Tom and Jennifer Buck Interview

[@geria8044]

I loved my husband and I still remember that I tried so hard to get us help. Counseling, mature Christian mentors, etc. He was a narcissist and it was a dark disorder. I still ask God should I have tried harder but I became suicidal and hopeless.

[@JuneBSims]

You did the right thing by sharing your story.My husband and I went through 3 bad years-no physical abuse-but l hung in there with my focus on the Lord and He healed our marriage.It’s not easy but He always blesses our obedience

[@stacyarmstrong9511]

Thank you for this interview. Love how the Lord can and does heal relationships. I was married to an extremely abusive man for 20 years. We had 3 children. We divorced about 16 years ago. I hated him for so long until I truly began seeking God. He became very very I'll and ultimately ended up in a nursing home and unable to walk or even be transferred from his bed to his wheelchair. By the end of his life I saw God take a monster and turned him into a gentle humble loving kind believer. He also helped me to repent from all my part of our abusive life together and he brought healing to our relationship. We became friends. I was remarried and am still with that husband. But God gave my current husband a tenderness and kindness to allow me to remain friends with my ex husband. By the end of his life I was visiting him at the nursing home reading the Bible to him at his request. He was illiterate and unable to read so he asked me to read the Word to him. He repented for all the abuse over the years and he placed his total trust in Jesus. And the transformation was AMAZING! I will forever recall and share how God changed us and healed us. There is always hope in Christ❤️

[@stacyarmstrong9511]

And he passed to be with our Lord on October 23, 2021. I am so thankful God never gave up on him and never gave up on me.

[@matthewrasmussen4181]

My wife passed from cancer just about two years ago and the Holy Spirit convicted me of similar things over the last two years. No physical but most certainly verbal. Being brought to your knees in tears when your hidden sin is revealed to you is very painful...and very good at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story, many men need to hear this, and know that healing is possible in submission.

[@SIOTL-IHI]

Thank you Justin for this interview and thank you to the Bucks for being willing to expose the abuse that they have suffered by the SBC. It seems this is the mind set today. Every body Is a victim. Thank you for your humility and courage. Very inspiring .

[@jackjones3657]

I've heard the Buck's tell their story several times. Each time it was consistent and there is no reason to disbelieve it. How refreshing to see a pastor and his wife lay out their own struggles and sin as an example of redemption in Jesus. It is immoral and unbiblical to see how their past struggles have been used against them by professing christians. Leadership accountability and Biblical church discipline are so badly needed in our time. The world and many "churches" are often indiscernible.

[@Gal0220]

Such an encouragement seeing the Bucks talk about the transformative power of the Gospel. All glory to our good Shepherd!

[@chaseman8665]

I appreciate brother Tom’s transparency. It’s rare in the Church today. But, a massive encouragement to those in the body of Christ who struggle with this exact thing. I know that the Lord is using the Buck’s testimony to build up the brethren!

[@sheilamartens9042]

If only young married couples knew the blessings and rewards that comes with endurance,perseverance, commitment, they would work things out in their marriage! We have been married 40 years now, and many years were not a cakewalk! The gospel has transformed ours lives, and we don’t live for ourselves as we once did! Glory be to God!

[@astonesthrow2o2o50]

I grew up in FBC Lindale Texas. I was baptized there and played guitar in the youth group praise band all through High School. Great church. Pastor Buck wasnt the Pastor yet but Ive heard awesome things about this man. I hate to see him and his wife being persecuted. Its shameful that someone has done this to them. Praying for these two and their ministry.

[@hookoffthejab1]

I've been going to fbc for a couple months now and it is the most biblically foundational church I've ever attended. Our congregation is very blessed to have Tom as our pastor

[@astonesthrow2o2o50]

@@hookoffthejab1 Thats awesome to hear. Im not an active member anymore but I will always consider FBC my home and firm foundation. I would be curious to know what the Pastors thoughts are on where we stand in the stream of time. End times prophecy etc.... Prayers for you and FBC. God Bless

What a beautiful expression of our dear Savior's grace....so grateful to hear Jennifer and Tom's story. I would like to thank them for their transparency. God bless you all.

