Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the most transformative figure in the history of NY City politics.
He pulled off an economic and public safety miracle in a relatively short amount of time, and the city rose from the dead. I worked for the NYPD during the end of his second term. It was the honor of a lifetime. I pray he pulls through this. The world needs more of him.
Any season of transition can be difficult. The narratives and communications circulating about us on social media over the past few days have made this season even more difficult for us and our family.
We want to express our deep gratitude for the twelve years we spent at Reformation Bible College and Ligonier Ministries. We are thankful for that time and for the people we had the privilege to serve. We also appreciate that both RBC and Ligonier have conducted themselves in an amicable, gracious, and honorable manner during this season of transition, and we have sought to do the same.
Since others have shared their version of events, we believe it is appropriate to share ours.
In January 2024, we learned from the counselor of our daughter, Grace, that he had submitted a report to the Florida Department of Children and Families of suspicion of sexual abuse of Grace by Stephen Adams. On January 10, 2025, we reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter by Stephen Adams to Saint Andrew’s Chapel. Over subsequent meetings, we realized that we were at an impasse with our church and that we had different perspectives on how to handle this situation. On April 21, 2025, we notified a pastor at Saint Andrew’s that we would begin the process of finding a new church. We notified him again on July 20, 2025, that it would be our last Sunday (and it was). We each received separate indictments two days later, July 22, 2025. We were accused of slander, unresolved anger, collusion to deceive, failure to follow session directives, and breach of membership vows. There was never a trial, and our case was never adjudicated.
After Saint Andrew’s Chapel voted to disassociate from the PCA on December 14, 2025, we immediately resigned our memberships. On Sunday evening, December 14, we joined New Hope PCA in Eustis, Florida, by testimony. On January 27, 2026, Saint Andrew’s found us guilty of contumacy, which is the failure to submit to the authority of the church and refusal to appear before the church. Afterwards on February 25, 2026, at their request, we met with a committee of the session to answer any questions and hopefully bring some resolution to our differences. On March 10, 2026, Saint Andrew’s excommunicated us, not on the underlying indictments, but for contumacy.
We remain members in good standing at New Hope and are grateful for the love, care, and support of our pastors and our church during this season.
We reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter, we ended up indicted, and we ended up excommunicated.
We are deeply saddened by all that has taken place and grieved for everyone involved. Our prayer and hope is that the central issue will not be lost. At the heart of this issue is the suspected sexual abuse of our daughter.

After fourteen years at @Ligonier and more than 1,000 episodes of Renewing Your Mind, I’m stepping into a new season.
I’m deeply grateful for the people, the places, the conversations, and the many evidences of the Lord’s kindness along the way.
It has been a privilege to serve, to learn, and to help carry forward a teaching ministry that has meant so much to me and to so many. God used @RCSproul in countless lives, and I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to serve alongside him.
I’m looking forward to a brief season of rest with my family and am hopeful for what is ahead. I would value your prayers as I seek the Lord’s direction for this next chapter.
Grace and peace.
