An Open Letter to Carolyn McCulley

An open letter to the former mouth piece of Sovereign Grace who attends Acts 29 Redeemer Arlington. Is Carolyn mellowing with age and maturing? She is not pushing the 9 Marks or other Neo-Calvinist items as much. Plus she is also speaking about sex abuse on her Twitter feed. Will she cross the bridge and speak to the abuse issues in Sovereign Grace? 

A Fourth Open Letter to Jordan Kauflin (On Redeemer Arlington Using Mark Driscoll)

This is an open letter to Jordan Kauflin at Redeemer Arlington. This letter is about Redeemer once using Mark Driscoll in their church. Driscoll, despite the red flags and concerns, was deeply popular with the Neo-Calvinist movement. And that included churches like Redeemer Arlington. This post asks why did Jordan Kauflin and Eric Simmons use Driscoll? Was it worth it especially in light of how he turned out? You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that he was a corrupt and misguided individual who should not be in a position of authority and teaching. What does it say about doctrine when people like Redeemer use questionable individuals? 

An Open Letter to Brian Habeth of Wooded Hills (How Did that Rapture Work Out for You After Iraqi Freedom?)

Brian Habeth from Wooded Hills had a birthday the other day. In addition he also recently sent me a message warning me about my soul. This is an open letter that is a response to Brian and Wooded Hills. When I think of the extreme charismatic theology and Christian nationalism that takes place at Wooded Hills, if that is what being a Christian is like, well then Hell will be like Heaven for me. 

#Youngerself. What Advice Would I Give Myself at 25?

Recently on Twitter there was a hastag of what you could tell yourself at the age of 25. Many people posted a lot of ideas they wish they could advise their younger self. This is my open letter to my younger self. This is coming from someone  in their 40’s. The basic theme of the letter? Dave, stay away from Evangelical Christianity. If you stay away you will spare yourself a lot of pain and trauma. This is what l would say to myself if l could.

An Open Letter to Someone I Know From McLean Bible (McLean is Not the Church You Think it is…)

Recently at McLean Bible I bumped into someone I knew. My history with this person goes back for years. They asked me if I am still involved in McLean Bible and this is my response. McLean is not the church that people think it is. There is a lot of dark allegations under the surface. Plus I also explain why I am a done to the modern evangelical church to this person. 

An Open Letter to Greg Strand (Will the EFCA Take D.A. Carson Attacking a Sexual Assault Victim Seriously in the #churchtoo Era?)

An open letter to Greg Strand. This is encouraging the EFCA to address the issue of D.A. Carson attacking a sexual assault victim in support of C.J. Mahaney. Its time for the EFCA to act and do the right thing. After all Al Mohler of the Southern Baptists has recanted and addressed the issue. Why is the EFCA staying silent? 

Dear Wooded Hills Church, l am Serving You My Divorce Papers

This is a letter of divorce to my former third wave evangelical church outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Known as Wooded Hills this is a church that is deeply charismatic, highly political, and very much toxic. In 2016 a number of people attacked me on social media and I realized that this is not the place that I thought it to be. This is a cult and a place to be avoided. This open letter explains a number of problems with Wooded Hills.
