Have you ever looked up and suddenly wondered, how on earth did I get to where I am at this moment? How has it happened that I am doing what I am doing right now? I had that moment on a high school stage. It all started with Liz. Liz was a whirlwind of a girl. She was …
Another Scenic Overlook from enGendered, from a story given to help us feel the asymmetry of origin. Can you Bible readers guess who they are before the end? She was from the high country and she was a prize. Many had secretly desired her, but didn’t dare go beyond that. They would need to go through her formidable father, …
A mom asked me this question because a debate broke out in her church group about the new movie opening today. Director Bill Condon revealed that the live-action reboot would end with a “nice, exclusively gay moment.” Moms who have been eagerly anticipating the release of this film prior to learning about the homosexual content are now discussing whether or …
The percentage of people experiencing inner alienation is making a massive climb before our very eyes. Far more children than ever before, encouraged by parents and administrators, are feeling like they are trapped in the wrong body. Is anybody seeing what this rapid rise implies?

As I’ve been saying, Aimee Byrd, aka the Housewife Theologian, in a book review of enGendered on the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals website, raises some good questions, which I have tried to address here. But Ms. Byrd’s most serious concern is over whether I have erred in finding the deep meaning of our genders in the revealed acts of …
“You want to go to heaven, don’t you?…You need to be heterosexual.” Who actually talks like that? Certainly no one who works with same-sex attracted (SSA) people rejecting the gay identity. But so opens the film billed as “the true story” of Michael Glatze, ardent gay activist turned intergendered married Christian pastor. In the scene, the converted Glatze (played by …
Eyes that see all that I can be Hair that flows down to my need Ears that find the faintest cry of mine Hands that bind me when I bleed Your love reminds me of one that I dream of Free flowing grace from above I can see through your eyes perfect care undisguised A glimpse of His heart …
Aimee Byrd, aka the Housewife Theologian, gave my book a review in 2017 on the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals website. I must say, Ms. Byrd asks good questions that deserve answers. I responded to some concerns she raised in a previous post (Part 1), and continue that walk in the woods here, hopefully helping us through some thickets. One …
Aimee Byrd, aka Housewife Theologian, read my book and gave it a thoughtful review in a 2017 column on the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals website.
