Sean Feucht’s Tour Bus Hit After Drunk Driver Runs Red Light

June 9, 2023

Sean Feucht’s “Kingdom to the Capitol” tour is scheduled to make stops in Richmond, Virginia; Annapolis, Maryland; and Dover, Delaware, this weekend. However, while the tour’s two bus drivers were driving from Nashville to meet the worship leader at Virginia’s Capitol building early Friday morning, the front of Feucht’s tour bus was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light.

“A drunk driver just smashed into our tour bus hours outside of Richmond, Virginia. Thankfully everyone is OK,” Feucht tweeted. “Police are on the scene taking the guy away but damage is bad and the door won’t shut. All our gear is there for this weekend! Pray for divine solutions!”

ChurchLeaders reached out to confirm that only the drivers were on the bus when the accident occurred.

“We not only use the bus to transport all of our gear, but we sleep on it. We really depend on it, like, to make the whole tour work,” Feucht said.

The driver who ran the red light “reeked” of alcohol. He was arrested by police officers.

While the bus door could not be closed due to the damage, the drivers were able to drive slowly to their destination in Richmond, Virginia.

“Thank God,” Feucht said.

Feucht shared an image on Twitter in which the team used his book, “Bold: Moving Forward in Faith, Not Fear,” to support a floor jack the team is using to keep the bus door open while it’s parked.

“This incident is just another sign of the warfare that we’re facing,” Feucht told ChurchLeaders, sharing that their Virginia event at the Capitol has been one of the most difficult to pull off.

“Governor Glen Youngkin has not been cooperative. He’s not been helpful,” Feucht continued. “He’s very timid of working with our group, because we’re extremely pro-life. And apparently that’s something he shying away from right now because of the elections coming up.”

‘Terminated’—Chris Pratt’s Father-in-Law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Doesn’t Believe in Heaven

Iconic Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger recently sat down with fellow actor and comedian Danny DeVito for an interview for “Interview Magazine.”

The two actors starred opposite of each other in films “Twins” (1988) and “Junior” (1994), and they have been friends ever since.

The 75-year-old Schwarzenegger, who has starred in many blockbuster films, including “Terminator,” “Predator,” “Commando,” “Conan the Barbarian,” “Total Recall,” “The Expendables 2,” and “True Lies,” is also father-in-law to outspoken Christian and blockbuster film star Chris Pratt.

During their interview, DeVito asked his friend and former California governor, “What’s in the future for us? What do you think, in terms of our species? Are we going to last? Tell me, oh great leader.”

Schwarzenegger laughed at DeVito’s question and said that it reminded him of a time when Howard Stern asked him about what happens to people when they die.

Going on to answer the question, Schwarzenegger said, “Nothing. You’re six feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f–king liar.”

“You don’t know,” DeVito said in an attempt to pushback on Schwarzenegger’s statement.

Nevertheless, Schwarzenegger elaborated, saying, “We don’t know what happens with the soul and all this spiritual stuff that I’m not an expert in, but I know that the body—as we see each other now, we will never see each other again like that.”

Schwarzenegger expressed his belief that when people say things like, “I will see them again in heaven,” it “sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone.”

“That’s the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t,” Schwarzenegger said. “Because I will f–king miss the s–t out of everything. To sit with you here, that will one day be gone.”

Prosecutors Will Not Seek Charges Against Pastor Caught in 2021 Sex Sting, Even Though Case Against Him Is ‘Sound’

Dale Chamberlain

June 9, 2023

No new sex crime charges will be brought against Virginia Beach pastor John Blanchard, despite prosecutors admitting that enough evidence exists to bring Blanchard to trial. This will apparently end a legal dispute that began shortly after Blanchard, along with 16 other men, was arrested in October 2021 during a sting operation conducted by the Chesterfield County Police Special Victims Unit.

Blanchard was charged with solicitation of prostitution from a minor after corresponding online with an officer posing as a teenage girl, with Blanchard allegedly setting up a time to meet for sex.

Most of the other men who were arrested in the sting have been prosecuted.

However, the charges against Blanchard were dropped in October 2022. In a defiant return to the pulpit in December 2022, Blanchard threatened to pursue legal action in an effort to recover his “good name,” adding that “particular organizations and individuals have made it very clear that they intend to destroy our church, my family, and this ministry.”

A public outcry followed Chesterfield County Commonwealth Attorney Stacey Davenport’s decision to drop the charges against Blanchard, including multiple protests outside of Rock Church International, where Blanchard continues to serve as senior pastor.

In April, protester Jamie Thomas was even arrested after staging a demonstration in the church’s parking lot while the congregation held a worship service.

Former Virginia State Delegate and lawyer Tim Anderson has said that “there’s no excuse not to prosecute this case…To use prosecutorial discretion and say nothing happened here, that’s, in my opinion, an abuse of discretion, especially when they went after 15 other people [following the sting operation].”

Chesterfield County Police Chief Jeffrey Katz also criticized Davenport, saying, “I believe a public articulation of her rationale is warranted. Absent a reasonable explanation, any discontent associated with the handling of this case should be directed to the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office. We did our duty.”

Following the controversy, Davenport recused herself from the case and appointed a special prosecutor “due to the repeated public comments and unfounded political attacks levied upon my office by both Chesterfield County Police Chief Jeffery Katz and Delegate Tim Anderson.” She also unsealed the records pertaining to Blanchard’s case, a reversal of a decision made after Blanchard filed a motion for expungement.

That special prosecutor, Brunswick County Commonwealth Attorney Bill Blaine, has now filed a document with the court indicating that while the evidence gathered by police against Blanchard is “sound,” he does not consider it appropriate to re-file the case, according to the Virginian-Pilot.

