Former Highpoint Church Teaching Pastor Andy Savage, who now leads Grace Valley Church in Collierville, Tennessee, is facing criticism for minimizing his past sexual abuse of Jules Woodson as a “valley” on his church’s website as his victim speaks out about the abuse again in a new film titled "For Our Daughters."

Although I strongly condemn the sexual abuse done by Pastor Andy Savage and I am extremely concerned that he was hired to be a pastor in another church; I also strongly disagree with the conclusion about Christian nationalism as given by Kristin Kobes Du Mez.
