    6:35 Amy talks about being in therapy, and saying "I despise her, I despise her!" (talking about her younger self). Never in a million years would I have dreamt that Amy Grant of all people 1) needed therapy and 2) "despised herself" at some point in time! Wow. If she could get past this, then *maybe* (BIG maybe), so can I. Thank you Amy for sharing THIS truth. Changed my mind just now, all for the better. Love and Grande Abrazos to you, my "sister in arms," truly from the heart.

      She took a horrible, horrible thrashing in the 90s for everything and then she found herself with three kids, coming off a grueling tour, dealing with her first husband's addiction and abuse and dealing with the constant thrashing by xians.. no WONDER she was in therapy. The cracks were showing in the mid 80s during her Unguarded Tour, when she just pushed it down and just kept going.

    16:00 when Amy starts talking about Jimmy Gentry and the "5 phrases" being the most important things he said to her, which he "wanted her to remember and say every day as many times as possible..." oh, my, tears to my eyes. If I had grown up hearing those simple things, and I had been able to give them to my own son, how different life might have been!
    5 simple phrases, to say as often as you can - as he held up 5 fingers:
    "How can I help you"
    "I'm proud of you"
    "I love you"
    "thank you"
    "we"
    I know it's "never too late" and I will start saying them now. Write them down and pin them to the wall and repeat after me, over and over again. Oh, my, tears of joy to my eyes.
    Starting with the first 5 fingers: "How can I help?" ending with the last and most important finger: "we." Now to re-listen and write down the rest. Wow. Life Changing.

      Why does that matter.. except to fundamentalists who fail to see that we're NOT a theocracy? I'd worry less about two people who love each other and are committed to each other and more about the disgusting Purity culture and covenant crap wherein women are preyed upon and forced to marry young and cannot get out of "covenant" marriage. If xians were so concerned about the "sanctity" of marriage, they would concern themselves with making it harder to get married rather than making it harder to get out of one that's horrible, abusive and destructive.

      I could just as easily come up with some other humanitarian crisis and dismiss your said concerns about forced marriage or any other other concern of yours with my own seemingly higher concern. Point being one does not take away from the other. It is very concerning that Amy Grant seams to to be taking the wrong stance on something that in the eyes of GOD is an abomination. She could be putting herself in opposition to God.

What have YOU done in your life that’s half as valuable as what she has done? I’d worry LESS about what Amy Grant or anyone else does or does not do in “opposition to god” and worry about the filth and squalor and actual EVIL in the pews of your church. If your god is more concerned about who Amy supports and shows the apparent love of christ to rather than the abuse, corruption and the lives ruined by your pedo priests, pastors, youth ministers, Sunday school teachers and camp counselors, your god has some serious screwed up morals.. in short, your god’s a dick.

Why do you guys always punish the woman but not the man? And why is someone else's marriage YOUR business? Besides that was more than 30 years ago.. how is that your axe to grind?
