Be patient. Trust takes time. Friendship takes time. INTIMACY is NOT the same thing as OVERSHARING.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

(Got derailed by some business meetings. . .cont:) We also have to grapple with the intersection of race here. Minority communities are particularly vulnerable to exploitation and violence, and bear an even higher cost for these types of teachings. It matters. It's dangerous.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

But you turn a deaf ear, and further malign the advocates and women raising their voices.

Your words, your teachings, your actions matter. The messages you send and imply and the culture it creates, matters. Real people pay the price.

I am devastated.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

We have been pleading with you and begging you to see and hear what you are really communicating and the very real dangers it poses to women - the way it enables and minimizes abuse, and even encourages violence in unhinged people who take your positions to extreme conclusions.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

It is in the way you treated and criticized Beth Moore, Aimee Byrd, Rachel Green Miller. Me. It is in how you defamed Jen Lyell, refused to hear Jules Woodson. It is how Paige Patterson treated Megan and "Jane". It is in how "Jane" was treated by John McArthur.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

This is happening in your pulpits, in your seminaries, in your counseling programs. It is in your marriage books, your books on womanhood and manhood, it is in your counseling sessions. It is in your purity books and discussions. It is in your social media.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

How you teach gender roles, and how you talk about women, how you sexualize them as temptations or dangers, matters. It can be life and death.

The way you indirectly blame women for abuse, lust, assault, "temptation", can be life and death.

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

The man who murdered women in a massage parlor yesterday says he was "eliminating temptation" because he had a sex addiction.

He was a baptized member of an SBC church.

Brothers. Pastors. Seminary heads. How you teach sexuality matters. It can be life and death...

Don’t stop believing because of someone else’s failure.

People fail. God doesn’t.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I do not believe loyalty to the leader(s) should be a core value of any ministry or church. Honesty, integrity, transparency, equity, financial accountability are among solid core values. But the Christian’s loyalty is to CHRIST. The leaders themselves need to echo that often.

@jordan_stratton @_graceloves Exactly why we shouldn’t be eating pop-tarts. 😂😂😂

Complaining kept the children of Israel from the promised land, and it can keep you from yours.

I just cannot recommend Jesus enough.

[Jessie Cal @jessc_rn]

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. https://t.co/JHLLs6ZQFd

“And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women” - Tupac

[Lecrae @lecrae]

I’m always so confused with people who think anti-racism = being political. Racism is more than an intent to discriminate. It can also be unconscious bias and structural inequality. Jesus is anti-racist.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

There are so many people on here I love. So many people who make me think and learn and laugh. But I’m going to tell you guys something. If I hang out here too much, I start thinking Twitter is representative of the world and it’s not. Pace yourself. This place is a crazy-maker.
