Introduction Before I start talking about the evangelical church, I want to apologize for the abrupt hiatus. I am officially back now and will be focusing on getting back into the swing of things and making sure everything still works before doing anything super exciting. Long story short: I had finals and major projects, my health has been acting[...]
I've spent so much of my time in fear that I wouldn't be taken seriously, wouldn't be understood, or wouldn't be respected for who I am. Thank you for teaching me that I can surround myself with people who do listen to my boundaries. I've spent even more time ashamed of the thoughts and actions that I thought were unholy, ungodly, or not what I should[...]
Introduction I am so excited for today's post because this is something I've always knew, but didn't think deeply about until I heard it mentioned in a book. If you grew up in the church, then you are probably pretty familiar with the birth of Jesus. Ya know, that guy Christians just can't seem to get enough of. Yeah. Contrary to popular opinion, J[...]
Introduction So many times when we think of women in the bible, we think of sexism and discrimination. Today, I'd like to point you to an uplifting feminist in the bible, Mary Magdalene. It's one that is blatantly obvious when you read the text yourself but has often been skipped over and even changed to diminish the power and influence women had i[...]
Introduction Starting today, we are now celebrating transgender awareness week! Since I've previously written about being a queer Christian, I've decided to write about the gender side of things as this is often forgotten, even in the LGB Christian community. For this reason, I'd like to share information, resources, and, of course, the bible verse[...]
Introduction Recently, I've been hearing the phrase "God's love is fully inclusive" everywhere in the queer Christian community and I really like it. It's even a part of one of my first listings on Etsy! Look! You can buy this beauty, here. This phrase isn't only important for queer Christians, though. While it can also function as a valuable[...]
Introduction If you're new here and an abled Christian (or human), you should probably read this post, first, and listen to this episode of my podcast to get a better idea of what my chronic illnesses and disability looks like. To summarize, though, I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, an illness that makes me feel like I'm about to pa[...]
Introduction I’m not just talking about any opponent. I’m specifically talking about the opponents who don’t love, accept, acknowledge, or even care for people because of the color of their skin, sexuality, gender, religious beliefs, disabilities, cultural identity, citizenship status, or any other BS reason. In America, I’ve seen people on[...]
Introduction I have been told some pretty weird things by the church over the years of being Southern Baptist, Non-Denominational, and mentally ill. Some of these statements are things I've heard pastors say and others have specifically been said me. These lies I believed followed me for years and I'm, also, still recovering from some of them. Howe[...]
Introduction If you're just starting to learn about why we need feminism today, welcome aboard! We're so glad to have you join our little cult. Wait, don't go! I'm kidding. I promise. Someone just once told me that feminists were a crazed cult of feminazis and I decided to make a joke about it because humor definitely fixes the problem with that st[...]
