Years ago, I was an apostolic rep at an event Rob Turner spoke at and was thoroughly impressed with his sincerity and transparency. Def not the norm. I will be praying for both he and his family.
Unfortunately, this type of response is not the norm in our movement. The usual response is move along, nothing to see here. The result 99% of the time is confusion and hurt in the body that usually results in fragmentation...I've seen it one too many times. While I don't endorse everything taught by Rick Warren. I did hear a statement he made regarding a situation like this st Saddleback years ago. "Sin must be confessed as far as it effects". It leaves no room for gossip or hearsay but instead brings light to the darkness. I wholeheartedly agree.
CC1-I've heard it said that Pastor Hardwick is a pastors pastor.
