This is inhumane, cruel, and evil. All while this administration continually claims to “uphold Christian values.” There is nothing Christ-like about this. There is nothing human about this. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus
CNN is granted access inside an immigration court hearing where dozens of children facing deportation, some as young as three years old, appealed to stay in the United States. Many of them facing the judge without an attorney representing them.

I received confirmation from Robert Morris CEO of Complete Care urgent care center in Southlake TX that he is the RM who gave Leigh Wambsganss a February 2026 donation. Leigh Wambsganss is MAGA, Trump-endorsed and is an executive with @PatriotMobile and has had very close ties with child sex offender Robert Morris and Gateway Church. She’s running against @TaylorRehmetTX for TX Senate District 9.

You know American Christianity is praying on the street corner to be seen of men when it has an abusive, alcoholic, serial adulterer form & lead an unconstitutional “Office of Religious Affairs” under the authority of a rapist & serial adulterer who can also barely read.
Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"

In the Pawleys Island case, the church has now hired MinistrySafe. 🙄 Among #ChurchToo survivors, many say MinistrySafe is actually more focused on institutional risk management & keeping the ministry safe than it is on protecting kids. #ThisistheSBC wmbfnews.com/2026/08/23/pawl…
Consequences come to Baptistland... and why mugshots bring hope. My column today: It's an update on the Pawleys Island case. #ThisistheSBC #SBCtoo christabrown.substack.com/p/…

For any church that wants training, honest discussion, and real help my friend and fellow survivor @Dave_Pittman @Together_WeHeal is the best gift you could give your church. His wisdom and presence will remain with your people and help to make it safer 💔

If you're shocked Al Mohler is publishing a book with Wilson and Canon Press, you haven't been paying attention to Al Mohler.
Could the SBC be any more tone deaf? Come on, guys. You’re currently hemorrhaging because you just declared a war on women’s voices, and you think buddying up with misogynistic cult leader Doug Wilson is going to help? The guy who calls women harpies and cunts and openly declares that women shouldn’t vote? Like what is actually wrong with you?

#SBCtoo We, your fellow survivors, are here for you and with you.
Dear #SBCtoo survivors: I know many of you are suffering as you watch the deluge of SBC folks saying the abuse crisis was a "hoax" & "manufactured." It's incredibly hurtful. But know this: Your voices are part of the reason for the SBC's decline. Bravo! christabrown.substack.com/p/…

Men Too I’m damn proud of this guy, and the men who dared to blow the whistle on Shawn Bolz. I know these stories have their own complexities. Please know you are not alone. You will find support if you reach for it 🫶🏼

The proof is in the pudding @ChristaBrown777 Matt is just another one of those pretending to be a "good guy" while manipulating things for power. Offers meaningless words to the abused, while granting access to money and control to the perpetrators and enablers. Typical
"I beg you to consider dropping everything or reducing the charge so he can continue serving as a minister." From the start, Matt Henslee wanted EVERYTHING against Matt Queen dropped. As tho lying to the FBI in a sex abuse probe was no big deal. #ThisistheSBC (ht @ThouArtTheMan)

When it comes to disclosure of abuse @mrvaldez__ has it 💯 spot-on. "You are doing this for you" All of us survivors would benefit from holding this close. It's not your job to save others (though that may occur). It's not your job to convict perps (though it might happen) 1/2
It’s not even a month and I can tell you, I have never felt more isolated and activated in my trauma than I ever have before. And that’s okay. One piece of advice I’d give anybody especially Men (who tend to isolate more) who are willing to be public about their abuser like I have chosen to with Ryan Doezie, is to make sure you practice spending time by yourself. Get comfortable with you. You’re doing this for you. Not anyone else’ Some days, that’s all you feel you have left too. You. And whatever sense of self you have left, maybe God’s wisdom can help repair or mend whatever was lost. Take responsibility. It can be really scary to try to go through a public disclosure of your personal life and its gory details, but the shame and guilt are not yours. You’re not a bad human being for using your voice, especially when people try to silence or control you❤️‍🔥

When people ask me, "Why don't you talk about the positives?" I think of this fellow survivor who has to see this... When organizations like @kanakuk stop flaunting their harm, then we can talk Stop sending children to this godforsaken place! Get the truth here 👀@KanakukFacts
I was habitually abused in the “party barn” at @kanakuk. Now alumni are gathering there to celebrate?

I'm with you, Isaiah. So many people confuse/conflate trauma w/ memories. Trauma isn't recalling or remembering, it's reliving a horror as if it's happening again. And again. And again. That's why therapy is SO important for those who've been victimized. Here with and for you👊
Look, in a perfect world, people who are hurting will always ask for help, they get it, and they heal. But that’s not how trauma works. It comes in waves. It revisits you, pulls you under, and forces you to reprocess it again and again. That’s why therapy exists. Oh, how I wish I could escort some know-it-all scumbags (older than me) to their first therapy session. So they can see the gift that life is simply not all about their projections. Maybe it’s your rose-colored lenses you never took off and now you’re forcing the rest of us to see through them. No thanks pal! That’s why people leave churches. That’s why they find new ones. Sorry, not sorry. New Cult Leaders. And their issues will follow them to Scotland, Canada or Israel. Earth is the same place. Because if I were a cult leader getting exposed… I would ask myself these questions… was I building bridges or burning them? Cult leaders burn all the bridges to their hearts and the hearts of others because their followers are Binded to The Cause. Institution over people. The Institution is only An Idea. A mere representation. It’s the people that matter. But some people just want to Get To the Other Side” without doing the work. Call it, Sanctification maybe. That’s what your Bible Says. Otherwise, you end up using others to stay healthy… to appear wise. Cults gonna cult. Anyways… I’m just opening up my heart here again on X and I think the point of this post is right here: When you do leave a cult, please understand this 1 thing. It will save you from a lot of hell: People are more important than our ideas. Your ideas, or your so-called “truth”, don’t matter more than someone’s life. Our beliefs can empower us. To forgive. To love To understand To have compassion mercy and grace for others. That’s the gift. That’s the point of the gospel. It’s meant to set us free. Not… We Set Ourselves Free. Our hatred for “the other side” is what keeps us divided. Not someone’s X account. Not a post about you. It’s your mind

.@rickpidcock writes an insightful exposé. One that supporters of JMac will hate. Not because it's not true but because their loyalty to JMac outweighs reason & truth. Fealty to a man in a Christian environment is one of the most dangerous fealties of all baptistnews.com/article/john…

Wow. Every time I think Basham's depravity reaches a new low, she finds a way to sink lower. The lives lost or destroyed because of lies and abuse of power during that time are atrocious. Whether she's ignorant of history or that she knows & believes what she says? Oh, she knows
