Clemishire says she takes issue with the elder's characterization of Morris's restoration. "He didn't come forward and confess. He was turned in," she said. "When someone is turned in, what are they sorry for? Are they sorry they got caught? #churchtoo

In an email to Gateway Church staff, elders & Robert Morris confirmed the survivor Cindy’s story. He admits to sexually abusing her & doesn’t deny that he offered her money in exchange for her silence. She was 12 years old when the abuse began. That’s a child not a “young lady.”

@bozlawpa The biggest issue I have with this is the conflating of forgiveness with a lack of accountability. Forgiveness does not equal free pass. Culture of honor teachings can mess with how you see forgiveness. Accountability does not mean betrayal. It’s actually love.

The most prophetic thing I’ve seen done in the prayer movement in 20 years has been watching Jane Doe 1, Tammy Woods,TH,the AG, and advocates confront sin in the camp and fight for the vulnerable and for the church. Why? It’s not from a place of manipulation but from love #ihopkc

🚨🚨🚨 The level of manipulation I’m seeing is astounding . It would be wise for all of us to consider what we have been taught and talk to others. My husband and I will be speaking with our pastors ( who also happen to be a trauma informed therapist).

Just hours before Tammy Woods’ interview with the KC Star, Mike Bickle sent her this “script” that he was preparing to use in a video to be made with his wife Diane on January 30th. 🚩 He refuses contact with outside leaders but has no problem running his ideas by one of his

I didn’t *actually* read the Gruen report until october. Lesson learned: Even people you trust and love shouldn’t be the ones to make decisions for you. Do your own research, God gave us minds and intellect. And discernment. #ihopkc #ihopkctoo

As a mother, I am so grieved hearing how this was handled. I want to know how @ihopkc is considering themselves safe to send our 18-25 year olds. We were those young adults; now we have our own coming up. I would NEVER want these experiences for my kids. #ihopkc

Recently, @ihopkc spokesman @EricVolz called me dishonest for not publishing docs IHOPKC provided on his timeline, which allegedly refuted "false narrative" of "rape cover-up at IHOPKC." As you'll see, there's more to story, which took time to report. 1/2

Oh God, on this Good Friday. Please help us as the church. The sexual abuse victims and the spiritual abuse victims at ihop. The ones who have left the faith and the ones that are hanging on a thread due to the lack of care by leaders. Please bind up broken hearts. 💔 #ihopkc

I’m reading books that are light and fun this summer, cooking copycat recipes, and doing an outdoor movie night with the kids tonight. Why ?! Because this stuff with the church is 😵‍💫 And we can’t let crazy drive us crazy. Take care. And remember to find beauty in life. #churchtoo

@reachjulieroys @ihopkc @sstrang @charismamag This is not a true friend then. A true friend would care for Mikes soul and his true wellbeing and family. And the hearts of the community and survivors. Ministry should be way down on the list.

One of the most alarming things I’ve seen through this is seeing people minimizing abuse towards minors because they aren’t children and have now have crossed the puberty threshold. We need to protect our tweens and teens even in church environments. Parents are in charge.

🚩🚩🚩 What Stewart is saying about “secret keeping” is classic grooming behavior. It’s dangerous, I tell my children we don’t keep secrets, we bring it into the light. This is dangerous and puts the safety of believers at risk. Jesus, protect your church! #ihopkc #ihopkctoo

Stewart: "Many of us here, myself included, we want the secret of the Lord. I really believe this, for us to receive the secret of the Lord we must know how to keep the secret of others." 😳😬😅

@ihopkc Make this environment safe for 18-25 year olds and submit yourself to a full review. You won’t touch the fullness of God with abuse being hidden and restitution not being made.

There sure was a lot of talk about prophets and prophecy in the prayer “ movement” and not a lot talk about what prophets actually do which was knowing the word of the Lord and confronting sin, and helping turn people back to God. Prophecy isn’t a magic show 🥴 #ihopkc

@RonSCantor @reachjulieroys I hear people calling this type of work “failure porn” but it’s the wrong way to look at it . I feel like it amplifies truth and the voices of abused who never really get to tell their story because they aren’t on a platform. It also warns and protects the bride.

These Christian organizations don’t get to take the rights away from parents by not disclosing specifics about their leaders sexual offender status. 😩 Parents should know who their children are opening up to and who they are trusting with their kids wellbeing. #churchtoo

@reachjulieroys @PsRobertMorris @GatewayPeople Moral failure. Most of the world calls that pedophilia. But sounds like he is taking the Kanakuk approach and minimizing child sexual predation.