The reasoning behind this determination is that Blanchard had honored “his half” of an “unwritten plea agreement,” which included the requirement that Blanchard submit to specialized counseling.

Jinger Duggar Vuolo Explains Why She Chose Not To Appear in ‘Shiny Happy People’

Jessica Mouser

June 9, 2023

Jinger Duggar Vuolo says she chose not to appear in the new docuseries, “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets,” because she wanted to share her story in her own words.

“I was actually approached and asked to participate in the docuseries,” Vuolo told PEOPLE magazine, “but I thought that from my perspective, I really wanted to make sure that I was able to share my story in my own words and in my own timing.”

Vuolo’s memoir, “Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear,” released on Jan. 31. In it, she gives her perspective on her upbringing and her spiritual journey. “I wanted to be able to share it in a way that was, like, God-honoring and hopefully sharing my story in a balanced way,” she said.

Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s Views on IBLP

Jinger Duggar Vuolo is the sixth child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, whose family was featured in TLC’s reality show, “19 Kids and Counting,” and later, in TLC’s “Counting On.” The Duggars are the subject of a new, four-part docuseries released June 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

“Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” explores the Duggars’ rise to fame through their reality shows and the impact the teachings of Bill Gothard and his Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) had on the family and those they influenced. The docuseries makes the case that IBLP promoted a culture of spiritual and sexual abuse and that the Duggars perpetuated this culture by being a mouthpiece for the organization.

Jill Duggar Dillard, the fourth of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children, and her husband, Derrick Dillard, appear in the docuseries, as does Jill’s cousin, Amy Duggar King. Jill told the producers that she “didn’t want to” do the interview, but she recognized “there’s a story that’s going to be told, and I would rather be the one telling it.”

Vuolo told PEOPLE that she had spoken with Jill about appearing in the docuseries, and while Vuolo made the decision to retain more control over how she shared her story, she respects her sister’s decision. “And I am excited to hear what she has to say, even in this documentary,” said Vuolo.

In an interview with ChurchLeaders about her new memoir, Vuolo shared that Gothard’s teachings are “based on fear, manipulation, control and superstition.” She used to believe that if she obeyed IBLP’s principles, her life would be successful, but if she did not, her life would be a failure. Beliefs Vuolo once held, but has since rejected, are that it is wrong for women to wear pants and that it is wrong to listen to rock music. Vuolo said she did not know what God expected of her and lived in constant fear of his punishment.

Southwestern Baptist Seminary Ran Up $140 Million in Deficit Spending Since 2000

(RNS) — A new report from trustees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, details two decades of fiscal mismanagement, including a $140 million operating deficit.

According to an overview of the seminary’s finances released Wednesday (June 7), Southwestern ran an average deficit of $6.67 million per year from 2002 to 2022. During that time, the number of full-time Southern Baptist students at the school dropped by two-thirds (67%) while expenses went up by a third (35%).

The decline of SBC students was significant — since the tuition for them is subsidized by the Southern Baptist Convention’s Cooperative Program, which helps fund the denomination’s six seminaries.

Overall, the school’s enrollment declined from the equivalent of 2,138 full-time students (including non-SBC students) in 2003 to 1,126 full-time in the fall of 2022, according to data from the Association of Theological Schools. (The ATC counts full-time equivalents using a different standard than Southern Baptist seminaries.)

As a result, the school also collected less tuition money from students.

To offset the deficit, the school spent from its reserves and took distributions from its endowment.

“The failure of SWBTS to navigate internal and external headwinds has resulted in a prolonged season of deficit spending that has depleted cash reserves,” according to the summary released by the trustees, who also released two decades of audits.

Much of the overspending occurred during the tenure of Paige Patterson, who was president of Southwestern from 2003 to 2018, when he was fired for allegedly mishandling sexual abuse.

The report, however, does not detail any of the spending patterns during Patterson’s tenure. Instead, the report included a few select details about former President Adam Greenway, who resigned in 2022, less than four years after taking office. Greenway cited enormous “reputational, legal and financial” challenges the seminary was facing in his resignation letter but offered few details.

Wednesday’s report was a response to ongoing questions among trustees about Greenway’s tenure. Last fall the board of trustees appointed a task force to review spending by Greenway on personal expenses and on his seminary-owned home and office, after concerns were raised about spending during his tenure.

That led to a dispute among trustees that spilled into the Baptist media, with allegations of financial misconduct by current staff, causing the trustees to call a special meeting to address those allegations.

That meeting led the board to issue a statement saying allegations of misconduct by current staff were unwarranted and promising to release selected details of Greenway’s spending and the school’s past audits. The seminary found no misconduct on Greenway’s part but alleges he made questionable spending decisions.

“The task force concluded that Adam Greenway engaged in a pattern of spending that the task force believes did not reflect proper stewardship of seminary resources,” according to Tuesday’s statement. “This pattern of spending occurred without deference to financial controls and seminary financial policies.”

The seminary did not release the entire task force report and has no plans to do so, according to board chair Danny Roberts.

According to the report, more than $1.5 million was spent on the on-campus presidential home, including renovations and furnishings. That included an espresso machine costing more than $11,000, about $60,000 for Christmas decorations and more than $25,000 for artwork.

Anglican Denomination Erupts Into Power Struggle After Bishop Stewart Ruch’s Return

Kathryn Post

June 9, 2023

(RNS) — Archbishop Foley Beach, the primate of the Anglican Church in North America, accused his denomination’s highest court of attempting to stop an investigation into an Illinois bishop’s alleged misconduct.

According to a statement Beach issued Wednesday (June 7), Bishop Stewart Ruch of the Upper Midwest Diocese made a “secret appeal” earlier this year to ACNA’s seven-member Provincial Tribunal to call off the investigation. After the tribunal issued a stay order, Beach and other denominational leaders questioned the impartiality of four tribunal members. He also asserted that the denomination’s bylaws don’t give the tribunal authority to issue a stay order.

