Stumbled on a random photo (via Reddit) of Jen in the front row at ANC this weekend. Sitting next to Dave Hollis and the Pruitt’s. Hasn’t her shtick for the past couple of years been to “ditch the ‘church’”?

I’m not mad she went. Maybe she was invited specifically by someone? Maybe she felt led to go (on Easter)? But her post from that very day was about having no interest in “religious systems and hierarchies”.

I don’t know. It just seems like another example of her putting her money where her mouth is. Is she pandering to the popularity of the “church BAD” crowd, when she’s actually still regularly attending?

It’s hard to play that role when everything behind the scenes is grift and scheming.

His addiction certainly played a big part. He’s no victim.

Addiction to WHAT? I know that was speculated but was that every really confirmed? I bet it was her PR machine…

He confirmed an addiction and relapse. He’s still drinking, so I assumed pills. He didn’t confirm the substance.

The post is now gone, but we discussed it here a long time ago.

It was such an uncomfortable listen. I bet Glennon & Abby were secretly thinking the relationship sounded like a hot mess.

Yeah, it's been several months LONG DISTANCE. Their proclamations are a bit much.

What was said in the podcast? I can’t bring myself to listen.

This is copied from the transcript (Tyler was speaking):

I’m going to say this man, and I probably shouldn’t say this in a public forum. I don’t understand how anyone could leave Jen, in the way that Jen has been left before.

Listen, I’m a grown ass man, so I know relationships don’t work out, things change and this that and the other, but I can’t imagine spending 20 plus years with Jennifer Lynn King, and then be okay not still having her around, because you’re that damn good, Jennifer.

I absolutely cringed through this entire part. I was divorced in horrible circumstances a few years ago. I get it that it would feel good to my ego to hear words like the above from my next man- but I also know how manipulated I was before by a narcissist.

Tyler speaking this on air, to millions, is sick and weird and manipulative. And she’s just tiring there like “yes, adore me” while probably focusing more on if B is listening. It’s triangulation on a broad, disgusting scale.

If Tyler was as “grown” and worldly as he pretends to be he’d realize that after three or four months of dating long distance, he doesn’t actually know anything about Jen and her marriage. Jen and Brandon have 5 kids and they are trying to coparent. How is this helpful for their children? Spoiler alert: it isn’t.

And Jen. Enough. Brandon didn’t steal your shine he just knew you long enough to see through the bullshit and you didn’t like it.

This. They are two narcissists giving eachother some supply. He has no business throwing Brandon, a father, under the bus for someone he barely knows. His IG numbers will creep up for a while and he'll love it. Maybe he will milk this for some projects together or a book even. She'll milk the whole interracial couple thing and talk about that a lot and add that together with the whole raising black children into adults thing. She will hope to build cred with a new a new group of people. If they are smart they will keep it an arrangement and not actually fall for each other so they never have to deal with the reality of being human beings and not "on" all the time. For business purposes they will keep up an act. Then part ways as pretend BFFs once it's no longer a sprofitable.

Brandon's in the back thinking...get back to me when you've been with her for 5 years bruh....we can commiserate then...

I recently picked up a copy of "Simple and Free", which is the re-published version of "7" and wow, major changes. Yes, people change over 10+ years, but wow. The woman who wrote 7 seemed to genuinely want to live for Jesus and live with less and introduce Jesus to others. The woman who is now on social media seems to want to promote some kind of excess, boogie lifestyle, but of course, all in the name of helping promote fair trade, etc. The only Jesus being promoted now is some weird kind of woke Jesus that doesn't line up with the Bible at all. And even that Jesus is rarely talked about or introduced to others, because I guess we wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Tyler still seems to be wanting to share the real Jesus with people. I hope he stays true to that.

It wasn't 500 roses, it was a bundle of roses, dipped in gold somehow, that cost him $500.

Him giving her all 500 roses is so beyond a flex!!! Ugh cringe! I would run from that so fast how many roses do you need and why? It’s overkill. Run!
