A Deeply feminine woman is so at rest in God’s delight in her undamageable beauty that she invites others to enjoy the beauty of God’s holy invitational nature by relating:
1) invitationally, not controllingly;
2) engagingly, not instructionally;
3) openly, not guardedly; and
4) courageously, not defensively.
A Deeply masculine man moves into his relationships and responsibilities (in that order) with no controlling fear of how others might respond or of what life might throw at him with one ruling passion: to identify, awaken and restore the desire for God in others with holy confidence that he has been given the weight of impact no matter how inadequate he feels, or confused, weak or frightened he may be and no matter how little impact he feels (stay faithful to pleasing the Lord).
