Episode notes
Wes's Journey From Interest To Rejection
- Wes traced his concern from early theological unease to specific abuse-handling cases and a provocative book on a sex robot.
- Those cumulative experiences pushed him from cautious use of Wilson's apologetics to complete rejection.
Pastoral Failures Trump Gifts
- The 'ugly' around Wilson centers on severe pastoral misjudgments in abuse cases and crude language about women.
- These actions undermine any theological or rhetorical strengths he may have had.
Research Before Embracing Leaders
- Do your own deep research and examine primary documents before trusting Wilson or similar figures.
- Look at resources like Truth About Moscow and Examining Doug Wilson and Christchurch to verify claims.
