The spotlight on #ihopkc continues. This is not an isolated “affair” 26 years ago (clergy abuse) And it is not isolated to Mike Bickle. There are real reasons the 2019 GRACE report emphasized IHOP has a culture that proves safer for predators than for victims 💔/1

Here is one recent incident with #BobHartley where he seems to be offering cash for s€x to a woman he doesn't know well & who clearly does not welcome these advances. #ihopkc has stayed silent about Bob, a well-known & connected leader, for years while he abuses women.

@Jedidiahhartley It's extremely concerning that leaders have known and not warned their communities. Assuming this was done out of some sort of self-preservation, this alone makes them bad shepherds.

Mike Bickle’s abuse of the prophetic has ripped off the veil of secrecy many in the prophetic world have shrouded themselves in. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” Read this and @Jedidiahhartley ’s prior post about his father. This is spiritual abuse. #ihopkc

A survivor's "credibility" does not hinge on whether they talk about their trauma the same way every time. There is a pain point for survivors of IHOPKC because of the way victims have been elevated as "credible" based off of social status, morality, or consistency that needs to

For survivors of prolonged, repeated trauma, it is not practical to approach each memory as a separate entity. There are simply too many incidents, and often similar memories have blurred together. Usually, however, a few distinct and particularly meaningful incidents stand out.
