There is a law called mandated reporting if children are involved. A person who has knowledge of abuse has to report it by law. As for being cynical, perhaps it is a result of discouraging critical thought by believers, often people are ostracized for asking honest questions about leadership and doctrine. Thanks for talking about these issue. Good discussion

Very good point about ostracizing critical thinking… somehow in charismatic spheres we act like God only made half of the brain! And anytime a crime was committed it has to be reported - immediately.

Only certain people/professions are mandated reporters by law. But before God we are responsible morally.

God is judging His House by exposing the uncleanliness. When we don’t know the word of God we fall into deception. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and good understanding to those who love him. Thank you Jesus for your judgment that leads to repentance and correction. Not only those in leadership but the whole body who are guilty of “heart idolatry“, by placing your servant(s) on a peddle-stool instead of placing You above all else. Correct our crooked path and bring us all back on Your straight and narrow path of holiness and purity. ❤

So good to talk about this. My family had a horrible experience at church when the minister gave me a letter telling me God wanted him & I to be together. I gave the letter to my husband. My son had only been saved for 6 months. It is some 15 years later and I can never say we recovered. It’s a Calvary Chapel church. We stayed silent for the longest times to preserve the body of Christ & give the minister time to do the right thing. He never did step down. The church covered for him. Made excuses. Broke our family. Broke his family. Broke the church. If he had been forced out of the leadership it may have preserved it. Their covering it up is what led to their downfall and I expect it’s not over. He never did do the right thing. Probably has a pile of those letters and fills in new names.

God Bless you and keep you. Spiritual abuse and manipulation is not just a sin against the victims but against God Himself. People that cover up for sin ( which The Church has been notorious for doing) will reap the same as the sinner they covered for. When you know the right thing to do and you don't do it it will s Sin James 4:17🙏

Thank you so much for this podcast. Johnny's sharing about the perspective of good churches outnumbering the mega ones is a word in due season for me. I idolized a young on-fire priest and discovered things weren't what they seemed to be, which led me to look at the unending scandals in the Catholic Church. The unhealthy structure of secrecy and lack of accountability has nearly shipwrecked my faith. There are those within trying to bring things to light, but it is a tough and sometimes lonely battle. Thank you for both of you - your wisdom, your ministries, and your heartfelt prayers!

Thank you - that was encouragement at a time when so much seems to be discouraging. Paul often opened his letters praying for BOTH Truth and Grace for the Christians who would receive his teaching; we need the balance of both.

Addictive and enabling behavior is rampant in the church. It is the result of generational iniquity increasing and no teachings on identifying these issues. Forgive and forget and let’s just go forward is addict and enabling behavior. Issues must be completely worked through and understood healed before moving forward. It is said about Jesus in the New Testament He trusted no one because He knew what was in man.

I will go further and add to a comment below. Knowledge of a child being sexually abused is mandated to report. If a person is a therapist a teacher a pastor or one in leadership or in charge of children if they do not report can find themselves in jail.
@kingdomawakeningpodcastАй бұрын
Yep- the issues of “reporting” vs “not reporting” is only a consideration when a crime has not been committed (not all immoral behavior is illegal). Criminal behavior is mandated reporting.

You mentioned a prophetess participated in grooming a young girl for the bishop. A person is still privileged to have the gift of prophecy while participating in a grievous sin? I guess one is not required to repent to receive that gift. I don’t understand that.
