Here you’ll find articles about the mutuality and equality of men and women in Christian marriage and ministry, plus Bible studies and articles about our new life in Jesus. Take a look around.

Would you like to support my ministry of encouraging mutuality and equality between men and women in the church and in marriage?
Here’s a 500-word biblical defence for Christian egalitarianism/ mutualism. Plus a link to a podcast I did with James Pruch on “Mutuality in the Garden.”
Was Martha initially missing in Papyrus 66, the oldest text of John’s Gospel? Is Mary of Bethany in John 11-12 really Mary Magdalene?
In this article, I provide an overview of how Paul uses the word kephalē (“head”) in his letters, and I give a brief note on each verse that contains the word.
Here are some first-century Greek texts that use the word kephalē (“head”). They show how the word was used in Paul’s day.
In this post, I discuss Paul’s instructions to husbands in Colossians 3:19. I look at this verse within the broader context of Colossians and I explore what “bitter” means.
Paul’s words to wives in Colossians 3:18 contains a phrase that doesn’t occur elsewhere in the New Testament. What does it mean to submit “as is fitting in the Lord”?
I'm happy to advocate for women to be Priscas, Phoebes, prophets.
Paul doesn't identify any individual as a church pastor or elder. The terms he *does* use for ministers, he applies to men and women.
And Prisca seems to be a good example of a pastor-elder.

Women used by God in Scripture to declare truth:
- Esther
- Ruth
- Deborah
- All the Mary's
- Priscilla
- Phoebe
- Philip's daughters
Women who served in the office of Pastor-elder:
-
The role is about following God's design for function. Not an equality issue.

Calvin on 1 Tim. 2:13;
“Yet the reason that Paul assigns, that woman was second in the order of creation, appears not to be a very strong argument in favor of her subjection; for John the Baptist was before Christ in the order of time, and yet was greatly inferior in rank.”

Am pondering Mary for the second week in a row, as I prepare to teach on The Magnificat Sunday. Thank you for this @MargMowczko!
