Game. Set. Match.
“Game. Set. Match.”
by Damainion Ewell
An expecting mother and father are in the delivery room. As the snow drifts and the blustery wind chills the air, a warming calm wards off the frost. An evening of solidarity is upon the family. Pacing to and fro across the room is a man longing for the arrival of his first born child. His chest is puffed out with innocent pride, as he wipes beads of sweat off his wife’s forehead. He watches absorbedly and excruciatingly the travail of birthing a miracle.

One Lady Pastor’s Perspective
One Lady Pastor’s Perspective
by Pastor Natalie A. Francisco, Ed. D.
What are the implications of being a female pastor in the 21st century? To be quite honest, both the best and the worst prevail at the same time. Incredible joys juxtaposed by the incredulous jeers of others who even in this day and time assert that women are to be silent in the church and prohibit them from preaching or teaching behind the sacred desk. This causes both delight and despair in the minds and hearts of women who only desire to heed and obey God’s call upon their lives. Such is my dilemma as a co-pastor who happens to be female.
