“If someone smears your name with lies, that is not Jesus—and if we do, Yeshua does not know you.”
—Mark Anthony Stephens, moments before… smearing someone’s name.

Let’s not dance around it:
Mark is likely talking about Tori in this post.
But here’s the truth—Tori barely even acknowledges his existence, publicly or privately.
She’s moved on. Quietly. Privately.
She’s not posting about him. She’s not smearing him.
She’s protecting her peace.

Meanwhile, Mark is writing Bible meme poetry about betrayal, “fake marriages,” and narcissists who “pretend they’re divorced.”
He calls this “truth.”
We call it projection.

💡 The Point of This Blog?

It’s not revenge. It’s documentation.

This blog exists because if Mark ever chooses to comply with court-ordered domestic violence and mental health evaluations, we will need more than memory.
We’ll need evidence.

We’re not guessing about who Mark is—we’re recording what he’s already done.
Because Mark doesn’t stop.
He doesn’t reflect.
He escalates.

📉 A Case Study in Escalation: Liam’s Life on the Line

Let’s walk through this one example—because it says everything.

Mark’s son Liam was being treated for a life-threatening eating disorder (ARFID) and OCD by professionals at the Kartini Clinic in Portland.
Liam was:

• Not growing
• Malnourished
• At risk of cardiac, skeletal, and long-term developmental issues
• Showing full growth arrest and delayed puberty

The doctors warned Mark.
He argued.
The psychiatrists explained.
He dismissed them.

He questioned the diagnosis. Claimed ARFID was made up for profit. Insisted that soy milk makes boys gay and that almond milk cures obesity. He ignored Liam’s doctors, therapists, even his son’s own words.

The medical team became so concerned, they called CPS.

❌ And What Did Mark Do Next?

• He coached both Liam and Nathan on what to say.
• He had them sign a handwritten “contract” claiming the doctors were lying and that Liam was “obese.”
• He claimed the Kartini Clinic fabricated the diagnosis of ARFID as part of a profit scheme—despite ARFID being a medically recognized eating disorder listed in the DSM-5 since 2013.
• He attempted to override medical consensus with pseudoscience, religious rhetoric, and control.

And here’s the kicker:

💸 Mark didn’t pay for anything.
The real costs—medical, financial, emotional—were covered by us.
We fought for Liam’s life.
Mark fought for control.

🧠 This Is Why We Document.

Not because of spite.
Not because of bitterness.
But because when you’ve seen the damage firsthand, and you know what’s still possible, you don’t hope it goes away—you prepare.

This blog is not about “smearing” Mark.

It’s about protecting children, tracking patterns, and documenting a long, ugly history of:

• Escalation
• Denial
• Emotional and spiritual abuse
• And public performance masked as righteousness

📖 What the Bible Actually Says:

• Proverbs 26:28 – “A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.”
• Matthew 7:20 – “By their fruit you will recognize them.”
• James 3:10 – “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.”

So let’s check the fruit:
Liam nearly starved. Nathan withdrew. Tori fled. Melissa has a permanent restraining order. And even Mark’s own posts contradict themselves weekly.

But somehow—everyone else is smearing him?

No, Mark. That’s not a smear.
It’s a mirror.

🌀 How Can He NOT See the Contradictions in His Own Posts?

That’s the question, isn’t it?

How does someone post about being smeared while actively smearing others?
How does someone quote scripture about grace while weaponizing it to attack?
How does someone claim to be heartbroken over being erased—while erasing the mother of his children, the stepfather who raised them, the therapists who treated them, and even the doctors who tried to save them?

How does he not see the glaring contradictions?

Because he’s not looking for truth.
He’s looking for control.

He doesn’t want reconciliation—he wants an audience.
He doesn’t want healing—he wants a spotlight.
And every time someone calls him out, it becomes more “proof” that he’s the victim.

It’s not that he can’t see the contradictions.
It’s that he’s built an entire identity around pretending they don’t exist.

This blog? It’s not for Mark.
It’s for the people caught in his wake—those who do see the truth and need help surviving it.
