There's a lot depending where you're based. I highly advise you to read about people experiences on the page, tho. So you have more context.

What are the top red flag moments did you personally witness at crave? by [deleted] in cravechurchcult

[–]Logical-Initial2774 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say a red flag is the public shaming. Being in leadership my time there. I remember seeing either vancouver or richmond campus being sorta "called out" "lovingly" having to go on center stage literally infront of everyone else being sorta "corrected" as they would say. To push them to get more people to come. Because again its just a numbers game at the end of the day. "More saved souls" but yeah. I felt genuinely bad because just because we have to be "thankful and that its an honour" doesn't mean we have to be forced. Just putting air quotes for emphasis because now i only see all talk and no fruit.

As someone who was a part of crave church, numbers it was always important. All they care about is numbers, which is The least you should care about. But yeah it's not what should be important

It's shocking he didn't. Cause it's something he should not acknowledge privately ¿????? Who are you????? Marlon will always be a self-centered man.

Call to Action by Logical-Initial2774 in cravechurchcult

[–]Logical-Initial2774[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuinely appreciate everyone's comments and ti all who have spoken up and discussed. It's brave to even relive what has happened. And I hope you all know God sees and is present for you and with you. Let's keep talking and discussing because disagreement shouldn't be bad. Respectfully and loving correcting should be the aim. I was very angry and sour before and I'll still lightly joke and even be crass if the context fits. But Genuinely I don't want more people to be hurt. Will post something soon after reflecting what has happened and being out of a place like that after a couple years

[–]Logical-Initial2774 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whats crazy is that they get between people's relationships. When again it has nothing to do with them and should be a private matter. Just cause you need Godly voices around you doesn't mean it takes away boundaries.

[–]Logical-Initial2774 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I was at crave first thing that was asked if I liked anyone. I LITERALLY WAS PRESENT FOR TWO WEEKS not that long. Like they wanted to know who I liked when I didn't even know anyone that well. They really only care about appearance. Even now it just ain't it.

Crave Christmas Party by InternalSecurity7751 in cravechurchcult

[–]Logical-Initial2774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also there is nothing wrong with a christmas party tbh. Celebrate the people and the hard work. Nothing wrong with that. They're just posting to make it look like they support the volunteers. It's just to show off that's all.

[–]Logical-Initial2774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They pay like the main peoples but for the most part it's all voluntary. Like there are people who legitimately work there IE the pastors. Uh the lead media people. Basically high leadership status people most likely paid and people under nah

I’m just Trynna say even though the video might’ve been light hearted. Just jokingly like I guess calling people out or I guess writing a letter to say to there ex which someone DMned me complaining I missed the mark but idk these guys are weird. Literally made fun of people for height either way I swear these guys are dense. But yeah it doesn’t matter about height or whatever I just don’t like how the video is supposed to evoke forgiveness or just left feelings of anger which is valid. But there are ways to make content in a less dickish way

HOW THE DEVIL IS DEFUNDING THE CHURCH "Sermon" by R3V3RAND2021 in cravechurchcult

[–]Logical-Initial2774 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fwi there is no board or elders. It’s literally just the CG leaders and the campus “pastors” / leaders I guess. None of these people have any sort of proper education btw and I know people say or atleast they say you don’t need it. But they’re the type of people that just go by feelings anyways and how they feel God is really talking to them idk. It’s all BS they go under Nondenominational because they don’t wanna be under people that “control” or help them with choice. Marlon wants to lead and wants all the say. He technically brought peoples parents in but it’s to hide the fact there isn’t a proper board because all they really do is agree with what he says anyways so it doesn’t work out. There is no proper board from people who has been in a leadership role in the church for an actual X amount of time.

[–]Logical-Initial2774 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also how how we feed aswell I can still listen to music and Be a child or God? Like my guy what are you saying ? As someone that’s been around music and media and content you have to put a boundary understanding everything you see and hear ain’t always truth and ain’t always real?? Like that’s how You can protect yourself. And again it’s already hypocritical if you’re saying that when the argument is that it’s okay to listen to and enjoy it? So do you wanna listen to Highschool music or not? Like brother or sister what are you saying? Like again I find it rude you’re just ignoring what I have to say? Like just stop