This power struggle, which had been conducted behind closed doors for months, broke into the open Wednesday with Beach’s “Update on the Diocese of the Upper Midwest.”

“The Tribunal failed to give proper notice to me, the Presenting Bishops, or the Provincial Chancellors,” of Ruch’s request that the charges against him be dropped, Beach charged in his update. “We were not given a copy of what Bishop Ruch filed and we were not given opportunity to address the issue,” he wrote.

Beach’s update did not name the charges against Ruch, though a separate document he published Thursday suggests they were based in part on a September 2022 report by the investigative firm Husch Blackwell, which the Upper Midwest Diocese had hired to look into allegations swirling in at least two churches of sexual abuse. The investigators found that Ruch had been slow to act in response to abuse allegations.

Ruch has admitted making “regrettable errors” in how he handled allegations of sexual abuse by Mark Rivera, a lay minister in the diocese who has since been convicted of both felony sexual assault and felony child sexual assault. In July 2021, Ruch took a leave as bishop of the Upper Midwest Diocese, headquartered in Wheaton, Ill.

But a month after the Husch Blackwell report was released, and as a separate investigation into allegations of spiritual abuse by Ruch and other diocesan leaders was ongoing, Beach announced that Ruch had decided to return from his voluntary leave.

By that time, a denominational team appointed to review the investigation recommended that a presentment, or list of charges, be considered against Ruch. After three bishops signed the presentment as required by church codes, they officially delivered it to Beach in December. Beach then began selecting a 10-person Board of Inquiry to investigate the charges and decide whether to put Ruch to trial, per the denomination’s bylaws.

But in February, he caught wind of Ruch’s plea to the court and received the subsequent stay order. In March, Beach filed formal objections to their actions and charged that they had overstepped their powers.

This week, the tribunal replied, claiming that the tribunal is “the highest adjudicatory body of the Province” and is “the final interpreter of the meaning of the Constitution and Canons.”

This prompted Beach to go public on Wednesday.

Given the dispute over procedure, it’s not clear what happens next. Beach and a denominational spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Welton Gaddy, Former Southern Baptist Who Became a Champion of Liberal Christianity, Dies

Jack Jenkins

June 9, 2023

(RNS) — The Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, a pastor and former president of Interfaith Alliance who went from being a conservative Southern Baptist leader to an advocate for interfaith relations and LGBTQ Christians, died Wednesday (June 7). He was 81.

Interfaith Alliance announced Gaddy’s death in a statement, saying the organization’s former leader died in his home in Monroe, Louisiana.

“Welton stood as a source of inspiration to many,” the statement read. “He showed us that it was possible to hold on to our faith while also fighting for the rights of others who did not share our religious tradition.”

Growing up in Tennessee, Gaddy went to Union University there before attending Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, where he earned a master’s and a Ph.D. He went on to serve as a Southern Baptist minister, his profile rising within the denomination until he eventually served on the SBC’s Executive Committee.

But when Southern Baptists lurched rightward in the 1980s, Gaddy aligned himself with a new, more liberal-leaning group of like-minded faithful: the Alliance of Baptists, a denomination he is credited with helping create. He eventually found a steady pulpit at Northminster Church in Monroe, Louisiana, an Alliance of Baptists-affiliated congregation where he served as senior pastor until 2016 and pastor emeritus until his death.

In addition to his ministry, Gaddy also threw himself into the public sphere. He served as president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State before eventually taking over Interfaith Alliance in 1997, where he remained for 16 years until his retirement.

As head of Interfaith Alliance, Gaddy became a frequent critic of the religious right throughout the 1990s. He told Religion News Service he fashioned the organization to demonstrate that Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and others, who he said had “co-opted” the language of religious freedom, “don’t represent all Christians.” Indeed, Gaddy often sparred with Falwell and Robertson — the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network who also died this week. He expressed contrasting views on everything from public presentations of the Ten Commandments to former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

Gaddy also voiced opposition to government-endorsed prayer and once served on a White House task force focused on “making the (White House faith-based) office constitutional,” despite telling officials at the time “You know, I still want it closed.”

He also organized in support of hate-crimes legislation and railed against the mistreatment of Muslims and Jews, once helping organize a ceremony at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to apologize on behalf of Baptist Christians for sins of “complicity” and “silence” regarding theology used to justify the oppression of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

“It was my privilege to know the man, not just the pastor or the public figure,” Rabbi Jack Moline, an emeritus president of Interfaith Alliance, said in a statement. He later added: “In my Jewish tradition, we respond to a loss like this with the prayer, ‘May his memory be a blessing.’ It is and will continue to be.”

Gaddy, who hosted a regular “State of Belief” radio show that later became a podcast, was known for elevating religious voices in support of same-sex marriage and LGBTQ people — including LGBTQ Christians.

“It does not go without notice that we are remembering Welton just as the LGBTQ+ community is celebrating Pride Month,” the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, Interfaith Alliance’s president, said in a statement. “Welton wrote about full inclusion and dignity for LGBTQ+ people long before many other religious leaders. Across so many areas, Welton used his platform to project a vision for America that was inclusive of different beliefs and respectful of every individual’s inherent dignity.”

Gaddy is survived by his wife, Judy, as well as his son James and two grandsons. Another son, John Paul, died in 2014.

For the Believer, Death Is a Great Awakening

Randy Alcorn

June 9, 2023

Death is like a great ocean, and we are on this shore seeing people depart. But every ocean has two shores, and every person we see depart is seen as arriving on that other shore. Death is not the end. Just as birth was our ticket to this world, so death is our ticket to the next. It is less of an end than a beginning.

