This is a guest post written by Jean Kamps. Last week, my husband and I experienced a huge triumph for our personal marital equality. He let me open and hold a door for him. Not a big deal?

Why Am I Here?
This is a guest post written by Jean Kamps. “Why am I here? What is the purpose of me?” These are normal questions we expect a lot of teens to ask, and I certainly did.

Role of Women in the Church Part I: The Question
Is the role of women in the church a secondary issue? I read an article recently that rejected the idea that the role of women is a secondary issue for the church.