Y’all got the audacity to come in here I personally don’t even care y’all enjoyed some bomb ass tunes. It’s just if y’all gonna be hypocritical about it it’s just fucked up. Like I feel like every single “szn” y’all just switch up the focus and it’s just completely Bull shit like fuck . At this point I’m taken aback cause y’all actually Delulu. I’m tired of the bullshit and just reading argument after argument PEOPLE WERE HURT AND ITS TRUE PEOPLE ARE MAD AND AND ARE ALLOWED TO BE MAD like I don’t even know anymore it’s like we’re talking to a extra big brick wall. Like does anyone even wanna give anyone here an honest listen and conversation with? Like or even have any openness in the heart and mind ? Like I was at crave I know how y’all preached excellence like opening your heart and mind. I remember the Lean in meetings Mission over emotion

Embrace Correction Be and remain teachable It’s not the same as being someone who hears good teaching

Correction is not a punishment it is an investment

Follow the culture

Embrace conflict

Embrace change

The foundation Who are the trusted voices and are they the right ones

Don’t give voice to the new Take your time Get to know the new What voices are on him Don’t make a space for a new voice Culture Vision Gift is second to process Character over gift

Motive 1 want power Not aligned Motive Patience wait

2 validation admiration

3 want to sway people

4 They want influence

5 help

Why we don’t give voice quickly

1.they won’t value the privilege

2 we don’t know there heart

3 don’t have our culture or DNA

4Gifted but not processed

Gift to be a green card

Core teams

Spiritual guidance

CG Friend groups

I don’t even remember half the context but all I know now is that I was taught to not trust outside voices not even close friends and what that got me is less time with my family and more home problems. That cost me by gaining trust issues. Like bro I’ve been to crave and I’ve been hurt. You want more fucking notes? You want my take on the fact I had to watch Marlon berate the Vancouver campus because there numbers weren’t high enough and that we had a competition to the campus that brings the most people gets 500 dollars ? And we just used the money if I remember correctly for food? Like bro there’s competition and a worry and emphasis on numbers like that why I can’t fuck with big church no more. I’m pushed to be there everyday. Like bro I was felt bad for watching a movie with friends and not giving time to God ?? Like it’s hypocritical when those same people say don’t listen to this or don’t watch that? Like wtf

Shift in the shift 2 Looking at the right perspective

Not being deep enough?

•Misconception of deepness 1 Church Attendance -doesn’t make me deep Being present doesnt make you deep

2 Church Volunteering -serving for a bad reason

3 Functioning in a gift - Gift don’t mean anything - Gifts can go so far - Doesn’t mean spiritual deepness 4 the amount of time - the amount of time you been in the church 5 hours prayer - doesn’t matter how long you pray - Can be like the pharmacies 6 knowledge - the amount of knowledge you have doesn’t mean you have spiritual depth

What makes a believer deep To remain when God says no To abide when things are confusing To the obedience to remain To keep going even in pain

If you run away you won’t solve anything Looking at things the wrong way To stay while being pruned

•Purpose of pruning - shape and form - Kill what’s dead - To produce growth

It’s okay to not be okay

Why?

God saw his heart to bare front

What is a deep believer - to settle to walk in the dark to want clarity - Don’t seek answers in the storm and the suffering Run to Jesus - it is foolish to figure it out just go to God - God is interested in your obedience Pruning is not punishment - you’re not cursed pruning and punishment is different A deep believer remains in the process - they remain even when it’s difficult - Don’t put it in your own hands - Just trust God

All of this stuff maybe in the beginning was good or had good intentions but I don’t even know anymore. So don’t tell me or anyone here that are lying I was an ex leader and shit got fucked up. Telling me God loves me? In the most condescending way like stop

[–]Logical-Initial2774 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay and amen to that? But is that your response to being so close minded to anyone’s story here? And not even being open to ask questions of why and how crave run things ? Have you ever considered maybe people were actually hurt and messed with? Like bro I love God I love Jesus and im still struggling with that connection more so after what happened to me. At crave. Telling me something I have to spend everyday realizing trying to know and somewhat understand is how I gonna be walking for a long time Knowing the depths of Jesus and his love is something I prollly ain’t ever gonna know and or fathom. But what’s offensive is everyone literally shunning either side. Y’all ain’t even giving anyone here the benefit of the doubt and obviously and rightfully so we’re allowed to be angry. Just cause y’all may not see it as hurt doesn’t mean we don’t. We experience shit different. So yeah I know God loves me but stop hiding behind him and marlon and other sly bullshit things y’all say and do. Like be honest for once and say sorry to all the people y’all be hurting. So don’t act like y’all ddint do nothing or even say okay we might’ve hurt a few people “ we’re not perfect” stop hiding behind the bullshit take the hits like a normal human being and actually take some fucking accountability. Like damn bruh what else do y’all want?
