March is Women’s History Month. Too often, in our study of the church’s history, we neglect the role that women have played in spreading the Gospel and strengthening the church. In addition, many women who led great efforts outside of the church’s walls were motivated by their faith in Jesus. Through the example of these women, we are all motivated to greater faithfulness to our Lord and to love our neighbors in the name of Jesus.

Here are 10 inspiring quotes about faith from women:

New York is considering two bills that would legalize commercial surrogacy in the state. Like in Washington State, where commercial surrogacy is already legal, the push in New York is being made with “heartstrings rhetoric and celebrity endorsement.”

A handful of Southern Baptist Convention pastors are threatening to boycott an upcoming conference over a female pastor's scheduled spoken word performance.

While many deserving women won prestigious awards, I couldn't help but think of the many amazing women who are at least as worthy of recognition yet are never mentioned at any of these secular events. 

In their various causes and through very different work, these eight women speak up for those who, in our culture, have little to no voice: the unborn, those with disabilities, or victims of the sexual revolution. In doing so, they stand courageously against powerful cultural norms. If they worked on behalf of culturally acceptable causes, their names would be celebrated with the others.

Beth Moore is theologically conservative and doesn't believe women should be pastors in her own denomination. But her recent tweet renewed a debate that's been an issue for more than 300 years.

At their annual meeting, Southern Baptists re-elected their president, adopted statements on their views about major cultural issues, and discussed how to deal with sexual abuse and racial discrimination in the church.

James Holzhauer won Jeopardy! thirty-two straight times and was poised to take over the top spot on the show’s all-time, regular-play winnings list. That was before Emma Boettcher, a librarian from Chicago, defeated him in last night’s episode.
