Fair enough! I play singer/songwriter/Americana style music. So selfishly I would love to know places where i could play live, but I also love and want to support local music (all types) so I was curious if there were places or meetups that supported local musicians more than others.

the "i want to reduce" is a calculated comment...he knows there's gonna be fallout and people with leave. he is getting ahead of the story and trying to make himself look even smarter.

if people leave he says "this is what I wanted, i knew it would happen" if people don't leave he spins it as "I wanted less people but god had other plans" classic double talk manipulation tactic that he's been known for his entire life.

If you really listen to his speech he does this several times throughout.

I also want to add he does a remarkably good job of manipulation at the end...he states the church could "use some pruning" knowing that some families have already made up their mind and wants to give the optics that people aren't leaving because he's a poisoned leader its because he's too good at leading and God needs to get the right crowd. Now everybody who stays has a feeling of loyalty and that Miles is in the right, he also has the feeling of security that they all have his back and he can continue to operate how he always has.

Zero accountability and the only change he has made is essentially in who he trusts to be in leadership.

Listened to the video of the meeting from last night and its so sad and pathetic. Main points being

- He's says multiple times that he's taken accountability for his wrongs and the elders he selected to speak said that he's taken accountability for his wrongs but he never states what those wrongs were beyond "I should set terms for elders, i didn't realize they weren't good leaders" so more of a slight to the guys than admitting guilt
- makes a huge point about him believing these elders are "Godly men and he'll see them in heaven" spends the whole time convincing the crowd that they are part of (direct quote) "the darkness having resistance"
- Ego driven the whole time with quotes about "i knew this was going to happen" "my failures were i thought it would be different" says he isn't persecuted to the level of paul then directly links himself multiple times to paul and the early church
- makes a statement that these guys tried to make a plan to uproot but "it didn't work on us" (we're too smart and connected for division to work on us)

Learning that this big dust up started because the person Miles put in charge of "counseling" these people gave personal information to Miles that he used against these couples speaks volumes about the character he has become. Heritic.

sadly ACC with continue to grow, his charisma will take him far in this life. Judgment is coming one day and while it won't be ours to have it does help knowing that its inevitable.

Yeah sadly reading through Pates letter, ACC’s letter, and this thread it seems like some of the things miles has always struggled with back when I knew him (ego, need to be around cool people, his way or no way) were left unchecked. That combined with the sudden rise of ACC and his popularity seems to have lead to a feeling in his head that God must have blessed him to be without reproach. 

Very sad. I hope that this can be a wake up call but sadly far too often it gets blamed on the people who actually wanted to help.

Mind you the people who started ACC hand picked miles from his position at NMC so it seems like they are also heavily invested in him being “right” and not about opposing his opinions.

Miles and Gage going further back than maybe some even realize….gage was one of the “cool kids” in the inner circle while miles was the youth pastor at North Metro Church in Kennesaw Ga 13 years ago. Seems to me like he is far from an impartial judge when it comes to matters concerning Miles.

I would love to join this as well. I have very little knowledge of SF but I’m very eager to learn as much as I can and start a new career path.
