Bringing our board member Eric Isaac’s newly minted & published definition of spiritual abuse to all my fave blueskies
We are currently 12 dollars away from hitting 400.00! Who has $12 to help an Arizona immigrant/Dreamer family that is pursuing legal options for safety and security? Let’s keep this ball rolling and meet this need!
Hello! We have an urgent community need. A DACA recipient who is known to us has been facing increasingly pointed “encouragement” to self deport. 80% of US adults support legal pathways for Dreamers. Join us in helping to ease the burden on this family as they seek safety. 1/

318.00 left and we are done with funding this family’s need. In one hour we are almost done 😭

guys help me do this before T Swift takes over our algorithms
Alright y’all. We’ve done this before can we do it again? A single car family just had their car marked for repossession for late payments. They need 1400.00 or they lose the vehicle which is the transportation for work and their 6 kids to and from school. Can we meet this need?

In 40 min we covered more than half of this need! Can we finish it out tonight so I can call over with them in the morning and satisfy their payment? A total of 643.00 left to raise!

It’s time for us to have a serious conversation about bolstering and how it is being used as a weapon against whistleblowers in the deconstruction, exevangelical, religious trauma spaces.

I wrote a small article diving deeper into the ways I have seen this behavior play out 👇

This is the only engagement I have seen from Laura Anderson surrounding some serious allegations. I’m disheartened that more leaders, especially mental health professionals, in the religious trauma space are not speaking up for the sake of survivors who are seeing this behavior modeled.

As it turns out, the inclusive-sounding bumper stickers on the bus don’t make it less heavy when it crunches over our poor ol’ bones.

There’s a pile of dead bodies behind the exevangelical influencer bus
One of the biggest names in the progressive Christian and ex-evangelical world of religious trauma coaching has been found in violation of the AAMFT Code of Ethics. She was also the mediator mentioned in the GRACE Report of The New Evangelicals. Seven women shared their stories about her with me.

The letter from the AAMFT Ethics Committee says Anderson was found in violation of two substandards of the Code of Ethics.

Sharing James’s story out of the Austin Stone with you today. We have had the privilege to learn who James is over the past year and we couldn’t be more honored to stand with him as he speaks up about his experience.

“He loved God’s word” is a wild claim for someone who hated God’s Image bearers.

It’s real obvious who is just tuning into @bbtbpod based on their response in reviews to Jay & I being affirming. This is not a new thing for us as people or as a podcast.

I don’t have the words yet, or maybe it’s the courage, to confront what this political era means for so many of us juggling family dynamics. The lines in the sand grow deeper and clearer 💔

This 10min episode had me sobbing in my car. It's a beautifully put together review of White Christian American brutality of the 'other'.
How can this be acceptable?

Ben’s story is out now! Continually impressed by the integrity of the storytellers in this series out of Austin Stone. It is an honor to be able to share in bringing them to light.

If y’all listen to the pod and find this work helpful would you mind taking a min to review us? We don’t monetize and do not market-the pod’s reach is reliant on listeners sharing and reviewing. Thanks for being on this journey with us! And if you have feedback feel free to email

The first story out of our series from Austin Stone dropped today. Thank you to B for sharing her experience and reminding us the damage that happens when we value people for what they give and not who they are.

Don’t try to make it make sense. Just accept that we are mere phantasms in the mind of a deranged narcissistic psychopath.
Trump went from suggesting "regime change" in Iran to congratulating that same regime and saying "Good bless Iran" in one day

40% of homes have a firearm.

Kids know where they are.

Asking “are they locked up” can save lives.
Summer means more time at home for kids—and, sadly, a spike in firearm injuries.

Medical providers: now’s the time to ask about gun storage.
Conversations about secure storage can prevent unintentional shootings and suicides during these high-risk months.

Asking saves lives.

Talk a little about the processing I’ve been doing since being in Dallas on the ep today. It’s been heavy to say the least

Dropped an ep discussing my time out front of the SBC annual meeting and the newest revelations about Jeff Iorg’s treatment of survivors. Links in comments 👇 “The SBC Is Still Failing Survivors” now streaming
