1 /5 Chris Eoff: I was raised in this church, 1994 - 2007. My mom ran the youth group back then. Pastor Haile and his family took advantage of her work, took advantage of my family, and even when we were in the deepest starving hole of poverty, continued to encourage my parents to tithe 10% weekly to “God” (the Hailes). God is not a man. God is not a building. God is within you. Don’t let these extremists take advantage of your beautiful heart, faith, or family. Family Life Church drained the life out of my family, created an unsafe space for my siblings and I to grow/learn about spirituality, and instilled bigotry and hatred into all that walked through their doors. You and your family deserve better. God is more than rules and restrictions. God is love. Love your family right, don’t bring them here.
