I wrote a book on overcoming accusation not to sell books, but to give language to what the vast majority of believers are feeling and sensing. (Link in comments) “Christian TMZ” — aka the “Failure Porn Cartel” or “Condemnation Culture” — is loud. It is fueled by the flesh, not by the Spirit. It is an assault on the Gospel itself. You can not have encounters with God and in obedience to the Spirit say such things. There are two kinds of people driving it 1. Those who build significance by posting video after video — very Candace Owens-like in style. Full of insinuation and religiously camouflaged opinion. Often cynical. Many seem less concerned with whether something is true and more concerned with whether people believe it is true. The collateral damage is devastating. The exploitation of pain is pervasive. 2. Those who flood the comments with vile and hateful statements. The people posting these videos rarely call for restraint or caution in the comment section. Why? Because they know exactly what they are stirring up. All of this is an assault on mercy, grace, forgiveness, and redemption. You will notice something else: the people making exposure videos never make videos exposing their own worst sins. Why? Because somehow their sin is always treated as less severe than the people they target. I have noticed that those who do ask for forgiveness or take ownership of things brought to light are NEVER given grace. Rather the repentance is judged through the lens of the cartel. I am convinced they want people to either kill themselves or go to Hell based on the replies and the public shames heaped upon people. Most, (not all), of what is called "church hurt" is not real. Sorry. It is not. You don't like authority or simply are not under any real spiritual covering. I FULLY KNOW THAT this post does not answer every legitimate question — and I understand that. Questions about accountability, justice, alleged victims, and how to address "fallen leaders" matter deeply. I intend to address those issues in future videos because they are valid questions. Most importantly, I want to see Jesus loved supremely above all else, and I want to see the Church love and build one another up instead of tearing each other apart. You want to come alive today? Go tell someone else about Jesus! Go spend an hour in prayer. Give yourself to a season of fasting. Watch what happens. Go read "Why revival tarries" by Ravenhill. You will find yourself on the floor repenting of your sins. Go serve in your church. Pray for your pastor. Encourage someone who is hurting. Love people more than ever. Life is too short to be triggered all the time. In the words of Tony Robbins: “Life is not what happens to you. It is the story you tell yourself about what happens to you.”

Speaking truth is often considered a threat to the church. A mind-boggling reaction when God makes it very clear that the true church is to bring light *into* darkness. That means seeing what things really look like and calling them by their right name.
