- 251: Hannah Kay | Survivor Prom
Support SURVIVOR PROM: https://survivor-prom.causevox.com/
Survivor Prom is an unforgettable experience put together by Survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry.
Every year thousands of children are taken out of the safety and comfort of their homes and transported into congregate care facilities, often labeled "Troubled Teen" facilities. Survivors of these programs report horrific emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. And in addition to mourning what they experienced INSIDE the program, Survivors also mourn the experiences they were robbed of during the most formidable and impactful years of their lives.
Survivor Prom is Prom. It's a party. Thrown in honor of adults who have endured so much, that they may reclaim just one small part of their teenage dream.
Please consider a monetary gift today to the Survivors making Prom a reality.

In this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, host Eric talks to Lauren Eggers about her experiences growing up in the Independent Fundamental Baptist church.
While Lauren's early experiences in the IFB church were largely positive, she started to discover that the world around her was far from perfect.
In this episode, we talk about:
– attending Hyles Anderson College after the Schaap incident
– the failure of the "Jericho Program"
– the severe expectations on women in the IFB
– Lauren's traumatic experience with a man who disregarded her wishes and took advantage of her, and the difficulty of sharing that with others.
I appreciate Lauren bravely sharing her story and I know it will encourage all who listen!

Purchase a copy of She Deserves Better: https://amzn.to/40NMYZz
Armed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire--the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime your daughter for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep her from setting healthy boundaries.
Instead, the authors advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who can navigate the tumultuous teenage years while still clinging tightly to Jesus.
You can raise your daughter with the discernment to resist toxic teachings. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small.
Sheila Wray Gregoire is the face behind BareMarriage.com, an award-winning author, and a sought-after speaker. Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach is a psychology graduate, Sheila's daughter, and the author of Why I Didn't Rebel. Joanna Sawatsky has a master's degree in public health and is a trained microbiologist, epidemiologist, and biostatistician.

Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy40m | Apr 9, 2023 - 248: Bob Jones University Chairman of the Board Resigns
In episode #246, we discussed the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, president of Bob Jones University in South Carolina.
Pettit took office in 2014, a year after a GRACE report that revealed how the college's leadership had mishandled numerous cases of abuse that occurred both on and off campus.
Survivors claimed that in cases that took place at the school, proper authorities were not notified, and in many cases, victims in counseling at BJU were blamed for bringing the abuse on themselves.
Many people hoped that Pettit's appointment would bring about much-needed change. However, on March 31, 2023, almost nine years after taking office, Pettit resigned from BJU.
Just a few days before his resignation, he wrote a five-page letter that revealed several concerning issues about Dr. John Lewis, Chairman BJU's board of trustees.
Pettit accused Lewis of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership, adopting a posture of secrecy and hostility toward the board and the administration. He also claimed that Lewis interfered with the reporting of a sexual harassment case to the school's designated Title IX coordinator, among other things. Pettit threatened to resign if Lewis remained in office.
In a surprising turn of events, on April 6, Dr. John Lewis tendered his resignation as well.
Dr. Steve Pettit (whose official final day at BJU is May 5th) issued a statement regarding Lewis’ resignation, saying,
“Late this afternoon, I was notified that Bob Jones University Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. John Lewis has resigned from the Board of Trustees effective immediately. He has served BJU for 32 years as a board member and seven years as chairman. His desire was to honor the mission and vision of BJU and he worked tirelessly to that end. During his tenure, the University secured regional accreditation through SACSCOC and regained our tax exemption. I wish Dr. Lewis God’s best.”
The reason for Lewis’ resignation has not immediately been given – it’s also unclear whether Lewis’ resignation will affect Pettit’s decision to resign.
Regardless, it's clear that change is coming to Bob Jones University.

On this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, Eric Skwarczynski chats with IBLP survivor Emily Elizabeth Anderson about Jinger Duggar Vuolo's new book, Becoming Free Indeed.
In this episode, Emily shares her thoughts on the book and its portrayal of the dangerous theology of Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).
Emily talks about how she appreciated Jinger's specific references to the implications of Gothard's teachings and stories, even if they weren't directly stated in IBLP materials. However, Emily also raises concerns about Jinger's continued reluctance to hold her parents accountable for their role in her upbringing.
Another issue discussed in the episode is Jinger's problematic association with John MacArthur and her privileged position as a celebrity in evangelical culture. Emily brings up the experiences of other women who may have had different, less fortunate experiences.
Finally, Emily and Eric delve into Jinger's word choice and whether or not she accurately labeled IBLP as a cult.
Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation on the Preacher Boys podcast.