[@SolaGratia.]

I'm a member of the "survivor community" but I want nothing to do with the survivor movement. You do have to heal and move on after abuse, but you don't need to make your abuse more significant than your healing. I love what Brother Voddie said to him after reading the article. That's what true regeneration looks like, because whether you were a survivor or an abuser, God is a Healer. We were all something broken before Christ began a good work in us, but if we are in Him, He will be faithful to complete it. People need to learn to forgive and examine their own hearts.

[@littleboots9800]

"You don't need to make your abuse more significant than your healing." Wow. Very well put.

[@joycelint6652]

Listening again, and feel sad that believers no longer believe that God can change us.

[@kimigaines9478]

I feel like you are interviewing my husband and I. We went through similar situations. Our marriage was very rocky and my husband and I have arestored marriage and we are now married almost 42 yrs. We've been through a lot, but God's restoration is beautiful.

[@love2mycat]

My husband and I sat here and watched this and were blown away because we went through a very simular situation and we have only been married for nearly 12 years now, but God changed both of us. We appreciate your testimony and it encourages us to share ours as well. We praise God and thank Him for you two and your desire to share the gospel truth through your own experiences. God bless you both. and thankyou Justin for having them on!

[@ethankaryadi37]

Just read the article. Thank the Lord for such a tremendous story of His transformative power. God bless you, Pastor Peters, and the Bucks too.

[@laurieturnbull5399]

Thank God for the Bob and Dottie's and the Tom and Jennifer's who were not ashamed of The Gospel sharing this testimony with their brothers and sisters in Florida; maybe at least 23 years ago; Truly blessed from being under their ministres. Tom's preaching and Jennifer's teaching our women's group real examples of how we grow in God's Grace. Miss you both, Rom 8:28 Love from Florida.

[@joantaber]

This is a great interview. I am a widow; however, I enjoyed the true intentions of a wonderful couple. God bless you. And Justin, thank you for your keen insight into The Word. God blesses you!

[@Iamalittlestitious21]

So grateful they are sharing their story. Can any of their accusers say they lived a sinless life? We all have sinned and fallen short, but God, who is faithful can transform and restore all who serve him. God Bless Them. The SBC has been a great disappointment. Why is Rick Warren still in the SBC? He’s a false teacher. Thank you, Justin.

[@kimk2909]

Thank you so much Justin for allowing this precious couple to tell their story. Horrible how they have been treated and attacked. What a powerful testimony of the Gospel so truly healing healing their marriage! Such a tremendous encouragement to me! I loved what Tom said : "It takes two people committed to repentance for a marriage to work" and "the Gospel will heal you and keep you from bitterness"-so very, very true. Justin thank you for your recommendation of the book "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace. Also thank you so much for all that you do to defend God's Word and His Truth!

[@donnarose1878]

Sin is definitely the problem for all of us. I believe that even in the churches, maybe because there are so many " unsaved christians", they don't have the faith of Jesus Christ to believe that people can change. Also, people are not happy without drama. May God continue to bless this beautiful couple.

[@geria8044]

Thier testimony is such a blessing and I thank God for saving and healing them and their marriage. I was in 2 abusive marriages the 2nd one was horrible and dark. My church did nothing and basically told me that they didn't understand it. I thank God that I have healed and understood the cycle of domestic violence Some people just dont know and have support to help them. Including churches and pastors You're only choice to survive is to divorce. God bless you JP I love you.

[@vickifarrar1170]

Wonderful testimony of God's faithfulness and sanctification of believers.

