Hey guys! Newbie here. How long can videos be maximally here on Counter Social? Thank you!

"We are not called to protect our institutions, nor do we protect the God of truth by covering up sin and/or a crime. To do so is to “protect” a cancer – and cancer kills. We honor God by caring for the wounded and by dragging sin to the light and calling it by its right name." - Diane Langberg, PhD #Trauma #ChurchToo #MeToo

I can’t unsubscribe from the RNC mailing list… no matter how many times I’ve tried. Might need an exorcist? #politics

In David French's Sunday newsletter, he mentions #Kanakuk
and the aftermath.

Those who sought justice for this dreadful misconduct, are obliterated by the Christian institutions they served.

#DavidFrench

One of core conservative Christian critiques of American culture is that America is growing ever-more hostile to the authentic Christian faith. We’ve left a friendly and hospitable past, and now we’re confronting a hostile future.

But this analysis is fundamentally wrong. It’s dangerously wrong. #politics #Christianity #Faith

Joe White, founder of KAA, overlooked a decade of nude activities with kids that resulted in an estimated hundreds of children being abused. These 'church wounds' matter, as you, Lecrae, boldly point out. Let's pay attention to victims' stories. /12 https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/frenchpress/they-arent-who-you-think-they-are/

Also, casual attitudes toward nudity and toxic purity teachings at #Kanakuk provided fertile ground for a predators who used nudity and discussions about sexuality to groom victims. /11 https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2022/05/26/camp-kanakuk-nudity-culture-hid-abuse-grooming-pete-newman-branson/9654342002/

But this is not 'old news.' Please read, Lecrae, how a female abuse victim was treated in 2016. #Kanakuk did not even allow her to call her parents after she was molested and forced her to spend time with her abuser. /10 https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2022/05/26/kanakuk-kamps-camper-reported-sexual-assault-denied-call-home-leave/9827342002/

As Lecrae trends for speaking out against spiritual abuse and wounds, it would be a good moment for CEO Randy Odom and KAA to re-evaluate their connection to Joe White and Kanakuk. This article describes what happened: /9

These victimized children have the 'church wounds' that
Lecrae sings about - meted out by people associated with KAA. In fact, several have died, including Trey Carlock who was so victimized by Pete Newman,
#Kanakuk, and their associates that he died via suicide in 2019. /8

An estimated 'hundreds' of children have been abused by #Kanakuk predators, most notably Pete Newman, but also others like Corbie Dale Grimes, Paul Green, Chuck Price, Lee Bradberry, Robert John Morgan, Ed Ringheim, and others. /7

White has not come clean about how #Kanakuk, one of America’s largest Christian camps, enabled and covered up horrific abuse. They still are covering up this abuse to this day. /6

Kids Across America is a ministry of #Kanakuk. Today, as
Lecrae speaks powerfully about 'church wounds,' would be a good day for KAA and their CEO Randy Odom to think soberly about breaking their connection to Kanakuk and Joe White. /5

Joe White is the CEO of #Kanakuk
Kamps and serves as the CEO and Board Chair of Kanakuk Ministries and founder of Kids Across America. White oversaw the 'worst evangelical sex scandal you've never heard of,' the systematic abuse of an estimated 'hundreds' of children. /4

For example, he does 4th of July concerts there and advertises for KAA. Watch this video in which he describes how KAA has affected his life and his children's lives: https://www.facebook.com/watch/

KAA is a ministry of #Kanakuk, as shown from this screen shot of Kanakuk's website taken today. Lecrae
is associated with KAA in various ways. /2

Lecrae is trending because his new song talks powerfully about him deconstructing (& re-enlisting to) his faith. He talks about Christian leaders whose teachings he later found hurtful which turned into 'church wounds.' Let's talk about Kids Across America. /1
