A relationship with @PastorMark Driscoll's daughter gave Vince Manuele a front-row seat to life inside one of evangelicalism's most talked-about churches.
In this candid interview, @thevincemanuele shares his experience & explains why he believes the story of Trinity Church is far from over.

1/ Hi @DavidDark and @DaultRadio. I confess I have the two of you, together in my mind, as the two Dr Davids towards whom I feel gratitude regularly.
Today I started reading Dr. Anna Salter's 2025 book "Confronting Malice"

Northview elders spoke for 10 minutes Sunday about sudden firing of megachurch pastor CJ Johnson. Said "can't answer all your questions" and "we're not able to discuss the details" three times
But the terms of the third-party investigation EXPLICITLY SAY they can make it public.

1/ Posited: mostly, it's not internal characteristics. Mostly, it's external environments. That is, robots matter. People are effed up, mostly, *because* robots are messed up. spacedaily.com/s-the-marshma…

Every year, the question in my mind is: How much more harm will Southern Baptists do before they adjourn? This year it was quite a lot.
I've rounded up those harms, along with some of the ugly comments that came my way. Have a read (link in replies). #ThisistheSBC #SBC26

What's more, the president of Amazing Life Foundation, led by @ChrisHeaslip, refused to answer questions about whether $royaltie$ are being paid to unrepentant sexual predator Reggie Joiner every time a church buys their children's church curriculum.
Orange youth group curricula is used by an estimated one million kids every week.
A summary of a third-party investigation (released very quietly) confirmed that the founder sexually abused six women.

1/ This tweet has been living in my head for the past 2-3 days. I've been oh so carefully not publicly saying most of the things I have been thinking/feeling in response to it. I guess that's been me slowing my roll. It's atypical behaviour, for me, this roll-slowing.
No person *is* the robot, the effort, the offense, the terror, the corruption, the abusive move or moves I associate with them.
