This type of disordered submission is also an open pit for inappropriate conduct from the esteemed leader. The level of trust knows no boundaries and can be a huge inroad to sexual abuse.
I just read the two chapters you sent and can so relate to what you went through. I also had to finally say a few things as I couldn’t let folks on my socials think all of us Jesus followers agreed with what was going on and I said that and folks I hadn’t heard from in years in churches I’d served in came out of the woodwork to attack. It’s been as you know painful and sobering and mostly sad and honestly just baffling to me. I believe I’ve used the word baffling in context with the evangelical churches and the friends and family I had in those churches more in the past 8 years than ever before. It has pretty much broken my heart. I know others in the same boat and I’m sorry you had to go through that too.
So so excited! I feel like I haven’t been around for that long, but I plan to be around for as long as I can! I cannot wait for your book to show up in the mail!

And other kinds of abuse!

Thank you, Terry! Writing the book really helped me sort through all of that and come out in a better place, I hope!
