There is a law called mandated reporting if children are involved. A person who has knowledge of abuse has to report it by law. As for being cynical, perhaps it is a result of discouraging critical thought by believers, often people are ostracized for asking honest questions about leadership and doctrine. Thanks for talking about these issue. Good discussion
Very good point about ostracizing critical thinking… somehow in charismatic spheres we act like God only made half of the brain! And anytime a crime was committed it has to be reported - immediately.
Thank you so much for this podcast. Johnny's sharing about the perspective of good churches outnumbering the mega ones is a word in due season for me. I idolized a young on-fire priest and discovered things weren't what they seemed to be, which led me to look at the unending scandals in the Catholic Church. The unhealthy structure of secrecy and lack of accountability has nearly shipwrecked my faith. There are those within trying to bring things to light, but it is a tough and sometimes lonely battle. Thank you for both of you - your wisdom, your ministries, and your heartfelt prayers!
Thank you! I know for sure it doesn't. One time in travailing prayer Jesus shared with me the intense pain of His heart over all this. It was only a brief, couple of seconds of unbearable ache I felt physically. 🙏💔
I’ve had a similar experience at a low point after enduring spiritual abuse- the Lord showed me how He had been rejected too… and it actually made me feel closer to Jesus

I’m so sorry you went through that! Just remember, it doesn’t represent God‘s heart
