Recovering Grace provides a unique perspective in that it was founded and is operated by adults (and their spouses) who were raised as children in Bill Gothard’s Advanced Training Institute

Last updated on: May 26, 2015 at 3:10 am By Frank Schaeffer

Here is something good a group of evangelicals are doing. You should know about a group call “Recovering Grace” and pass on the information. I’m including material from their site. Some of the essays published on this site are deeply moving stories of survival, recovery and hope– after Bill Gothard ruined people’s lives… Recovering Grace is an online organization devoted to helping people whose lives have been impacted by the teachings of Bill Gothard, the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP),...

Ireland to Roman Catholic Church “Get Lost!” R.I.P Catholic neocons! (And good riddance)

Last updated on: May 24, 2015 at 3:10 am By Frank Schaeffer

Conservative Roman Catholics hate Pope Francis because he loves Jesus more than power. And now “Catholic” Ireland has led the way for freedom and human rights on marriage equality, not because of but in spite of Church teaching and political power. Ireland is “the” Church. Rather Ireland was the Roman Catholic Church. Now it’s a free country. The Church approved, aided and abetted abusers of thousands of children for decades in Ireland, the domestic abuse and virtual slavery of women, the... Read more

Here’s the quirkiest funny movie I’ve seen in years

Last updated on: May 24, 2015 at 2:42 am By Frank Schaeffer

Here’s the quirkiest funny movie I’ve seen in years. (If you missed it in the theaters, as I did its time to see it now. “What We Do in the Shadows” is the ultimate “mocumentary” reality TV-style feature film (yes they have a sense of humor in New Zealand!) about what bachelor vampires’ lives are really like. If you loved “This is Spinal Tap” and/or the original British version of “The Office” then this movie is for you. Here’s how... Read more

Why Does God Hate Gay People? My Interview on the New Movie

Last updated on: May 16, 2015 at 6:44 pm By Frank Schaeffer

At the End of the Day is a feature-length comedy written and directed by Kevin O’Brien. Here’s my interview with Kevin: Frank Tell me about yourself? I’m a filmmaker in central Florida. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 14 years and we have three kids in the third grade (yup). I got into filmmaking a bit late, and made a full time job out of it at 31 years old. I feel strongly about not making “safe” films,... Read more

Why I Am All For Drones (Hint: I can spy on my neighbor’s wife through her bathroom skylight!)

Last updated on: May 14, 2015 at 9:58 am By Frank Schaeffer

I’ve always wanted to spy on my neighbors. Now I can. When drones piloted from “over the horizon” become as ubiquitous as iPads and smartphones and as idiot-proof as using email, then not only Google will be able to look into my neighbor’s back yard. I’ll be able to video them through their bathroom skylight instead of just fantasizing about my neighbor’s wife. Amazon wants to use drones to deliver stuff to us. So the skies will be full....
