Overview
Mission
We’re committed to reporting the truth and holding Christian groups and leaders accountable. Wendy Seidman has been equipping and coaching church leaders for over 25 years. She currently serves as executive pastor at a church near Chicago, Illinois. Prior to this, she served in training, content development, and coaching roles at Lead Like Jesus, Compassion International, and what is now known as the Global Leadership Network. She has personally experienced a toxic culture—what creates it and how it enables toxic leadership. And she has used that experience to help other leaders avoid making similar mistakes. Wendy lives in the Chicagoland area with her husband and three children. Christine N. Jones.

The verdict
