A graduate of TEDS, a contributor at bioethics.com blog, a spokesperson on behalf of human dignity, a consultant on women's issues at CBHD, an educator in theology and worldview......it can feel lonely as a woman in this world - but it just so happens I lack all emotion.
Engaging and cultivating culture is not man's work, though I think most women believe this to be the case. There are few women working within the marketplace of ideas, representing a solid Christian worldview without compromise or shame. It's no wonder it has always felt like a man's world. I'm ok with that though. What I'm not ok with is the sentimentality among women in the church who live within their eschatology in such a way that they forget that they were created to truly live in this world.
Engaging ideas is a first step toward the tranformation of lives. I'm thankful for the women I know who haven't caved to the event-driven subculture of women's ministry, but are out there making a difference in authentic ways. They've captivated my attention and we need to develop more of them in and for the next generation. Though not an exhaustive list, the following are honored by Flash Point for their service and commitment to the causes they work so hard to fight. We honor every woman who has stepped up to this service.
