Why do most women enjoy going to church more than men? Christian author Paul Coughlin has some challenging (but beneficial) words for the women of the church and how being "good" means more than just avoiding doing the wrong things for the sake of appearances: http://bit.ly/aehEoh I love this guy.

I'm not proud of that, but I want to start going to church as a family and I want it to come from an authentic place (whether it's just me or the whole famiy).
I think this article is spot on with the analysis that the church has become too sweet and saccharine and it sometimes does not apply to life in the world anymore. It's become some sort of sheltered group with its own culture that nobody else understands. And the self-righteousness of most people really gets to me and that's one of the reasons I've stopped going.
Maybe it's my own perception and maybe I should look past my own experiences and maybe I should not expect people to be perfect. But still, I continually pray for a more relevant church experience to happen to me now or in the future. Beyond that, I still have my faith and Jesus.
Thanks for sharing this, Kyle.

I haven't gone to church since I was young. I understand why many people, women in particular, would enjoy it though. We all need to frame our lives in some way, and have some sense of control - church is a good way to do that.

Alan Miller and John Hoffman have been working for 10 years on the ways gender differences can be explained by mapping risk preferences (women tend to be more risk averse) and power structures onto religious practices. It's added an interesting component to my coaching work, being attentive to those dynamics (for better and worse - but they're there!) with particularly religious women.