In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric Skwarczynski talks about the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, the president of Bob Jones University.
The resignation comes after Pettit wrote a five-page letter accusing Dr. John Lewis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership. Pettit also claims that Lewis has taken actions to obstruct and impede the university's Title XI investigation into a sexual harassment case.
Pettit's resignation is a shocking development, given the hope many placed in him to bring positive change to the institution after the GRACE report revealed the mishandling of abuse cases at the university in the early 2010s.
Eric reads much of Pettit's letter verbatim and discusses the implications of these allegations.

In this episode, host Eric Skwarczynski provides a scathing critique of a horrific sermon delivered by Evangelist Dean McNeese. McNeese refuses to call out predators by name, despite knowing their identities and instead promotes the idea of restoration for presumed predators.
Furthermore, McNeese states that God will kill those who call out pastors "the wrong way," even if the pastor is morally wrong. These dangerous and harmful beliefs have no place in any religious institution and must be challenged and exposed.
Join us as we delve deep into the disturbing world of toxic ministry and the individuals who perpetuate it. Don't miss this eye-opening episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast.

I thought we had closed the book on Josh Duggar after his sentencing in 2022, but his name has popped back up in the news once again.
For anyone who isn’t familiar with the story thus far – Josh Duggar, of 19 Kids and Counting fame has been at the center of numerous scandals.
In 2015, it was revealed that he had molested several of his sisters when he was a teenager.
In 2019, Duggar was arrested on charges of possessing child sexual abuse materials.
He was eventually found guilty in December 2021 and sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.
But on March 17, 2023, a new development emerged.
According to Insider, the original date set for Duggar’s release was August 12, 2032.
However, recent online prison records show that he is now set to be released on October 2, 2032.
No confirmed reason for the change has been made public, however, according to Fox News, Josh Duggar has been placed in solitary confinement for being caught with a contraband cellphone.
Regardless of the reason for the change in Duggar's sentence, this news is significant. It means that he will spend more time in prison than originally expected - 51 days to be exact.
My personal opinion? The more time the better.

In this episode, we're delving into the controversial figure of Greg Locke, the pastor of Global Vision Bible Church in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. You may remember that last year, in February 2021, Locke hosted a book burning at his church, which garnered significant media attention.
Since then, Locke has become more mainstream and has built relationships with more reputable evangelicals, including Eric Metaxas. He now has a large following and is known for his controversial views on vaccines and masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Locke's latest focus is on deliverance ministry, where he claims to cast out demons.
Locke's latest film, "Come Out in Jesus' Name," was recently released through Fathom Events and hit number four in the box office on Monday, March 13th, 2023. The film made approximately one million dollars and was screened in 766 theaters nationwide – and there are some wild videos of "exorcisms" and "demons" – (AKA screaming people thrashing around on the floors of the theaters.)

Whenever I say the phrase "Purity Culture is Rape Culture," my DMs and comments explode with angry people asking why I'm attacking people who decide to practice abstinence.
I thought I'd explain what I mean when I say this phrase in this short video.
Purity Culture is much bigger than the mere concept of abstinence – it's a toxic CULTURE that generally places the weight of all sexual violation or perceived wrongdoing on the shoulders of women while alleviating all responsibility on the man's part.

On this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric sits down with Elizabeth Saenz a former student at Harvest Baptist Bible College in Fort Dodge Iowa.
We talk about the strange environment at the church and college, as well as the recent scandal involving Jordan Webb – who she knew early on at Mountain View Baptist Church in Hesperia, CA, then reconnected with at college.
Ex-Missionary Jordan Webb was arrested on April 25 at the Fort Dodge home of Cameron Giovanelli, a registered sex offender. According to testimony from Webster County Attorney’s Office Investigator Larry Hedlund, Webb had also been driving Giovanelli’s car that week.
He was charged with second-degree sexual abuse with persons under the age of 12 (a Class B Felony) and incest (a Class D Felony), as well as child endangerment (an Aggravated Misdemeanor).
Marvin Smith IV, assistant pastor and missions director at Harvest Baptist Church submitted a letter in support of Webb for his bond hearing.
In a text message conversation submitted into evidence by the state, Smith said to Webb, "I'm going to need to write a check to you for the lawyer fee. Pastor said it will look better than the church being responsible for extra costs after the $25,000."

Purchase a copy of Celebrities for Jesus here: https://amzn.to/3S0DWng
Many Christian leaders use their fame and influence to great effect. Whether that popularity resides at the local church level or represents national or international influence, many leaders have effectively said to their followers, "Follow me as I follow Christ." But fame that is cultivated for its own sake, without attendant spiritual maturity and accountability, has a shadow side that runs counter to the heart of the gospel. Celebrity--defined as social power without proximity--has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits.
In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty explores the ways fame has reshaped the American church, explains how and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement, and identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years. She shows us how evangelical culture is uniquely attracted to celebrity gurus over and against institutions, and she offers a renewed vision of ordinary faithfulness, helping us all keep fame in its proper place.
