I wholeheartedly agree with you. I've always heard it said that if you truly love someone, you will always have the courage to tell them the truth, regardless of whether they want it at that moment or not. It speaks to a deeper level of care and commitment. It also shows that true care isn't always expressed in the gentlest way on the surface.
On a completely different note, it does seem rather telling that Chapell and Hansen apparently wouldn't have issued a public apology if someone hadn't taken a screenshot and publicized their actions. It suggests their apology is more of a reaction to being caught rather than a genuine expression of remorse.
This is an insightful article . There’s definitely truth in your statement “You can't be a faithful shepherd if you're a coward.” There are too many pastors out there who yearn more to be liked than for simply communicating biblical truths. Preaching should only point to Christ. Not to man.
I recognized several names on that list, but couldn't help but notice one name that is, I think, on there twice. How distressing. Thank you 😊 🙏 for this article; very helpful.

Yes, they apologized for getting caught!

As someone who spent many years in the PCA this is not surprising. Sad, but not surprising

Yeah. Very bizarre behavior to have a list like this
Wow! Truth has the habit of being filtered through unexpected means unexpectedly…!
