If @bethallisonbarr is the historian (& @kkdumez is the ruiner of evangelical heroes), @aimeebyrdPYW is the 🔥🔥🔥. Just full of well crafted mic drop moments. I'm also a sucker for large metaphors that tie everything together. Yellow wallpaper as a multi-level metaphor was🌶️1/
So paying tribute to large metaphors that tie everything together... here's my favorite hot takes from Recovering From Biblical Manhood and Womanhood... said as mafia boss threats.
Enjoy! Or not. Either way... 2/

So...I've been meaning to tweet about @bethallisonbarr's Making of Biblical Womanhood. It was the end of a long overdue journey that began in earnest w/ @scotmcknight's Blue Parakeet (excellent!)
Coming from a complementarian context, ministry was where dissonance began 1/
In a context where triage coordinator was a better title than pastor; everyone did everything. If you could do it--go help the hurting! Counsel, preach, teach, feed, cope, pray, intervene, rescue. Lines between ministering & preaching were silly. Bring light to the dark! 2/

#WCT Online church: our privilege is showing. Some ppl are spiritually starving. We're used to a feast. Now we're forced into lower quality food. But its still food ya'll. Unreached are starving spiritually w/ no church. ❤️your online church and be grateful for what you have? 1/
In your online areas, be intentional with community. Call, email, pray together, zoom small groups--whatever it takes. In you IRL areas, do the same. Flex between online and IRL when needed (like...during a Covid wave) Ppl will flex w/ you. 2/
