Driscoll believes that Christianity has been “feminized”. In a 2006 interview with Desiring God, he said, “The problem with the church today, it’s just a bunch of nice, soft, tender, ‘chickified’ [sic] church boys. Sixty percent of Christians are chicks, and the forty percent that are dudes are still sort of chicks. … The whole architecture and the whole aesthetic [of church buildings and services] is really feminine.” In contrast, Driscoll emphasizes what he perceives as macho behavior in the actions of biblical protagonists: he describes Jesus, Paul the Apostle, and King David saying: “… these guys were dudes. Heterosexual, win-a-fight, punch-you-in-the-nose, dudes.” He believes that in order to be innovative, the church needs to get entrepreneurial young men involved, who will “make the culture of the future.”
