- Here's What Happened | Paul Crouch Jr. Reveals the Truth of His Time at TBN
Paul Crouch Jr. has had an incredible career in film and television, and his most notable work, so far, has been overseeing production with the global Christian Network TBN. As the son of TBN's founders, the late Jan and Paul Crouch Sr., he was expected to take over as heir apparent, but amid growing controversy and numerous allegations, they parted ways in early 2016.
On today's Inside Voice, Paul is here to detail the events leading up to his departure and finally share what really happened in those final days. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and show how God uses the most broken people to shine a light on His glory. Join the conversation and learn the truth of what really happened inside one of the world's largest television networks, TBN.

Im glad you choose your daughter and truth!
Sad how people manipulate circumstances for their gain 😢
I am glad you stood up for your daughter ❤
Atleast now truth revealed. God will heal with his love.
Gotta respect people telling the truth
I always knew Jan Crouch to be money/power hungry.
I always felt Paul Jr. was humble.
As a Christian who has struggled with TBN never sitting right with me, I am glad this came out.
Same here
💯
Listen up!
I was saved through Christian Television. I love the gospel message that changed my life. DON'T TALK NEGATIVE ABOUT THE MINISTRIES THAT BRING ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL PEOPLE, EVERYWHERE.
@@bettycomas6564 yes. 👍🏾
Same here
Paul so glad you stood up for your daughter.
Amen and Amen same here 🙏 🙌 ❤ 👏 ♥ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes! That was amazing and the right thing to do.
I’m so glad I got to listen to this. I lived through each decade of TBN until Paul jr. left and that’s when I left TBN. I wish I could of heard this years ago. My heart always hurt so bad for Paul Jr. , I can’t be alone. Many 1000 of people felt like I did. So many of Us hurt for Paul Jr. Thank You for speaking to us who spent all those decades with you.
Hello 👋how’re you doing?
I, like you, left TBN when Paul left. I didn't leave because Paul left, but I knew something in my spirit wasn't right and I stopped watching and giving to the network. God Bless you Paul & family!
You , Paul Crouch, are part most certainly of the tbn and Crouch family legacy! I have always wondered about the other brother, which is you,. I am glad to hear and see you and Brenda. Healings for the whole family. Watching tbn lead me to a more spiritual awareness and have enjoyed the station. Blessings to you Paul Crouch Jr. And Brenda.
I agree wholeheartedly and followed them the same way! So happy to see this RUclips channel will definitely be watching now. I always loved Paul Jr and thought he was a true leader and every time he was on TBN it was always a better program in every way I really was saddened when he left TBN. God bless you Paul and Brenda Crouch in Jesus name.
Is that same lady that did the bible storey tbn with kids with blond hair
I got saved watching 700 Club and This is your Day almost 30 years ago. I will forever be grateful for the yes to God that Paul and Jan Crouch gave. I don’t need a tell all to know they were flawed and that their family had its share of dysfunction. May your family be healed, delivered and totally reconciled in Jesus name. GOD IS NOT INTIMIDATED BY THE MESS!!
Watching this on July 2, 2024. Many years ago I was a 'partner' of TBN, and I had always thought that Paul and Jan were really sincere, until the Lord started opening my eyes, and I saw deception, and I started sensing that Paul Crouch, Sr. Was not as he portrayed himself to be; that something was wrong. I also had a bad feeling about Matt Crouch. Thank you Paul and Brenda for making this video, and for your openness Paul, about what was going on. God bless you both.❤
This is sadder than I thought. I’m grateful that Paul Jr. kept his fear of The Lord.
100%
Paul jr I grew up watching TBN. I just believe it was God who move you out of but the rae was satan to make you resentful. You would not have ever voluntarily. He wanted to use you on a much broader capacity.
I knew something was not right but I couldn't put my finger on it and now I can. Thank you Paul for taking a stand for your daughter like you did. God is with you and your family. God bless you!
TBN is not the network it once was. This man seems like he is recovering. God bless him.
Christian organizations as well as churches lose their way when $$$ come rolling in unfortunately. I am currently seeing it in my church and sense a strong shift.
As a born again believer I too left after Paul Jr left. TBN is not the same network. It’s sad to see how it is today
It's still a good network and has good shows on every hour and half hours. Not every thing is ever perfect. Matt and Laurie are great on the show.
No it isnt.I cant watch it as I dont care for it.
Yes it's very sad I watched from 1982 until about 2010 it changed so much I know longer felt less to watch.Now it's all about a $ not souls
TBN has always been an evil network. Paul and Jan were heretics
Me too
I admire Paul Jr for speaking truth. We need to know the background of why so many of us were discerning of not Godly activities associated with TBN.
I'm so happy to see that Paul Jr is doing well. My daughter actually work for The Holy Land (a TBN theme park). It's closed now. But she always said that Paul Jr was different, a kind man who seemed very genuine in his faith. ❤️
How did Paul and Jan get so rich? This money was supposed to go to support the ministry and to help people.
