So far, ten times more people have read Jen Lyell's obituary on the CT site than have read our article previewing the SBC annual meeting. Survivors' stories won't be a focus here, but I keep running into people who want to talk about her life and legacy. christianitytoday.com/2025/06/died-s…

“My biggest concern for the church is that we will see the abuse revelations and resulting conversations as some sort of cultural phenomenon that we need to ride out instead of recognizing it as a movement of God to purify and protect his bride.” Jen Lyell christianitytoday.com/2019/05/sbc-ab…

The year was 2010. We had a new admission that day at the long term care facility. Admissions were always exciting but also stressful for staff. Are they coming willingly ? Is the family making this decision? Have they exhausted all other avenues ? Will they adapt quickly ?

Speak Midwestern 101: “We’ll see” - not coming “I’ll let you know” - I will not “Hmm not sure yet” - very sure about not coming to that thing “I’ll see if we can make it work” - it will not “I’ll think about it” - nothing to think about and not going to happen


Beautiful.

🧵 1️⃣ When my in-laws booked their flight to Berlin (which would be their first trip abroad), my husband and I told them, “We can get a cheap flight or train ticket to almost anywhere. Where in Europe would you like to go?” Without hesitating, my father-in-law said, “Lorraine.”

It's been my absolute privilege to work with these three survivors for almost a year to reach this point. Their voices are powerful. UK's conduct since the first warning in 2012, must be reckoned with. NONE of these survivors should have ever met Lars...

Last June, Kentucky announced Lars Jorgensen's resignation in a press release. No reason was given for his exit. It went unsaid that one former Kentucky swimmer reported enduring “years of sexual assault, abuse and harassment” by Jorgensen to the school.

Hey @Safeway I’m giving you a last chance to respond before we dig in: Your entire system of “discounts” and “specials” requires apps, taking photos, scanning and so many other things that people like my blind mother can’t possibly participate in. By your own advertisements, 1/

Hi Aubrey! Thanks for reaching out. You changed your voter registration on the last day of voter registration (Feb. 20) from your Chandler address to your new Tempe address. Because early ballots must go out on Feb. 21, your Chandler ballot was already set to go out, and…


He called it in 2012.

We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.

Michael is deployed serving our country, something you know nothing about. Someone who continually disrespects the sacrifices of military families has no business being commander in chief.

Trump on Haley: Where's her husband? Oh, he's away. He's away! What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband. Where is he? He's gone.

Her husband is currently deployed abroad, serving in the United States Armed Forces. This is low, gratuitous and gross. Don’t defend this.

Trump attacks Nikki Haley's husband: "Where's her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He's gone."

A little over a year ago I became aware a SBC executive level leader had previously shared his own story of being approached by Paul Pressler in circumstances and w/specifics very similar to some of those in the accusations by Rollins and others. This leader was NOT -cont

On Larry Nassar and Paul Pressler, Michigan State University, USAG and the SBC, and all the ways they are different… There are so many unsung heroes in my case. . .people that lent their voices, provided pieces of the puzzle, helped put away a predator, that no one knows about.



"But we need to get it right. Paul Pressler's victims--our victims--deserved better. As we did it to them, we did it to Jesus."

What the SBC ought to say: We are absolutely devastated at the reality that a terrible sexual predator, Paul Pressler, has abused an unknown number of boys and men in our ranks, on top of hijacking and controlling our convention for most of the last 45 years. May his money…



All of this. How hurtful it is that church leadership knew and did not stand with victims.

🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.