If I told you today I would move you from the slums to a beautiful country estate, you would not focus on the life you were ending but the life you were beginning. Death, though a curse in itself, was also the only way out from under the Curse—and only because God had prepared a way to defeat death and restore mankind’s relationship with Him.

Hope you enjoy these reflections on what it will mean to leave this world of pain and suffering, and enter into Christ’s presence (drawn from my book Eternal Perspectives, now out of print but still available on Kindle):

“[Christ] must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” — PAUL, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:25-26

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” —PAUL, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:55

“By [Christ’s] death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.” —HEBREWS 2:14-15

“There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” —JESUS, REVELATION 21:4

“May I view things in the mirror of eternity,
waiting for the coming of my Lord,
listening for the last trumpet call,
hastening unto the new heaven and earth. . . .
May I speak each word as if my last word,
and walk each step as my final one.
If my life should end today, let this be my best day.”
—The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions

“My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim, But it’s enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him.” —Richard Baxter

“H. S. Laird’s father, a Christ-loving man, lay dying. His son sat at his bedside and asked, ‘Dad, how do you feel?’ His father replied: ‘Son, I feel like a little boy on Christmas Eve.’” —Jack MacArthur, adapted from Exploring in the Next World

“Soon you will read in the newspaper that I am dead. Don’t believe it for a moment. I will be more alive than ever before. . . . Earth recedes. . . . Heaven opens before me!” —D. L. Moody, on his deathbed

“I once scorned ev’ry fearful thought of death,
When it was but the end of pulse and breath,
But now my eyes have seen that past the pain
There is a world that’s waiting to be claimed.
Earthmaker, Holy, let me now depart,
For living’s such a temporary art.
And dying is but getting dressed for God,
Our graves are merely doorways cut in sod.”
—Calvin Miller, The Divine Symphony

5 Things You Should Tell Every Guest Family

Dale Hudson

June 9, 2023

When I am not traveling, I have the honor of volunteering in the children’s ministry at my home church.

Yesterday, while I was serving, we had a new guest family attend. They had two children. I met them at the classroom door and shared 5 things with the parents.

“Welcome! We are so excited that you are here.”

You’re going to have so much fun with us!

It’s important to make a new guest feel welcomed and special.

And always smile. Your countenance sends a message. No frowns allowed. See your guests as a blessing and not as a burden or bother.

I told the parents that their child would be in this same room the entire service.

This helps calm their nerves from being a first-time guest. Don’t assume that they know which room they will be picking up from. It’s a scary thing when a guest parent comes to pick up his or her children and they are in a different room. Don’t assume the parents know where to pick up their child—tell them.

Safety and security.

I walked the parents through the safety and security plan we have in place. No one will ever be alone with their child. Every volunteer has been through a background check, personal interview, training, etc.

Safety and security is a huge deal for parents and rightly so. Of you want to reach guest families, you must have safety and security plans in place and communicate them to families. Explain how you will contact them if their child needs them. Share the pick-up procedures.

I handed the parents the take home paper and explained that it contained a review of what we taught that day and questions, activities, etc. that they can use to follow up at home.

p.s. if you hand the parents the take home paper, it has a better chance of making it home and being used.

When they came to pick up their child, I personally thanked them for coming and being our guest.

Look them in the eye and from a sincere heart, let them know you were glad they attended. Parents and children who are guests should receive the royal treatment.

Remember this…people’s perception of your ministry will be based on the last few interactions they have with you and your team. It’s just as, if not more, important that you have a great guest services team that thanks them for coming and greets them with a smile and handshake as they are leaving.

Speak Up for Your Pastor

Joe McKeever

June 9, 2023

“Lord, let these people know there is a God in Israel. And while you’re at it, let them know that I’m your servant” (My paraphrase of I Kings 18:36). A friend said to me, “Whenever I hear someone running the pastor down, I tell them to pray for him.” I said, “May I make a suggestion? While I appreciate your telling them that, a better thing would be to tell them strongly that you disagree, and say why you love your pastor. They need to hear this.”

Yesterday, when my wife returned from her annual doctor’s appointment, she told me something fascinating.

On her way out of the office, two assistants spoke to her. “Isn’t he wonderful?” “We have the best doctor in the building.” Bertha agreed. We love Dr. Paul Vanlandingham.

I found myself wondering, what if the church staff did that when people come into the office? “Don’t we have a wonderful minister?” “We’re so blessed to have such a godly pastor.” “The Lord has blessed us by giving us such a spirit-filled leader.” That sort of thing.

Speak Up for Your Pastor

What if the ministerial staff said something similar as they interact with church members and others during the week?

People who find fault with the pastor never hesitate to voice their opinion. What if the rest of us spoke up in his support?

While some will accuse us of idolatry or something, and point out that Scripture nowhere tells us to praise the pastor as I am suggesting, it does tell us something worth noting. As the Lord sent the disciples out to preach, He told them that whoever received them was receiving Him, that whoever listened to them was hearing Him, and that to reject them was to reject Him (Matthew 10:40 and Luke 10:16). That’s pretty strong stuff.

Clearly, the Lord takes personally how people treat His messengers. (And that, my friend, is going to come as a great shock to a lot of church members at Judgment. Remember, you heard it here.)

Here’s a story from my journal from 20 years ago.

Jim Parrie called. ‘I saw Patricia (last name) in my store. She said she’d heard that the deacons had asked Brother Joe to leave. I told her the deacons don’t have that kind of power, they haven’t done that, and you’re not even a member of our church any more, so why are you worried about it?”

Note: As a new believer, Jim was always sharing his faith with anyone coming into his frame shop. I loved his warm outspokenness. Patricia had belonged to our church for years and I’d tried hard to be a good pastor to her and her sister, both rather high maintenance. One Monday, I heard they had joined the church down the street, without so much as a word. I was not entirely unhappy about that. Ask any pastor.

