Out of a desire for evangelicals’ conversations about sex to be healthy, evidence-based, and rooted in Christ, Sheila and her team have analyzed many popular Christian books on sex. Many teach that Men need sex. And it’s their wives’ job to give it to them—unconditionally, whenever they want it, or these husbands will come under "Satanic attack."
With messages like these, is it any wonder that abuse victims often feel like it’s their fault if someone hurts them?
The patterns of abuse we’re seeing in the church today are a symptom of these toxic evangelical teachings, explains Sheila. And to solve the problem of abuse, we need to analyze and challenge these unbiblical teachings.

Lance says the system of leadership that’s been imported into the church from corporate America is what’s producing our abysmal results. This system has been wholesale embraced by Christians, but there’s nothing biblical about it.
As one who has designed training systems being used by networks and seminaries worldwide, Lance is speaking from a heart of love for pastors and the church.
This is an extremely illuminating talk, essential for anyone who cares about the health of the church and the proper care of those in it.

Researcher, author, and abuse survivor advocate, Wade Mullen, speaks on how to manage a crisis in a session from the recent Restore Conference.
In light of what’s happening at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOPKC), this message is particularly relevant. IHOPKC is facing allegations that its founder, Mike Bickle, sexually abused multiple women over several decades. And just this weekend, IHOPKC platformed Eric Volz of The David House Agency to manage its crisis.
Sometimes, it’s hard to put your finger on what’s happening in these situations. But some light bulbs will likely go on as you listen to this talk.

What has happened to the church? How did we get here? And what can be done to counter this truly anti-gospel culture?
On this latest podcast, host Julie Roys explores this pervasive problem with Katelyn Beaty, author of ‘Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church.’
In light of scores of people becoming disillusioned with the church, Katelyn describes the historical development of celebrity culture in the church, the three major temptations celebrity culture has spawned and what believers can do to counter celebrity culture in the church.

She’s also a certified trauma support specialist and has a unique ministry, writing about healing, hope, and the way forward for survivors of religious trauma.
Jenai, who is Filipina American, spent more than a decade worshiping and serving in a Texas evangelical church. She says she has seen how persons of color face discrimination in overt and subtle ways.
Speaking vulnerably and lovingly, she offers insights into how white Christians can do a better job of loving and embracing persons of color in their midst.

In this podcast, Doug and Wendy Duncan join me to discuss their journey into—and out of—what they say was an abusive and cultic Christian community. After being taught God was angry and punitive, they had to heal their image of God, and of themselves.
Doug, who’s a professional counselor, explains the hallmarks of thought control and the red flags to look for when exploring a new church. Wendy talks about her process of healing, and how to view God as our Good Shepherd instead of a demanding disciplinarian. Both of them are also contributors to 'Wounded Faith,' our premium for this month.

In part two of this podcast, you’ll hear the narrative Mark Driscoll has been crafting for eight years. This is one in which Driscoll claims he’s a victim—that leaders at Mars Hill had set a trap, and Mark left before they could destroy him.
As clips reveal, fellow megachurch pastors Robert Morris of Gateway Church and Hillsong founder Brian Houston have even platformed Driscoll who shared his narrative. At a Gateway conference, Morris likened criticizing Driscoll to Christians who shoot their wounded.
But former Mars Hill Executive Elder Sutton Turner—an eyewitness to what happened at Driscoll’s megachurch—tells the other side of the story. Turner gives facts and testimony that call into question everything Driscoll is purporting. Similarly, former Mars Hill Elder Miles Rohde gives reasons he believes Driscoll’s latest narrative is fiction.
Tune in to this important podcast, including their warning should Driscoll continue on his path.
