The Housewife Theologian

The secularization thesis helps us let go of our nearly idolatrous obsession with America in particular and with the west in general, as something that belongs to us that we must win back by another revival, great awakening, or political crusade. It can cause anxiety, but it can also help relieve...

The Karis channel for The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood posted an article of mine this week. It is a fun description of theological fitness. Here is a small excerpt from the article's belly: My memories are of my mom and dad lifting weights together in the exercise room. I remember one...

I dug this article up that I wrote almost two years ago because I was about to write another just like it: Grocery shopping takes a lot of discernment these days—at least for those of us who want to avoid a heart attack by 54. There are certain treasures we are told search for: antioxidants,...

I thought I'd repost this article I wrote almost two years ago...kind of needed to read it again myself, since my mornings are still like a game show. Sometimes I wonder what in the heck my kids are going to remember about me when they grow up. Are they going to remember how I tried to always point...

I’ve got some more exciting news—I just signed my contract for a second book with P&R. Theological Fitness is going to be awesome. It is a book about perseverance, about how our aptitude in the Word of God is key in the exhortations to run the race for the prize. The book is based on a verse...

This is the essence, I believe, of a question that a commenter left on my last article . He asked, “Do you believe it is okay for a woman to think and write about theology, given she will also be read by men such as myself? If so, why is not allowed for a woman to preach?” I will start with the...

I had the pleasure of talking with Camden Bucey, Nancy Guthrie, and Melissa Kruger on Christ the Center about my book, Housewife Theologian . I am being brave (or foolish) by providing the link for you guys before I've listened myself. Matt and I have a couple of hours on the road today and I'm...

Kevin Johnson & James White, What's With the Dudes at the Door (Bethany House, 1998)---A book I reccomended on the podcast today. You can get this book for like a penny now on Amazon. My husband and I used it over ten years ago to teach the youth group at our old church about cults. It...
