My Take
What draws me to Rachel Held Evans is her refusal to pretend faith is tidy. She wrote from inside her own doubt, treating Scripture as something to wrestle with rather than weaponize, and that honesty is why her readers trusted her so completely. A Year of Biblical Womanhood could have been a gimmick, but she lived it with real curiosity. Losing her at 37 robbed a generation of a gentle, brave voice. I admire writers who make space for the uncertain, and she did that better than almost anyone I can think of.
