I was closely involved with much that's reported in this story.
I was a longtime GCC member and a staff member during David Gray's tenure. I knew him and his family.
I know some of the women referenced, and some of these stories. They are the tip of a toxic iceberg. 1/3
There are more women in churches affiliated with GCC through TMS and the ACBC world, with stories that are just as bad as these. Mine was a pale shadow in comparison. But it's because of what I endured that I feel such holy anger on their behalf. 2/3
The more experienced you are with how hard it is to be heard and believed, the more gratitude you feel when it happens anywhere.
God bless Hohn Cho for his costly work on behalf of the abused.
And God bless @kateshellnutt for stewarding and reporting this story so well. 3/3
#coda - God bless @reachjulieroys for her courageous and relentless early reporting, which drew her so much ire and wrath from MacArthur loyalists.

With respect and love, the argument that the reason so many women live within complementarian/partriarchal systems is because they "choose" to, or because they believe it will benefit them, is a strawman and a myth. 1/
Many women in comp/patriarchal systems are born into them physically and/or spiritually. And we are (or were) shaped to believe that giving up our agency is the first step towards flourishing in them. And so we do (did). 2/
Most often, the women who move out of these systems do so because they are either massively externally resourced to do so, or they are so crushed and destroyed by them that they must do so for the sake of their own spiritual and physical survival 3/
