There, I've Said It Again

I'm egalitarian.

There, I've said it. My confession.

I haven't always been, but studying the issue more over the past five years led to that conclusion. But for the past couple of years, I didn't say anything. Maybe it will keep me from ministering to some people if I said it publically, I thought.

That's a selfish reason in the end.

Here we are, approaching the beginning of a new month.

(Some of us are still in mourning from the end of the Olympics.)

But we all know what the beginning of a new month means.

Glimpses!

This month, I have an interview with, story of, and art by Makoto Fujimura. I also have a blurb on worshipping creatively in your Church. You can sign up on the sidebar.

Also, ready for the big announcement?

(No, Mom, I'm not pregnant.)

In honor of Women's History Month, for this series of women in ministry and ministering to women (which is broader than women's ministry), I'm titling each one with important women in history.

Because of my music background, I'm prophesying that most will be musicians. But who knows?

Incarnating Christ's Love in Art and Life

 

 

 

 

In Your Story

God calls all believers to a heroic adventure. Some of us are reluctant, some flawed, some inexperienced. God desires to work in and through us. Topics include studies on biblical stories and characters and how we respond to the call in our story.

In Beauty

Created in the image of God, we have the capacity to create. Art can be used to reflect our Creator and our relationship with Him. Topics look at how art and theology intersect and how we can use art to incarnate Christ's truth.

As the Church

As the Body of Christ, the Church represents Jesus on earth and continues his work. Topics include the purpose of the Church in the world and the purpose of the church in your neighborhood.

 

 

"She is gifted. God will use her. She made me understand again God's loving purpose in discipline."

Dr. Timothy Warren, Professor of Pastoral Ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary

"Heather Goodman loves the Lord with all her heart, and this shows beautifully in her teaching. Her whimsical spirit refreshes her listeners and captures their hearts. She has a passion to encourage all people to let Christ live and love through them. Her artistic side inspires imagination and brings to life the love of God in a new way. Heather is also doctrinally sound, and I enjoyed learning from her."

Judith Graham, Women's Director, Frisco Bible Church

Sometimes Misfits Belong

Tagged:  •    •    •  
In September 2006, I introduced the concept about being a misfit. I told you that Rudolph was one of my favorite Christmas shows because I could relate.
I'm a misfit.
A dentist elf, a toy bird who swims instead of flies, a prospector searching for a peppermint mine, a reindeer with a shiny, red nose.
Why don't I fit it in?
