Employee of Dunwoody Baptist Church in Georga is arrested after police find child sexual abuse materials at his home. At the church, he had worked closely with children & youth for 20 years. Dunwoody Baptist is shown as SBC-affiliated. #ThisistheSBC wsbtv.com/news/20-plus-y…

They claim to be 'pro-life' while simultaneously urging that women who have abortions 'should be killed.'

'Dig a hole & put her down.'

This isn't pro-life; it's anti-woman. It's also despicable & dangerous. #AuthoritarianReligion

Donald R Hackler Jr These 'chaplain bills' are bad for kids, bad for schools, and bad for the separation of church & state. This column by Brian Kaylor & Jeremy Fuzy offers a lot of insight. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/chaplains-fo…

Congrats Christa! That said, your book is about so much MORE than abuse: institutional cover ups, how to fight them, how to find hope, how to overcome a dysfunctional family, how resiliency and persistence can overcome. . . .

Hey! Just noticed... Today #Baptistland is the #1 New Release in the category of Child Abuse. (I like to shamelessly savor these small transient moments...) And many thanks to all of you who've been placing pre-orders... because this is YOUR doing!

“We have given them the benefit of the doubt for decades & they have decimated hundreds of lives with that benefit of the doubt.” #ThisistheSBC

From my interview with Stephanie Krehbiel of Into Account. ⬇️ #ChurchToo intoaccount.org/2024/04/25/an-…

NC pastor had 10,000 child sexual abuse images on his computer. He watched 'while multitasking & completing church business.' His church, New Vision Baptist Fellowship in Granite Falls, shows as affiliated with Southern Baptist Convention. #ThisistheSBC wbtv.com/2024/04/29/cou…

This quote from Christa Brown contains a whole book in and of itself.

It's not just a few 'bad apples.' It's a barrel that fosters the rot.

The case under discussion is Immanuel Baptist, a prominent church of the Southern Baptist Convention, & within the SBC, abuse & coverups are rampant. #ThisistheSBC #TheyKnew #SBC24 #SBCtoo dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Sooo... the infamous Matt Chandler has a new book called The Overcomers AND it releases on May 7, the very same day that my book, 𝘽𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙, releases. Cosmic, eh? D'ya think we should have a joint book event? 😂🙃😂

Grateful for this endorsement from Dee Parsons

Many Christian followers of Trump “have come to see a gospel of hatreds, resentments, vilifications, put-downs & insults as expressions of their Christianity, for which they too should be willing to fight.” - George Marsden

'Churches set people up & exploit survivors as props in this theater piece they’re putting on about how much they care.'

This was such a good conversation. ⬇️ If you wanna donate to an org that truly helps #ChurchToo survivors, I recommend Into Account. intoaccount.org/2024/04/25/an-…

In CO, there's a lovely little town with a statue of a headless chicken named Mike. I know what you're thinking... Why honor a headless chicken?

But hey... I'll take a headless chicken any day over stained glass memorials of men like Pressler & Patterson. #ThisistheSBC

'Their blindness, capture, and culpability.' This is American evangelicalism. #ThisistheSBC
