HopeFloats – Renee Dallas Starts Another Online Wives Group
April 28, 2010 By
Renee Dallas sent the following out via email: Join me for our next WifeBoat Online Support Group May 18th-August 10th I've had many woman ask me how they could possibly cope after finding out the devastating news that their husband had been using pornography, having an affair or feeling homosexual attractions. These grieving wives have often felt there was no place to turn to talk safely and openly about what they were dealing with. Family, friends, and career concerns have been some of the reasons why. That's why I started the WifeBoat Online Support groups. In the confidential … [Read more...]
Gay Activist “Good As You: G-A-Y” Blog Asserts A Measure of Civility
February 16, 2010 By
It's very interesting that G-A-Y blog extended a brief measure of commendation a couple of months ago about a post I did concerning Matt Barber's crass quote, SoulForce (another gay activist group) agreed with us about Uganda last week and today G-A-Y has a few benevolent things to say about Alan. They state: Alan Chambers is clearly a smart and passionate man. He also comes across like a decent person who sees many flaws within the frequently overheated "pro-family" movement, and, to his credit (one that's reserved for few in the professional anti-LGBT world), Alan is somewhat willing … [Read more...]
The Importance of Covenant Eyes
January 29, 2010 By
A while ago I wrote my testimony about how Covenant Eyes has greatly benefited my online accountability and facilitates a safe place online. I have tried various accountability software services out there and this is by far the best. I have been using their service for almost three years. Maybe longer. We at Exodus have even partnered with Covenant Eyes. All of our staff at Exodus uses the service. Many of my friends outside of Exodus use it. I even use it on my personal computer at home. That said, I am running their banners (at the top of the blog mixed in with ours) because I honestly … [Read more...]
Gayle Haggard Releases Memoir titled “Why I Stayed” – Interview with Renee Dallas
January 26, 2010 By
Gayle Haggard has been through a proverbial trial by fire for the past few years. I have been impressed with the grace, wisdom and humble boldness she obviously abides in. You can tell the Lord is her comfort and shield. Today Gayle is releasing her memoir concerning her husband's (Megachurch and National Leader, Ted Haggard) sexual fall and resulting highly publicized aftermath titled Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour. She will appear on The Oprah Show later today to discuss the book. For a response, we turned to trusted leader (of WifeBoat blog and online support) … [Read more...]

Local Ministry + Local Church = Blessings All Around
August 26, 2009 By
From the ministry that personally helped me and I used to direct before coming to Exodus, Living Hope: The Power of True Friendship by Olivia My journey with Living Hope Ministry (LHM) began twelve years ago as I was praying for the ministry in my church's intercessory prayer room. During that time I felt God urging me to become actively involved. My initial response was, Abba, you have got to be kidding. He wasn't. I had no idea what I could offer LHM. Nor did I expect the profound impact it would have in my own life. I cherish the people I have met there--they have touched my life in … [Read more...]
Friday Feature – DennisJernigan.com

Those who have been around Exodus long enough know that Dennis Jernigan has been a phenomenal worship leader within the Body of Christ at large and a pioneer within the post-gay movement.

Dennis has taken his place in the Church and led many to find hope and healing through communion with the Lord in worship. Dennis has developed a fantastic website which includes a blog and a section called "GEThonest" where he … [Read more...]
