The radio station that sells air time to Matt Slick&#8217;s Faith and Reason radio show has confirmed the dates and times of the public airing of my 4 DVD series &#8220;Women in Ministry Silenced or Set Free?&#8221; This is free air time because of the misrepresentation of my view by Matt Slick. My family radio station in Boise, Idaho has been gracious enough to give me air time to allow my view to be heard without misrepresentation. Here are the air times in Boise Idaho &#8211; <strong>all are Mountain time<\/strong>. The station is presenting the DVDs on <strong>BOTH<\/strong> their AM and FM stations, praise the Lord!<\/p>\n<p>You can listen live to the audio from my 4 DVD set at the following link.

I have created this post so that it will be a safe place for her to come and share with us her answers. Now I know that some of you have been hurt by Diane&#8217;s harsh attitude on CARM, but I ask that you refrain from any unkind or unChristian attitude towards her on this post. While I do not agree with Diane&#8217;s public attitude towards others, I do not want her to find this kind of attitude on this post. This is an opportunity for any of you who have been hurt to show her that a Christian attitude is alive and well on this blog. I have given Diane an invitation to post her answers here so that it will be a safe environment for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know that Diane may not feel safe in the beginning because she is used to only being around strong complementarians who support her strong critical &#8220;style&#8221;. But this safe environment may be just what Diane needs to get outside the environment that surrounds CARM. Please welcome Diane, remember that I will personally put your posts under moderation if there is any kind of personal attack or unChrist-like behavior.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a Christian, then <strong>Jesus lives in you<\/strong>. The true test is not how you treat others when they treat you well, but how you treat others who have been less than kind to you. This is the safe environment that I welcome Diane to. Diane, let&#8217;s discuss your &#8220;correction&#8221; and I challenge you to show me where I am wrong. Then <strong>be prepared<\/strong> for a very strong challenge. <strong>The world is watching, Diane.<\/strong> You said this on CARM&#8217;s discussion board didn&#8217;t you? I am ready and willing to &#8220;debate&#8221; this issue with you in a respectful dialog-kind of way.
