Regular Guest on Moody Radio
I’m excited to share some news with you. I have been invited to be a regular guest on Moody Radio’s morning show in Chicago. I’ll be sharing about issues and topics that are important to women. These topics will vary from current events and news to general interest and issues…
New Role at The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
Yesterday it was announced that I am joining Dr. Russell Moore’s team as the consultant for women’s initiatives for the ERLC. I am honored to be among five newly announced staff members, you can read more about that here. Dr. Moore addresses serious, delicate, and often complicated issues and topics affecting today’s society, church, and government with great thoughtfulness and grace. I have the utmost respect for him…
HomeLife Magazine Culture Column
You’ve probably heard the tune and if you’re like me, you only really know one line: “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” I am unaware of the message of the entire song, but I do know that when I look out at the landscape of our culture I can begin to think, it’s the end of the world as we know it. If we set our gaze on the world we will surely be discouraged. But when we look through the lens of the Bible we can begin to understand, if even slightly, why things are this way. We can begin to develop a biblical worldview regarding culture and society.
In 2014 Lifeway’s HomeLife Magazine will begin featuring a culture column written by me. The short column will focus on the issues and topics that face our culture today such as tragedies and our response, racial reconciliation, abortion, sex, marriage, friendship and more. I’m praying that the column would encourage the HomeLife readers and spark new conversations…
A New Role at CBMW
Over the past few months I have been working behind the scenes with Owen Strachan, Brandon Smith and Courtney Reissig to develop a new Women’s Channel for the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. I’m excited to be the lead Editor of the Channel with Courtney as the assistant Editor. Courtney has been a joy and blessing to get to work with already and we haven’t even launched! We are having a blast working together!
Black, Reformed, Female: An Update
aOver the past few months I have had the pleasure to engage the Christian community on the topic of race and church life. It’s been a humbling experience and an emotional time. I’ve cried tears of joy knowing that women are being affected and encouraged by my words, pastors are eager to learn more and are rallying behind me, and organizations such as Desiring God and The Gospel Coalition are taking an active role in helping inform those who might be encouraged to know the black female perspective. I’ve been fearful knowing that the topic of race (and racism) can be very difficult for some to face, about putting my heart out on display for the world to see, and a fear of God as I pray through what I write. Overall, I thank God that one post has been received so well…bl
