Monday: Should We Listen to Church Failure Porn (Subscribers)
I’ll be responding to Liam Thatcher’s genuine concerns about the dangers of indulging in church failure porn in relation to the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast. Liam makes some good points, but I think Mike Cosper’s podcast is doing far more good than anything else. As I’ll say: “I think Mike Cosper’s podcast is cathartic for the people involved and a cautionary tale for those who are tempted to aspire to the throne of evangelical sub-culture.”

Tuesday: Audio Post - Mind the Tap (Subscribers)
I’m experimenting with an audio post, so there will be an 8 minute voice audio of me talking about NT background, using hospitality, fellowship, and “religion” as examples.

Wednesday: Romans 16 and Women Leaders in the Church (Free sign-ups)
Here I list some great things to read about Romans 16 and why it supports the view about the role of women in church leadership

Friday: Women as Icons of Christ - Part 4 (Free Sign Ups)
Returning to my review of William Witt’s case for female ordination.