[@littlefordschoolhouse]

What an excellent interview. I love they way they tell their story. I agree with some people are scared to hear it. My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and for the first 4 years we lived miserably in many of the same ways they described their marriage in the beginning. Praise God a couple from our church started ministering to us and counseling us. We worked through it all and have a beautiful marriage like it is supposed to be. When couples have been redeemed by God, it is such an amazing thing. If it was not for our r hearts turning and the other couple stepping up to help us we would not have made it either. There are people who do not receive our story well either however and it is still so perplexing.

[@vanessap7209]

Thank you Pastor Tom Buck and your bride Jennifer♥️😊😍Your story has truly helped me as a wife of a little over a year to my husband here also in Texas.

Humbly stated indeed. We cannot say a thing. We're all guilty.

[@christinesmith1499]

Reba, instead of using the term "we are all sinful" try using the term "we are all wounded" it has a more compassionate flavour to it.

[@erincoates80]

Praising the Lord for my 3 dear friends. Pastor Tom gave such wise counsel at the end - I see a dangerous movement happening in the church where men and women caught in the awful sin of abuse are being shut off from the gospel and it is being deemed the unforgivable sin. So thankful for you all for sharing and being willing to suffer for our Lord ❤️

[@derickrae]

This sounds like the story of me and my husband. He was hyper controlling and now he says he was abusive. But God is so faithful. He let me get very very sick. This trial revealed where we both needed to grow. The Holy Spirit is incredible at this Sanctification stuff.

[@SolaGratia.]

Wow. I haven't gotten to the crux of the video yet ,but God really did a miracle in their marriage. I wish I had found counselors like these when my marriage was struggling, but I praise God when any relationship is healed this way.

[@truth4lifeministries32]

I can really relate to this story. Iam married now for 29 years. I come from a very insecure background, and am by nature very insecure. My wife, on the other hand, came from a very secure ubringing. I will, and can never, forget the day when we were married for about two years, when I got irritated with my wife. I do not remember what it was that irritated me, but I grabbed her with my hands and was about to strike her across the face. To this day I will never forget the fear in her eyes. That was a turning point for me in our marriage. I never wanted, ever, ever, to do that again. My mother and father were both alcoholics and they used to beat each other up as far as I can remember. The day I lifted my hands towards my wife was the worst moment in my life. I was also in ministry. That day has been in my mind and heart forever since. I am glad it is. I know she has forgiven me and that God had forgiven me. But, I am glad I have never forgotten it because it is a stark reminder just how evil I was and hoe Satan can use even Christians to mess things up and bring disdain to God's Holy name and that is something I never ever would do again, and have never ever thought of doing again. Just me telling this story brings pain and shame. I have also shared my story with my church and during counselling others. The point I always try and make is that the Gospel of Christ truly can change a person and sanctify them to a point where sin and abuse to others, especially one's spouse becomes repugnant to them, even the mere thought.. Since then, Ephesians 5:25-33 has been my go to portion of Scripture as a reminder of how I am to love my wife. I am thankful for Christ's redeeming and sanctifying work, so much so, that my sons, now in their mid twenties, tell us that we are an icon and an example of what marriage should be. Believe it or not, so do my inlaws as well. I say that, because when I first met my wife and when we first got married, they did not like me at all. But, I thank God that they too have seen what Jesus can do and they have remarked on that quite often Do I still fail here and there? ABSOLUTELY! But, I thank the Lord for my wife that is not only my gift but the person who keeps me in check and honest all the time. Thank you Tom and Jennifer and Justin for your story. I can certainly relate. Ephesians 5:25-33 (ESV). 25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.a 28In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30because we are members of his body. 31“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

[@juliagrace1242]

This video is so filled with grace and truth! I loved this interview! God is so good!

[@marthaj67]

Thank you for sharing this, brother Justin. It does give me hope. I so wish I could find help here locally for my husband and me. We have no church home and our search for one has been _tremendously_ difficult. My husband is a wonderful provider, but is still very much a "baby" Christian. He's never progressed in his walk since he was saved. Sometimes I wonder if he really IS saved, but that's not for me to say. I can't see his heart, but I can see his fruit -- or lack thereof. My father passed away more than 20 years ago and having no pastor (or pastor's wife) to turn to is discouraging. I feel as if I've been wandering in the wilderness for 20+ years. I don't know why God has not seen fit to answer my prayer for help, but I keep putting one foot in front of the other, hoping He soon will.

