will work to untangle ourselves from these false beliefs by exploring how the Bible gives us a theology of disability. Being renewed by God’s Word, our hope is to become wiser in our efforts to love, include, and care for people with disabilities.

@MitchellSheten1 🤣 Hubbies response gets me every time! "Am I not better than....." Maybe it inspired the song, don't worry, be happy. I love the Bible and how it's relatable to all. It portrays humans in all their ways so accurately. How would I handle it?I'd need to ask more questions.
