Hi hi! 👋🏾 Video chapters below. Who should I cover next? Apologies for getting this out so damn late... I tried something new in my research/editing process and it backfired, lol. I also had to rewrite Chapter 5 about 3x due to all the scandals that kept breaking. Hope all is well! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. 🍿 Chapters: 0:00 Intro 2:23 The God Squad 9:21 Make Me A Belieber 26:03 Pay To Pray 36:58 The Mistress 50:19 An Empire Explodes 1:02:40 Pet Palate Cleanser
It's ok Josie !!! We all know that you're busy and that you want to have a 100% in depth quality video for us !!! Yayyyyy !!!!! Hi Josie !!!! I've been patiently waiting for this Amazing and very Informative video !!! You're my favorite channel !!!! This is the only channel that I actually look forward to and watch in its entirety from beginning to end !!! Thank You !!!! Josie !!!! On the what you should cover next bit, hunh ?? I'm going to say Debt or Student loan debt.... people are committing suicide because they don't see a way out of their debt..... and our culture and society is all about buy, buy, buy and it's soo easy to get into debt these days..... much love Josie !!!
This was such a good and thorough video!! I would love if you could cover Joel Osteen as I haven’t seen any comprehensive breakdowns of his past and shady business. Thanks for all your hard work!
Ive been wanting a vid from you!!! Yaaaa, it's always worth the wait. I'd rather have long form content and wait longer anyways! Especially with your quality and editing!!!!!
@@iambella081 I'm pretty sure he FAMOUSLY CONDEMNED that kind of favoritism and spent most of his time with the poor, the sex workers, and the lepers..... Like Jesus himself is absolutely punk rock. The idea of loving so hard that you go out of your way to love absolutely everybody regardless of status-- even deliberately loving those that society tells you to ignore-- doing all that so hard that it pisses people off. That's life changing love. It makes me so wildly angry to see the way churches and scam artists have twisted the message to be literally the opposite.
The Bible is responsible for all this crap. Every day some sad nutter texts quotes from its most inane sections. It's just an old book about a tribe who think they are god's chosen. Talk about exclusivity.
If they read the Bible, they wouldn't even wanna be pastors or what it takes to speak and preach the word of God! The most terrifying thing because you'll have to give answers on judgement day!
One of the best documentaries I’ve watched anywhere! Back in 2008, I remarried and was introduced to a Pentecostal church who was all about Hillsong music. I noticed some strange things, but just figured I didn’t grow up Pentecostal, I grew up non denominational. 3 years into my marriage, I got breast cancer and had to have a double mastectomy. Right after I lost my breasts, my husband filled for divorce. Turns out, he had been cheating with another church member. I was in a bad place health wise. Once he left, the church left me too. It gave me church PTSD. I just worship Jesus on my own. I’m still single. I’m healthy now, reconstructed and my heart finally healed.
Heidi what happened to you was disgusting. I can believe that the church left you along with your husband because it happened to my family member as well. Im glad that you have healed and your heart had healed. Your personal relationship with God is your strength, hang in there and stay encouraged. Your testimony will many women that have suffered from the same experiences. Sending you well wishes and blessings. Hang in there and stay encouraged sister.
Any Church Leader that lives a lavish lifestyle at the expense of their parishioners with so much need of the poor and struggling in the World has falsely represented God's Word. Sad
As someone who grew up just down the road from Liberty University, seeing a megachurch pastor with tattoos, a leather jacket, and a slicked back mohawk is strange (not bad, just strange) but there’s one thing that all these mega church pastors have in common: the reason it’s a mega church is the money and privilege, not Jesus.
You need to be, obviously, in a close relationship with God to be in a Christian leadership position. This will allow you to remain humble. Without humility you're bound to fail. I think these people probably started off with good intentions, but the more their church grew, the more it became about just becoming bigger. The pride and ego comes in, they take their eyes off God, it becomes all about them, even deluding themselves that they're doing great things for God - while not seeing how far away they've strayed from anything that even resembles true Christianity .
Or honest. But lets be honest, every christian lacks :p thats what our whole fight is about: do u fight the lacks and better yourself or do u bow to the flesh? The fight is daily
The lord is watching and knows everyone, we must trust and rely on the lord not what others do or say cause it all should matter what the lord says and does.
