What many people may not recognize is that I went first to complementarians with my DVDs with the first ones receiving a pre-production copy. I asked for feedback and/or a review or a refutation as I felt that would be helpful to me. My interest is in truth. If I was not interested in seeing any blind spots that I may have I would never have gone to complementarians or especially to them first. Here is the very first review from a complementarian that viewed a pre-production copy. It is from Dr. Scott Heine:

The story of creation tells us that both man and woman were made in the image of God. All people are given intrinsic value in the miraculous act of creation, and all people are loved passionately by God, regardless of gender, race, age, education, economics, etc. However, though men and women are equal in value and purpose in God’s eyes, there are passages in the Bible that raise the question of whether or not God limits the roles that are available to women in a local church family. Women in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free examines this question in a thoughtful and persuasive way. Through clear, concise teaching and multimedia, this series provides an excellent presentation of the arguments in favor of a woman’s freedom to serve in all roles of Christian leadership according to God’s leading. Though I disagree with the theological conclusions of this series at several points, I found the series very helpful in understanding the issues involved from a different perspective. Without a doubt, the presentation is offered with tremendous respect, integrity, and grace.

Also regarding NN, I received an email from his wife last night saying that she will watch the DVDs once more to refresh her memory and get back to me privately regarding the material in the DVDs. I am hoping that NN will participate as well, but she made no mention if he was willing or not to dialog on the DVDs.

Please pray for this precious couple that God will minister to them in their physical needs as well as open their eyes regarding women in ministry. I don’t believe that they have come to my attention and to this blog haphazardly. I believe that it was a Divine appointment that God is using to bring a blessing into their lives.
