What post about her dad? I'm not seeing this anywhere?

I actually did like what she had to say about parenting in that story though. It was pure throwback JH.

I'm guessing the "we" might be Jen and her agent shopping her new book around.

The agent that introduced her to Tyler?

I've noticed that she uses "we" all the time. "We" have an exciting new offer for you! "We" just got some new merch! Is this the royal we or are there people hiding around the corner and out of the picture? As my English high school teacher used to say, "Be more specific!"

I think she loves referring to her team (“we”) to sort of emphasize what a celebrity she is that she has a whole TEAM (entourage). 🥱🥱🥱

To be fair, have you ever hear of the abuse at the boy scouts? Or form coaches at high schools? Abuse is not just at Christian camps. It’s in every organization where kids are involved. They are preyed upon. Doesn’t mean you don’t let your kids go to high school or join a team.

I think she was blindsided by this and I'm sure there's a lot of grief and trauma being processed right now. There's no way you don't second-guess everything that's happened over the last 15 years and wonder if any of it was real at this point.

I hope for the best for them, especially the kids. They're all high school and college age so they absolutely know what's going on, there's no shielding them.

Between this, the revelation of cover-ups at the highest level among Southern Baptists of sexual predators in the denomination--often youth pastors--and the Camp Kanakuk (I might be spelling that wrong) revelations, I think a lot of people are feeling deeply disillusioned. My parents are lifelong Souther Baptists, and I mean Sunday school teachers, deacon, missionaries, the whole nine--and my mom recently said in despair "is there anyone left we can trust?" My dad said "I don't know, but <7-year-old grandson> can't go to Christian camp." That is HUGE. Seeing my nephew go to Christian camp would have been my dad's dream at one point, and now he's like nope, not worth the risk.

Good point--it's a flex.

Guess not.

Tyler seems like an overgrown baby. Why does Jen attach herself to him? He’s such a try hard. Brandon is such a huge try hard too, describing himself as a VP as he tries to hock real estate after a few years. Who are these people? Everything is fake and in the surface. No real depth.

…and why do so many of her clothes look uncomfortably tight, and too small for her (my turn to be shallow i guess)

JMHO, but I don't understand why anyone would pay to listen to Jen & Tyler speak. Are they experts on anything? What can they say to make someone "Dream Again"? I guess that's her new career, motivational speaker. Sounds like they should be speaking at MLM conferences.

Missed it - do you have a link?

She posts picture of them and he posts pictures of him. He seems embarrassed of her. It’s one thing to not reciprocate her over the top posts and gestures, but it’s another altogether to post a solo photo of your joint speaking engagement.

He doesn’t want a digital footprint with her on his page. It’s why even the rare times he posts about her, you wouldn’t know they were a couple. It reads as if this is a dear friend he cares about.
