How to Talk About Abortion in Church

February 15, 2019

Abortion. Does the word stir up emotions? Does it cause you unease, even anger? You’re not alone. Say “abortion” in a public setting, and undoubtedly the reaction will be strong and visceral. Say it in the pulpit? The idea is enough to make even the most prophetic among us quake and quiver. Our discomfort with discussing abortion, Read More

Releasing Resolutions

January 29, 2019

“Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (NRSV) Isn’t January over yet? I started this month with so much zeal. I’d carefully chosen my word for the year Read More

My Theme for 2019: Release

January 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

The new year is deliciously pristine, isn’t it? I tend to approach the month of January the way I enter my car after one of those rare occasions when I’ve vacuumed up all the leaves, Goldfish crackers, and various detritus from the floor mats: I’m delighted by the newness, and I’m anxious about making it dirty again.  Right now many of us Read More

Unexpected Divine Encounters

October 26, 2018

In celebration of completing my manuscript for Women Rise Up, to be published with the FAR press in early 2019, I want to share this excerpt from my chapter on Mary Magdalene.  The Spirit of God moves at unexpected times and places. When I spot a single red bloom among the barren trees in wintertime. When I watch my daughter takes a bite out Read More

Longing for (Dis)Connection

September 12, 2018

As I type this post, I have another browser window open to track the path of Hurricane Florence due to make landfall in my area sometime later this week. Though I now live a few hours inland, I grew up in a coastal town, so I know how unpredictable storms like these can be. It’s entirely possible that we will get a bit of rain and wind and nothing Read More

Claim Your Expertise

August 23, 2018

Years ago I attended a women’s workshop hosted by The OpEd Project, an organization dedicated to diversifying voices in the media. The first exercise was for each of us to state our particular area of expertise to the group. I remember the anxiety I felt as I attempted  to articulate what felt truthful and authentic to claim as an area of personal Read More

The Beauty of Scheduling Unscheduled Time

August 2, 2018

If you’re prone to overwhelm like me, this pattern might sound familiar to you. It starts when the to-do list starts to feel never-ending. Then my ability to sort and prioritize goes out the window. Suddenly the urge to reorganize my cluttered desk is on par with my need to meet a writing deadline. When *everything* seems both urgent and important, Read More

See, Hear, and Believe Women’s Pain

July 18, 2018

Rachel Fassler was in so much pain that she couldn’t remain still long enough for the emergency room nurses to take her blood pressure. After hours of being overlooked, dismissed, and misdiagnosed (she was initially treated for kidney stones) by two male doctors, Fassler was finally treated appropriately by a third physician, a woman, and rushed Read More

Creating Space for Wisdom Sharing

June 25, 2018

Along with spending more time in silence, another spiritual practice I’m cultivating is creating space for the wisdom of the room to emerge. At a basic level this involves talking less and listening more. Keeping quiet is a discipline I’ve had to learn. I was the type of kid who raised my hand to speak in class at every opportunity.  One day in Read More
