In this episode of the Determine Truth Podcast, we continue our series on toxic church culture, spiritual abuse, and unhealthy leadership by examining how churches sometimes protect institutions, reputations, and leaders instead of victims.

We discuss the Southern Baptist Convention abuse scandals, church accountability structures, Christian nationalism, complementarianism, and several high-profile examples involving church leaders and abuse allegations.

We also examine several frequently cited Bible passages that are often used in discussions about abuse, including:

• Malachi 2 ("God hates divorce")

Along the way, we ask important questions:

What happens when churches prioritize reputation over victims?

This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, church abuse, spiritual abuse, and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health, this time engaging the DIFFICULT conversation of s3xu@l abuse within the church and within church systems. 

We bring back our friend Somer Ransom to discuss her experience as a church practitioner and what she’s learned about this subject over the years. What is the appropriate way for opposite-gender Christians to engage? Is the “Billy Graham Rule” the 11th Commandment? Has the Evangelical Church wrongly identified the David and Bathsheba situation as “adultery” when it should be considered rape? What does GROOMING look like within the church? How often does the church “victim shame”?

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health…and sometimes the lackthereof. 

In this replay episode (July 2021), they bring on special guests Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer to discuss their book, A Church Called Tov. 

Tragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches…Respected author and theologian Scot McKnight and former Willow Creek member Laura Barringer wrote this book to paint a pathway forward for the church.

We need a better way. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuses of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses occur most frequently when Christians neglect to create a culture that resists abuse and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth.

How do we keep these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us from where we are today to where we ought to be as the body of Christ. That map is in a mysterious and beautiful little Hebrew word in Scripture that we translate “good,” the word tov.

In this book, McKnight and Barringer explore the concept of tov―unpacking its richness and how it can help Christians and churches rise up to fulfill their true calling as imitators of Jesus.

This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.
