I sometimes refer to my "E.F. Hutton" gang. That's a group of folks on Twitter who, when they tweet, I "shut up and take notice". Here, I'll tell you some of them.

Most are friends of mine, but really...they're just freaking sharp as all get-out

@UT_Grad_Amy is probably the best investigator. She knows how to follow the money, and the "5 Ws and an H" better than anyone. A cartel of abusers will not stand up to her scrutiny.

@jdahlmd is the resident pathologist of Twitter. But her body of knowledge is much more than that. Her Image Repair Analyses are the stuff of legend.

@KSPrior is a fine professor and an excellent thinker. She's an outside-the-box pro-life advocate who lies to remind folks what liberalism really is. She knows it, b/c--liks me--she's fought it on the front lines.

@SolaSisters and @JulesDiner whenever they break the goods on the "patriarchists", it's worth the price of admission.

@JimmyHinton12 knows how pedophiles and other abusers operate as well as anyone; he had to report one in his own family. If you want insights on the need for vigilance: he will give you what you need.

@LoriAnneThomps2 can give you the facts and figures of #churchtoo. She's also one of the kindest souls on Twitter.

@TheLayArtiste provides some of the most edifying material on Twitter: things to meditate on and pray.

@TruthAgape is one of the best pro-life voices on Twitter. She not only holds her own in debates, she brings the skill of a therapist to boot. And like @KSPrior, her answers aren't standard political boilerplate.

@reachjulieroys I'm not generally into podcasts, but Julie Roys is awwsumm. She took on James MacDonald and won. She'll report the good, bad, and ugly, all in the context of calling for repentance and humility.

@watchkeep and @wartwatch and @DefendTheSheep got me enlisted in #churchtoo before the hashtag was born.

@R_Denhollander if you don't know who she is, you've been sleeping. Her book "What Is A Girl Worth?" is an excellent, but gut-wrenching, read.

@JJ_Denhollander if you want to see what I call "good complementarianism" in action, Jacob provides a glimpse of that. He's also sharp as a tack, although not as smart as his wife.

@SusanCodone along with @KSPrior they are the two smartest women in the SBC. It's why they are a tick in the britches of the powers that be and want to be.

No one understands the political machinations of the SBC like Susan does.

@AlsoACarpenter if you want the scoop on racism, its history and the status of it today, this is the one to follow.

@scott_m_coley for more intellectual firepower, Scott will systematically dismantle the ministerial hacks who use the Cultural Marxism shibboleth to dismiss and shut down discussions that don't go their way.

@Thrivingseason Sandy Beach was one of the first to connect the dots with the Menlo case: suggesting that the volunteer with the child sexual attraction was in fact Ortberg's older son. She called it.

A therapist herself, she knows how to cut through the BS.

@RuthDHutchins Along with Daniel Lavery, Ruth showed the whole world the truth about Menlo Church, John Ortberg, and the complicity of the elders who covered for him until they could longer do so.

@noedenelsewhere Anna has done a wonderful job exposing the shady and abusive tactics of megachurches.

If she isn't keeping Matt Chandler awake at night, it's only b/c he hasn't yet figured out that he has a problem.

@ErinMHarding and @ToddHarding_17 are such rabble-rousers that they managed to get banned from G3 b/c Josh Buice was too scared of The Godfather getting photobombed by Erin in a "We Will Not Go Home" t-shirt.

They are a pain in the collective posterior of the NeoCal confab.
