PROFESSIONAL VICTIM / ADVOCATE / ATTORNEY/ ACTIVIST/ CONSULTANT / ALBERT MOHLER /RUSSELL MOORE ALLY RACHAEL DENHOLLANDER HAS SUDDENLY SURFACED IN THE UPCOMING OCTOBER 7TH 2024 EVENT OF FORMER OBAMA FAITH BASED PARTNERSHIP RECRUITER AND CURRENT “AMBASSADOR TO AMERICA’S BELIEVERS FOR THE OBAMA FOUNDATION” MICHAEL WEAR.

Rachael Denhollander first became a national figure when she exposed her gymnastics coach for abusing her and other girls during medical thearpy sessions. She then becae a go-to voice as a victims advocate and later as an attorney. In the early insider launch of the #MeToo movement in the Southern Baptist Convention , Denhollader and her husband had joined Albert Mohler’s SBTS to purge the Seminary of past abuses before long time SBTS graduate, employee , ERLC President Russell Moore hand picked Denhollander to address the reported years of abuses and coverups among Southern Baptist ni 2018. By 2019 the so called # ChurchToo Movement was in play and by 2021 was in full orbit. Russell Moore hit the “ignition, blast off ” button with his leaked emails/ letters/ communications accusing the SBC Executive Committee of hindering his investigations and of long term coverup and ignoring sexual abuses in the Southern Baptist Convention churhces and leadership.
Soon Denhollander would play the role of publicity agent, victims advocate, counsultant to a host of entities, to the “investigative ” organization Guidepost Solutions, and to a host of “task forces” and SBC “Responses. Perhaps with the disasterous results of the SBC /Guidepost Solutions investigation ,report and failed efforts to put together a website listing those deemed “credibly accused” of abuse ..Denhollader might be looking for a new gig.
(Note in many cases the accused were being named while having been able to face thier accusors or answer the charges in court. The planned SBC website, which Denhollander was part of assembling was a non starterstraight out of the gate. Lawsuits began to fly which was no shock to most Baptist and…one would think a professional attorney /victims advocate who wears too amny hats to number would know to expect such and outcome.)
THE EVENT: DENHOLLADER AND HER NEW CIRCLE OF ADVOCATES – PUSHING FOR “THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC”

Dear friends,
As we head closer to the election, I hope that this newsletter, The Spirit of Our Politics, and the work of the Center for Christianity and Public Life have been of help to you and your community. It is always meaningful—in fact, it’s the whole point of the work!—when I hear from you about how a particular decision or relationship in your life has been informed by the work we do.

Next month, in Washington D.C., there will be an opportunity for many of us to gather in-person at CCPL’s annual summit, For the Good of the Public. This two-day summit provides an opportunity to hear from dozens of powerful speakers in and among a community of civic leaders and citizens dedicated to the public good. Not only do our attendees leave empowered and encouraged, we believe the summit stands as a positive example for a watching world and counterweight to a model of Christian political engagement that is narrow, angry and self-serving.
I would love for you to join us on October 7-8 in Washington D.C. to add your voice and presence to our gathering. If you use the code Summit24, you’ll receive a significant discount on the tickets you purchase. If you’re able to come, or if you’re considering attending, let me know!

I am excited about how the summit is shaping up, and I believe you will be blessed by it. And we would be blessed to have you with us!
I hope to see you next month.
Michael

EXCERPT – THE LAUNCH OF THE SBCs #MeToo movement from the inside-
“Jacob Denhollander tweeted out the SBC “Wrath of God ..”story on May 23rd as well:
@JJ_Denhollander “I am extremely grateful to see these words from the president of my school, albertmohler. There is much more work to do and many more hard conversations to be had @R_Denhollander and I hope to be helpful in anyway we can.”
“FROM THE MOHLER “WRATH OF GOD ” ON THE SBC ARTICLE”
“America’s largest evangelical denomination has been in the headlines day after day. The SBC is in the midst of its own horrifying #MeToo moment.”

REDEMPTION OR ABUSE? CONSIDERING ATONEMENT IN LIGHTOF FEMINIST CRITIQUES
“The history of Feminist Theology is Anti- Gospel and Anti- Family and Anti- conventional Conservative Theology . It is certainly against the Baptist Faith and Message. Feminists theologians INSIST that theology has been developed not just by males, but by males within a patriarchal culture in a patriarchal church which is rife with systemic abuse of women by men who subordinate and exploit them.”
COLLUSION?

Jacob Denhollander @JJ_Denhollander
“After 11 years, two degrees, and a lot of life, my time @SBTS is over. Forever grateful to these professors for the way I have grown as a scholar and as a man. It’s a bittersweet day as I move on to finish my PhD elsewhere, but part of me will always be at Southern.”
CONCLUSION
Rachael and Jacob Denhollader were invited to SBTS by Mohler to purge his seminary of its known and rumored sexual abuses. The Denhollander’s made SBTS their home and STAYED for 11 years. Rachael and SBTS former Provost and Professor turned ERLC President and progressive agitator Russell Moore were allies in the soft launch of the sex abuse scandal in the SBC in 2019.

“Russell Moore, President of the ERLC, has a conversation with Rachael Denhollander, advocate, author, and speaker, on the Church’s abuse crisis at the 2019 Caring Well Conference.”
By the time Russell Moore’s “leaked letters” accusing the SBC Executive Committee of covering up sex abuse in 2021 -the “SBC #ChurchToo movement was in full swing and
Rachael Denhollader not only had a front row seat BUT the opportunity to play many roles wearing TOO MANY HATS to COUNT in the now FAILED investigations and answers to the Southern Baptist “abuse crisis”.
NOW the Denhollader train looks to be hooking up with the Democratic Party and THE biggest evangelical face in the Obama camp- Michael Wear. WHY?