@@______Name-do3ml it takes a lot to pay for the satellites and the equipment and the personnel etc., for everything to function. So please don't judge them, you don't want to reap that harvest yourself! We reap what we sow. I am sure they were wise stewards, esp. Paul Sr., when it came top money and investments, or they would never have been able to build the kind of network around the world that they did. God blessed them for their efforts, as well. And you don't know that they were 'rich'. It might have been all put back into the ministry to build it up and gain more stations and reach more people. What is wrong with that? That was their purpose and goal. Abraham was very rich because he served God and God prospered him as a result, and he paid tithes to Melchizedek. who was a priest of sorts in the Old Testament. So tithing is nothing new, and it's nothing to do with the Law, either, it is something we do to honor God and thereby stating that we know where the increase and the blessing came from in the first place! God is the SOURCE OF ALL GOOD THINGS!
This is so sad. Exposure is happening everywhere. Paul crouch Jr. thank you for coming forth with the truth. I’m so sorry you went through all this. God bless you…
Thank You for believing your daughter. It is so important to belive your daughter. I had been abused at 5 yrs old. My parents know about the abuse but they never talked to me about the abuse. They never held me or hug me. They acted like it never happened. That left alot of damage to me emotionally. Nut Hod has done alot of healing in my life.
Paul Crouch Jr. came across to me as a humble human being. Gentle spirit too.
Don't feel bad. Every family has this problem. God sees. Evil NEVER wins. I respect you. TBN went off the rails years ago. Be blessed.
TBN kept peace in my household. I was a teen mom and had 2 children by 19yrs old. I wanted my children to be better, so I kept the spirit of God in my home. My kids now between the ages of 25 - 29 still talk about not being able to watch anything but PBS and TBN. God is Faithful as I tried my best to raise them right and God has blessed me with 2 beautiful daughter-in-laws and 2 beautiful Granddaughters. No matter what, TBN was a blessing.
That's awesome! That's how you should look at it, just because they were messing up doesn't mean you just throw the baby out with the bath water. It's like when all that stuff came out about Cosby, but the Cosby show is still one of the best shows that I like to watch.
I grew up with TBN! Watching Melody Mountain, Laverne and Edith Tripp, Mike Purkey. Loved that show and it definitely helped me through a lot of things!
I used to like to watch Hal Lindsey and his witchy sister in law that was a former physic surgern!😁
AMEN Nicole!!!!!! I kept it in my house too!!!!
And God has blessed him greatly.
Bless you Paul Jr.
I Am SO Sorry! I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO TBN! I LOOOVED THE NETWORK AND THE LORD DID AMAZING THINGS THROUGH TBN!!;. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! THANKS FOR SHARING! I AM SO SORRY WHAT HAPPENED!😢😢😢!
I respect this Man's sincerity. God honour your faith
Good to see you after all this while, Paul Crouch Jr. You were always a beautiful, humble spirit! I've been saying a prayer for you every now and again over the years! God be with you!
God Bless You Paul Jr, Your wife and children. I am delighted to see You, after not seeing You for all these years.
I was tremendously blessed by TBN in the early 80s. I always wondered what happened to the anointing. Thank you for sharing this. I believe it is the season of God exposing and correcting his Church. Feel comfort that you have done the right thing Paul. It's what God is requiring from us in this season of change. Your not alone, A multitude of organizations and churches will be exposed as God moves throughout the US making the changes He requires. God bless you and your family.
Yes, I see God winnowing the Church [his people].
The chaff is being separated.
He is preparing the bride for the bridegroom's appearance.
Prepare for the rapture.
Paul & Brenda, I have so much respect for both of you. It took a lot of maturity and self-control to keep this private until you healed to the point where you could share it without anger or malice. You are a beautiful couple who compliment one another so well. THE BEST IS YET TO COME❣️🙏
@Steve Gooden…You are speaking to me. As if you were standing in front of me! I am 68 years old and I don’t think I ever really met love are knew love. I really needed that! THANK YOU for sharing that! I’m in transition now and you’ve helped more than you’ll ever know! May God richly bless your life!❤
@Steve Gooden Wow! Did you write this? This is amazing. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling, upon reading this piece. I'll have to read it again, and probably again. Thank you, I think.🤔
Paul & brenda truly my heart is touched. Forgive love and move on. God will provide. He is faithful that calleth you who will do it. Numbers 6: 24-26❤🙏
So great to see Pa8k Jr, wandered what happened . Always such a kind wonderful person.
Yes! Forgive! Man this is a nasty hit piece.
I always knew Paul Jr. Is the most genuine of all of them.
So Happy For You Paul Jr. I'm so glad all Is Well with You And Your Wife And Daugther . Stay Humble .
I totally believe what Paul is saying, and I'm so sorry to hear about how you and your daughter were treated by your own family members.
I know this video is old,but it’s insane how the network spent so much of their viewers donations to fight in court!
