The problem in the church today is just a bunch of nice, soft, tender, chickafied church boys. 60% of Christians are chicks and the 40% that are dudes are still sort of...chicks. It's just sad.
We're looking around going, How come we're not innovative? Cause all the innovative dudes are home watching football or they're out making money or climbing a mountain or shooting a gun or working on their truck. They look at the church like that's a nice thing for women and children. So the question is if you want to be innovative: How do you get young men? All this nonsense on how to grow the church. One issue: young men. That's it. That's the whole thing. They're going to get married, make money, make babies, build companies, buy real estate. They're going to make the culture of the future. If you get the young men you win the war, you get everything. You get the families, the women, the children, the money, the business, you get everything. If you don't get the young men you get nothing. -Mark Driscoll

I love that picture of Napoleon's brother, re-watched it last night coincedentally, and it's all too true. But, I have to say, because he simply overlooked it, and that is the powerful job women do in the church and how creative, gifted, loving, should I go on, the post would be very long.
I happen to be emailing Donna lately and she thinks outside the box, to understate it. Any church would be revolutionary with women like her in it.
I do think his post has a lot of truth in it but a bit far reaching.
