Welcome to the Sacred Shade Podcast! This past week has been a whirlwind of emotions for Gateway Church members and the Body of Christ. This episode is just the beginning of the discussion. In this episode, we share our current feelings as we’ve been processing anger, sadness, confusion, and hopefulness. We pray you make Jesus your foundation. Feel free to let us know what you agree and disagree with in the comments!
DISCLAIMER: 21:35 a mistake was made regarding the Elder page on the Gateway website. There was confusion regarding apostolic elders who had previously stepped away from their roles prior to this news and the current elders. We don’t want any misinformation, so thanks for hanging with us!

The three questions I have for folks in this are: 1) Can you envision the people of the Church being healed and move forward to become the body He asked? 2) Can you see the victim being healed and restored to a place of wholeness? Not because she got 'justice' but because the grace and presence of God transforms and heals. 3) Can you envision the offender being restored in the body, as a believer, that one day (through Christ) will live in heaven forever and ever with the rest of us?
If the answer is 'no,' I ask you to to pursue to the heart of God on the matter and let His heart be obtained within you. Search the scripture- it's the providence of God who is able to use the injustices of humanity to birth His glorious plan.
That's exactly what I've been saying the flock has been neglected at a time when they very much needed leadership to pastor them or at least SAY SOMETHING! I just got an email from the elders 7 days later – maybe they heard you! Good job I think it's helpful for the flock to hear someone from Gateway say something, the silence is deafening!
It’s infuriating the way this man has demonized the LBGTQ community as groomers and child abusers when he was one himself! Thank you for being critical and open about this disgusting situation either way that pastor! Evangelicals in this country need to direct their outrage to their own community since there’s a a terrible track record on this child abuse crap! But they choose to demonize others.
Thank you again for not staying quiet about this.
It’s ok to take it to the criminal courts and it was more than one man and Yes they did know it was covered up by several people close to Morris .As long as the church is naive it will continue to happen.
You need to delve into the word of God. Much of what Robert Morris taught was not scriptural. Please study under good men of God that exergit the Word and teach out of context. Praying you will grow in a true understanding of the Word of God. ❤
Not only is this sick and sinful but hopefully also shows you it's time to run from Gateway. Morris was/is a messed up "teacher". One look no further than his twisted heretical teaching on NT "tithing" so he got richer, or bringing Mormon Glen Beck to the stage, or false NAR teacher Bill Johnson. Gateway is NOT a solid Bible church. It just isn't
Are you going to remain at Gateway?
Should’ve done a background check on Robert Morris.
I hope the bravery of this woman teaches all in this branch of Christianity to properly read God's word. Don't just listen to what they peddle. Morris's tithing teaching is clearly false. His falling is a blessing from God. Hopefully it opens your eyes. The whole prosperity/pentecostal movement and any church that teaches false old testament tithing is lying to you for greed.
Just leave! Flee! He is and has been a pathological liar for years. He has openly condemned people as thieves self righteously for greed and fame.
📖💜🎵I’ve been a pastor’s wife 33 yrs, married almost 46 yrs. Our church runs less than 100 folks, my hubs teaches & preaches from the Bible & does not cherry-pick a verse here & there to preach about bc of how HE feels. Expository preaching brings God’s Word into much clearer view! Learning the who, what when where etc that each book was written. The pastor is then to read and explain the scripture, bringing to life the doctrines, principles, etc that God is showing us. Yes! Using other scriptures to show examples is great!
Unfortunately, men like RM add what they THINK or WANT the verse to say. And bc they have a certain flare or charisma about them, folks flock there. Then their eyes are blinded & ears deafened unless it’s his voice. Not nearly enough Christians study the Bible on their own!
When you have prosperity gospel, celebrity pastors, millions in tithe money, and “the Holy Spirit told me this” mentality from the top, you have a beautiful habitat for spiritually abusive narcissism. Wolves hunt in packs. As a former long time member with family members and friends that were on staff, my advice is RUN.
If the Elders are wise, they will not put a Morris family member as the spiritual leader at Gateway.
He did wrong but “ look at all the good the church does” minimizing the victim.
Lovely ladies. Thanks for sharing your 'inside' thoughts.
You who are without sin cast the first stone.
Robert Moore repented and confessed his sin and God has forgiven him but not people!!!!
Check your own life first before throwing stones at others!!!!
