Thanks for doing this interview, Steve. I so agree with Jim's ending comments – I have never considered myself to be a feminist…. What I am interested in is being heard. I do hope this book starts some different kinds of conversations – not just the same old worn out arguments. When it comes to what men have to say to me about me (as far as giving me value or worth) the only one I care to hear is Jesus, although I will admit that I do listen to my husband and, at times, my earthly Daddy. But even they don't validate me – only Christ does. And like Jesus, I only want to be doing what Father is doing, and saying what Father is saying.
When are you going to interview some of the Daughters of Eve about this book?As I read their stories and start to get to know these ladies, I think that there are several who would be good choices.

I just listened to this broadcast. I'm heavily involved with the men's ministry of our church in Miami, and like Steve we have a church where guys want to participate and get involved. They feel something is good is happening, they like it, and want more. From what I hear on the street this isn't very common. Jim said that maybe the reason guys don't generally like church is because other men are leading poorly (in contrast to what Steve said about churches run by women and children). I would say weak men have been leading poorly because they have allowed proud women to dictate the direction of church (I'm generalizing because of the myriad of churches out there). On the other hand I think the conversation is important, but it MUST be theological, and by that I mean focused on brokenness first; not necessarily on Biblical role of women. In other words, I have learned a lot from broken women. In contrast, I've never learned anything from a proud woman (except to stay away from them). If the conversation about women in the church is not saturated with the gospel, we may as well not have it.

Hey, Marcos – I have learned a lot from broken men, but in contrast, I've never learned anything from a proud man (except to stay away from them). God didn't make man the leader, and God didn't make woman the follower. Read the Bible carefully. "God said to THEM, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.": God did NOT give that directive/privilege only to the man! Man and woman were created as partners, not leader and follower. Sometimes it's important for a man to listen to a woman, and sometimes it's important for a woman to listen to a man. We are to submit to EACH OTHER. That is the gift of God's original design. Mankind is the one who has screwed that up (by listening to Satan's lies) – God never changed his original design. It doesn't need to be improved upon by men thinking they need to be "stronger leaders" — we need to open our eyes and heart to receive God's Words. When God created the woman, He called her "Ezer Kenegdo" (read it in the original Hebrew). He didn't call her Woman, or even Eve (that was the derogatory name the first man gave her after the fall when he became proud). Do you know what Ezer means? Think of a warrior who's fighting with a sword and is surrounded by several enemies. When he has a fighting partner, they stand back-to-back and face the enemies together. This makes them stronger, not weaker. Kenegdo means "equal match" not lesser or follower. As for me, I'm sticking with God's word for woman, not fallen man's.

"Ezer Kenegdo" (the original Hebrew) is in Genesis 2:18 – the only place in the bible you will find this term. This is where we get the pathetic translation "helpmeet" or "helper" which is what misleads.
