The leader sees this as an effort to protect the sanctity of marriage. But violence has already shattered sanctity. What they’re attempting to protect is not actually a marriage except in name. It is a war zone that is destroying all occupants.
It is easy to become confused about this in a God-ordained system. Take the example of marriage, a God-ordained institution. When marital violence is exposed, church leaders may send the victim of that violence home to “suffer for Jesus’s sake”.
When the Israelites tried to protect the temple despite its corruption, God responded by pretty much blasting them out of Israel. He didn’t preserve the structure because His temple is ultimately in the hearts of people, not in a system.
Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.
Sending compassion to those who’ve lost their support system because they spoke up. To those who reached out for help & had people reject them. This is one of life’s deepest pains—to have to grieve past pain & process new pain because of who walks away.
These kids seem uncomfortable.
I was asked ‘if you could only give one piece of advice to young women about relationships, what would it be?’. My answer, in bold and underlined… ‘Be very careful who you have children with’ #FamilyCourt #DASuicide #coercivecontrol
Just a reminder: Many abusers (leaders, partners, parents) are people who are heavily admired in public.
People of integrity do not hide their reactions or opinions. They do not manipulate others through deception and they do not pretend to be something they are not.
Jesus uses His power to protect, to expose, and to restore dignity. He calls His people to be in the world using our power under His authority, displaying his character by speaking truth, shedding light, and tending and protecting the vulnerable.
No one else is the hero of your survival story. No therapist, course, conference or book took those steps for you. You did. No one can take credit for the depth you’ve explored in order to stay here and heal. You should be so proud.
God longs for you to know deeply that He knit you together, He purposed your existence, and He has bent down, become little and known abuse and been trashed for your sake. He knows.
Feeling numb is not mental health care
Never feel guilty for setting boundaries to protect your peace.
Forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time. Forgive yourself for giving away your power. Forgive yourself for past behaviors Forgive yourself for the survival patterns & traits you picked up while enduring trauma. Forgive yourself for being who you needed to be Unknown
There are groups that would like to sell you the idea that your mental health is the absence of stressors & emotional struggles. Yet its your response to those stressors that ultimately strengthen you. They want you fragile & dependent. Don't let them.
Ever notice how people who don't tolerate lies, disrespect, or deceit are always labeled difficult, unstable, crazy or bitter?
Silencing victims is the same as telling abusers “carry on”.

@KSPrior @ErinMHarding I can't even watch the whole thing. I've tried twice.
@megbasham ? from an outsider looking in. SBC fills up my timeline every June so I am just curious. No With such a disagreement over women pastors, why do those churches want to stay in SBC? What do they gain? Why not run their church the way they want? Asking both sides.
Every parent should watch this

STOP with the “parties switched” fallacy. This is typical revised history by the Democrats (Dixiecrats) to cover up their sordid past, since its inception. “The system” who controls all media, government, academia, has brainwashed TF outta millions and indoctrinated school kids…
@AGEllison *And bring the killer, Derrick Thompson, to justice for the murder of these five women who were celebrating a friends wedding, one of the greatest joys in life, when they were killed by Thompson. *
@AGEllison Where the outrage toward Derrick Thompson???
@KihneSheila Just curious.... How many times did Comrade Ellison have dinner and drinks with John Thompson and possibly his son Derek as well? 🤔
Everyone knows that this is a complete joke. If the driver had been a white man, it would be national news, Keith X would have him publicly tried and executed. But it's the black criminal son of a former state rep BLM terrorist. So.....it's grief and memories. #Minnesota
As we bury today the 5 young women killed in Friday night’s car crash, we can only imagine the horrific pain the families are going through. We as a community must wrap our arms around them, support and grieve with them, and keep the memory of their children alive with us.
It's like the Salem Witch Trials, except instead of yelling, "She's a witch!", Southern Baptist complementarian men are like, "She's a pastor!"
Seriously, even if you're complementarian, does it matter if a church calls a woman "worship director" or "worship pastor"? Given that 50% of the youth are women/girls, is having a female youth/children's pastor such a bad idea? What's with the creepy thing of posting photos of…
I’m convinced a lot of people still are intrigued by Jesus, they just don’t want to attend those weird family reunions we keep insisting on. So, for their sake AND ours, let’s stop going.
And we can apologize. Own where we got it wrong. This won’t make it all better, but in my experience it means a lot to people when we say it. And there are still those out there looking for churches who have purged this stuff, & are learning to live out something better.
We can re-examine our love affair with charismatic leaders who make us feel good but ask for our unwavering loyalty in exchange.
Our faith isn’t a house of cards where if, say, you believe spanking is harmful to a kid’s early childhood development suddenly every copy of the Nicene Creed turns to ashes. And we can find a better way to talk about sex w/o shaming women & enabling predatory men.
Because there’s an opportunity here, if we can humble ourselves and listen. We can still take following Jesus very seriously, hold to the Christian faith tightly, while purging stuff we inherited from our past we now see as harmful.
To be clear, I am not saying most conservative Christianity was AS BAD as Gothard’s world, there’s an evil to IBLP I still find hard to wrap my head around, but we Christians need to be real careful we’re not slowing down to check out the car wreck then driving on.
