This is my son's story. I have cried more tears than I can count over this, but we continue to pray that justice would done.
In case you're wondering, his abuser's name is John Herrmann of Chester, VA.
Hah, you think she's bad? You should've seen me. Addict, drunkard, liar, fornicator, thief, killer, you name it, I probably did it, but God.....
But God saved a wretch like me and He will continue to save the next generation of wretches until Christ returns.
Christians believe this woman can truly be saved,
The naivety of conservative Christians is driving more people towards atheism and Islam.
The same naivety that is making your society crumble.

Praise God, my wife had a 2 year old daughter when we met, that little girl is now 20 and it's been the greatest honor of my life to get to be her Dad.
When you take a swing at BigEva, like
@megbasham
has done, it's never the person you took a swing at who comes for you, it's always someone adjacent to them.
Take a swing at Russell Moore, here comes his co-pastor Gavin Ortlund. Take a swing at JD Greear, you get Neil Shenvi.

1 Cor 8:6, 2 Cor 3:17, 2 Cor. 13:14, Col 2:9, Isa. 9:6, 44:6, John 1:14, John 10:30, Luke 1:35, Matt 1:23, Matt. 28:19, Matt 3:16-17, John 14:16-17, I mean I could go on.
Either the Trinity is real or God is a liar in Isa. 44:6 and God cannot lie.
15 years ago today, God delivered me from my addiction to alcohol. It wasn't a program or 12 steps that saved me, although those helped, it was the transforming work of Jesus Christ. Soli Deo Gloria.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, I'd like to help.

She's not trying to be a pastor, she's an investigative journalist who's doing great work. Show me any man who's done half of what she has. She is Deborah to the Platform's Barak.
At least tag
@megbasham
if you're gonna talk about her.
It never ceases to amaze me, so many of those who apostatize, whether that be charismatics like Gungor or people like Derek Webb or this woman, were once a part of the worship team.
Pastors, if you have a worship team, I have an idea for you: A requirement for participation
5 years ago my daughter went deaf in one ear and we were worried it might be a tumor. As we awaited scans we comforted her by playing sermons and shows from

Doesn't matter, instead of showing contrition for poor behavior he acted like a narcissist.

@megbasham
Absolutely, and many of us also remember how Megan was one of the few to report on what happened to you guys. It's clear that this is her character and the church should be grateful for her.
@ronhenzel
@megbasham
That's all right Ron, we visited a PCA church a week ago, I asked one of the Pastors if they were more Keller or Sproul, and he proceeded to tell me how Sproul and his followers didn't believe in evangelism and how they had a pastor on staff that it took a year to get ordained...
At Apple, we believe that climate change is one of the world’s most urgent priorities and we are deeply committed to doing our part. Today we had a special guest—a real force of nature—stop by to check on our progress.
@William_E_Wolfe
Anyone who worked in or around the Pro-Life movement has known it was a grift for years. I'm sorry to welcome everyone else to the party, but it's why Abolition is the only solution.
@farmingandJesus
Wow, good for you. It took me about 18 months of trying and failing to stay sober. Not anywhere close to 30 days and I still find new stuff to get addicted to if I'm not careful.
@abbythelibb_
Yup, as husband and father of 3, these young men are rightfully frustrated, but there's nothing masculine about attacking or treating your very pregnant wife poorly. NOTHING.
True masculinity is rejecting emotionalism. Who cares about your feelings, take care of your wife and

