Feminine Wisdom in the Christian Canon #1 | Women are the Bearers of Good News
It has been a lovely winter thus far, and I’ve enjoyed carving a little extra reading time into my mornings since our early winter rhythm is a sometimes slower than the rest of the year. At least for the past several months, this is true. As I often do, I’ve been pondering about ways to…
