Website Read | WHEN MALE HIERARCHY TEACHING TURNS GOOD MEN BAD
Evangelical churches, especially those that have a vested interest in male hierarchy and traditional gender roles (such as the LCMS and WELS), will not ever apologize for these teachings. They will never say they’re sorry. They will never take accountability for teaching these things and telling every woman and man that their marriage has to look like this. That’s why your best bet is to leave these churches.

REACTION | The Bare Marriage Podcast Episode 223
Props to the host and her guests for going through this awful book. My reaction is more concerned with the fact they bring up about Dannah Gresh and her victimization of young women through purity culture while her husband indulged in porn for 20+. years. I’m harsh on her, and that’s for my own reasons that I share in the video. What about you?

REACTION | The Deconstruction of Christianity by Sean McDowell, ft Alisa Childers, and Tim Barnett
By leaving any attempt at kindness and generosity and disclaimers towards the end, you’re doing more damage than good. Deconstruction is not something to be afraid of - it is something to celebrate.
Go check out the Antibot video! It’s a great video that covers the issues more succinctly: https://youtu.be/Vi3ntwAc8lc

We end with part 1 of 2 of this video reaction series to Kristi Meyer’s presentation. She currently teaches at WLC. Please do not find her and harass her.

Correction: it was May of 2022 that she was supposed to go before the committee members. Still - it’s unproven, untested, unchallenged, and the WELS was more than okay with her presenting her thesis as fact during this retreat.

Reaction to Ministry Watch Article on Alistair Begg Part 2
It would truly mean more to understand where Warren Smith derives his theology and ontology of marriage from, as then his beliefs can be better understood, despite disagreements over the correctness of those ideas. It would also mean a great deal if we saw more evangelical authors stop conflating situational advice given to a particular person as being advice given to everyone considering themselves to be an evangelical Christian.
Again - shoutout to the grandmother who wanted help to tread that fine line. She’s also a victim in this whole catastrophe, regardless if you agree with her struggles and beliefs, and she deserves much compassion.

Considering all of the things Alistair made clear when he was giving this advice to this poor grandmother, you boil it down to “attending LGBTQ marriage bad - period” without linking any sources to back your statements. Also - where’s the concern for the poor grandmother??? Or do you just reserve that for your delicate theology?

Good grief. Pastor guy is so desperate to one up his fellow pastors, isn’t he? And for the record, saying that the pastor needs to have a statement in the communion statement telling visitors to speak with the pastor prior to communioning IS STILL A COMMUNION STATEMENT! Full marks for being passive aggressive though.
