When corrupt leadership is exposed, believers like author Mary DeMuth have made difficult choices to exit their home church. Now Mary shares how to navigate leaving a toxic church—and what to do in the face of bewilderment & righteous anger after betrayal julieroys.com/podcast/naviga…

Got blocked. @MetroBible doesn’t like it when you “tell it like it is” I will always speak up about how Metro Bible treats its small congregation. It’s elder worship not Jesus focused and a dangerous place to be. Avoid at all costs. #spiritualabuse

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨 This is me standing in front of the prison where #PeteNewman, who serially abused my late brother Trey throughout his childhood and adolescence, is behind bars. Newman was sentenced to two life terms plus 30 years in 2010 in Missouri. The sentences were

We try. It is our joy to bring peace and sit with those who need support after experiencing Metro Bible Church. @MetroBible

When someone is particularly gifted verbally, has a charismatic personality and is adept with spiritual language it is very easy for us to assume maturity. Spiritual maturity is measured by character, by the fruit of the Spirit of God in a life.

Same. @MetroBible

This is how @metrobible has continued all these years. The pastor of Metro Bible Church claims he’s never wrong after over ten years and hundreds of people speaking up/fleeing the church due to his sinful behaviors.

Huh. When the lights turn on, they flee. Deleting the socials won’t make us forget the harm you’ve done (still doing). We know. And we won’t quit talking. Metro Bible Church.

The ULTIMATE power imbalance used by a false teacher is to forge Gods name &word out of context into threats &manipulation. Ie: “If you loved God, you would…” “Your problem is with GOD not me!” Spiritual power imbalance &abuse happens online or in person. It’s disgusting.

When abusive pastors accuse & attack their victims, the beauty of Christ is maligned. The Church is slandered. And innocent sheep are twice eaten. Who will come to their defense? And how should they defend the sheep? 1/5 aaronjhann.com/p/why-advocate…

Yep. Metro Bible Church.

Metro Bible Church. Destroying relationships and not looking back.

Those things that enable long-term sin to continue are so much a part of the fabric of our lives that we do not even see them anymore. That is why Jesus called the Pharisees “blind guides”. In practicing darkness while professing light, we sin.

If an insecure, abusing pastor has re-shaped their board to only include people who will applaud them, then it is no longer a biblical system of genuine accountability.

A few Southern Baptists are online, fighting. A lot of Southern Baptists are - on the road - holding a chainsaw - cooking meals - running shower trailers in states affected by Helene.

Yes. Looking at you Metro Bible Church.

Pastors in the area know about my old church, too. And no one but the abused are brace enough to speak out about. It’s a weird bro code. Metro Bible Church.

For the first time ever, Kanakuk Kamps's Wikipedia page now includes details on its longtime history of child s*xual abuse scandals and associated coverups, along with other disturbing information. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanakuk_K…

“The only people Jesus condemned were those who used religion to hurt others. I refuse to let Christian Nationalists twist a religion of love to justify their hate.”

People who’ve hurt you will heighten their criticism of you when they see you start to outgrow their tactics.
