The Roys Report

I’m the son of a southern Baptist minister. So grateful for this podcast and the work of Julie Roys. Wonder why the church is shrinking, that trust in religion is waning? Listen to her expert reporting, rooting out true evil in the church which has been destroying lives.

Yay Julie!!! I was so excited by Mr. Mercy Culture ‘s diatribe about you ( I still CANNOT get irony of that name!). When you poke the nests, the snakes or rats ( or whatever) bite back! You are doing the work of Jesus! You are speaking truth to power-like Jesus to the Pharisees, like John the Baptist to Herod, yes like Elijah to these pastors’ fave queen -Jezebel! Landon and others are running scared. His tantrum is a great ad for your work!! Please keep going sister!!! We need you!

This organization does some important work exposing true abusers, but it has gone way too far into unhelpful and divisive content. Some of the podcast interviews discuss local church matters with disgruntled x-members of churches. The critique of Lakepointe is founded on an interview of someone who just seems upset that her favorite ministry was changed by the vision of new leadership. Do better. The church does not need such gossip….this was not hidden sin. There was nothing to expose. Do better.

First time listener and was recommended your podcast on Spotify today. I listened to the episode titled “The Body of Christ Keeps the Score” with the guest Kayleigh Clark, discussing the impacts of communal suffering and trauma. This was so thoughtful and thought provokingly beautiful. I am a huge fan of the book the title references, “The Body Keeps the Score”, and cannot seem to stop engaging in trauma informed content related to the American church, as it caused a lot of trauma in my own life and story. I am so encouraged by this conversation and there was one example and quote about how Jesus interacted with hurting people out of a beautiful, humble posture of compassionate curiosity. And how that posture is so beautiful and a model for people and pastors to lead being trauma informed and compassionately curious. Very thankful to have stumbled across this today and looking forward to listening more.
