“As long as I was going to take part in any way, he [Goodman’s father] could not have his service there. They’re punishing my dad for a lifestyle choice I’ve made. It’s not me up there in a casket. It’s him. Of course the church doesn’t agree with my lifestyle.

“We’re about 72 hours from a coup. Be prepared that you’re going to turn on the television and see helicopters hovering over the roof of the White House with men clad in black repelling down ropes, entering into the White House. Be prepared for a shootout in the White House as Secret Service agents shoot commandos coming in to arrest President Trump. That is how close we are to a revolution. Be prepared for a mob — a leftist mob — to tear down the gates, the fence at the White House. And to go into the White House and to drag him out with his family and decapitate them on the lawn of the White House.â€

“I have lived in repentance for the past several years, repenting of my self-righteousness, my fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to name a few. But I specifically want to add to this list now: to the LGBTQ+ community, I want to say that I am sorry for the views that I taught in my books and as a pastor regarding sexuality. I regret standing against marriage equality, for not affirming you and your place in the church, and for any ways that my writing and speaking contributed to a culture of exclusion and bigotry. I hope you can forgive me.â€
