The fact that those in the body of Christ commit these abuses and then use the name of God to cross over to the other side of the road is frankly horrific. Victims of abuse are being used by God to expose us to ourselves.

Fun fact: Davy Chu is a product of Chapel Hill Bible Church & was in college ministry w/ CRU leader Hugh Jones —one of the cowardly elders in Crissie & Walker’s story on BBTB. Fruit of the same poisonous tree…. x.com/chbconfidentia… Julie Roys Dee Parsons John-Uh Harris ☀️

This is why when I hear of one who is “transitioned,” or erased from a so-called Christian org or church I assume they signed an NDA, not for trade secrets mind you, but to not disparage said org (they get to determine what that means).

Laurel All the way to the SJC. The final vote about whether or not the complaint was judicially in order was 12-12-0. The SJC did not hear the case.

Screwtape never sneaks in through the back door. He gregariously walks through the front door; he speaks the right language, talks a great game, and is very competent. You'll swear he's awesome. You'll overlook 🚩because they won't line up with the man you think you know. And

Brian Morris Thank you for this What a difference if Dane and the church could just be humble and repent. Defensiveness like this is just not in the spirit of the Gospel

We can’t go on pretending that we are truly repentant, when our actions continue to prove otherwise.

Brian Morris Two of the 6 active elders at NPC are on staff (their livelihoods depend on the church). Another two are over 80 years old, and one of those was a key player in the unlawful conduct. The other two, well, unfortunately, they are "yes men".

I promised receipts. Now seems to be a great time for... THE TALE OF BOB HALE. 🧵 Julie Roys first wrote on my case in Dec 2022. At the time I saw a couple comments: - "100% false story based on a disgruntled employee and a disgruntled Elder. We pray for Emily during

Dane Ortlund I was an elder at Dane Ortlund's Naperville Presbyterian Church when Emily Hyland was fired and testified under oath at trial. NPC has now released a statement in response to the legal ruling against it. That statement is significant in what it conspicuously omits.

Paul Duggan, B.A., B.A. Brian Morris Yes. In April 2022. Also that month they interview Dane and associate Pastor Davy. The report to presbytery was written in early August 2022 and presented by Dane's friend Aug 17. Surely it was a coincidence that Dane's friend preached Aug 7 and 14th.

As someone who experienced the opposite of this bravery I can’t thank Evan enough for his courage. The elders who are supporting SAC and still in the CFP could learn well from this man.

"...it is puzzling when a shepherd who points others to Christ's tenderness does not extend that tenderness to those under his care." Whew, if one sentence could summarize 'spiritual abuse' in Reformed churches... 🎯🎯🎯

I really appreciate that there are many who can see this for exactly what it was and know the drill of archiving pages for future receipts.

How odd to go public and then hide/delete any dissenting comments or even questions. Sounds like what ligonier did with my friend’s comment about being confused by the Nichol’s removal from RBC 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sydney Tooth Keep calling them out, I'm more and more convinced that we need as many people as possible asking the awkward questions and making people think about their motivations.

No excuses!

Suffering people often need others to have faith and hope for them. Admonitions to hope or trust often result in despair; if the sufferers were able, they would do so. It is often helpful to say, “I know you struggle to hope right now. I will hope for you.”
