Should Christian Women Watch Redeeming Love?

Should Christian Women Watch Redeeming Love?

Two years ago I discussed on Instagram how Christian romance, but specifically the popular book Redeeming Love, have acted as a “gateway drug” to pornography and erotica in the lives of many young women. Testimonies flooded in from women who were recommend this book by older mentors, aunts, friends, and pastor’s wives. Now that the movie is coming out January 21st, I have moved the content of that Instagram talk to a podcast episode and blog post.

Modesty & the Real Weaker “Brother” [The Women’s Issues Series]

Modesty & the Real Weaker “Brother” [The Women’s Issues Series]

Don’t cause a brother to stumble.

We’ve heard this phrase applied to modesty, but do we really know the context of Romans 14? Who is the weaker brother – the man, or the woman?
