My Storm, Your Spectacle: The Weaponization of Public Pity

“I am sharing what I have learned in Marriage, with lies and being cheated on by a false believer claiming to know Christ. My storm your blessing. #wolvesinsheepsclothing”

There’s something deeply unsettling about the way some people turn personal pain into performance—especially when that pain is laced with accusations, half-truths, and a heavy dose of spiritual theatrics.

This post, from the “Victory in Marriage” page (a familiar haunt for Mark Anthony Stephens’ ongoing martyr campaign aka, his page), is a masterclass in weaponized victimhood. What could have been a private moment of reflection or healing has once again been leveraged for public sympathy, passive-aggressive condemnation, and spiritual manipulation.

Let’s break it down:

  • “Lies and being cheated on…” – As usual, we get the scripturalized version of he said/she’s not here to defend herself. There’s no context, no accountability, and certainly no humility. Just a vague accusation designed to rally followers to his emotional corner.
  • “A false believer claiming to know Christ…” – This is the heart of Mark’s tactic: religious smearing. When someone doesn’t fit his narrative or comply with his control, they’re branded as fake Christians, Jezebels, or wolves in sheep’s clothing. It’s not theology—it’s targeted character assassination with a spiritual twist.
  • “My storm your blessing.” – In case it wasn’t clear, this isn’t about healing. This is about harvesting attention. His suffering is repackaged as wisdom, not to grow, but to control the narrative. It’s performative pain. It’s a sermon designed to martyr himself while burning everyone else at the stake.

Here’s the irony:
The same man who cries betrayal has himself left a long trail of court-verified lies, emotional abuse, spiritual manipulation, unpaid support, and fractured relationships. He didn’t weather a storm—he created one. And now, he’s selling umbrellas to anyone who will stand in his rain.

The hashtag #wolvesinsheepsclothing is fitting…
Just not for the person he’s accusing.

Because real wolves don’t growl.
They quote scripture, spin stories, and smile while they devour.
And they always make sure their storm is someone else’s fault.

So if this is the lesson you’ve “learned in marriage,” Mark, maybe it’s time to stop teaching.
Because all you’re really doing is preaching from the pulpit of your own unrepentance.
