The Evolving Faith conference is just an opportunity for a bunch of grifter types to highlight and promote their "brands". It has nothing to do with "faith" apart from working to dismantle a true living and breathing Christian faith. It's a good thing that it appears to be withering away.

Here is one of the bios for the evolving faith conference listed under "spiritual friends"

Who the hell is Jen haymaker?

I'm sure she'd like to throw a haymaker at Brandon...

I'm here all week, folks

A panel of Womanist “thought leaders”?

Don't forget Nadia and her sleeveless collared pastor garb. Gotta show off those guns for the flock. Man, can she just 'fess up to being a Unitarian and call it a day?

These people preach themselves, not God.

Another questionable "Christian author" who is easing away from actually producing Christ-centered content is Lysa TerKeurst. If Lifeway was quick to part ways with Jen, why the heck are they still keeping Lysa on the payroll? She also seems to be gallivanting around Italy with her boyfriend.

Sarah Bessey needs a new act even worse than Jen. A panel of Womanist “thought leaders”? These people need real jobs. This sort of idiocy can only exist in coddled privilege.

A riverboat cruise with their men? Is Tyler going with her, too?

I think girlfriend got either extensions or a topper- looks good, actually. Menopause stole all my hair and I am shopping for toppers because hey, why not?

Some of the speakers at Sarah's EF tour call themselves "womanist?" When did that become a thing?

I don't understand how she takes a "me" month off and then now goes on a riverboat cruise with her rolled-up cardigans packed up neatly. Do her "loyal followers" also have that much money, time, and opportunity? And so they relate? Because I am way down the economic ladder from Jen--there is NEVER any acknowledgement on her part that she is privileged. She sells all these things like she's doing me some sort of favor...

I count Rachel Hollis, Glennon Doyle, and Jen in this group.

Fame, spirituality, hubris-- these things, when blended, interest me. So there you have it.

Well said.

I find these themes and this thread fascinating.

1. Have no idea how many people follow or comment on this thread. There may be a way to search for the info but I don’t know what that would be if it exists.

2. Who is she? All I can say is if you know, you know. If you don’t, you probably won’t ever get it. Not snarking on you. Just the people who have known of or followed her from way back never crease to be amazed at what she’s become and does and her ever changing persona and ever increasing desperation to be relevant and important. If you don’t know her from way back when, the thread will probably never interest you.

Do these people have anything relevant to say to anyone? Sarah's writing never really grabbed me. I may be missing something, but does she ever make an actual point?

Nope. She rambles and it’s exhausting to read. The weight loss is really all she has going for her

Jen, or Jen’s minions, “on the regular”, as Jen likes to say, love to come in here and try to shame or dissuade people from commenting any further.

It never works.

Who cares why people visit this group, that is THEIR decision. Lol. I was a follower of Jen on IG until she blocked me after a comment that disagreed with her view. I remember thinking how immature and probably google her name & “dissapointed” or similar and landed here.
To think you will keep and grow your following when you do a complete 180° in life is not realistic. And I think she is now seeing that.

And for the LOW LOW price of $69, she’ll teach YOU how to have the BEST FRIENDS EVER too!

She’s so gross.
