Bethel wouldn't stop him so his son and victims are going public.

Bethel knew and didn't warn... I believe that Bob Hartley is one of the key threads running through the past 40 years of the Charismatic church (Bethel, IHOPKC, Morningstar, etc.). If we pull on that thread, we will see the truth that there is a long-standing Cover-up Culture in the movement and some of the biggest names have participated in it. In this video, I interview the son of Bob Hartley, Jedidiah, who exposes his father's fake prophecy grift and how Bob used it to prey upon women. I also...

I believe we CAN take back the universities for Christ.

The kids go to school and learn ideologies that undermine the Christian faith. Later they end up voting, teaching, and running the country with those ungodly ideologies directing them. This has been going on for a while now and the results are devastating. But we can turn the tide if we just stop sleeping on this. Where education goes, the country goes. In this video we are going to outline not only the problem but the solutions we can all participate in, to take back universities for Christ and...

It's actually getting WORSE! We need to do something.

There is an information war going on about Nigeria right now. While persecution has intensified, we are flooded with lies about how there simply is no Christian persecution by Muslims in Nigeria. Completely deceptive propagandists are appearing all over, including one platformed by Tucker Carlson recently, who denied the truth about Christian persecution.

Our hostile culture.

I plan to continue engaging more in not only discussing these issues but in intentionally mobilizing believers to take action in the public square to preach the Gospel (above all), to change minds, rescue our countries, change laws, transform institutions, and become activists. Why? Because that's what it means to think biblically about loving your neighbor and seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
