Full Interview: JT Meyer pt. 2

About this episode

JT Meyer discusses the personal consequences of speaking out against the Vineyard movement and reflects on the support he received and the vision for a healthier church.

In Part 2, JT Meyer recounts the aftermath of his decision to speak out. Despite his loyalty to the movement and attempts to engage in good-faith dialogue, JT was met with silence, isolation, and ultimately, exile from the Vineyard. He reflects on what he learned, the pastors who quietly supported him, and what a healthier, more just church could like. This is a powerful look at the human cost of speaking the truth - and the hope that remains on the other side. Content Warning: Includes themes of spiritual abuse, theological conflict, and pastoral isolation.