Says the guy with a graven image as his profile picture. Paul Washer is my brother in Christ, by grace and grace alone.
Biblical manhood has nothing to do with guns or weightlifting, but that doesn't mean that either are bad or can't be a very positive thing.
I don't know why this is so hard.
@farmingandJesus
Putin and Zelensky are both awful, and I don't want to send my son to die for either Ukraine or Russia. It's really not hard to understand.
@HwsEleutheroi
If you don't think conversion is a miracle: I was a drunk and an addict when I came to Christ. It is hard for me to fully portray what an absolute mess I was, but my sin was just more obvious. We are ALL sinners & anyone who denies the miracle of conversion doesn't understand sin
@OkieFBfan
Lots of new people to follow in the SEC but
@BarrettSallee
ain't one of them. Buy a map. Is Dallas not full of prospects? And what's the closest big-time football school to DFW? All OU has done is win for 70 years and last year had the 3rd highest revenue in the sport.
@ScottCross_8
Yeah, although he's a brother in Christ and probably knows far more than me, I'm not for anyone putting their name on a Bible, seems a bit much.
@megbasham
Absolutely, the same Jesus who meets people in their brokenness, flipped tables and whipped people.
Christianity exists in tension and where people typically fall into heterodox or heretical views is when they abandon that tension for one side or the other.
@farmingandJesus
Luther gets too much credit for the Reformation. Really it wasn't about one Reformation, it was multiple Reformations. Luther in Germany. Zwingli in Switzerland. Calvin in Geneva. Knox in Scotland. And ALL of them were flawed and fallible men.
@farmingandJesus
In the end, the Dixie Chicks haven't been relevant since their spat with TK or their anti-American rhetoric, so to me, it's a reminder that TK won. Rest easy Toby.
@SlowToWrite
Hey brother, people who matter don't mind, and people who mind don't matter. My son is 17 and it still pains me to discipline him, I just love him so much, but he's needed since he was about 2 weeks old.
@LateKickJosh
1. It's not true, they'll pay when they can.
2. LSU has a long history of buying players.
3. It's lazy, you lost some recruiting battles don't blame 'taking a bag' like you're on a message board.
@MikeWingerii
My favorite thing about Popes and Romanists, no one can tell you when they're speaking ex cathedra, and they don't have to announce it ahead of time.
Seems like this really conflicts with Deuteronomy.
Want to say thank you to
@DrPhil
for having my daughter on to discuss AI in education. So proud of her and how she has used adversity for good.
(Yes she's single. Tell me about why you love Jesus to be considered.)
@JessupShannon
Don't get it twisted, this is my idea, it's not Scripture and women should not be filling roles the Bible forbids them from filling.
But yes, starting with pastors themselves.
@NeilShenvi
Neil, a difference in interpretation is NOT a factual error.
Your pastor speaks out of both sides of his mouth, just because someone took him at his word out of one side, does not mean that the other side disproves it.
@GinnaCross
I have two in college in one in high school. Here's what the culture won't tell you: Cherish every moment. My time is almost up and I want to do it again, but with less me-time and less complaining.

As a Baptist I would like you to know that the Baptist denomination was founded on "Calvinism" and was strictly Calvinistic for the first 200+ years it existed.
Unfortunately,
@megbasham
's Shepherds For Sale is not a truthful or helpful book for the church in our time. Here I show the problems and tactics involved in her critique of me in chapter 1.
Doing a quick search of SBC churches within 10 miles of my house I found 5 churches that have women serving as pastors/ministers.

How do I report this to the SBC?
In response to

I went and listened to JD Greear talk so that you can be spared. I find that

@NeilShenvi
@RuslanKD
@megbasham
It was clear to me from the speech that he is using homosexuality and other sins as for instances to show that he's supposedly not getting soft on issues. I don't know where the Calvinism piece is coming from, listening to JD's nonsense again in its entirety. God help me. /1
@farmingandJesus
If you interact with new believers do all you can to make sure they are being discipled and plugged into a good church. This is the area to be pushy, not about the genuiness of their conversion.
@Alicia_Bittle_
I'm not sure who told you that, but the Eastern Orthodox church and the Ethiopian church have always existed outside of Rome.
And even since the Papists started claiming some kind of special authority under Hildebrand, groups like the Waldensians have been a near constant until
@Janet_Mefferd
Janet, I respect you, but I think you're wrong here. I've been through Megan's quotes in question and I don't find an issue with them, in fact, I think they're accurate and I'm not alone. People like Os Guinness, Tom Buck, John MacArthur and a host of others have all endorsed.

I once drank an entire bar out of Johnny Walker, they had to make a special order, because all of Cocaine I was using allowed me to drink so much. (For anyone in Richmond, the bar was Banditos, it's a good sized bar.)
I have been arrested multiple times.
I was in a gang, and
@BiblicalBeauty
This is really good sister. It's Legalism, plain and simple. you're taking God's law and adding to it.
Like Paul, I am chief amongst all sinners. And yet, Christ died for me, my sin now serves to glorify Christ.
@JoshDaws
I agree.
That being said, the proper application of the US Constitution does protect us, the problem is not the document, but rather they way in which our government has run roughshod over it.

Important to note, growing a beard and saying incendiary things on the Interwebs, does not make you masculine or tough. One is a result of chromosomes, the other is the result of immaturity.
@autocorrect2_0
God blessed me with a lot. There is nothing good in me, but Him.
It's funny, my daughter looks a lot like me, and it's kind of an honor that most people in our lives don't know she's my step daughter. Not that I hide it, but we just don't act that way.
