To be like Jesus is not to embrace abuse. It is not to remain silent in the face of violence. It is not to diminish yourself so that another can inflate their power. To be like Jesus is to live courageously in truth. It is to resist degradation. It is to steward pain into fertile soil. It is to move from inane suffering into redemptive suffering, where even death can give way to resurrection life.

If the church is to bear Christ’s name, then it must be clear: Jesus never blesses abuse. Jesus never demands submission to violence. Jesus never sides with darkness.

I have never met a sexually healthy arrogant man. True sexual health comes at a cost, and normally that cost is some type of suffering which has produced an authentic humility. A sexually healthy man is humble in the way he gives and receives pleasure, attuned to his partner, and aware of both his glory and his depravity.

The weaponizing of the word “crazy” by men who want to keep women small and silent is out of control. You’re not crazy, but you are a prophet and a truth-teller, and you exposing the truth is a threat to those in a position of power.

Remember what they did to the prophets of the Bible? Tarred, feathered and set on fire. 

You got this. Truth is liberation for all.
