239: Purity Culture IS Rape Culture
Whenever I say the phrase "Purity Culture is Rape Culture," my DMs and comments explode with angry people asking why I'm attacking people who decide to practice abstinence.I thought I'd explain what I mean when I say this phrase in this short video.Purity Culture is much bigger than the mere concept of abstinence – it's a toxic CULTURE that generally places the weight of all sexual violation or perceived wrongdoing on the shoulders of women while alleviating all responsibility on the man's part.Support the Preacher Boys Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast________________Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting:– preacherboysdoc.com– https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/– https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc– https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

237: The Twisted World of Harvest Baptist Church and Ex-Missionary Jordan Webb
On this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric sits down with Elizabeth Saenz a former student at Harvest Baptist Bible College in Fort Dodge Iowa.We talk about the strange environment at the church and college, as well as the recent scandal involving Jordan Webb – who she knew early on at Mountain View Baptist Church in Hesperia, CA, then reconnected with at college.Ex-Missionary Jordan Webb was arrested on April 25 at the Fort Dodge home of Cameron Giovanelli, a registered sex offender. According to testimony from Webster County Attorney’s Office Investigator Larry Hedlund, Webb had also been driving Giovanelli’s car that week.He was charged with second-degree sexual abuse with persons under the age of 12 (a Class B Felony) and incest (a Class D Felony), as well as child endangerment (an Aggravated Misdemeanor).Marvin Smith IV, assistant pastor and missions director at Harvest Baptist Church submitted a letter in support of Webb for his bond hearing.In a text message conversation submitted into evidence by the state, Smith said to Webb, "I'm going to need to write a check to you for the lawyer fee. Pastor said it will look better than the church being responsible for extra costs after the $25,000."+++++++Support the Preacher Boys Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast________________Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting:– preacherboysdoc.com– https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/– https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc– https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

235: The Dangers of "Celebrity Pastors" | Katelyn Beaty
Purchase a copy of Celebrities for Jesus here: https://amzn.to/3S0DWngMany Christian leaders use their fame and influence to great effect. Whether that popularity resides at the local church level or represents national or international influence, many leaders have effectively said to their followers, "Follow me as I follow Christ." But fame that is cultivated for its own sake, without attendant spiritual maturity and accountability, has a shadow side that runs counter to the heart of the gospel. Celebrity--defined as social power without proximity--has led to abuses of power, the cultivation of persona, and a fixation on profits.In light of the fall of famous Christian leaders in recent years, the time has come for the church to reexamine its relationship to celebrity. Award-winning journalist Katelyn Beaty explores the ways fame has reshaped the American church, explains how and why celebrity is woven into the fabric of the evangelical movement, and identifies many ways fame has gone awry in recent years. She shows us how evangelical culture is uniquely attracted to celebrity gurus over and against institutions, and she offers a renewed vision of ordinary faithfulness, helping us all keep fame in its proper place.+++++++KATELYN BEATY is a journalist, editor, and keen observer of trends in the American church. She has written for the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Washington Post, Religion News Service, Religion & Politics, and The Atlantic and has commented on faith and culture for CNN, ABC, NPR, the Associated Press, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She is cohost of the Saved by the City podcast (Religion News Service) and previously served as print managing editor at Christianity Today. She’s the author of Celebrities for Jesus: How Personas, Platforms, and Profits Are Hurting the Church (Brazos Press, 2022) and A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World (Simon & Schuster, 2016).+++++++Support the Preacher Boys Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast________________Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting:– preacherboysdoc.com– https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/– https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc– https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.
