Kevin - please beware of "growing" one group. What we need is for the truth to be paramount. Some women do evil. Some men do evil. Some men & women pretend to be "spiritual warriors in their own home" while either actually doing nothing and using the image for social gain - or worse, actually doing evil pretending to be spiritual warriors. Beware of focusing on individual verses of the Bible, or focusing on one group/gender. Yes, I understand men need to be built back up after the generation of feminism. But please be aware that evil doers can even use your good intentions for bad things. The only thing an abuser cannot use easily is the truth - the whole truth, spoken again and again by everyone around them. That is what we need to do --- like the author above states, we must do the hard things - hard things are usually done individually and uniquely. As soon as you make it into group-efforts (in effect making it easier to do) then fakers easily join in and co-opt the effort. They especially easily co-opt the effort when it becomes about one or two Bible verses. Also, as the author said, groups quickly become about numbers instead of real faith. All of this has happened too many times to me.
Agreed on all points, well said.