I'm so proud of your willingness to bare your soul Paul. I am 70 years old and saw the changes. Holy Spirit is true to reveal that something wasn't right back then and he did. May our faithful Lord cover you with an anointing to walk in HIS power for the rest of your days. GOD is your true father! 🔥🕊💪🛡⚔️💥
Hello Donna
Paul, I had watched TBN for many years and could tell that something screwy was going on behind the scenes. Thank you for filling in the blanks. And I know that you and Brenda will continue helping others to heal.
Amen and Amen same here everyday 🙏 🙌 ❤ ♥
I really loved and trusted your Dad. Matt kept talking to him as if he was going to die any time. This always upset me. I prayed "God please don't let Paul Crouch die". And, when he did I was VERY upset. Thanks for telling your side of the story. I always knew you were a good guy. I hope your new network will be as great as TBN used to be. I never see Matt and Lori anymore.
Amen and Amen same here everyday 🙏 🙌 ❤ ♥ 💖 😊😊😊😊
Wow, I always wondered what happened to this gentleman. I admire him now more than ever.
Amen!!
For those of us who had loved ones attached to TBN, we had heard bits and pieces of this. We knew when the tide turned and walked away as viewers/supporters of TBN. Thank you for standing true to the standards of the Word, regardless of the cost. The way you tell your story, we see the love and respect you have/had for your parents. You just loved God more!
Love the Crouches a lot bless them
Thank you 💕 for Tesmony God people go though thing too paul
Well said!
I agree. Well said!
Why does TBN have false preachers on the channel?
Thank you so much for you’re heart PJ. I am a past employee/leader of TBN. I worked in the Prayer Call Center as a lead over seeing the prayer partners it was a management role. I am a victim of workplace abuse and bullying, instead of my abuser Holly Bol being reprimanded for her actions she was protected and promoted. Victim shaming is real. Matt Crouch saw me as a liability even though I was the victim. I was the scape goat employee that my director Michelle Thomas used. Unfortunately the only thing Matt Crouch cares about is money and power. He uses donor funds to pay his lawyers off and fund his lifestyle. I worked there for 3 years. I seen things that were deeply troubling. I deeply regret staying as long as I did. This word has brought so much healing to my broken soul. I resigned from my position at TBN in December of 2021. Matt was the most corrupt, evil, heartless Christian leader I have ever worked for. Me along with other numerous employees were deeply effected. Employees including myself were having panic attacks and anxiety due to the environment we were working in. The work culture was toxic , they implemented corrupt business practices. Money was more important then souls, Numbers replaced employees. This word has brought such confirmation to what I already knew. Thank you PJ for you’re heart and bringing truth and clarity to what really happened. Gods people have a right to know what really happened and where their money is going, when they give to TBN. TBN is a shell of what it once was. I’m thankful accountability is coming to the house of God. It is long past due. So many people have been so hurt and deeply effected. This precious ministry was built on the precious donors of TBN and, their money is being mismanaged and it is wrong!!!!
I am sad to read your comment. I had no idea, but I do love some of the shows on tbn. I am not a giver of tbn and it appears they just changed their website app live and I don't like it at all.
I was a constant giver to TBN and I am happy I did. You obviously did not hear the whole story, because this one ( by PJ) contrast greatly with the other side. I never listen to fired/unhappy workers. They are not going to be happy campers, and who knows what they may say. When I say I never listen to fired workers, it does not necessarily mean you, above. Generally speaking, anyone carrying a grudge and left a ministry, and speaks publicly against them. I know Paul and Jan sacrificed and would have given their lives if that's what it would take. God will show the truth at the Judgement gathering. Until then we are to love one another, including ( even our enemies). An eye for an eye was denounced by Jesus. God Bless.
@@andrabcool1600 Terrible take. You listen and then investigate. And there’s a difference between someone who leaves voluntarily vs terminated and you just assumed this person was fired. It proves you’re not even a proper reader and need to consider why you are so dismissive of other’s experiences. You just made them lower by calling them “fired”. That alone is a problem within toxic people because you had to make them lower so you could justify your attitude toward them. It’s that mentality that creates toxic environments that people flee from to keep their sanity.
Thank you all for you’re input. I resigned from my position at TBN which has been documented.
And yet many found Christ thru TBN what a n irony
I knew it. The entire energy of the station changed when Matt took over. I found this video because for the first time in like 10 years I watched a little bit of TBN tonight cause I saw it was the 50th anniversary special. I was like dang Matt has gotten old! Which tells how long it has been since I’ve seen them on my tv him and wifey. Yet I couldn’t watch for long. They never carried the right spirit for me and this sheds light. Sorry Paul jr went through all this. Your mom and dad started out right but sounds like they had some challenges and deep flaws as well as all humans.
My college roommate was an employee at the main TBN station in Southern California for years after college. We talked on the phone not long after these scandals. He told me about some of the things he had seen while he was there that pushed him to leave the network. I've never discussed any of what he told me because I don't like to gossip, which is what these things would be since I was not an eyewitness. What I will say is this...I know if it weren't for Jan and Paul starting that station long ago that I would not be here right now. Flaws and all, and flawed they were, I'm grateful for them both. Having said that, the bad things happening behind the scenes should never be hidden. The struggles of leaders in the Church should never be hidden. Only in exposing the darkness can true healing take place.