In 2001 I had an invitation to go to Hillsong’s school, right out of high school. A couple wanted to “bless me” and pay my way. I knew nothing about the church; they weren’t internationally known at that time I don’t think. I was so close to accepting but I never did. For over a decade I looked back on that as a missed opportunity as I watch that church grow. But as I matured in my faith I understood the pitfalls of a large church. I look back on that and thank God I didn’t accept the offer. My life would probably look a lot different and probably not for the best. What a trip to think back on that.
@@jbates725 real churches are better whether they are big or small, when I say real I mean where people who say they are Christians have love and compassion for their fellow humans, where they actually help others and live the creed they preach at others, where money is not their goal but real caring
As the son of a pastor where I played the drums in the worship band, I'll just say I've got some stories. You give people even an inkling of power, it's amazing what the end up doing.
@@Tyler-vw9bh, I would say the people at the top skimming money from people's tithes, and the many affairs going on amongst members of the church. Not to make any assumptions, I kept being invited to the house by the wife of a deacon who was away on active duty with the air force, who would send me questionable text complimenting me on my looks. I was young, very religious and totally unaware at the time of everything going on. I'm not a follower of any faith now.
@@vitast2000 As someone who did 4 years in the Marine Corps, I can say your assumption is probably safe. 90% of my married friends got cheated on. Thanks for sharing the story, I grew up in church but stopped going once I moved out (always been skeptical of org religion). That said, I was not a full blown atheist just really didn't think about it. I am 30 now and just started going to church a couple weeks ago and now try to be a man of faith. That said, I still recognize everyone in that service from the guy preaching to myself is a human and thus flawed. Stories like yours still make me sad though because even though I do a lot of regrettable things, I am happy to say I don't steal/hurt/cheat on others.
In a way I would like serving a position in a church, but not any of these heretical mega churches. And certainly not as a pastor. God gave me the gift of teaching. But since I never went to Bible school, I use my gift in helping people to stop trusting in the man-made doctrines and traditions of men, and using the scriptures alone. However, I know that I am more accountable to God in what I teach as opposed to just some dude attending church services. The more a person knows, the more accountable they will be on the Day of Judgement when God will judge every believer for what they did on earth as well as how they made use of the talents (spiritual gifts) that they were given.
Run to Jesus! Trust in Him alone! + If you have defected from God then read these Scriptures: (Lost Sheep, Luke 15:1-7 - Lost Coin, 15:8-10 - Lost Son, 15:11-32 - Rich Man and Lazarus, 16:19-31) Jesus is calling you back home, read His word, believe and repent. Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone! + The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord! If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now! These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the catching up / the blessed hope, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!... It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens. + May the Lord encourage you to seek the truth, in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.
@@SandraBrasilyou can see what the Catholic Church does for the world tho, these guys are blowing all the money on 4 wheelers and jets and gucci. Catholic Church has hospitals universities they do tons of stuff for people globally
I'm atheist and obviously don't go to church, but even I can recognize how big of a red flag a VIP section is with my little knowledge of Christian values.
I pray our God almighty will show you the real way. This is just people who sadly get lost while trying to serve God because they don't place their eyes on him. May our Lord Jesus speak to your life directly so you can follow him and no one else. God bless your life!
Like promoting homosexualilty.... that's a blasphemous level of abusing Christ's words of "love each other". I wonder if Hell has a population limit because it's been never had a bigger waiting list.
If you were to literally follow the word of God, it would be entirely permissible for you to rape a woman that you've enslaved during war, to force her to be your wife. You know, as long as you let her mourn her family (that you murdered) for like a month before you do it, since God is totally compassionate and knows that she needs that. Oh, is that word of God not the word of God you were talking about?
@@johncunningham1889 you obviously don’t know anything about the word of God/distortion of the word is not going to save you you make these claims where is the proof to anything you say show scripture or don’t reply cause you just sound ignorant to the truth
@@drzaius8430I’m fairly certain God wants all of us with him in heaven since we’re his children, and has endless mercy for us, as shown through Jesus’s crucifixion. Personally I don’t think there’s a waiting list for hell.
