Support SURVIVOR PROM: https://survivor-prom.causevox.com/
Survivor Prom is an unforgettable experience put together by Survivors of the Troubled Teen Industry.
Every year thousands of children are taken out of the safety and comfort of their homes and transported into congregate care facilities, often labeled "Troubled Teen" facilities. Survivors of these programs report horrific emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. And in addition to mourning what they experienced INSIDE the program, Survivors also mourn the experiences they were robbed of during the most formidable and impactful years of their lives.
Survivor Prom is Prom. It's a party. Thrown in honor of adults who have endured so much, that they may reclaim just one small part of their teenage dream.
Please consider a monetary gift today to the Survivors making Prom a reality.

In this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, host Eric talks to Lauren Eggers about her experiences growing up in the Independent Fundamental Baptist church.

While Lauren's early experiences in the IFB church were largely positive, she started to discover that the world around her was far from perfect.

In this episode, we talk about:
– attending Hyles Anderson College after the Schaap incident
– the failure of the "Jericho Program"
– the severe expectations on women in the IFB
– Lauren's traumatic experience with a man who disregarded her wishes and took advantage of her, and the difficulty of sharing that with others.

I appreciate Lauren bravely sharing her story and I know it will encourage all who listen!

Armed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire--the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime your daughter for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep her from setting healthy boundaries.

Instead, the authors advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who can navigate the tumultuous teenage years while still clinging tightly to Jesus.

You can raise your daughter with the discernment to resist toxic teachings. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small.

In episode #246, we discussed the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, president of Bob Jones University in South Carolina.
Pettit took office in 2014, a year after a GRACE report that revealed how the college's leadership had mishandled numerous cases of abuse that occurred both on and off campus.
Survivors claimed that in cases that took place at the school, proper authorities were not notified, and in many cases, victims in counseling at BJU were blamed for bringing the abuse on themselves.
Many people hoped that Pettit's appointment would bring about much-needed change. However, on March 31, 2023, almost nine years after taking office, Pettit resigned from BJU.
Just a few days before his resignation, he wrote a five-page letter that revealed several concerning issues about Dr. John Lewis, Chairman BJU's board of trustees.
Pettit accused Lewis of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership, adopting a posture of secrecy and hostility toward the board and the administration. He also claimed that Lewis interfered with the reporting of a sexual harassment case to the school's designated Title IX coordinator, among other things. Pettit threatened to resign if Lewis remained in office.
In a surprising turn of events, on April 6, Dr. John Lewis tendered his resignation as well.
Dr. Steve Pettit (whose official final day at BJU is May 5th) issued a statement regarding Lewis’ resignation, saying,
“Late this afternoon, I was notified that Bob Jones University Board of Trustees Chairman Dr. John Lewis has resigned from the Board of Trustees effective immediately. He has served BJU for 32 years as a board member and seven years as chairman. His desire was to honor the mission and vision of BJU and he worked tirelessly to that end. During his tenure, the University secured regional accreditation through SACSCOC and regained our tax exemption. I wish Dr. Lewis God’s best.”
The reason for Lewis’ resignation has not immediately been given – it’s also unclear whether Lewis’ resignation will affect Pettit’s decision to resign.
Regardless, it's clear that change is coming to Bob Jones University.

On this episode of the Preacher Boys podcast, Eric Skwarczynski chats with IBLP survivor Emily Elizabeth Anderson about Jinger Duggar Vuolo's new book, Becoming Free Indeed.

In this episode, Emily shares her thoughts on the book and its portrayal of the dangerous theology of Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).

Emily talks about how she appreciated Jinger's specific references to the implications of Gothard's teachings and stories, even if they weren't directly stated in IBLP materials. However, Emily also raises concerns about Jinger's continued reluctance to hold her parents accountable for their role in her upbringing.

Another issue discussed in the episode is Jinger's problematic association with John MacArthur and her privileged position as a celebrity in evangelical culture. Emily brings up the experiences of other women who may have had different, less fortunate experiences.

Finally, Emily and Eric delve into Jinger's word choice and whether or not she accurately labeled IBLP as a cult.

Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation on the Preacher Boys podcast.

In this episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, Eric Skwarczynski talks about the resignation of Dr. Steve Pettit, the president of Bob Jones University.
The resignation comes after Pettit wrote a five-page letter accusing Dr. John Lewis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, of holding off-site secret meetings without informing key university leadership. Pettit also claims that Lewis has taken actions to obstruct and impede the university's Title XI investigation into a sexual harassment case.
Pettit's resignation is a shocking development, given the hope many placed in him to bring positive change to the institution after the GRACE report revealed the mishandling of abuse cases at the university in the early 2010s.
Eric reads much of Pettit's letter verbatim and discusses the implications of these allegations.
