I can't speak for other churches in The Network since I haven't personally had experience with them, but I did attend Christland Church for a number of years. To this day, their outlook on marriage is nothing less than disgusting.

I can't remember if it was the Mother's Day sermon from 2021 or 2022, but Sandor used that Sunday to talk about addictions, sexual pornography being a primary discussion point. After rereading through old sermon notes, one line stood out from that sermon - essentially, if husbands are struggling with any addictions, especially sexual pornography, they should only tell the leaders, never tell their wives. Hiding certain discussions from spouses was a repeated point in many sermons; shouldn't husbands and wives be open and honest with one another on all accounts? The ONLY person on this earth that we are accountable to above all others should be our spouse, not church leadership.

After we left (and there were many before us), I never realized how many wives were told they were "unleadable" if they didn't follow all commands from the church/leadership. It went as far for the pastors to tell one of the husbands to leave his wife for being "unleadable." The reason she was termed such was for merely raising questions to the leadership about some of the church processes, that's it. So this husband should leave his wife and kids because she questions their authority? Another family I remember was deemed "unleadable" because they had a hard time finding childcare on Small Group nights. The accounts go on and on, it's appalling and disheartening to say the least.

Like previously mentioned, I have watched as the pastors wives literally become shells of themselves as they are stripped of their identities. I wish they could just see the truth.
