Episode 93: Tony Jones & The New Evangelicals | Abuse, Denial, and Accountability in Progressive Faith Spaces

In this episode, we dive into the controversy surrounding Tony Jones, the Emergent Church, and The New Evangelicals. From past allegations of abuse and manipulation to the recent GRACE investigation into Tim Whitaker and TNE, we examine how power, silence, and image protection can cause deep harm—even in progressive faith spaces. This is a story of accountability, survivors speaking out, and the urgent need for communities to confront abuse wherever it shows up.
