Here's my take. 
So much of the American Church has become so consumer driven in the past few decades. Megachurches, cult of personality, pastor sneaker, private jets, Six Flags Over Jesus, aka Christian Me Camp.

Jen came out of that. Before they started ANC she and B were at a snooty Westlake church that wanted real bad to be a megachurch like 2nd Baptist in Houston or Fellowship in Grapevine or Saddleback or Hillsong. That's where she first tried to be Cute Famous Jesus Lovin Jen and published a few books, but it hit a wall. Schtick fail #1.

So then they decide to become the sjw-erist Christian SJWs you can possibly be. They were the BEST CHRISTIAN SJWs EVAH Y'ALL. Problem was, as the many ex-ANC members on this board have testified, they really, like, weren't that into it. Running a church is really hard and boring and real homeless people are, like, icky. They had some great members who happily then begrudgingly floated them for years until they stabbed them in the back by announcing that ANC had decided to becoming LGBT+ affirming. Problem was, only jen and brandon and tray had actually decided that. So then the friends who had already clued into the fact that Brandon (and Tray) sucked at the whole pastoring a church thing but were happy for everyone else to do the actual work so that Jen could post it on her socials then disappear again came to their senses and left.

Schtick fail #2.

I mean the guy they hired to take over the BEST CHRISTIAN SJWs EVAH Y'ALL church came from JOEL OSTEEN. Whose church is a bajillion dollar 24/7 me-camp. The guy they claimed to be the opposite of. JOEL. EFFING. OSTEEN.

At the end of the day, it's always been about Jen. She's been at Me Camp ~50 years going strong. She's evolved from being a product of Consumer Christianity to being a diplomat for it. Same song, updated lyrics. Jen hasn't changed at all. We were just gullible. Y'all. Until we weren't. [/quote]
