If you've ever felt like the traditional path of faith you're on is a grand setup for a huge letdown, Femmevangelical is the book for you. One day you wake up, and the old patterns of belief and habits of thought fit the person you've become like clothes you've outgrown. You long for a new way of being, a new mode of inhabiting your faith, a new map to find this God, who looks and feels and sounds and acts so very unlike the old fire-breathing, finger-wagging God of your evangelical days. The questions pile up and you wonder, "What comes next? Is any of this worth saving? How do I build a new framework for my faith?" If you have ever asked these questions, if you have ever felt unmoored and unsure of everything except that you can't go back to the way things were before, consider this book fresh manna in the wilderness. Rev. Jennifer Crumpton, author of the popular blog Femmevangelical, takes us on a journey to find the good news in the gospel of Jesus that encourages us to seek a different reality of equality, freedom, and wholeness. These stories and meditations - mixed with theological exploration and a closer look at church history - are dedicated to those who have searched for themselves in the Greater Story and been forced to take on an ill-fitting and soul-killing role to be included. It is a companion for anyone who seeks a Christian devotional book not written to prove a religious ideology or uphold an institution, but to prove and uphold our unique experiences, potential, and worth. Femmevangelical supports the risks, hope, and faith it takes to follow our instincts, create change, and find the God we know exists beyond what we've been taught; and to commit our lives to creating the world in which we were truly made to live.
