The Naked Armor Bearer speaks

His first post is the beginning of his crying out...

We have a problem, and it must be fixed quickly. We need a miracle. It is not only a problem with the individual Pastor. The problem is what we have allowed Pastors to become. They have become something they were never meant to be - idols, a privileged class, first among equals, someone above question, someone with veto power when they are on trial. -

You will recognise the name:

The Naked Armor Bearer

. If you have been reading

The Willow Tree

for some time, you know that this man stood tall in the firing line, hearing victims abuse stories, and urging the Senior pastor to resign.

As advocates, it's important we share our story. In doing so, healing comes not just for us, but also for those reading, especially the survivors of our High Control Community (HCC). In many ways, our stories are your stories too.

The Naked Armor Bearer

has begun speaking, no longer silenced. I honour this man—not with the false and ugly "culture of honour" we've been indoctrinated in. And, not because of his titles.

No, I honour this man for his courage, incredible empathy for the broken, and sacrifice. I don't think anyone can truly grasp the immense loss that he and

jemama

have endured. As advocates, we carry a tremendous weight on our shoulders, a burden that is ours alone to bear. We understand this. We embrace God’s calling.