By the time Matt and Laurie took over I already had stopped watching or giving to TBN. I've tried watching, but I can't. I noticed a few years ago how "Praise The Lord" is now just "Praise". That alone turns my insides.
It's now called The Word.
I miss PRAISE THE LORD
Oh my I have to say the pages of The Inspired Word of God reveals the brokenness of humanity. We live in a fallen world. There is no such thing as a Perfect Church A Perfect Family. God in His Goodness & Love for us still chooses who He may knowing All of the mistakes, All of the sin, All of the shortcomings. He chose you didn’t He? He chose Me. Please let’s remember this. 🙏 It’s truly sad when leaders choose sin. The enemy is after humanity but thank God for the Blood the Precious Blood of Jesus. The Blood that frees us. Let’s judge righteously for our brothers and sisters. We are one Body. God Bless you & everyone who stumbled across this. Amen 🙏
drunk, money
How did Paul and Jan get so rich? This money was supposed to go to support the ministry and to help people.
Let me tell you something Paul Crouch Junior is a good man, I knew he was sincere from the time I saw him, I always knew Matt Crouch was a snake, you could just look tell he had a smart Alec attitude! you keep pushing Paul Jr,God will bless you! you got a wonderful wife!
It was about 1979 as I recall, when I made door to door sales calls in an industrial area in Tustin, CA and walked in on this little Christian TV thing called TBN. I got saved at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa around that time where TBN was considered heretical pretty much. I saw Jan Crouch at John Wayne airport once with her crazy hairdo. I don’t mean to be judgmental but it’s hard to see TBN in a positive light. It just seemed so strange to me. It’s nice to see this impressive couple placing this in a better perspective. Good job Brenda. Thanks for sharing this with us. Really enjoyed this!
It's pretty clear that Matt and Laurie are a piece of work themselves and have no one's best interests at heart other than their own. It's very commendable of you to forgive them, but don't let them off the hook. Matt knew what he was doing we he tried to blackmail and frame you for something you did not do. That was not an accident on his part. You can love and forgive them, but don't tolerate their continued actions. Blessings to you Paul Jr!
Blessed and beautiful videos and blessings to you and your family 🙌 🙏 👪 ❤ 💛 💙 😊
Paul you were sorely missed by a lot of people including me. You were a bright spot of the ministry. Didn't enjoy it as much when you were removed😢. God forgives but he doesn't tolerate lies and deception. He knows everything and will reveal somethings and others he will cover. God vindicates and gets justice and God's consequences land were they're supposed to. So, so happy for your blessings and open doors and for every measure of healings and restoration for you and your family. I pray the Crouchs seek the Lord's direction to move towards reconciliation and repentance.
Bro. Matt -- wow, will he ever repent? Mama Jan-- wow, how screwed up can a family be? Matt & Mama-- what a pair! (Was Trinity targeted or what ? Was it the Luciferian Zionist-Christian cartel infiltrating, raping the granddaughter ?
In view of all of the drama facing churches today, we must, as
Christians, find ways under God's guidance, to be ready to offer safe places for people to worship God, study and preach the Word of God, and heal the broken hearted!
This was such a devastating story to listen to. I used to watch TBN regularly back in the 90s and 2000s up until the passing of Paul Sr. and Jan. TBN programming at that time was instrumental in renewing my relationship with the Lord, but after they were gone, the format changed and many shows were dropped so I quit watching. I had heard about the upheaval and power struggle at TBN, but never knew the truth and the full story until now. Paul, you are an inspiration and a man of integrity. You have weathered the betrayal of your family, remained steadfast in your faith and reliance on the Lord and He has brought you through to a higher level by his grace. It thrills me that you and your family are reaping such success and I pray the Lord will continue to grant you his favor and blessings in all you do.
I left TBN watching the same time. But l remembered a prophecy that Matt would do it differently than Paul Sr. So, l didn't feel badly, just moved to another place. God is good and He is our Father through Jesus our Beloved Savior and Lord.
I never trusted it. I watched my grandmother give tons of money to the Bakers, and we all know how that turned out. People need to support smaller churches in my opinion.
We r still in the 2000's
How did Paul and Jen get so rich? This money was supposed to go to support the ministry and to help people.
He is a much better choice to oversee TBN. Humble heart and true to his word.
When you were on television Paul my neighbor changed her property it was flooding my house my dogs died I almost died I ended up losing everything. My mom had a shed built for me in her backyard because I was so sick. I lived in a little shed and I watched you and I found my way back to Jesus. I listen to TBN and scriptures. I was sad when you left but I'm glad to hear your story after all these years. God bless you
Hi, You’re invited. I read God’s Word. Have a great day! 💖😊🍉 God bless you!
I have always appreciated and trusted Paul Crouch Jr. more than his brother, due to his very apparent, true humility and clear desire to be open and transparent, thank you…
How did Paul and Jan get so rich? This money was supposed to go to support the ministry and to help people.
