I AM SORRY! Meant nothing by it and should have worded it better... I think women are just as talented and way better looking than men in the ministry. As for singles, if it were required to be married to be in youth ministry, I would have never made it, because I started solo. Love you all and apologize again.

As a single woman in ministry, I definitely felt offended. As youth ministry finally seems to be leaving the "Good Ole' Boys Club" sector, allowing women to feel validated in their calling, comments like #4 can often leave us feeling knocked back down. The same with being single... you don't have to be married to carry the message of Christ to your students. I guess I just have to remind myself that the Apostle Paul's ministry was extremely successful, and he didn't have a weekly date night, nor did he need a "happy wife" to have a "happy life."
