I've written some posts on my site about the time I spent studying both complementarianism and egalitarianism, why I'm not a Christian feminist, etc. Part of what made me close up shop and stop writing about these topics a few years ago was the increasing influence of women like Karen Swallow Prior (among many others). I could see the destructive and unbiblical trajectory the entire "Christian feminist" movement was on and I didn't want to be associated with it (even mistakenly) in even a passing way.
This sometimes snarky article is a bit out of the norm for what I would share, but it's quite interesting to ponder for a few reasons.
One, the author goes through the Scriptures about witches and sorcery. It's a topic I've never looked at in detail so I appreciate the fact that he gave a roadmap to dig further into this subject.
Two, although I was aware of this woman and the inexplicable influence she is having on the SBC, I was not aware of how abysmally unqualified she is. That is what made me pause and go, "Huh" while reading the article. I wrongly assumed she had theology degrees from somewhere. (Like I said, I've checked out of following these topics for the most part.)
Third, the Tom Buck and Sheologians stories. Very interesting. I know enough about them and their approach to the faith, theology, etc. that the stories also made me pause.
I've been saying for many months that we're going through a time in history of the Lord separating the wheat from the chaff. He's exposing false teachers, false doctrine, etc.
Read the article for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Something else I've thought about a lot since moving away from following these topics is the number of women I've known online in the past fifteen years who seemed to be solid, Bible-believing Christians who have ended up embracing the most blatantly errant beliefs. I'm not talking different views of baptism type stuff. I'm talking flat out heresy.
I wondered how women who seemed so solid could go so wrong. I've assumed embracing "Progressive Christianity" was the reason for most of it, but this witchcraft article makes me wonder.
I wrote about some of this in this post.