The Need of the Hour: to Make Disciples

Alvin Reid

June 9, 2023

In 1999, Phil Neighbors—co-pastor of the Valley Baptist Church in Bakersfield—invited me to speak at a youth weekend. That weekend helped cause a shift in ministry focus for me over the next 18 years. It led me to a strategic part of ministry as a teacher, writer and pastor, one I will continue to emphasize: the Next Gen. During these years I’ve spoken on scores of college campuses and at countless DNows, youth rallies and camps. I’ve loved this season. I once did an event in a church where I’ve done some Next Gen events. But this weekend took me back to my roots. I trained believers to share Jesus Without Freaking Out. Yes, we are talking about evangelism, but I actually see training believers in this area as the heart of my calling: to make disciples.

The Need of the Hour: to Make Disciples

When I was in seminary I saw a bifurcation between evangelism and discipleship that seemed unhealthy. We did it denominationally, compartmentalizing by agency, and we did it personally. Some were of the” evangelism party” and others were of the “discipleship faction.”

The Goldilocks Principle of Marriage

Kevin A. Thompson

June 8, 2023

Not too cold. Not too hot. But just right.

In the children’s fairy tale The Three Bears, a little girl named Goldilocks enters an empty house owned by three bears—Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear. Each animal has a preference for the porridge. Goldilocks finds one too cold, one too hot, but one just right. The Goldilocks principle often references finding the middle ground of two extremes.

Within marriage, we need to find just the right perspective of how to think of ourselves. Pride can express itself in one of two extremes—thinking too highly of ourselves or thinking too little of ourselves. Either way, our perspective is wrong. For a healthy marriage, we need to understand ourselves and our spouses in the proper way. When we think either too little or too much of ourselves, we will throw our marriage out of balance. (See: Pride—the Only Enemy of Marriage)

We must think of ourselves just right.

Too much

When we overestimate our value in marriage, we make marriage solely about us. Instead of understanding God’s role in marriage, we assume marriage is simply about our feelings, satisfaction, happiness.

From this perspective, our spouse’s role is to please us. We expect them to make us happy, serve us and make us the center of attention. Our happiness defines their value. The importance of our vows is dependent on our feelings. (See: 3 Essentials of a Healthy Marriage)

Thinking too highly of ourselves can express itself by:

—Believing if our spouse truly loved us they would know what we want or think

—Refusing to listen to our spouse’s thoughts or concerns

—Showing contempt toward our spouse

—Turning every disagreement into a personal attack

—Yelling and other forms of disrespect

—Failing to take responsibility for a major aspect of home life (finances, housework, etc.)

—Assuming principles of fidelity or character don’t apply to us

—Being physically or emotionally abusive

—Ignoring our vows and refusing to submit what we desire to what’s best for the couple

When we think too highly of ourselves, a healthy marriage is not possible because our spouse can never be seen as our equal. We will always think we deserve better and that they are lucky to be married to us.

Trust and Trustworthiness

Full Strength Network

June 8, 2023

what is trustworthiness — Source: Lightstock

Trust and trustworthiness are essential qualities of relationships that last a lifetime. This holds true for pastors and their spouses just as much as for other couples. John and Julie Gottman define trust as the specific state of a relationship that exists when both people are willing to change their own behavior to benefit the other. So, trust defines the state of the relationship when couples see their individual happiness as deeply connected to that of their mate, and each changes their own behavior in order to increase their mate’s happiness. Trust says: “My mate has my back and I have my mate’s back.”

Trustworthiness, however, is different from trust. Trustworthiness indicates one’s willingness to sacrifice for the relationship, to put one’s own needs aside because the spouse matters most. We trust God because He is trustworthy. Trustworthiness says: “You are unique and irreplaceable. Our relationship is sacred.”

When trust and trustworthiness are high, pastors and their spouses experience deep connection and happiness because they prioritize the well-being of their spouse and their marriage. Consider these five principles for cultivating trust and trustworthiness in your relationships:

Actively protect trust. Trust is crucial to the integrity of a relationship. Do everything you need to do to have your partner’s back, to change your own behavior so as to benefit your mate. When husbands and wives do this, then a foundation of trust is reinforced daily. In contrast, mistrust is the state that develops when your spouse acts for his/her own benefit without regard for you. You may not be injured, but you do not benefit. Do you have your spouse’s back? Do you intentionally change your own behavior to benefit your spouse?
Be trustworthy. How trustworthy are you within the relationships you consider sacred? Do you keep your promises? Do you communicate that your spouse and children are special and irreplaceable? Do you take active steps to protect the boundaries of these special relationships from erosion? The opposite of trustworthiness is betrayal. Betrayal is when one mate acts for their own benefit BUT at the cost or expense of their spouse. It’s one thing to say, “I can’t count on you to remember my birthday.” It’s another thing entirely to say “I can’t count on you to remain faithful to me.” What is one thing you can do or say today that will begin to increase the trust in your most precious relationships?
Be attuned to the special people in your life. Tune into the emotional lives of the significant people in your life. Validate their emotional realities and become curious about their experiences, especially when it differs from your own. Instead of jumping to correction or defensiveness, listen to their experiences. How attuned are you to what your spouse and family members are feeling? In what ways can you let them know you are truly listening to them?
Show your admiration for one another through respect. Disrespect is one sure way to introduce betrayal into your relationship according to the Gottmans. Put your admiration for those you love into words and tell those you love what you admire about them. Praise them—in their presence—when speaking with others. Admiration is the sure antidote to an attitude of contempt, and it short circuits the pathway to disrespect. In what concrete ways can you show your spouse and key significant people in your life that you respect them? How would they describe how you show respect for them?
Review how benefits and burdens are experienced. Mistrust and even betrayal can arise when the benefits and burdens of family life are unevenly allocated. Consider the sons of Jacob in Genesis. Joseph’s half-brothers readily concluded that Joseph was receiving too many “benefits” while they were saddled with the “burdens” in this family. The anger and rage that resulted from this faulty distribution almost cost Joseph his life. Take a courageous inventory of who carries what load within the family. If a redistribution of burdens is not possible at the moment, do everything you can to overtly recognize the additional sacrifice that someone may be making on behalf of the family. Is someone in your family making more sacrifices than others on their behalf? Who is most overloaded in your family?