Now I know why my spirit recoils at the sight/sounds of Matt Crouch and his wife and why in the later years I could never listen or watch Paul and Jan. Same thing that happened with the Bakkers at the end, there was an underlying deceitfulness that I sensed in the spirit.
Respect for this man🙏🏼
I had a dream recently that your Dad prayed for me. I used to watch Tbn back in the 90s and 2000s but not anymore. The Holy Spirit IS NOT THERE. When I watched Tbn something didn’t like about your brother… Now I understand Why. I pray that your brother will repent.
You are a Man of God Paul Jr. keep faithful to JESUS!!
Amen and Amen same here everyday 🙏 🙌 ❤ ♥ 💖 😊😊
My heart goes out to you, Paul… thank you so much for your integrity and honesty… ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I thought something was wrong when you left TBN and felt you were somehow wronged. TBN was never the same and it appeared to me that Matt was leaning toward Hollywood too much. I'm glad to hear your family is healing from this difficult time in your lives. God bless you and keep you all.
Wow! Thank you, Paul Jr, for clarifying what all transpired at TBN. I wasn't aware of all this. God will and has rewarded you for all you had to endure. You have a godly honest spirit and may God bless you and your family.
I have watched TBN over many years and never knew any of this..Bless You Paul Crouch Jr.. God provides and heals ❤️❤️
God absolutely heals & restores!!!
That's what l definitely need is healing and restoration among my 3 young adult children 🧒🧒👩 which was caused by a family member 😓😢😭😡. It has been a very difficult journey which has been 3 years.
Amen!
This is the first time in many years that I have taken the time for anything about TBN. I felt they had done you wrong which is why I stopped watching it. The TBN we all once knew changed and I'm glad that God has blessed you and your family. Keep your sight on God because so many are being revealed because of their wrong doings. I still feel you could have gotten an attorney and fought for what was your share. You helped build TBN and it was obvious you had a lot of knowledge about technology. I've been treated the same by my family so don't think that you are alone. Take Care!
I so glad that the Lord gave you and Paul grace to share this story. My mom and I were just discussing this and wondering where he was. I'm so sorry he and his daughter had to endure all of this, but most importantly the deception of the enemy, tearing up and dividing his family. But God gets the glory and He's a better person and a strong man of God for this. Blessings to you and your family!
I'm so happy to hear all that Paul Jr has told us. I really liked him on TBN and was sorry when he left. I never knew why, but they tried to blame it on him. I never really liked Matt and I didn't believe him. I stopped watching when Paul left. God bless you, Paul jr and you're lovely wife! Thank you for this interview!
Amen and Amen same here everyday 🙏 🙌 ❤ ♥ 💖 👏 😊😊😊😊
Thank you for being honest and transparent. TBN has not and will never be the same. You both are inspirational!
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I see it changing and even the program to one a talk show and many selling health items on the show .. I use to hearing preaching anything of the day and night on TBN. Because I leave my TV in day and night on TBN but now they have different programs not related to to preaching God word.. it’s frustrating and I now turn my Tv to another gospel channel
Paul and Brenda please write the story, it must be told. Love to you and your families
I have always wondered what happened with you, Paul Jr. Thank you for sharing your heart.
The truth is the truth,thank you for telling your truth!
I’m so glad you’re daughter is recovering well. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This has given some clarity to the decline of TBN today.
This message is for Paul Crouch Jr.
i started watching TBN as a new Christian, it was my first church actually for a few months before I started attending an Assembly of God church, that was 1999. I did watch TBN lots for a few years and it did fead me and I built a foundation in the word. Later when i heard about your dad passing I was sad, I felt like I lost a father even though I never knew him except watching TBN in the early years of my Christian faith. Sometime later I had a dream about you, your dad, and mat your brother. I understood that the meaning of the dream was showing that you Paul Jr are the one who has received the generational blessing from your father. You are like Jacob and your brother Mat is Esau. I never understood why I had this prophetic dream about you, your Dad and brother but I understand it clearly showed that you had the blessing with your dad’s passing. Even Though Mat took over TBN.
Matt is cringeworthy to watch. I hope he gets truthful with himself. Such courage you and your wife Brenda have exhibited . thank you
drunk, money
I worked for the TBN station in Washington for 17 years, we all knew that Paul Jr was the best option we could have had for leadership. Unfortunately since Matt got control he shut us down. Things could have been a LOT different.
I used to watch TBN faithfully in the 1990s but not anymore. I always thought Matt was egotistical and constantly flaunting his position. He never seemed sincere. I am truly touched by this interview and your transparency. You have a good heart and seem very sincere. I wish you and your beautiful wife continued success in your ministry.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
You’re exactly right Jacqueline. Always found Matt very sarcastic and beyond arrogant 😢.
@@joannaluca8495 I will turn my TV off before I watch Matt...he is the most uncharismatic person on Christian TV...and the most obnoxious bully anywhere...I feel for his wife...
