Steve Lawson Update: Attending New Church, Working on Reconciliation, Receiving Counseling
While rumors have swirled of where Steven Lawson has been and what he’s been up to in light of silence from his former church, Trinity Bible Church, or any of his associated ministries, Protestia can report that he’s been quietly attending a small reformed church in Nashville for the last several months, following his scandalous departure and ministry implosion, where he has been receiving counseling, fellowship, and prayer.
We are NOT giving the name of the church in order to give Lawson privacy while he works through his life, along with not drawing needless attention to the church. We can confirm, however, that he’s been out of state for several months, at the request of his wife, who has justifiably been devastated by his actions.
Despite the outrageous, cataclysmic betrayal, the marriage has not been lost.
In Tennessee, he’s been receiving professional counseling while also meeting with several men for fellowship and prayer from almost the very beginning of when he was discovered to be having a long-term sexual affair with a woman nearly 45 years his junior.
At present, while Lawson has men caring for his soul and has made efforts to reconcile with his wife, we are not in a position to know the depths or degree of his repentance: as only the Lord knows.
Furthermore, Lawson has kept silent about his situation as a result of counsel he’s been given by certain parties, as he goes through the process of discipline and discipleship, but is considering giving a public, personal update in the near future.
Keep Lawson, his family, and the men ministering to him in your prayers.

Thank you for the non-judgmental, kind, straightforward report. Too many have written him off as an unbeliever. But if we’re honest, we all know the sinfulness of our own hearts and we know that that could be us but for the grace of God.
Steve Lawson has been attending a “small reformed church”. The church is the body of Christ. Not a building, not an organization. We do not attend church, we are the the church. There is no such thing as a “reformed church”. No such thing as Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc or any other denomination.
Stupid comments. Everyone knows that the body of Christ meets in local congregations that we call “churches.” There are, in fact, reformed churches where reformed theology is held in high regard and expounded upon. These are in contrast to typical evangelical churches that believe man has free will to choose Christ for salvation. The distinctions are necessary and they are legitimate. Again, your comments are stupid and ridiculous.
I just wish there was some sort of formal statement, from Lawson himself, to just put everything straight.