‘Flamin’ Hot’ Producer DeVon Franklin Hopes Film Will Inspire Church Leaders To Get Back to a ‘Heart of Service’

ChurchLeaders had the opportunity to talk to “Flamin’ Hot” film producer DeVon Franklin (“Miracles From Heaven,” “Breakthrough,” “The Star“) and ask him why church leaders should watch the film when it releases to Hulu and Disney+ on June 9.

“Flamin’ Hot” is inspired by the story of Richard Montañez, a Frito-Lay janitor who says he disrupted the food industry by channeling his Mexican-American heritage to turn Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into an iconic global pop culture phenomenon.

Through the film, Franklin and director Eva Longoria share how Montañez’s wife, Judy, played a vital role in helping the family turn to faith during times of hardship and uncertainty.

After meeting the Montañez family about six or seven years ago, Franklin said he knew he had to make a movie telling their story.

“Who would have ever thought there would be a story that could bring hope and help and inspiration,” he said. “And I didn’t know how I was gonna get it done. I truly had no idea, but I gave them my word that I would get it done. And thankfully I succeeded. It was the uniqueness of their story that made me commit to it.”

Franklin shared that he was grateful for the opportunity to tell Montañez’s story, the story of a Latino family.

“I think that when you look at Montañez’s story, his persistence will help church leaders understand the value of persistence even more,” Franklin said.

Franklin added that Montañez didn’t set out to make a billion dollar brand. Rather, Franklin said that Montañez was merely trying to help the Frito-Lay plant where he worked, which was experiencing economic turmoil, in order to help save the jobs of his friends and colleagues who were being laid off.

According to Franklin, Montañez’s focus was, “What can I do to be my brother’s keeper?”

Montañez had a heart of service and a desire to help people. Along the way, he made history, Franklin explained.

Franklin hopes that church leaders watching the film will be inspired toward “reorienting their intention” and getting back to “a heart of service.”

Adding that he hopes the film will inspire viewers to be persistent, Franklin said, “Just because you’ve tried it for a few months, doesn’t mean that you got to give up on it.”

God Wants You To Know Him as a Perfect Father

God is All-Powerful, King, Creator, Holy, All-Knowing, Ruler and Lord. But all of God’s attributes and names are wrapped in the skin of a Father. A Father who gave you life, uniquely created you, adores you, and has spanned heaven and hearth to be with you.

At first glance the reality that God wants you to relate to Him as a father can be good or not-so-good news. We all have a specific picture of what a father is like that, for better or worse, is primarily based on our relationship with our earthly dads. Although God is loving and inviting and trustworthy and dependable, it’s as if something—or someone—constructed a barrier that makes it difficult to take in this amazing aspect of God’s character. Our view is being blocked by a flawed understanding of what a father is.

That’s the challenge inherent with declaring God is a Father. All of our earthly fathers have fallen short, some more than others. Some fathers proved themselves true—time and time again. But others proved false—and this also happened time and time again. Let’s face it. There’s a fatherhood crisis in our world. According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, one in four kids live in a home without a dad. That’s a quarter of the children in the U.S. waking up each day without any type of father present in their lives. Yet, such a staggering realization shouldn’t come as a surprise.

The Enemy seeks to destroy fatherhood. He wants to break apart our image of what a good father is. He wants to destroy families and wreck the relationships between fathers and their kids. If he can shatter our picture of good earthly fathers, then he might in turn blast our image of our perfect heavenly Father. And if the Enemy can’t completely shatter our image of God, maybe he can mess with it just enough to keep us from living fully free.

Some of you know that although your dad’s not perfect, he’s doing his best. Your dad is or was a really good father, and whether he’s still present in your life, or death has taken him from you, his blessing is a big part of who you’re becoming. There are more than a few dads like this in the world.

This father is a kind, strong, encouraging dad. When it comes to loving his family, this father is the one who constantly does his best. He might still wear Bermuda shorts with dark socks and dress shoes when he goes to the mall, but he’s always telling his kids he loves them. He’s the guy who makes every attempt to be there for his children.

Are you fortunate enough to know a good father? This dad, when you were little, stuck his head inside your bedroom door at night and said, “Hey, I just want you to know I love you. You’re my favorite son!” You smiled as you heard him say those same words to your brother down the hall.

But what if your view of what a father is has been shattered? How do you move forward if your trust in the one who should have been the most trustworthy person in your life (your earthly dad) has been damaged or corrupted or blurred? How can you celebrate the fact that there is a great God in heaven who wants you to know Him as Abba? If God is a father like yours, why would you want anything to do with Him?

Well, here’s the good news—the life-altering news: God is not the reflection of your earthly dad. He is the perfection of your earthly dad. God’s not just a bigger version of your earthly father. He’s everything you’ve ever wanted your dad to be and more.

This is great news for us all! Even if your dad is a really wonderful father, you still don’t want him to be your God, and you don’t want God to be exactly like him. You want a God who is somewhat like him but infinitely better. And that’s what you have.

