Legislative protections are important, but real change happens when you win people, not laws.

In that writing phase where I type out a single sentence and then check my phone, write another sentence, check my phone. I’m stuck in a loop and I can’t escape. 😭

Reminds me of the one summer all my siblings & I scrounged together every last penny we could find, saving for like the entire year, so we could buy summer passes to the local water park. We literally spent EVERY DAY there that summer. It was glorious.

But no, we didn’t do this.

if you didn't used to longingly stare for hours at cartoon maps for water parks you would never actually attend we are not the same

In my church history I've had five or six pastors. Of all of them the best service I ever heard about leadership in the church was by a female pastor who was also my 8th grade English teacher. The next was by my youth pastor who again was a woman. The men never talked about it https://twitter.com/TravelingNun/status/1390700453374140416

My complementarian church taught me that Deborah’s leadership didn’t justify women’s authority. She was merely a form of judgment due to the lack of qualified men.

Therefore, if complementarian churches are gonna be consistent, they’d let a few Deborahs take over about now.