[@taylorself]

I pray you will find a Church but also someone you can talk to who has experienced the same issues you are now experiencing. It should be someone who will help you respond Biblically. I have been married 44 yrs and in a similar situation. I have recently seen a change in my husband. It's as if he finally realized the truth straight from the word of God. God bless and keep you...

This was such an encouraging interview! And it is ALWAYS a blessing to see when marriages are restored through Christ! It really upsets me that some professing Christians would rather support the world’s ideologies of the “victim” mentality as opposed to seeing the gospel at work in people’s lives.

Thank you Justin for giving them a platform.

[@mikeyonce2323]

Justin, Tom, and Jennifer, thank you for a wonderful interview. I had heard various bits and pieces, but was glad to hear it from Tom and Jennifer themselves. In today's hipster church, who says we need to be authentic, honest, and open, well, here you go! And what did they get, their story being weaponized to use against Tom and Jennifer both. Tom, because he is a well known pastor in the SBC who takes strong biblical stands on many issues. And Jennifer, who they wanted to bring her ball and come and play with them, wouldn't do it. What these evil people did, just like Joseph's brothers, is being used of God for good. Now, because of all of this, many MORE couples will hear their story and come to know how God's grace can change hearts and lives, for their benefit, and His glory.

[@stevesawatsky6480]

How do you know this marriage is solid? Jennifer can speak freely and openly. There is no sign of isolation or control. She can speak openly on social media on her own accounts. As someone who verbally abused my husband in the first five years of my marriage until God brought me to my knees, I believe Tom. If God can change Paul on the Road to Damascus, He can change anyone.

This reminds me so much of when my parents went through a bad time in their marriage. My Dad left and moved in with another woman. All the advice my Mom got was to divorce him. She refused to do that and with a lot of prayer from us he came back and when my Mom passed away in 2008 they had been married for 51 years. The situation was a bit different and there was some witchcraft involved but God worked it all out and there were no problems after he came home.

[@anamuntean3276]

@@arthapeterson5239 You’re obviously not a Christ follower Your advise is the opposite of the gospel. I have been and currently living in an extremely abusive marriage for 27 years. Maybe 3 out of the 27 were descent. The rest have been nothing but a struggle to survive. My husband has done and at some level continue to do so everything a person can do to destroy a marriage. Drug addiction for years, pornography addiction, gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, arrests he lost count of, restraining orders from our home for 3 years, numerous affairs, verbal, physical abuse, financially controlling, but most destructive to me is the emotional and mental torment. He also has been diagnosed with ADHD. After so many years in this I am struggling with a severe depression and fibromyalgia. We as of today bee have 4 kids struggling with anxiety and depression also, my husband had to be forced to leave the house for the past year and just 3 months ago has been diagnosed with colon cancer stage 3. Not only has he not paid attention to Gods warnings, he had gotten more angry and defiant. Having shared all that with you, I still felt uncomfortable with you giving this advice to this woman. I have never been closer to my God or seek Him as much as I have been living this way. This is my criss to bare and God is helping me through it. Romans 8:28 had been my family’s verse for years. Leaving a marriage does not resolve anything. You’re just changing one set of problems for different ones.

This couple was able to repair, restore, and enhance their marriage through Godly, biblical counseling. They have tried for many years to help other Christian couples with their troubled marriages. This should be lauded and uplifted, but instead, the SBC has criticized them and tried to destroy their reputations. The SBC is a lost denomination. Why any church would want to remain in this institution is beyond me?

Wonderful testimony of Gods grace and mercy for those who are called according to His purposes. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, *will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you* [1 Peter 5 v10]
