Well said, Janet! It’s not too much to ask for us leaders to be held to a certain standard. And when certain standards are not met to be handled appropriately.

Sweeping sin under the rug to protect church leaders is not the answer and it perpetuates damage.

By the way, so grateful you had an amazing example of a Youth Pastor. So often we only hear the failure stories. Refreshing to hear how he honored God and shepherded well 🙏 Love it!

I'm really sad to hear about Tom Buck's plagiarism and the attempt by him and others to sweep it under the rug. As usual, your analysis is spot on and I appreciated your article a lot.

In other words, you get gaslighted by church people.
