Babywearing for Women . . . and Baby Finn
May 21st, 2010 by Jonalyn
Last weekend I spoke to Biola University on our recent book Coffee Shop Conversations and then in the evening on the “Myths of Gender.” For this latter talk, Dale and I shared the stage and preached about how men and women need one another.
This idea has been unpopular for hundreds (maybe even thousands) of years. [...]

What Makes Good Mothers?
February 19th, 2010 by Jonalyn
I’m going to do something rather risky. Immediately before I give birth to our first son I going to get all philosophical and opinionated and public about what it means to be a good mother. In a few years (or a few months) I want to compare my B.C. (Before Children) ideas with my ideas [...]

What Makes a Woman True?
January 14th, 2009 by Jonalyn
This post is devoted to introducing a new initiative to you called the True Woman Manifesto, written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss (think radio “Revive our Hearts”) . While I do not believe the manifesto adequately represents all true women, I do think you ought to be aware of its purpose and power. Much of [...]

The Economy and Dancing with Dale
December 17th, 2008 by Jonalyn
Men and women are facing the economic recession differently. Where men are hurting, women are finding their jobs holding, opportunities expanding. Last week, The Boston Globe’s Robert Gavin wrote that the recession is predominately male (see “Losing Jobs in Inequal Numbers“). The job lost might be white or blue collar. Over 1 [...]

When Perfection is Un-Human
November 21st, 2008 by Jonalyn
There is a raging new interest in vampires this weekend, at least for those inclined to go see the new movie, Twilight, Stephenie Meyer’s story that in book form sold 1.3 million. These ‘paranormal romances’ or ‘urban fantasies’ spin around human females falling in love with supernatural beings (vampires, gods, fairies, werewolves) .
