Here @sarahstankorb provides insightful context to @bethallisonbarr's new book & identifies her "as part of a movement of women, now, demanding to be heard." Women like @angela_denker @juleswoodson11 @ashleymeaster @AntheaButler... 2/4
Jesus and John Wayne gets a shoutout too, as "a sort of oracle revealing toxic masculinity within the evangelical movement. A year out from publication, the book spurs daily posts from believers starting to peel their faith away from hyperbolic manhood..." 3/4
This "great cloud of female witnesses," @sarahstankorb attests, is holding up "a different sort of faith." Thank you for putting this into words. 4/4
So many of us have our stories.