Matt seemed like in the closet. Laurie very fake imo
I was an employee at TBN in Phoenix for many years. There was so much horrible drama in the management. I reported some of it to California headquarters but was ignored and the phx manager ( who was physically and verbally abusive to the employees) was promoted in the company and to this day is a "higher up" in the company. I always knew there must have been some bad stuff going on in the main TBN headquarters because this stuff always trickles down from the top. And now that I think about it, Laurie's parents worked along side me at the Phx studio and I always wondered why they never reported her to the top. I know now why. So sad.
Its cuz this family had an open door and it trickled down to all of its businesses..deliverance ministry is vital
God's judgement will be upon TBN because there's alot of false teachings on there.
@@donnacallahan1368 I agree with you.
Very sad! That's what happens when we let the devil in. All he needs is a crack door 🚪 God help us!
❤
Thanks for standing up for your daughter and also it took great courage to confront your parents. Im sorry you had to walk through this but God has brought you to a place of blessing and honor.
Thank you for shining a light on what the enemy tried to do to TBN. JESUS always gets the Victory🙌🏽🙏❤
I’m so glad I found this on you tube. I always felt genuine Spirit coming through you when I saw you on TBN, wondered what happened to you and your wife (I think
she is from Oklahoma where I live). I didn’t connect with TBN like I used to after your dad passed. None of us are immune to family conflict, I thought our family’s are the worst and hearing your heart breaking story of yours truly hurts my heart. God bless you and your family as I give praise to God for His love and grace embracing you as you walked in Him every painful step in obedience. I pray His continued blessings over you rest of the journey here on earth.
Me too! I wondered what happened to Paul, so I stopped watching TBN! Many did! 😢
This should open eyes and understanding. The Christian life is Not Always hugs and smiles. It has peaks and valleys. We must remember we not only Human first ~ but when you look at our very first family, Adam, Eve and their first two children, you see DYSFUNCTION! Adam [reminded] God of the woman He brought into his life while Eve acknowledged following satan’s ‘suggestion’ that God had lied to ‘them’? The first murder: a brother, filled with jealousy, KILLED his own sibling. So, I’ve come to realize that there are no perfect people, no perfect families. Christ HAS TO make the difference. THANK YOU for sharing your struggles. We have to encourage one another. I know your testimony is helping thousands of people. As the song says, we are all level at the cross. God bless you all
If not for TBN and the programs on it, I don't think I'd be saved. I was a Catholic who knew nothing about the Bible and the real truth of Christianity.
Just WOW!!!
Keep walking with the Lord.
I can feel your hurt.
The wheat and the tares are being separated.
We can't fool God!!
Blessings to you both 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I watched TBN for years and it feed me, taught me and guided me. The last 2 years I tune in and it feels sooo creepy. Like Kanya West and the Trash Guy is a few examples. Tyler Perry another. Stirs my spirit in a bad way. Kanya preaching in Osteens church, that stuff scares me.
As a Young Christian back around 2005 to 2007 Paul Crouch Jr. was my favorite host by far on TBN. There is just a sincerity that you know in a Minister, and Humbleness and everyone saw it in Him. You could tell the difference between him and the rest of the family, I will just leave it at that. Praise God for a man confronting Sin and wrongdoing, and not conforming. God will right any wrong, and exalt those who humble themselves.
He was my favorite host as well.
Agreed! Me too.
Absolutely agree. The difference was very noticeable
Amen! God honors integrity!
Mr. and Mrs. Paul and Brenda this was heartbreaking to hear. I believe your story. I can still see how GOD moved so powerfully over you all. I used to watch TBN faithfully during the Praise the Lord and the telethons. It brought me so much joy. TBN literally drew me closer to Christ Jesus. I haven't watched or supported in years because so much changed. Programs were dropped. Praise the Lord program became more about selling books and shorter. I respect you and your wife so much because even though you hurt sharing this, you still honored your parents. This REPRESENTS THE NATURE OF CHRIST JESUS. I will support yall wherever you go. I pray continued favor and that God smile upon yall always. This warms my heart and soul to see humility and strength and most of all love in leaders for the Body of Christ.
Paul I’m so glad that you had the experiences that you had you realize that you were inflexible and God had to break you in order to released the anointing that he had given you this was a breaking like no other I’m sure but you have to realize that you are better for the braking because now you can have the oil of gladness and there is no secrets anymore so you don’t have to be sick because families that have secrets are sick. I just pray that your wife can recover she has a beautiful smile but I feel like it’s condescending and it is something that she’s gonna have to work through and that’s forgiving the crouches because if I was in her shoes I’d be still bitter and have a nightmares of stringing a few people out by their necks and so I do recognize her pain I pray that she recovers her soul as well wish you much much grace and mercy and strength and endurance until the year
WHAT IS SO WONDERFUL ABOUT BEING DECEIVED BY THESE CHARLTONS

What a rough time you had. So glad God gave you the mercy & Grace to navigate through the storm.
