My brothers, I’m tired.
I’m tired of being pushed aside and pushed down. I’m tired of hearing the lie that my contributions and opinions aren’t strong enough or deeply rooted in Scripture enough, simply because I’m a woman. I’m tired of those lies coming from you. I study Scripture just like you. I read the commentaries and I read primary documents and I pray and seek counsel, just like you. I’m quite capable of theological discussion. Just because I come to a different conclusion, doesn’t mean I’m “theologically unsound” or “unbiblical.” Please stop calling me that.
This is just a snippet of a guest post that I wrote for my friend, Mason Slater. You can read the rest of the letter over at his place.
Great post, Nish! I shared it with my husband who is currently in seminary and he has a class taught by Carolyn Custis James’ husband. Small world.
Thank you for your words!
I love this post! This is exactly why I call myself a recovering Pentacostal that’s too unchurched to be a church girl