And if you’ve been trying to overcome the wounds of a terrible earthly dad, and you’re thinking you’ll never be able to relate to God as a father because you don’t even know how, I encourage you to think again. Even if your dad left a wake of pain and confusion and weakened you more than he helped make you strong, you can still imagine what it would have been like if things had been different.

Love Where You Live: Understanding the Mission

Ed Stetzer

June 8, 2023

This is the first installment in a series I’ve entitled “Love Where You Live.”

In this series, we will explore truths about mission and evangelism to offer practical ways you can partner with Christ to reach the people in your life who are far from him.

When we talk about “mission” or being “missional,” a lot of different images and concepts come to mind. Some people think of the cross-cultural work a missionary undertakes when she or he plants themselves in a distant land for the purpose of taking the gospel.

Others may think of a church’s organizational “mission statement” that may be on the website or in the church’s print publications. Still others apply the word to almost anything. (I once heard a well-meaning church leader refer to the lighting in their sanctuary as “missional.”)¹

But when we talk about the missio Dei (Latin for “mission of God”), we are referring to God’s grand effort to reconcile all of creation to himself through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The chief priority in that reconciliatory mission is the redemption of humanity, which has rebelled against God (Gen. 3) but, in Christ, is provided with the path toward reconciliation into right relationship with God.

It’s important at the onset of this series that we understand that the mission of God is, well, just that—God’s mission. It is God’s mission that we are called to participate in. We don’t “do mission for God.” We partner with the Lord in the reconciliatory work he is already doing in the world and in people’s hearts. We don’t “evangelize for Jesus” inasmuch as we partner with the Holy Spirit through evangelism, because it is the Spirit, not us, who is ultimately responsible for pointing people to Jesus.

We are his missionary people, placed in our communities to join him in his mission. While that includes acts of justice, advocacy, mercy, and generosity, it also—and as a primary focus—includes evangelism. That means telling people about Jesus—it is from our declaring of the gospel that our demonstrations of the gospel should flow.

Facts are a Tool, not a Weapon

I have often been quoted as saying, “Facts are your friends, even if they disagree with you.” I still hold to that statement. But when it comes to sharing the gospel with the people in your life, the transmission of facts should not become our primary motivating force. Facts may be your friend, but the mission of God, as revealed in the Bible, remains our priority.

This has two relevant implications to better inform how we do evangelism in this cultural moment. First, evangelism is not simply communicating a set of doctrinal beliefs or a gospel presentation formula. Evangelism is not simply the transmission of a message, like a radio program traveling the air waves. That can be a component of our evangelistic efforts, but if that’s all it is, it will fall flat.

Second, sometimes people assume that evangelism is posting their religious “facts” on social media, correcting someone else’s assumptions about Christianity, or forms of what can be called “I just tell it like it is”-style evangelism. But in reality, this form of “evangelism” is just being rude with a religious stamp of approval put on it.

I like what Andy Crouch says: “The church’s mission is to embody and enact the good news of Jesus Christ in ways that are both faithful and culturally relevant.”² We need to approach our cultural moment with an awareness of the realities we face on the ground while being rooted in God’s Word—committed and faithful to his mission, which is to be executed in a spirit of embodied love. We need to embody the good news, not simply communicate it.

Think ‘Glocal’

If we’re honest with ourselves, we Americans can be a tad self-obsessed. The widespread reporting of decline of Christian affiliation in North America can create this idea in our minds that the Church is in trouble—that it’s the end of the road for Christianity. This in turn fuels the fervor of what is commonly called the “culture wars,” causing Christians in America to think they need to fight to recover cultural ground that has been lost.

¹I describe this dilemma in more detail in my contributing chapter to “Conversations on When Everything is Missions“ (Bottomline Media, 2020).

Oklahoma Softball Players: ‘Our Life Is in Christ, and That’s All That Matters’

Stephanie Martin

June 8, 2023

Editor’s note: After this article was published, the Oklahoma women’s softball team defeated Florida State 3-1 in Game 2 of the College World Series to become national champions for the third straight year.

If the Oklahoma women’s softball team wins game 2 of the College World Series tonight (June 8) against Florida State, they will have completed a historic three-peat. But despite the team’s dominance and a 52-game winning streak, on-field victories aren’t the priority for the Oklahoma softball players or their coach.

Several Sooners are devoted Christians who boldly share their faith. They’re following the example of head coach Patty Gasso, who regularly glorifies God for his many blessings. Grasso credits God with changing her mindset years ago, shifting the focus from winning softball games to winning souls. “You open the door and let them in; I’ll take over from there,” was God’s message to her.

Oklahoma Softball Players Find Joy in Christ

During a June 6 press conference ahead of the best-of-three national championship, three Oklahoma softball players told journalists that Christ is their source of joy and freedom.

When an ESPN reporter asked how the women handle pressure and maintain their joy, team captain Grace Lyons responded, “The only way that you can have a joy that doesn’t fade away is from the Lord. Any other type of joy is actually happiness that comes from circumstances and outcomes.”

God-given joy isn’t dependent on on-field success, Lyons added, noting that the game of softball can be a rollercoaster. “Joy from the Lord is really the only thing that can keep you motivated [and] in a good mindset, no matter the outcomes,” she said.

Teammate Jayda Coleman said she agreed “1000%,” describing how she felt unfulfilled after the team’s first championship because she “had to find Christ.” Not being afraid to lose is “what makes our team so strong,” she said. “We wanna win, but it’s not the end of the world [if we lose] because our life is in Christ, and that’s all that matters.”

Infielder Alyssa Brito explained the team’s “Eye’s Up” strategy, in which players point upward to indicate they’re “really fixing our eyes on Christ.” Brito, who was baptized last year by two teammates, said, “We know this game is giving us opportunities to glorify God. Once we figured that out…it’s really changed so much for us.”

