Site Improvements and What to Look For This Fall

This site, mostly launched in preparation for the release of The Pentecostal Gender Paradox, is now just over a year old, and this is its 50th post!


Over the last year I've released chapter excerpts, book launch highlights, resources for church leaders, and a few posts that received wider attention such as this one.


As the blog library is built up, it was time to better organize for easier navigation. Two main improvements have been made:


1) The main blog page, which contains the most recent posts, now has the ability to load all posts from all categories (in chronological order). After seeing the 15 most recent posts, which load automatically, simply press "Load More Posts" to load another 15.


2) The five main categories (church leadership, theology, writing & education, personal & devotional, gender paradox) can now easily be separately viewed or filtered by clicking the name of the category at the top of the blog page.


So if you only want to view church leadership posts, you can easily do so.


Several other changes and improvements have been made, so go ahead and look around!


Coming in the Fall and Winter, I look forward to sharing more posts, including on preaching, leadership, and more gender paradox thoughts in lead up to the release of the paperback version in May!


Plus, look for more info soon on the release of a new publication in early 2025.


Thanks for reading, sharing, and supporting as we work together to build a more egalitarian church! Please stop by frequently!
