I want to speak directly to those who are sitting in the wreckage of this right now, wondering if any of it was worth it. The temptation, and I understand it completely, is to conclude that because your good faith was exploited by leaders who ultimately cared more about power than righteousness, the cause itself was the con. That every sacrifice you made, every relationship you strained, every unpopular hill you chose to die on was just you being played. The vast majority of faithful, prayerful people who poured themselves into defending convictions they genuinely believed were worth defending were not brainless pawns. They were not naive idiots being puppeted by masterminds. They were people who loved God and took His word seriously, and that is not nothing. That has never been nothing.
