COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Creating a safe community doesn't happen by accident.
These guidelines exist to help protect the culture we're building together—a place of healing, honesty, biblical discernment, support, and grace.
Please take a few moments to read through them before participating...

❇️Community Guidelines
✨To help keep this community safe and helpful for everyone, please review the following guidelines:
1️⃣ Keep Jesus at the Center
Our goal is healing, wisdom, and growth—not bitterness. It's okay to be honest about your pain, ask hard questions, and process difficult experiences. At the same time, we want to encourage one another toward truth, healing, and Christ.
2️⃣ Authenticity Without Judgment
You do not need to pretend you're okay here.
Many members are at different stages of healing. Some may be angry. Some may be grieving. Some may be confused. Some may be finding freedom.
Let's meet one another with compassion, grace, and curiosity rather than judgment.
3️⃣ No Naming Churches, Ministries, or Leaders
Please do not post names of churches, ministries, organizations, pastors, elders, staff members, or other identifiable individuals.
Focus on sharing your experience, the patterns you observed, and the support you're seeking rather than identifying specific people.
4️⃣ Share Experiences, Not Diagnoses
We encourage members to discuss behaviors, patterns, concerns, and experiences.
Please avoid diagnosing individuals or assigning labels to people you do not personally know or cannot evaluate professionally.
5️⃣ Respect Confidentiality
What is shared here should stay here.
Please do not screenshot, share, repost, or distribute another member's story without their explicit permission.
6️⃣ Seek Understanding Before Assumptions
We won't always agree on every situation, interpretation, or next step.
Ask questions. Listen well. Extend grace. Assume good intentions whenever possible.
7️⃣ No Theological Debates
This community is centered on healing and discernment, not winning arguments.
Healthy discussion is welcome. Ongoing debates that create division, hostility, or distract from the purpose of the community are not.
8️⃣ This Community Is Not Professional Counseling
While many members have experienced significant pain, this community is not a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, legal advice, medical care, or crisis support.
Please seek appropriate professional help when needed.
9️⃣ Celebrate Healing
Healing isn't always dramatic.
Sometimes it's setting a boundary. Sometimes it's gaining clarity. Sometimes it's finding peace. Sometimes it's simply realizing you're not alone.
We want to celebrate those wins together.
🔟 Protect Your Pearls
The purpose of this community is not simply to revisit what happened.
It's to learn how to steward the precious things God has entrusted to us—our hearts, our faith, our trust, our discernment, and our healing.
Thank you for helping us create a safe place for healing, clarity, and biblical discernment.
