Hope Bonarcher says we have all been created as vulnerable beings, and challenges us to stop listening to culture’s message that we need to be strong
As a female Christian, I feel a subtle pressure to muscle up. There’s an energy in the room that things would be better if women were in the driver’s seat. Biblically speaking, women as a sex are physically weaker (1 Peter 3:7), something many of us deny and battle to reform. Imagine, a push to make what God has designed better. Are stronger, less vulnerable things of greater value? Is a brick more precious than a gemstone? Is this even biblical? When Christ came to this world a babe in a manger, was there a being mighty enough to outweigh him? Perhaps our vulnerability as women, instead of being a hindrance, is an advantage too easily dismissed.