MR.PAUL CROUCH ,JR IS A TRUE SERVANT OF ALMIGHTY GOD. A GREAT AND HONEST YOUNG MAN ❤❤
I’m so glad I saw this today. I always wondered what happened. I supported the ministry until Matt came and the spirit of the show changed drastically. Thank u so much for sharing your story. Now I know why the spirit of the show changed. God bless u and ur family🙏
The wife of Matt. Grrrrr
Paul, I was blessed to be on "Praise" with you (9-16-2010) as a police chaplain. I still have the DVD. I just watched your testimony here and you have the same heart as I do even on the show you mentioned how both of us do similar things in media. I also can feel your heart about what you went through. Thank you for sharing and serving our God! (BTW, I am still serving as a Chaplain!)
Thank you for your service, Sir.
If you read this Paul, I want you to know that I always felt the genuineness of your faith. Even though I didn’t know the inner workings behind the scenes, spiritually I knew things were amiss but you were one of God’s light. I felt the difference between you and your brother and I pray that he will one day allow Christ to shine in him one day. I’m so thankful for your faithfulness and family. May God be glorified in all of this.
I used to watch TBN but began to see God lift His hand off the ministry! Be glad your free✝️✝️
.God never had His hand on TBN
Nothing takes God by surprise. May He bring healing and forgiveness into every area of your lives in Jesus Name Amen 🙏
Amen
This is the first time I've heard of what Paul went through with his family and TBN. Sorry to hear about all that went on behind the scenes...so much suffering! Thank you for doing the right thing and being so honest about it. So very rare to have such vulnerability and honesty! Bless you both ❤️
Thank you both. I'm so glad I saw your program tonight. It took a lot of courage. What Glory God got from it. I've been through a lot too, but as it is proving time and time again, the Lord's faithfulness and love keeps us. God Bless you and the Wonderful work He has done and continues to everyday, fulfilling our days. God is good.
Paul, I’m sure this was one of the hardest things to talk about. I have been with a ministry that had a beautiful vision, but when family members came in to impart there own vision and not the one God had given the ministry a movement was destroyed…. I really needed to know I wasn’t alone , and Our God Reigns! Praying for you Paul & Brenda.
Thank you for sharing and showing how faithful God is even when we go through the fire. I'm encouraged...
My Lord your grace and mercy is endless ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I worked as a prayer minister for a reputable ministry in the Dallas metroplex back in '91. I volunteered as a prayer partner for the TBN branch and the folks I prayed with had expressed their heartfelt appreciation. Very shortly, the newly recruited English overseer demands a letter of recommendation from the church of each phone minister. Excuse me!! Firstly, I was doing that without pay. Also, the pastor of the fellowship I was attending in Irving, is a Jezebel, who'd be difficult to approach for such matters. Needless to say, I never returned. Bless em all! 🎉🎉
So sad this happened in your situation, it made me think that in the church I’ve attended for years but not an official member of, there are literally thousands just like me, the minister doesn’t even know half of the attendees by facial recognition, let alone by name. There are so many lost in the shuffle. But be assured, or Heavenly father knows us, knows who we are.
I am still hoping for the rapture. I remember your Dad used to hold up his hand and say, "just think we will be raptured out of here and this hand will be changed before our eyes". I never noticed that Paul was affected by alcohol. I loved the story about the mountain moving out of the way of your satellites. And I really believed Jan's chicken story. TBN taught me SO much. Thank you!
Yes!! The chicken story...😢😊❤
There's nothing like humility, forgiveness, and transparency for the healing of the nation.
I’m so sorry you and your family went through this. I hadn’t watched TBN in years but noticed an obvious difference in the network when I started watching again a couple of years ago. I pray for your family’s complete healing and restoration.
God bless you Paul CrouchJr and your family.
Paul Jr, you have always been my favorite Crouch. I used to love watching your show. There was never drama with you. You were always mature and reasonable. I sensed this for years before hearing it today. You confirmed it. I love some programs/preachers on TBN but mainly watch Daystar now. There’s not much to choose from. TBN has had control for years. Instead of waking up at 3 am longing to hear about Jesus, Instead I see ads with Jordan Reuben and his partnership with TBN selling products. I see a new news program like that which I try and avoid and a women’s talk show with as much drama as The View. Because of this, I have prayed for years that all false empires and teachers crumble but at the same time God raises up a new ministry to catch the viewers fed up in the fall and I hope that is you and your ministry. May the Lord repay you 10 fold for all you have suffered for speaking the truth. Your faithfulness, truthfulness and perseverance will reap a great harvest. May God bless you and your family and raise you up to do great things for the Lord for many years to come. I’m excited to see what He has planned for you! Thank you for your honesty. We miss you! And I pray for family reconciliation, repentance and truthfulness on Matt’s part.
Amen and amen… this is an answer to a longtime prayer for me… may God raise upin these last days a humble, yet bold overcoming Church that loves the truth and only the truth… ❤👆🙏
you are right, I too stopped watching years ago. I remeber them having Jamal Bryant ,the womanising pastor, on and he went on and on about material things. I was still a young Christian and it made it seem like being blessed meant having money. Jordan Ruben is also another fraud....
