Wagner is one of the first men to call out in this much detail the toxic effects of evangelicalism’s distorted views of sexuality and masculinity. From your November post on Wagner’s book: “A pastor who needs blocking software to not look at porn or needs the Billy Graham rule to avoid sexualizing interactions with women is, quite simply, not fit to be a pastor. God isn't paranoid or afraid of false accusations. God values the actual integrity of his leaders, not the mere appearance of integrity. If our hope is in God and not our institutions, we'll be able to face the communal and financial disruption that will come if we hold leaders accountable. Let's believe women when they say they have been sinned against. Let's include women in the process of disciplining church leaders. This is the good, just, and righteous thing to do.”
