Samara Joy brings ‘No More Blues’ to Santa Barbara’s Jazz Series
Acclaimed jazz vocalist Samara Joy McLendon received a boisterous welcome from the Granada Theatre’s full house for her dazzling set on Oct. 2. Opening the UC Santa Barbara Arts & Lectures’ Jazz Series (sponsored by the Manitou Fund), Joy’s return to Santa Barbara after her 2023 “A Joyful Holiday” show brought more insight into her astounding sound as a developing writer and bandleader.
Christian women have been shamed into a corner. Many have bought the lie that they are the second sex-they do not matter and they are not gifted, at least not in the ways that matter most. They got the message that they need to limit their horizons, temper their ambitions. They are leaving. Research shows not only are there are fewer women in church, there are fewer women going to seminary. Women's advancement in leadership has altogether stalled, right along with the wage gap.
Sacred Work in Secular Vocation By Halee Gray Scott Of all the creatures on earth, humans are the only species with the ability to reflect on the purpose of their existence. No one-not even the agnostic or the atheist-can escape from the fundamental questions: What does my life mean? What is it for? Without meaning, our lives are adrift in an endless sea, rudderless, powerless against the great tides of history and culture. Access the FullFill digizine library and our last issue- Exits.
How Can You Develop More Women Small-Group Pastors?
Despite a plethora of female group leaders, few small-group pastors are women. What can be done to develop women small-group pastors? Editor’s Note: Think you have no power to change these statistics? Think again.

As mulheres leem mais a Bíblia do que os homens. Por quê?
Quando Anne Graham Lotz era criança, ela fez uma trilha de 22 quilômetros nas montanhas Blue Ridge, acompanhada de uma amiga. A certa altura, elas se viram perdidas em um bosque de loureiros, sem saber como encontrar o caminho de volta. “Esses bosques podem cobrir a encosta de uma montanha, e você se vê em uma mata cerrada”, disse Anne Lotz a CT. “Você não consegue ver nada acima, além, nem dos lados”.
Women Read the Bible More Than Men. Why?
When Anne Graham Lotz was a girl, she went on a 14-mile hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a friend. Eventually, they found themselves lost in a laurel thicket, unsure of the way home. “Laurel thickets can cover the side of a mountain, and you’re dense in thicket,” Lotz told CT. “You can’t see up, out, either side.” Fortunately, her friend had packed a compass, and with that compass, they were able to set their course for north and find their way out of the laurel thicket.
A ‘Sober Curious’ Quarantine Broke My Christian Perfectionism
She couldn’t have been younger than 65. Fit, trim, close-cropped silver hair, loading her third case of wine into her Costco cart. The man next to her laughed and said, “You’re going to ride this out in style, eh?” She smiled. It was just days before Colorado Governor Jared Polis issued stay-at-home orders. It seems that she was not alone. Health officials issued warnings about drinking during quarantine, citing the 55 percent increase in alcohol sales in the week ending on March 21.
The Gospel of Mark Zuckerberg
From the late 1980s, many churches made the decision to run like businesses and now, in a surprising twist, businesses in 2017 are running like churches. At Facebook’s inaugural Communities Summit earlier this summer, CEO Mark Zuckerberg lauded the role churches historically played in society, from providing support in community to stoking charitable volunteerism.
