[quote=Anonymous]I was close to the epicenter of evangelical world and ministry culture. In general, these are cruel people in real life. But they know how to present themselves online and in public settings and know how to say the right things and how to present ideas and make it seem genuine.

A pp mentioned a local celebrity pastor and family that wasn’t what they portrayed. I totally believe that. That behavior is so common.

So Jen comes from and was developed in that world. I know narcissism talk is all the rage but I don’t think people don’t quite grasp yet (myself included) that charm and knowing what to say and seeming endearing at times is part of how they got to where they are and that it’s part of the act.

Normal people don’t try to become well known teachers or influencers. There are too many gross and dishonest things you have to do to even become that. The corruption starts way at the beginning IMO.

It’s just now that the evangelical modest but straight shooter persona is behind her the modest mask has slipped quite a bit. But she still knows how to turn it on sometimes.

I’ll grant that people are complicated and can be a mix of bad and good but the dark stuff I saw in ministry worlds where Jen was Queen Bee just really makes it difficult for me to give much leniency to the people at the top.[/quote]
