#Restore2025
Being a pastor or Christian leader is not a birthright. At #Restore2025, I challenged the entitlement and unaccountability in church leadership. It’s time for true accountability.

Listening to two powerful women share their stories of sexual abuse by IHOP’s Mike Bickle at the Restore2025. Thank you, Tammy Woods and Deborah Perkins for your powerful voices.

Friends - On Friday, I will be publishing a talk I would have given at #Restore2025. It centers around one claim: the treatment of LGBTQIA+ people by non-affirming churches is spiritual abuse. If you could pray that the video is impactful in the right ways, i would appreciate it.
February 7, 2025 at 11:16 AM
I believe the #Restore2025 conference, organized by @julieroys.bsky.social, is incomplete w/o addressing the abuse of LGBTQIA+ people by the church. However, no queer speakers are present. So, I've published the talk I likely would've given if I'd been invited.

The benefits of deconstruction, moving beyond trauma, and defending the role of those exposing hypocrisy were themes of #Restore2025's closing sessions.

"Holding leaders accountable, and exposing them when they’re not, is very biblical,” said Julie Roys.

Do I hate the church? If not, why am I airing its dirty laundry?

Such accusations are often lobbed at The Roys Report. In this talk from #Restore2025, I explain the biblical basis for the journalism work we do, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments.
