One problem w/ pastors like Jared is that their callous condemnation, arrogant certainty & lack of empathy permeates their ministries & is not limited to cruelty on a single issue.

A bruised reed & flickering flame are gladly crushed & extinguished by such people. https://twitter.com/jaredhmoore/status/1296862940985995265

How can one tend a congregation & not be gutted by the anguish & suffering of fellow Christ followers?

Damaging to those who struggle w/ depression & suicidal ideation & gut wrenching to so many who have lost loved ones to death by suicide.

If only this kind of fervor & passion were directed against predators & enablers in Jared's SBC world.

The greatest harm is done when the hurting believe such pastors accurately reflect the heart of the Lord.

Our mental health is more fragile than any of us wish to believe.