I love you Paul and I have missed you!!!! I am so proud of you ❤️💜thank you for sharing 🙌🙏💜. God bless you and Brenda and family 😢😊❤
Amen!!!
Wow! I'm not even all the way through this video yet and already I can relate to you! I'm a third generation PK and I went through so many things your describing growing up in ministry. Even my family and other ministers that traveled with my family and did shows on TBN hid so much sinful stuff. What you'd see in the limo after tapping wasn't what people just watched on TV! I was in your daughters situation as well. It's horrible! I had such trauma and abuse growing up in the PCofG and AofG originations behind the scenes. It's so sad because my parents had strong undeniable callings and giftings but couldn't put pride aside and get help and get healed. I was taught to hide EVERYTHING and sweep it under the rug because if I told I'd bring a reproach to Christ and the ministry. I'm so thankful that God made me strong and tenacious. I had such a deep love for Jesus since I was a very small child because it's with Jesus that I felt truly loved and safe! As I grew up I learned to stand on what the Word of God said and not be just led around by others that claimed to be Godly. I began to see what was happening in our Christian home did not line up with what the Bible said and I wanted what the Bible said only. God was able to heal and deliver me from such control and domination etc that I grew up with so that it stopped in my bloodline and that stuff wouldn't carry on to my children then grandchildren. I'm so thankful to my precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all he has done for me. Thank you to you both for being brave enough to be honest and do this video. I know it can be so difficult. Not many listened to me or wanted to believe someone they looked up to like my family members could have done such horrible things, but God knows the truth. God bless you both!
Grateful for this video exposing the truth behind the scenes. I had been aware of the incident with the employee and Paul's daughter and the denial of Jan about it. Thank you for uploading this so fans can learn the truth.
I am so deeply touched by your testimony. Such courage and authenticity. You have encouraged me! God bless you.
I just happened to come upon this and I'm about your age Paul and our family started watching TBN in the mid to late 70's, my mom had it on all the time, she partnered with TBN and i prayed to receive the Lord in our living room at 21 yrs old watching TBN, so TBN is very near and dear to my heart. I will always be so grateful. But I'm sort of shocked and very much saddened as I listened to you Paul as you're speaking about everything that happened with your parents Paul and Jan and the things that happened with your brother Matt. I just had to let myself cry deeply, thinking all you went through and your family. I love your mom and dad and The Crouch family, will always be part of my family, i still watch TBN and I have often thought about your parents and your brother Matt and how everything kind of happened, but wondering to myself, what really did happen? I'm glad you are happy and doing well and that your daughter kara is also well, Praise God that he has good plans for you and it sounds like you and your wife Brenda are doing some exciting things for the Lord. I pray for a complete restoration and healing for you and your whole family, including your brother Matt.
God bless you and your wife and family PJ. Thank you for your transparency. I have been a TBN supporter from the late 80's until a few years before your parents passed. I know that everything you said is true because l followed the ministry closely and gave my monthly contibution. I saw TBN's decline many years ago. I also wrote your mother about the feud between you and Matt that l saw coming but l was a no titled person that she never acknowledged.
However, it is neither here or there. I was sad when they forcced you out, and knew that TBN would never be the same. God is faithful, and He is with you and your family. I am happy that your precious daughter is doing fine.So continue to trust God for the great things ahead of you all. You and Brenda are filled with God's love and humility. ❤
Father God YOUR WORDS ARE TRUE AND PURE.YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. YOUR ARE A WONDERFUL MAN OF GOD. .There is no PERFECT PERSON OR MINISTRY..HALLELUJAH. GOD DOESNT GIVE UP ON ANYONE. I supported TBN FINANCIALLY FOR MANY YEARS.TBN was my life as a single Christian woman.I was so blessed and inspired. I LOVE you brother, but GOD LOVES YOU MORE.Everyone have a story. Thanks for telling the TRUTH..IFi don't FORGIVE MY BROTHER, NEITHER WILL OUR HEAVEN FATHER FORGIVES US
MAKE YOU REE
B
The world is ever grateful for TBN. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.👆
Years ago TBN was the only channel I would watch. I wanted my home to be filled with The Holy Spirit. One day something, couldn't put my finger on it, troubled my spirit. I prayed, sought The L-RD, but I just couldn't stomach it anymore. Thank you for your courage and being the wonderful parents your daughter needed.
Same here the only channel I would watch I was rebuked by some friends and family members for doing so. And one day in 2016 I saw what my money was supporting and that was the end for me.
Thank you for sharing and being an example of transparency and honesty.
Im sorry you, your family, and your daughter went through that.
I stopped watching TBN over 15 yrs ago, something was just 'off', not right. I do recall Paul Sr slurring words and his body movements off, but, never would've guessed it was alcohol.....EVER!
I would look at these TV personalities and think ' if i could only live sinless and in prosperity' like them. Its very freeing to know they struggled how everyone else struggles. Thank you again for sharing. God bless you.
Thank you for finally sharing. No one is perfect, I know this was hard, but I believe that it’s necessary. I pray Gods blessings on you and your family. I am glad you stood for your daughter. So important.
