Yeah. God calls one to be the best of oneself, to help in the way one can, not to do fuck-all or nudge everyone into being one singular type of woman.

God wants one to express oneself and to mold one's body into what it is meant to be, not to look what others deem "proper", or let a man take care of it all for oneself.

Biblical Womanhood =/= Trad Wife Bullshit

Young Christian girls, remember that the Proverbs 31 woman is a business owner. She makes and sells clothes. She bought a farm with her own money. She's intelligent enough to do her business WELL. The average working mother is much closer to the Proverbs 31 woman than these wealthy trad wife influencers.

Biblical womanhood is not about being docile or worshipping men. It's not about this creepy obsession with submission. It's about being intelligent, doing whatever needs to be done for yourself and your family. Following God's will. Deborah led an army. Judith murdered a King to save her people. Esther is the one who must intervene to save her people.

And to see Catholic women parroting this bullshit? When even our own Saints weren't these cutesy little trad life girls. God told St. Hidegard Von Bingin to preach. Imagine if St. Joan of Arc responded to God's call with "Bu-But I'm just a cute coqeutte girl 🎀". St. Teresa of Avila reformed and created the Discalced Carmelites. Even St. Maria Goretti, a child, fought to the death to protect her dignity and autonomy. It was women who spread the word of Jesus, who spread the word of His resurrection.

Jesus was born of a woman, Mary and God. No human male was involved in His birth. Never forget the importance of that. Christ protected women who committed mortal sins. He told men to gauge out their eyes if they can't respect a woman's dignity. He showed himself to a woman first. The late Pope Francis himself called St. Mary Magdelene the Apostle to the Apostles.

Never allow anyone to weaponize your faith against you. God does not view you as a helpmate. God has nothing but respect and reverence for women's power. Never ever ever let someone tell you that biblical womanhood is about being weak and dependent or being the most "pure" or the most feminine. Biblical womanhood is about strength, nobility, and love for God at the core of every action.

ive posted about this before and i will again, over and over again. you cannot call yourself a Christian and stand idly by while there are multiple genocides, occupations, wars and coups happening in the world. im talking about Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Myanmar, Tigray, Haiti, Hawai'i, and more

please, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, get out there and do something. do anything. do all that youre able to do. protest, boycott, donate, spread the word, educate your friends and family, stay up to date on current events, and always speak up. do as our Saviour would do and stand up for those in need. please, my friends, stay on the right side of history

The fact that my most controversial posts can all be boiled down to “everyone is equal in the eyes of God and we should respect others” is wild. Like, I don’t believe hell is real but you want to get into a theological argument about the equality thing?

Hero of the Year 2025

I'm calling it early - I doubt anyone will beat The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde

(I sure hope I've addressed her correctly)

For the most stunning act of bravery, class, integrity, and speaking truth to power that has graced the USA in far too long.

Not a single shake in her voice as she spoke directly to one of the most vengeful, spiteful, and (unfortunately) powerful people on the planet, while also receiving glares of hate and outrage from the despicable VP and his wife.

It's not the first time she's stood up for what is right in defiance of trump's actions, but while many may speak out on it, there have been scarcely any with the backbone to follow through on the opportunity to do it to his face, and especially on live television. She had her moment, and she didn't waste it.

May she be the inspiration we all take forward with us into the turbulent times ahead.

Tumblr user, look at me. Your problems with organized religion are not solved by harassing random religious people on the internet.

sometimes sanctification is taking little baby steps while God holds your hand and nudges you in the right direction. and sometimes you can only stand by and watch while the Holy Spirit takes a 10000 psi pressure washer and absolutely blasts your insides

fuck ai art and fuck ai "Christian" art God didn't give you hands to type in meaningless prompts he gave you hands to CREATE. Jesus was a carpenter, be like Jesus. Make things.

If Jesus thought tax collectors (evil degenerates) were worthy of salvation, i think gay people will be more than okay

Maybe we’ll get to see the first American pope in history be the first pope to excommunicate the US vice president

Sometimes I think about how arguably one of the major themes in the New Testament is to listen and believe women.

The first act of the New Testament is believing Mary when she explains the virgin birth.

Women were trusted to preach the good news that Jesus rose from the dead.

The woman caught in ‘adultery’ (which some scholars believe was non-consensual) was spared.

The woman at the well is arguably the first person to go out of preach in the name of Jesus.

All this to say: Women are meant to be listened to. They are meant to preach. They are meant to be equal, not subordinate.

I love churches that are progressive in their political views, yet traditional in their methods of running a service and prayer.

Much better than backwards, conservative views and also strobe lights.
