Embrace Life at the Journey (Embrace Grace)

Large, Christian non-denominational church. Three physical church building with the pastor going between each church and televising to the other two. Nontraditional.

The Journey Church offers an uplifting and inspiring experience. The worship services are engaging, and the messages are meaningful and applicable to daily life. The community is welcoming and supportive, making it easy to feel connected. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual growth and encouragement.

This church is a perfect example of what happens when man’s preferences override God’s commands. I’ve seen the woman pastor of this church pop up repeatedly, and I had to stop and ask—why? Why is this being tolerated, let alone celebrated, when Scripture clearly forbids it? 1 Timothy 2:12 says, ‘I do not permit a woman to teach or assume authority over a man.’ And the qualifications for elders in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 are just as clear—‘the husband of one wife.’ You claim to be a Bible-believing church, but when it comes to female pastors, you don’t even attempt to use Scripture to justify it—because you can’t. There is no biblical defense for this. Yet, when it comes to giving money? Suddenly the Bible is quoted without hesitation. Malachi, Corinthians, you name it—those verses get pulled out quickly, because this church is more of a business than a body. You’re not feeding the sheep—you’re fleecing them. This isn’t bold leadership. This is compromise. You are shaping the church around the culture instead of shaping the church around Christ. It’s counterfeit. It’s dangerous. And whether people want to hear it or not, this is not the church Jesus died for. You are playing with fire by leading people into deception while stamping 'Jesus' on it. I don’t say this out of hate—I say it out of deep concern for the souls being misled. Repent. Return to the authority of Scripture. Fear God, not popularity, not comfort, and definitely not money. Wake up, folks. I say it lovingly to everyone at the Journey... Wake up, please.
