Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Jeff Adams Show. Today, we're diving into
one of the most complicated and controversial stories making waves
in the faith community, the day Star drama involving Joni Lamb,
Doug Weiss, and the fallout with Jonathan and Susie Lamb.
But this isn't just a story about day Star. It's
(00:20):
about how we as Christians deal with gossip, accountability, and
the truth when leaders fail. So let's dive in. In
a recent live stream, Laurlan Tyler Thompson made some bold claims,
bringing Pastor Rodney Howard Brown into the conversation. She criticized
him for his silence, calling him out for not publicly
(00:42):
addressing this day Star situation. Here's the problem. Pastor Rodney
clearly made the decision not to engage with this drama,
and for good reason. Why drag someone into a conversation
they've intentionally distanced themselves from. Criticizing a man for staying
silent on an issue he's chosen not to comment on
(01:04):
when it has no direct bearing on him is not accountability.
It's slander and it's a cheap shot. In my opinion.
If Laura wants to debate theological differences with Pastor Rodney fine,
but using his silence as ammunition against him is reckless.
This isn't about accountability, It's about creating controversy for the
sake of clicks and views. That kind of behavior damages
(01:26):
the body of Christ far more than it helps. This
brings me to a broader issue, the culture of slander
and gossip in Christian media. Christian media on platforms like
YouTube has increasingly mirrored the tactics of gossip outlets like TMZ.
It's all about finger pointing, tearing people down, and sensationalizing
(01:49):
issues without a shred of grace or restoration. This culture
thrives on division, not truth. Now I'm not saying there
is no place for exposed wrongdoing. The Bible calls us
to bring darkness into the light. But here's the thing,
how we do it matters. If your reporting is based
(02:11):
on half truths, theological nitpicking, or tearing people down for entertainment,
you've already missed the point. That's not biblical accountability. That's gossip,
plain and simple. As Christians, we need to discern the
difference between exposing wrongdoing for the sake of restoration and
spreading slander for the sake of clicks. Now, let's talk
(02:34):
about day Star and the controversy surrounding Johnny's remarriage to
Doug Weiss. This story raises serious theological and ethical questions,
particularly about biblical grounds for divorce and remarriage. The Bible
is clear on these issues. Divorce is permissible in cases
of sexual immorality, but it is not to be taken lightly.
(02:55):
Pastor Ray Curry made a great point in a recent discussion,
you cannot abandon your man, marriage and faith if your
heart is hardened. That's where the issue lies. What's troubling
here is the perception that spiritual authority is being used
to justify personal decisions. Joni Lamb's position as a leader
in Christian media should hold her to a higher standard,
(03:16):
yet her actions have sparked division and confusion. Even more
troubling is the displacement of her son, Jonathan and his
wife Susie, who have stood firmly against this marriage for
biblical and ethical reasons. Their story highlights a much bigger issue,
the misuse of spiritual authority. Jonathan and Susie Lamb are
(03:37):
a shining example of integrity in leadership, despite facing opposition
from within their own family. They've chosen to stand for righteousness.
They could have stayed silent, gone along with the flow,
and enjoyed their position in the day Star legacy. Instead,
they spoke out, and it's cost them everything. This isn't
(04:00):
just a family dispute. It's a battle for truth in
a culture that often rewards silence. Jonathan and Susie's actions
remind us that integrity often comes at a price. It's
not convenient, and it's certainly not comfortable, but it's necessary.
Their courage challenges all of us to ask are we
(04:22):
willing to stand for truth even when it costs us relationships, status,
or comfort. Another aspect of this story is Doug Weiss.
Clips of his teachings on sexual purity have surfaced, and frankly,
let me start by saying this, If you're going to
criticize someone like Doug Weis for discussing struggles that so
(04:43):
many men face, struggles like sexual addiction, pornography, and masturbation,
you're either missing the point or avoiding the truth. Men's
struggles in these areas are real, and they need safe
spaces to address them without shame. Forw mister Curry and
Laura Lynn to point fingers and criticize Weiss for his approach.
