    I watched Joel one Sunday when I was in my office working while the wife took the kids to church. I wished I would have taped the show... he was talking about how the women should please their man and look nice for their man.. of course he spent the last 3 minutes telling men they should listen and talk to their wife.... ;)

    The more TV Evangelist I see, the less I like them. I'm a Billy Graham fan so to speak, Never really had a church of his own just wanted to share the love and redemption of Jesus. Most of them are on ego trips.

    I watch his show when I get the chance. He doesn't really come off like the other televangelists. He actually seems sincere about what he's saying. I wish I would have been able to go see him, but maybe next time.

    From what I've heard he is one of those feel good preachers and he only had one year in seminary (according to the Observer). But I guess every preacher is different and you listen to the ones that you like.

    When I've watched Joel, I just never felt the same disgust I did for Jim Baker and several other current day leaders of the industry...
