By Toni S. Brown There is much confusion in the aftermath of the Shepherd’s Conference 2019 Q & A Session, especially regarding the embarrassingly blatant, evasive and downright rude behavior of Dr. R.

There are two types of people who don’t need to read or follow polemics ministries. If you’re not one of those people, you should be reading Pulpit & Pen.

By Toni Brown Michael Horton headlines the Valued Conference 2019 on sexual abuse. Given the recent and no doubt opportunistically timed controversies regarding so-called rampant sexual abuse in protestant churches, some may consider this more than appropriate – I say not so fast.
