From Some Pastors Who’ve Written:
“My wife and I have been involved in homeschooling for over twenty years now and have seen this kind of legalistic emphasis as well. Thanks for putting these resources together.”

“Thanks for providing this. I have run into questions about this movement periodically during my teaching at…. This will be of help to me as I seek to keep up on what’s going on.”

“Thanks for the great website, Pete. I have had to preach and write articles against some of the same extremes in the Patriarchy movement…. While I don’t agree with every point made on your web site, …I think it is a helpful corrective against the new legalism. Thanks. And blessings.”

“Thanks for the web link. I have had some contact with the Patriarchy movement, and have come to the same conclusions you have.”

“Thank you so much for making this info available. We are getting a good dose of this in our church and while it is not a big storm, we have been concerned for where it might head. I will read a good bit of what is on the site and I am sure I will be helped greatly.”

“Your brief reviews here on patriarchy.org have quickly helped me see things more clearly. I have bookmarked the site! Thanks!”

“Thanks so much for the resource. It is refreshing to see such a cross-denominational reaching out to warn and equip fellow brothers in Christ.”

"Dear Mr. Hurst,
"In the last two years I have gone from attending a rather typical Southern Baptist Church to now attending a home church. I attended along with several men from our church, the...conference and was convinced that much of what was being said was thoroughly biblical and needed in our church. After some time, there was a split from the Baptist church and a new home church was formed.
"However, despite my previous convictions, my theological studies have led me to severe concerns regarding the movement. I have seen a danger of overemphasizing the family in much of their teaching, as well as a neglect for the role of the church in the discipleship of families...
"Given this, I was quite excited when I found your site and have enjoyed thoroughly the articles posted there... I would like to express my profound appreciation for what you have done in this area..."

"I want to thank you very much for your recent series of sermons on Patriarchy. I found them to be quite beneficial not only because of their content but also the manner in which they were delivered. It was obvious that you had researched the matter thoroughly, and while it is impossible to address every tenet of the Patriarchy movement, you hit the essentials...
"Our prayer is that God will continue to use men like you…to bring clarity and correction when teachings such as Patriarchy bring an imbalance to the Body of Christ.
"Again, thank you for speaking out on this issue."

"Thank you for your BALANCED and SCRIPTURAL site, patriarchy.org. I have been absolutely dismayed at the hypersubmission 'doctrines' that have been foisted on the reformed movement these last few years…
"Thanks for getting the truth out there in full view. Godspeed!"

"Excellent stuff….
"Thank you for speaking up about these things. Definitely a necessary corrective in the Reformed community."

"It is wonderful to finally see a concerted effort to combat the questionable exegesis that seems to characterize those committed to the unbiblical notion of modern day patriarchy...
"May God bless those who plan and promote the articles on this web site."

"I am really looking forward to reading what you put up at your website… I spend lots of time online and I see Christians carrying on in a most un-Christian manner. I hope your website can bring back a bit of sanity and common sense for some Christians."
