Lisa and I had the opportunity to be on The Today Show yesterday to talk about the important role women play in churches. And I said, I think the role of women is the soul of society!

Dear Mr. Young,
May I please have a second of your time? I and a friend of mine regularly attend you Sunday morning services and I have to say we enjoy ourselves and your sermons immensely. I say this because I have a problem I really need advice on. My friend is really starting to scare me with his actions, and I know that not only can you help me but that my friend will greatly respect your opinion.

I THOUGHT THE INTERVIEW WAS AWFUL...PASTOR YOUNG WHY DID YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD AS IF IN AGREEMENT WITH WHAT SHRIVER SAID...SHE STATED THAT THE CONSERVATIVE CHURCHES ARE TO ACCEPT GAY RELATIONSHIPS, ABORTION, DIVORCE IN OTHER WORDS WE ARE TO BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE
"THE WORLD"....YOU DID NOT SPEAK UP OR DISPUTE HER CLAIMS....

Ed,
Great interview. Great positive light for the Gospel. Uncompromising but compassionate as well.

Again I absolutely loved watching you and your wife on the Today show. I reminded me that as a woman I am important. I don't feel that way often due to a very low self esteem but hopefully with the word of god and prayer I can overcome it and realize that I am somebody and I am important. Thank you for being such a great team!

It's great to see God use you and Lisa in the Media this way! (There did seem to be a bit of tension in the room though since Maria is pretty liberal - was there conversation after the taping? I'd love to see her accept Jesus as her Savior and Lord.)

It is great what women have done to the church, and would it not be for them I do not know where the churches would be today, because they are not here due to the men, which are sorely missing!
Speaking of Men, what to do to get men back into church? OK besides church having lots of women, this can not be the reason for a man to go. We need to find the hearts of men again by speak their lingo and having other men like myself motivating them to go (back) to church.
More churches are catching on by what the "Promise Keepers" started in the 90s, ministering to men. However, in our day and age, men in the 20s and 30s are the lost generation churches need to reach and cater for. Besides, who are all these single women in church going to marry if not christian men? But lack thereof they have to look elsewhere or go without.
Yes women are the soul of the society and doing well, but the men are the missing souls needing to be reached and society is missing them!
