Bad Seminarians: The Podcast Engaging Black Women of Faith

Last updated on: November 8, 2021 at 6:22 pm By Kelley Mathews

It takes more than a talkative person with opinions to create a podcast worth listening to. Podcast hosts must know their material and their audience, invest in quality equipment, and take time to prepare for interviews. The good ones don’t overload listeners with too much information but manage to engage and inform with each episode. The best ones make you laugh, too. Meet a duo who hit all the right notes in their first season of the Bad Seminarians Podcast.... Read more

God’s Small But Pervasive Voice

Last updated on: November 5, 2021 at 8:53 pm By Kelley Mathews

Welcome Andy Moyes, a student at Dallas Theological Seminary. I think you’ll appreciate hearing how he heard God’s voice regarding his future. I’ve only driven this dusty road twice before. I had to stop at the one-pump gas station to get directions. Now I see the stoic lines of granite on the hillside. The August sun bakes the earth, but a lively breeze makes it almost pleasant. It takes a bit of searching but I find my destination. Who knew... Read more

What We Can Learn from Rahab

Last updated on: December 20, 2023 at 11:11 am By Kelley Mathews

Rahab of Jericho is famously infamous for her occupation. How did a madam journey from the doomed walls of a pagan city to the sanctified tents of Israel’s leading family? One part drama, another part adventure, Rahab’s resurrection has much to teach us today. Setting the Stage After the sons of Jacob settled in Egypt with their lost-now-found, right-hand-to-Pharoah brother, Joseph (Genesis 48–50), their descendants multiplied and flourished. When the book of Exodus opens, however, “a new Pharoah arose who... Read more

The Moral Dilemmas of Judah and Tamar

Last updated on: December 20, 2023 at 11:05 am By Kelley Mathews

Advent approaches and, with it, my thoughts turn to the lineage of Christ. Who were those significant people listed in Matthew 1? And why were five women, specifically, mentioned by name? This post is the first in a series exploring the stories of those women—and the men paired with them. The story of Judah and Tamar notoriously confounds preachers—how does Genesis 38 fit within the context of Joseph’s saga, chapters 37–50, and how can a story full of sexual sin... Read more

Beautiful Feet: A Poem

What Our Brothers Are Writing about Women in Church Leadership

Last updated on: October 5, 2021 at 4:30 pm By Kelley Mathews

In my previous posts, here and here, I listed a number of books I’ve used to research my own work on the subject of women in ministry. Those books were all authored by women, and I promised a follow-up with resources authored by men. You’ll find many, many male authors studying and writing about what the Bible has to say regarding women, but I found this selected bibliography helpful. I think you will too. Women in the Earliest Churches... Read more

More Books on Women in the Church

Last updated on: October 2, 2021 at 6:37 am By Kelley Mathews

As I plow through a load of edits on our manuscript answering forty questions on women in church leadership, I’m reminded on every page of our extensive bibliography. We read or consulted over 200 books, articles, and blog posts! If the topic of women in church leadership interests you, these resources (some shared in an earlier post) will benefit your own research.

The SBC Executive Committee Betrays Its Mandate

Last updated on: September 22, 2021 at 10:39 am By Kelley Mathews

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is in trouble. The question is: is that good or bad? During the SBC’s Annual Meeting in June 2021, the messengers passed several motions directing their leadership to act. Foremost among those resolutions was a directive to the Executive Committee (EC): they were not to oversee the investigation of its own actions related to sexual abuse cases. A task force would be created to hire a third-party investigative firm, and the EC would waive their... Read more

Children’s Author Glenys Nellist Releases New Illustrated Bible

Last updated on: September 20, 2021 at 10:37 am By Kelley Mathews

Another children’s Bible? Yes! I Wonder bursts with color, creativity, and questions that invite children to think about the story they just read. Veteran children’s author Glenys Nellist, creator of two popular series, Love Letters from God and Snuggle Time, included 30 Bible stories equally divided between the Old and New Testaments. Children will meet the usual dominant characters such as Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, David—but also some less-often highlighted people such as Esau, Miriam, Rahab, Ruth,... Read more
