While there are many practical benefits of Byrd's work, I believe its effort to make solidarity in suffering a joint gender effort is among the most valuable.
Book Review: Why Can't We Be Friends? (Danielle Pollock)
I hope this book is able to help many people see male-female friendships as the God-given gift that they are.
Book Review: Why Can't We Be Friends? (Joshua Torrey)
The church is uniquely those called by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ to be united with one another; but through over-sexualization, it has allowed its members to be severed one from another. By grounding her thesis in the humanity and unity found in Jesus Christ, Byrd provides the stable blocks for further discussion and application of deeper fellowship among the members of Christ's body.
Music Review: Both Ways
It's the album that I will forever remember as the pre-Peter album that encouraged me to live life to the fullest with my (currently only) four children. It's become an album that will forever be a specific moment in my life.
Music Review: Let The Trap Say Amen
There is no reason to flirt with secular music. If you gonna do it, just do it. Skip Lecrae.
Friendships that Look Forward
Far from merely stating that male and female relationships are permissible, this view for the future intimates that these friendships are essential to the vitality of the church and her mission.
Book Review: Moby-Dick
I have finally read Moby-Dick and I can finally say that "yes" this books is the epitome of my literary taste.
Viewing One Another Holistically
One general premise of the book is that the church unwittingly has adopted secular perspectives on how men and women relate to each other and erred in discouraging cross-gender relationships.

Book Review: Fahrenheit 451
In conclusion, Fahrenheit 451 is one of those books that I will eagerly place in front of my kids. I look forward to having discussions about its content and themes.
Music Review: Elephant Heart
This won’t be my record of the year, but I will listen to it many more times before the year is out. I don’t think we’ve seen the best Elizabeth Gundersen has to offer, and I look forward to additional singles and releases.
Music Review: Ye
Is this going to be your favorite 23 minutes of Kanye? No. Is this going to have hits that you’ll be jamming to for the next 10 years? Probably not.
Book Review: East of Eden
My own pessimism frowned at the optimism that litters the eventual climax of Steinbeck's great novel.
notes from neverland
I hoped it would be easier this time - it's not. It's hard to trust; I wish it wasn't. Pray for me, I'll pray for you.
Book Review: This Side of Paradise
There are so many high points that reflect Fitzgerald's unique style that I'm confident I'll return to it soon.
Book Review: The House of Mirth
For those with patience and a taste for intellectually stimulating pages of descriptive writing, The House of Mirth is delightful.
Why Compare the BHI and the KKK?
I do not know if Dr. White is a racist or not, but I do know that with a platform as far-reaching as his, I pray he uses his words and accusations more carefully.
We Would See Jesus
Would you see Jesus? You may well have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but he is most certainly there with you. The day we will be able to see him with our own eyes and touch the hem of his garment with our own hands cannot come soon enough for me.
Guilty Before God of Negligence
We may farther learn from this passage, that although magistrates may not be solicited for succor, they are accounted guilty before God of negligence, if they do not, of their own accord, succor those who stand in need of their interference.
