"One of the problems we face, in the Information Age, is that a speaker’s ability to handle the truth and get it across can be easily and widely appraised, whilst it is much, much harder to measure someone’s trustworthiness. This means that we often end up unwittingly promoting and rewarding toxicity in evangelical churches, with conference slots, senior roles, trustee status, financial control and other undue influence. If the person has enough confidence and charisma, it can become a vicious circle...
...The irony is that it is unbelievably easy to spot our toxic leaders. They are often the ones who refuse to use their privilege and high-performance gifting to expose and address the roots of our recent abuse crises. Instead, their lack of trustworthiness means that, rather than owning up to personal and corporate failings, they show “faux-nerability” and use those same gifts to create an alternative, condescending narrative."
