Noted on Jeromy Darling's LinkediIn profile TODAY (
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeromydarling):
"What I really want you to know is this: I'm 33, happily married (since '02) with 2 beautiful little boys- Wyatt (Oct. '09) and Wilder (July '12). I'm as dependable as they come and expect the same from whoever I work with.
After 15 years as a web designer, I have hung up my hat and made the jump to a full-time musician. In June of '14 I signed with Loud Folk Records and in July I launched my charity - The Salvage Project. I have the privilege of traveling all over America playing concerts in prisons, sober houses, shelters and hospitals and I'm also working on ramping up Sound is a Verb, Inc. - my boutique audio shop and looking forward to some new volunteer opportunities here in the Twin Cities."
Here are a few take-aways from this Evergreen reality and one or two questions at the bottom section with an after thought.
1. When I was in New Life group at the University of Minnesota, Mark Darling said in the Monday or Tuesday night studies there was real no purpose for a college degree. Drop out and serve the Lord. BUT for his kids, including Jeromy, Mark Darling told his kids to get a real good skill. That is noted in a few sermons he gave. So he gave totally opposite advice for his kids and people he did not know.
2. Jeromy now has to fully-depend on donations. And knowing the Darling family, he has a few huge donors so he won't have to pay for his way in life now.
3. His non-profit "The Salvage Project" will make liveable-wage profits to live on with his home in Burnsville, MN.
Q1: Did anyone else get suckered into dropping out of college by the folks at Evergreen, GCx by a pastor or leader? I was and regret the delay it gave me in my life to even this day.
Q2: Is Jeromy Darling just like papa? I think so. He's going to take people's money under the non-profit and do the "Lord's work," and have a posh life, with one or two big donors that will be wined and dined so not a worry will happen with this wife and two kids.
Possible Q3: As a side-bar topic with Q2, I recall Mark Darling saying in a sermon at Faith Walkers basically telling that he told Jeromy's girlfriend at the time (now his wife) that she 1) MUST home school her kids 2) NEVER work outside the home 3) submit to a man's authority and 4) NEVER EVER leave the Evergreen Church system in her whole life IF she marries Jeromy.
She had to affirm all four before he would give his blessing on the engagement and marriage. So this open topic is more about the Darling family's domination over a very small group of people and how they are financing themselves in their so-called "church" in the following generation.
