Eu tinha uns 25 anos e morava em San Diego. Juntei-me a algumas pessoas de uma igreja próxima e fui a uma parada do Orgulho para distribuir água, dar abraços e segurar cartazes que diziam “Lamentamos que a igreja não tenha te amado da maneira que Jesus amaria” (ou algo parecido). De repente...

Não levo uma vida superpública, mas também não sou excessivamente reservada. O John e eu brincamos dizendo que, se minha boca não disser, meu rosto vai dizer. E neste novo mundo da comunicação — telas, redes sociais, etc. — se minha boca e meu rosto estão dizendo, mas não é o suficiente...

Sifting, church. A great sifting is taking place in our ranks. Destructive ideologies are infiltrating the church. Culturally reinforced Christianity is, for the most part, a thing of the past. (Which I’m actually kinda okay with. It’s about time that the only people...

Nothing summarizes our discussion more today than the famous scene from Kindergarten Cop where a little boy respectfully raises his hand to speak and waits to be called upon. His words of wisdom for the class that he so ardently and patiently waited to share? “Boys...

In our previous blog, we introduced you to the Genderbread curriculum, a teaching guide that tells kids as young as kindergarten how to think of sex and gender as a really confusing, multi-variable continuum which are mostly unrelated to one another. While I want to...

Forget the muffin man. Do you know the Genderbread Person? If not, you need to—and especially if you have kids. The Genderbread Person is now a commonly used craft for teaching kids (at least those young enough to be interested in anthropomorphic gingerbread cookies)...

O John e eu fomos à Feira Estadual de Iowa neste fim de semana. (Meu marido adora todas as comidas fritas. As calorias na feira não contam, certo?) Entre as paradas que tínhamos programado, queríamos ver uma banda que se anunciava como uma mistura de Stomp com a cappella. Parece legal, né? Nós...

A internet está em polvorosa com o anúncio de Joshua Harris de que ele e sua esposa estão se separando E de que ele não é mais cristão. Caso você tenha perdido toda a febre do livro *I Kissed Dating Goodbye* no final dos anos 1990, deixe-me resumir: Joshua Harris era um proeminente...

Well, here we are again—pride month. There are few topics that are more emotionally charged these days than everything surrounding sexuality and gender. Due to the immense sensitivity, discussing these topics requires nuance and finesse. We cannot back down from God’s...

Okay, so this blog has been a long time coming. When writing the Marxism chapter in the first Mama Bear Apologetics book, I promised to publish the list of communist goals, and I failed to do so. But I just received another email reminding me of my promise, so better...

In January, I wrote an article for CrossExamined.org titled “Yes, women need apologetics, but more importantly, apologetics need women.” In it, I describe six main attributes that women bring to the table when it comes to apologetics. Today, I was reminded of one...

In my previous post, I partially answered the question, “Why did God create the tree in the first place?” This question is a big one for little minds to wrap themselves around. For a child, creating the tree in the first place sounds like God was just asking for...

Há algumas semanas, as crianças do 3º ao 5º ano da nossa igreja estavam aprendendo sobre a história da criação contada no Gênesis, e fui convidado a participar do processo de planejamento para ajudar a esclarecer equívocos científicos comuns que as crianças encontrarão à medida que forem crescendo. (por exemplo: “A ciência pode refutar...

As Mama Bear apologists, one of our greatest pleasures is seeing parachurch organizations recognize the need for youth apologetics training. For anyone unfamiliar with my personal journey, our head pastor did two series when I was in 7th grade that changed my life:...

I saw Wonder Woman for the second time this week, and loved it both times. I loved the story. I loved the cinematography. It was well-crafted and well-executed. I loved the pro-woman message. It wasn’t the modern feminist message; it was a classic feminist message. It...

The idea of being a mother, but not having children sounds odd to some people, and yet I believe it is a painful reality that plagues more women than we realize. There are a lot of ways a woman can end up as a childless mom. The most obvious is, of course, the woman...
