1. In early Nov of 2023 I was invited by IHOPKC leadership & the Advocate Group (AG) to help bring mediation between the 2 groups. My clearly stated objective was to help IHOPKC come to agreement in walking out a mutually agreed upon 3rd party investigation with the AG.

2. In early Dec IHOP invited me to serve on their Board of Directors. I accepted, believing this role would help us get to that agreement. Unfortunately I was wrong. Thru each iteration of IHOP leadership we have been unable to reach a mutually agreed upon 3rd party investigation

@samueljhood_ Thx Samuel. This isn't my actual resignation letter. This was meant to be a simple statement to let people know I was no longer in any formal role. I need a little time to process before sharing more of my story. I know it matters. I just wanna do it with a right heart. Thx again

Some of the most powerful words we can say as husbands & dads to create beautiful marriages & fams r the same words that pastors & leaders can use to create healthy cultures & they're simple... We just gotta mean em: "I'm sorry; I was wrong; please forgive me..."

@ZadokChurch @blaiseforet @seanfeucht Words are important. So how about these words: she was 14. He was a 25 year old pastor with a wife and children. He worked and manipulated her for the last 40 plus years of her life. Even up until this last January. Those words are factual.

@Joel7Richardson @lancewallnau Thx for calling this out Joel. I've never heard of this Lance Wallnau guy but if he has any kind of platform or influence in the body of Christ he's dangerous... As are any pastors or leaders who r not not deeply grieved by the egregious sin of clergy sexual abuse being exposed

@ThouArtTheMan Is this real? Mark has elders that aren’t part of that local body? Not only wildly unbiblical IMO but dangerous… those of us that lead large churches need healthy systems that hold us accountable & keep the body safe

JC: "There4 if u r offering ur gift at the altar & there remember that ur bro or sis has something against u, leave ur gift there in front of the altar. 1st go & b reconciled to them; then come & offer your gift." I wonder if a little revival might come if we did more of this?

@joshjrainwater @Joel7Richardson Hi Josh. My allegiance is to Jesus. So if there were to be a truly independent 3rd party investigation that the AG & IHOP agreed upon in unity that led to that conclusion then yes I would. I'm not in this for a trophy or praise from people. I just want truth & healing for all

I Cor 13 gives us God's definition of love & it's pretty different than the worlds: "love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, love isn't selfish"... IOW: love is far more a choice than an emotion; far more about what I DO than what I FEEL...

@zhuangcorp If I remember right I wasn't on the board when that decision was made. If I was I was never asked about it. I can't speak for anyone else but because that investigation wasn't mutually agreed upon & the AG wasn't a part of it IMO it's insufficient.

He also preaches the true Apostolic Gospel so he's not a false teacher. He's also using his gifts to advance the Kingdom of God. How r using urs?
