It’s alive! Loved getting to know @KindaScottish and hearing his character. This series has been so special and we are honored to share Kendall & Ian’s stories. Next week we have them both joining together 🥹 @bbtbpod
As many of you know, Sacred Wilderness has been under an organizational assessment since the end of January. Yesterday we received the full report. At this link you can read our statement as well as the report in its entirety: sacredwilderness.org/post/organizat…
We’ve been asked to make a statement to provide as much clarity as we can while waiting on the assessment in order to protect and care for any survivors who have trusted us. If you follow me or any of my work you will know I have not positioned myself as an expert. 1/
This week we named the church. After 3 episodes of unrelated stories out of this congregation the cost felt too large to keep it censored. Rachel- you are so brave 😭 we are so proud of you. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bod…

@QadoshKyrie@bbtbpod thank you for this, Brian. I'm not sure how I missed it. I forgive you and I really appreciate this apology. it was confusing for all and there's a lot of grace for that.
As I further reflect on this report this morning, a few more things have occurred to me regarding power.
In the survivor community, we are rightly concerned about hierarchy and power, because so often it has been leveraged in order to abuse.
This was horrendous to experience for all parties, including the entire survivor community. We did not make decisions in a vacuum, we sought advice in humility and out of recognition that we are new to this space. 1/
At some point (though today is not the day), I would love to have a convo connected to this thread about leadership and power from @sheilagregoire w.r.t. white colonialism.
None of that convo changes my regret for the anguish I caused in missing the dynamics here. 7/8
However, not all lines of authority/power are necessarily abusive, and just because someone is your employer does not mean that there is abuse present because they make the final decision.
I am also sorry for how long this took me to get out. I had a mental health event the week before the report came out (not related).
I also appreciate those who reached out privately to talk about my questions out of the public eye. 6/8
I also have seen that some have said that they thinking paying Pellucid and @wademullen wasted time and money.
I don’t think it was.
I do think it was SW doing the right thing. And I do think it’s an example that others can point to now and can come with less trepidation. 5/8
I read and posted articles missing the cues of how my responses could be seen and used as weapons against the @bbtbpod and Sacred Wilderness.
I did not see the campaigns for money - and I am not sure if that was blindness on my part or if it didn’t show up in my feed. 3/8
When stuff started to get posted about @johnnarae and @bbtbpod in winter/spring - I missed the social media context that it was happening in.
I wanted to ask questions about leadership as a topic, and in doing so, I missed the hurt happening in my focus. 2/8
Trying to apologize/claim my blind spots as someone who is ND where the rules for NT apologies trigger all of my Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is not easy but here goes 1/8
@pmrodden Absolutely. I was addressing the matter as it pertained to Mr. Castleberry's original post, but...yes...sexual abuse is only one type of abuse, among others, in play.
It is my observation that these demi-gods are able to, in churches, get away with conduct that would get them…
Dived back into listen to @bbtbpod today whilst working out for the first time in the free weights area of the gym.
Highly recommended way to process the ongoing angst of resonating with the stories I'm listening to. 10/10, will do again 💪🏻
@KarefulKarenF@bbtbpod Cause I honestly don’t know. Were the funds raised only as self-support (like they do for YW@M) or for services for survivors? And I’m curious for someone who knows to answer & not just on hearsay.
@hagaroo47@bbtbpod No one’s opinion (including mine) means very little about this entire ordeal. @wademullen does! He is a gifted investigator, researcher, embraced by key Christian leaders. I was neutral on all of this until I read every word of Wade and then made my decision based on his work,
@jonpyle omg. this is such a fun question. i’d for sure want to be on Dax Shepherd’s Pod @ArmchairExpPod
i’d also love to be on @bbtbpod because it would mean i finally felt safe and free enough to name my abuser and i dream of a world where that is true.
also @officeladiespod bc my…
The last few days have made something really clear. There are lots of people who are interested in accountability for “them” but never ever people with whom they have any affinity.
That is recipe for disaster. And one who operates that way has no business leading in the Church.
