Posted on June 10, 2015 by Jess Connell

  “Older women are to be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine.

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Jess Connell

In 2011, I took my first biblical counseling class, and one session focused on the “Anti-Psalm.” The goal was to better understand what a text is saying by carefully thinking through the exact opposite meaning. It can be insightful to see the “opposite” of a text, and gives an excellent way to clarify the actual meaning. I previously did this with Proverbs 31. Let’s…

Evil Shepherds/Spiritually-Abusive Pastors: The Opposite of Ezekiel 34

Posted on December 13, 2023December 11, 2023 by Jess Connell

God calls His people “sheep,” and calls our spiritual leaders “shepherds.” But spiritually-abusive pastors harm God’s people, and make us fearful of the very people (shepherds) and the very place (church) that we need in order to be healthy, growing sheep.