Brito said when Jesus changed her outlook on life, that brought her much freedom and joy. Whether the season ends with a championship or not, she said, “This isn’t our home. … We have so much more. We have an eternity of joy with our Father, and I’m so excited about that.” Brito concluded, “No matter what, my sisters in Christ will be there with me in the end, when we’re with our King.”

Christian Faith Unites Sooners Softball Team

In a recent edition of Sports Spectrum magazine, four Oklahoma softball players talked about the team’s Christian unity. Several of them attend church and chapel together and participate in team Bible studies. Some have even gotten baptized together.

Thief Apologizes to Pastor for Stealing His Trailer; Pastor Drops Charges

Jessica Mouser

A man who stole a pastor’s trailer off church property in Evansville, Indiana, has apologized to the church leader, who is not going to press charges. The thief reached out to Pastor Tony Metcalf of The Gathering Church after Metcalf told 14 News that if the man returned the trailer, Metcalf would forgive him and welcome him at church.

“Bring the trailer back; all will be forgiven,” said Metcalf. “We’ll save you a seat on Sunday, and we’ll gladly have you.”

Tony Metcalf Not Pressing Charges for Trailer Theft

On Monday, June 5, The Gathering Church pastor Ray Brown announced on Facebook that Metcalf’s trailer had been stolen from church property. “We once again [called] the Police to report another trailer stolen off of our Church property that is one of our Pastors [sic] Tony Metcalf,” said Brown. “We have had one other trailer stolen, had a catalytic converter cut off our transport bus and a burglary within our church. All Totaling nearly 14k. Tony’s trailer is about $600.”

Metcalf told 14 News that a break-in last October cost the church $11,000. He anticipated the loss of several thousand dollars as a result of the theft of the trailer, which the church uses to transport food.

Camera footage of the theft showed the license plate of the thief’s car. Brown said church leaders had informed local police of the incident, and he asked people to share images from the footage in hopes of catching the perpetrator.

“We’re all about forgiveness,” Metcalf told 14 News. “This is a church of the redeemed. A lot of our congregation has a past,” including people, he said, who have committed crimes similar to the trailer theft. It was his promise not press charges if the man returned the trailer that likely led to the thief calling him to apologize.

“I got word last night that the guy who stole Tony’s small trailer off the Church property was going to return it last night,” said Brown in an update early Wednesday. “We shall see this morning.”

Metcalf told 14 News that the thief told him he had received many phone calls from people who recognized him in the security footage and who were urging him to return the trailer. “He said, ‘I’m sorry I didn’t realize it was your trailer,’” said Metcalf. “He said, ‘If there’s any way I can bring it back, I’d like to do that.’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’”

Unfortunately, the man did not make it to Metcalf with the trailer. He stopped for gas on the way and when police tried to apprehend him, he ran from them. Police officers then informed Metcalf that the trailer was at the gas station. “Our senior pastor has been in communication with his daughter,” said Metcalf, “and she was just very grateful to us for extending grace and just hoped this would be an opportunity for him to turn his life around and be the man that God intended him to be, and that’s our hope for him as well.”

$11K Espresso Machine Listed as Part of Former SBC Seminary President’s ‘Pattern of Spending’ That Led to Resignation

Dale Chamberlain

June 8, 2023

A report released by the board of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) has revealed that former president Adam Greenway “engaged in a pattern of spending that…did not reflect proper stewardship of seminary resources.”

Greenway stepped down as president of the Southern Baptist seminary amid decreased enrollment and other financial struggles in September 2022, having served for 3 1/2 years as successor to Paige Patterson, who was fired for his alleged mishandling of sexual abuse allegations.

While Greenway initially announced he would be accepting a new role at the SBC’s International Mission Board following his resignation, that did not come to pass, as Greenway said that he was not “able to find the Lord’s peace to move forward in that direction.”

After the SWBTS board of trustees publicly alleged that Greenway’s departure was owing to fiduciary irresponsibility, Greenway began to petition that the board’s findings be made public.

“I look forward to the seminary fulfilling its promise of transparency to Southern Baptists by releasing the full trustee investigative report including all related findings, without edit or redaction,” Greenway said in a statement on April 20. “I trust that all Southern Baptists will then be able to judge for themselves the veracity of the summary narrative presented in the seminary’s press release.”

In a “Summary of Findings” released on Wednesday (June 7), the trustees disclosed the results of an investigation conducted by a task force appointed to audit Greenway’s financial dealings while president of the seminary.

“The findings of this review, based on extensive research by the task force, along with recommendations for preventing such issues in the future, were presented to trustees at their Spring 2023 meeting,” the report said. “Matters covered by the task force included suggested strengthened financial guardrails, evaluation of possible sale of portions of the campus, and spending habits of the former President.”

Included as an example of Greenway’s pattern of spending between 2019 and 2021 was $1.5 million spent on renovations, furnishings, and other expenses to the President’s Home. This included $59,865.79 for Christmas decorations, more than $25,000 for artwork, and $11,123.49 on an espresso machine and accessories.

$180,000 of HVAC work was also completed in 2021, work which the board characterized as “optional.”

The report noted that these expenditures came at a time when the seminary was struggling financially, cutting budgets, and laying off faculty.

The task force also found that the facilities team at SWBTS was tasked with much of the work on the President’s Home, “creating an unsustainable demand, and contributing to poor morale and high turnover.”

Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s Views on IBLP

“Welcome! We are so excited that you are here.”

I told the parents that their child would be in this same room the entire service.

Safety and security.

I handed the parents the take home paper and explained that it contained a review of what we taught that day and questions, activities, etc. that they can use to follow up at home.

When they came to pick up their child, I personally thanked them for coming and being our guest.
