    Pursuing Godly marriage and relationships as an egalitarian? (VENT)

    OK, so I found a church that I'll be attending now. What's important to know is that this church is egalitarian, like me. Thankfully, it's theologically conservative; I wouldn't grow spiritually if it was one of these "Progressive Christian" churches. I do want to grow spiritually, and ideally...

    So, I finally found a church. How it's going so far

    OK, so after years of being a nonbeliever and more years of being lukewarm, I found a church in my state to attend. See, before July 2024, I didn't own a Bible, I had no Christian friends, and while I did watch some Christian content, I did not attend a church. Even now, I struggle with sins...

    Being an "effeminate" Christman man, and wanting a masculine Christian woman--Is this normal or right?

    This is basically a "part 2" to my first post here. (shout-out to @Sif and @bèlla ) https://www.christianforums.com/threads/i-want-to-date-and-marry-but-im-an-effeminate-christian-man-what-do-i-do.8301612/#post-77709742 To summarize, I felt abnormal as a Christian man because I find...

I became suddenly severely ill on the cusp of adulthood while co-leading a mission trip in a remote area in Latin America and have been disabled for over two decades (most of those years housebound...

    Does it seem to you like the Complementarian and Patriarchal Movements are losing influence?

    I know that blogs and figures like The Transformed Wife, Mrs. Midwest, and Roosh V are still popular, and complementarianism is still popular within much of mainstream Christianity. But I've noticed that since the Josh Duggar and Doug Phillips scandals, the #MeToo movement, and many people's...

    Peace!

    We are disappointed with our congregation which has women as teachers and recently a woman has blessed with pastoral job/title. We do not know what to do, because it is hard to go away without a better option and when you have friends. But we want to please God, not people. We want to love...

    The Wesleyan Church - Women in Ministry

    That was the denom my dad was ordained in. He was very much against women doing much of anything but being slaves to their husbands. But I find it interesting (hilarious actually) that his denom was the first to ordain women into the ministry, back in the 1850s. Here is an interesting...

    What Does the Bible Say About Women Pastors?

    When I discuss women pastors in this blog, I am referring to women in pastor positions which involve teaching men in a group and/or exercising authority over the whole church, including men. This would include all Senior Pastor positions. I am not addressing women serving as a pastor over...
