I’ve been contemplating the phenomenon ever since we launched our podcast, which is directed towards women, on how law/gospel theology impacts everyday life, is that the majority of the post likes and shares are coming from men.

Granted, most of these men are people I’ve done ministry with. They’re pastors, or serve the church in some capacity. They’re sharing my writing and podcasts a lot. Not because they’re promoting a woman, but because we are sharing the same message, and they want the message out.

But there are only a fraction of women sharing. We are new. We are just starting out. But when we mention law/gospel theology, maybe some women think it won’t be practical, or it will be too heavy.

Getting sound doctrine into the hands of women is a unique ministry, and I want pastors out there to hear me out on this. There are unique challenges, and it’s not that women are dumb. It’s that most of them already have too much on their plates. /4

They flock to things that claim to help with “balance” and it must be “practical” and “real life” because
We. Don’t. Have. Time. For. Theoretical.

And for too many, theology is understood as theoretical—academic, superfluous.

The solution is that the publishing industry has made the majority of books for women to be how-to guides, self-help guides, balancing help.

All of the help they offer is temporary.

The message of the gospel starts now, and lasts forever. It is superior.

To all the men who have supported me, and have my back, and cheer me on: (I’m looking at you @1517) you mean more to me than you know.

To all the women out there: may I earn your trust by giving you the best I can and never wasting your time. You are seen, and you are not alone.
