Christian men & abuse allegations

NEWS, CULTURE, AND CHRISTIANITY... FOR THE TIMES.

January 7, 2025

Dear Reader,

The Christian entertainment world may be facing a major reckoning. In a new video, I review the serious allegations and lawsuits involving gospel music legend and popular "ex-gay" pastor Donnie McClurkin, Hollywood mogul and professed Christian Tyler Perry, and former CCM star Michael Tait.

From allegations of abuse during "pray the gay away" counseling sessions to multi-million dollar harassment lawsuits, these cases are sparking massive conversations about power, faith, and "open secrets" in Christian spaces.

In this video, I briefly discuss: Tyler Perry's $77 million lawsuit, Donnie McClurkin’s shocking legal battle, and Michael Tait’s public "confession."

What do these cases have in common and how do they play into the church's stance on sexuality and masculinity?

Watch it below or at YouTube.

P.S.: I also recently took a look criticism regarding the Buddhist monks' "Walk for Peace," and questions Christians might ask regarding this spiritually-inspired march across the nation. Read it on my personal Substack here.

Everyone Wants Peace, But Not Everyone Agrees On Its Source

We owe you an explanation

Saturday, June 16, 2026 Dear Reader, Faithfully Magazine has been absent from your inbox the past few weekends, and you deserve an explanation. As the volunteer managing editor and newsletter producer, my attention has been largely consumed by caregiving responsibilities for an ill family member — a season made even more demanding by coordinating a move at the same time.
