so she starts recording while she is already crying and is apologizing that she can’t speak, can’t get the words out, so sorry, etc — hello you are the one recording you can start whenever you want and you very intentionally started while “crying”, it all seems so ridiculously staged 🙄

I was on the IG of a popular Christian writer and speaker, and I am cringing because she is sliding into Jen territory and I don't like it. Lots of what look like expensive trips, nicer and nicer makeup and clothes, etc. Christian publishing and podcasting can't make THAT much, can it? To afford business class flights?

But she hasn't reached the point of comparing her struggles to the crucifixion of Christ yet ( a la Jen's infamous Good Friday-I lost my publishing contract post)

Jen's story, while thankfully not over yet, is still a cautionary tale.

This is so accurate. I saw a comment on her Me Camp post yesterday where someone was offering her their Airbnb for next year.

Her pronoun switching drives me crazy. Is it we or I? Pick one and stick to it!

Probably for it's proximity to NYC. She'll likely post some cutesy pics of Hammonton and then spend the bulk of her time in NYC.

Jen doesn’t attend a church because she has to be the main character. There are many churches in Austin that welcome all. She can’t be a visitor or member. She needs all the attention.

Me Camp appears to be taking place in Hammonton, NJ, so whoever called the "it always takes place in a smaller, very WHITE town" nailed it. Also close enough that she and her beasties and she and Tyler can do weekender trips to NYC during the month-long duration.

I think Tyler mentioned something in his book about some kind of collaboration with Lifeway, but I don't think there's a current association there.

No way Tyler works for LifeWay or we would have already heard about it by now, from him. He brags and touts every minor association or partnership he has. I'm sure we would have heard of his primary employer by now, if he had one.

Does anyone know what the name of her previous church was that she said was commercialized and fruitless?

There’s no way Tyler works for Lifeway. How would he have time to do that and sell graphic tees and make cat litter commercials???

Tyler has a job? Color me shocked.

Doesn’t Tyler work for lifeway which is southern Baptist? How does that jive with their separation from Jen?