(05:04):
It makes me wonder have they ever faced struggles like
this themselves? Do they understand the deep shame and isolation
that can come with sexual addiction. One thing I've learned
is that healing starts when someone dares to speak up
about their struggles. Weiss's willingness to have these conversations is
(05:26):
not only necessary, it's brave. I don't know Doug Weiss personally,
but I remember him from the new Man Conference hosted
by Charisma magazine back in nineteen ninety nine. He shared
a simple yet powerful message, I haven't masturbated in twenty years.
If you want to know how, meet me in the
main sanctuary. It was a bold statement, but it struck
(05:49):
a chord. Do you know what happened? Men flocked to
that session? Why? Because he was addressing something that so
many of them were silently struggling with. That session ended
up being the biggest of the entire conference. It's proof
that when someone is willing to break the silence and
address taboo topics, it resonates deeply. Now I'm not saying
(06:13):
Doug Weiss is perfect. Nobody is, but let's not miss
the forest for the trees here. To criticize him for
his approach is to ignore the fact that he's helping
countless men overcome their struggles. This isn't about perfection. It's
about progress. It's about creating spaces where men can admit
their weaknesses and find support to overcome them. What frustrates
(06:36):
me is how quick people are to criticize someone who's
actually doing the work. Instead of pointing fingers, why not
focus on the bigger picture. Weiss is addressing issues that
many pastors and leaders are too afraid to touch, and
he's helping people in the process. Let me share something personal.
I've been through this process myself. I face struggles and
(06:58):
I've experienced the shame that comes with them. But you
know what helped me Men who were willing to have
honest conversations about their own struggles. Men who didn't shy
away from difficult topics but leaned in with vulnerability and grace.
That's what Doug Weiss is doing. If we're going to
build stronger men in healthier churches, we need more of this,
not less. We need leaders who are willing to address
(07:22):
the messy, uncomfortable issues that so many of us face.
So here's my challenge to Pastor Curry, Laura Lynn, and
anyone else quick to criticize, step back and look at
the bigger picture. Instead of tearing down someone who's doing
the work, why not ask yourself how can I contribute
to the solution. We don't need more finger pointing. We
(07:43):
need more grace, more honesty, and more support for those
who are struggling. Do I agree with Doug leaving his wife? No?
I don't, But I have made lots of errors in
my life as well, So who am I to point
a finger? Thank the Lord for his grace and mercy
John one sixteen to seventeen. From his fullness, we have
(08:05):
all received grace upon grace, for the law was given
through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Men's
struggles with sexual purity are real. They're not going away,
and ignoring them won't make them disappear. If someone like
Doug Weiss is willing to step into that space and
help men find healing, we should applaud that, not tear
(08:27):
it down. As someone who's walked this road, I can
tell you these conversations matter. They save lives, marriages, and souls.
So let's stop the slander and start focusing on what
really matters, helping people find freedom. So where does all
of this leave us? The day Star controversy isn't just
(08:48):
about Joni Lamb, Doug Weiss, or Jonathan and Susie. It's
a call to the church to evaluate how we handle truth, accountability,
and restoration. Are we supporting ministries that prioritize image over integrity?
Are we holding leaders accountable in a way that reflects
(09:08):
the grace and truth of Christ? And most importantly, are
we standing for truth in our own lives? The Bible
says in Ephesians six thirteen to fourteen, wherefore take unto
you the whole armor of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, And having done
all to stand, stand therefore, having your loins girt about
(09:31):
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. Jonathan
and Susie Lamb have chosen to stand, even when it
cost them everything. The question is will we If this
episode resonated with you, I want to hear from you.
Share your thoughts in the comments. What's your take on
(09:52):
the day Star controversy and the broader culture of accountability
in the church. Let's have an honest conversation about where
we go from here. Attatatatas