I'm Australian where Hillsong originated from. This is NOT a church, it's a cult. The difference to this so-called church is the people who attend go there for blessings. A true Christian must not seek blessings they must be the blessing. How? By feeding the hungry, cloth the naked, give shelter to those in need and generally helping those who need help, this is Gods will. Also a Christian must understand what 'Church' means. Church isn't a building or a religion, it means "all those who believe and have Faith in Jesus the Christ". You can offer nothing to God but filthy rags, you can only please God through Faith and do what he says, be the blessing expecting nothing in return, it's a real honour to carry out Gods will, the fact that you are doing his word, you are the blessing. Amen😁
A true Christian, is also a true idiot..... Theism is humanities greatest failure. Those dark age peasants who were meant to be convinced by the madness of the bible, can be forgiven for believing the madness of theism as they couldn't be educated. The elite and the churches ensured that, thinking that educated people would find the madness of theism as just that. Again, those dark age peasants can be forgiven for believing the madness of theism. Modern day educated people have no such excuse....
When a church doesn’t teach the Bible chapter by chapter verse by verse watch out! When a teacher doesn’t show you good tools so you can eventually teach yourself . It was long time coming for myself finding a true scholar. God bless
This is so sad. Unfortunately stuff like this ruins people's faith. "When a person plays Beethoven poorly, you don't blame Beethoven. Likewise, when a person plays Christ poorly, you don't blame Christ" - Frank Turek.
This isn’t sad it’s evil at work this was an agenda from the start to let this effect or shake your faith these people are actors and Bieber is homosexual being passed around like a whore pray for him they raped his mind as a child so he is seriously wounded
Im guessing there was some dark stuff going on behind those closed doors. Hollywood tends to rape people and spit them out. Good thing Christ was perfect for us because everyone falls way short.
A pastor who dresses and behaves like a rockstar was cheating on his wife ? Shocking! I just feel sorry for the people in his congregation who he manipulated in believing his BS!
@@ahar7624 Most of this people are lost .. They actually need and want direction .They have no religious background and even if they do,they need someone to direct them . But they have found themselves in the wrong place . I grew up a Christian but didn't know anything about Christ .. neither was I Christ like. But His Grace found me and I knew something was missing. That was when I pressed into seeking Him and I am still on the journey. I don't think it ever ends. I belive we all should put all our hope in God and not men . Don't expect too much from anyone who isn't Christ like. And even those who are Christ like , because they are humans , might not tick all your good behaviour boxes every time .
This literally just breaks my heart :( Imagine? there's a lot of people out there who's seeking for Jesus, then there's also these false prophets who chose to mislead broken people..
Justin Bieber was taken advantage by many people in his late teens. I've always felt like there was a ridiculous amount of pressure and press on him and his mistakes. I feel similarly about people like Amanda Bynes, Aaron Carter, MacCauley Caulkin, Britney Spears. Some of them turn out okay in the end (I think Justin did tbh) but some of them are fucked forever and beyond hope at this point like Aaron Carter. Child exploitation and manipulation is so normalized in Hollywood.
No, Hollywood has absolutely nothing to do with it, it's a much more insidious draw through the needle, called fame. People today equate fame with recognition, when in fact they're exactly the opposite, one should know the difference, or they might be trapped thinking that going "viral" is something good.
I call the mistress' statement BS. He is completely at fault, but she isn't innocent either. She knew he was married. She should have pushed him away harder.
Right? Especially the part where she expressed that she didn't want his wife to be hurt. If you don't want her to be hurt don't sleep with her husband?
I was literally rolling my eyes at some of her words lol. I agree she made a bad choice and isn't completely blameless, but I hate that she got so much abuse from congregants and such when HE'S the one with the wife and the problem and the secrecy and the leadership role. She just happened to be attracted to the wrong rich guy. It's all garbage all the way down but I just hate it when the "other woman" gets all the abuse. Like his wife punching the nanny? Tf? Punch your shitty husband!
She seems very immature, self absorbed, selfish and without self reflection. He is a scumbag but she is not better. And sorry Missy, but you ARE a MISTRESS and nothing mysterious about you - you just like attention
She likely never heard of Christianity,,,,,,,is a woman of darkness,,,,,,no moral values,no integrity and Satan used her to prey on Carl Lentz. He couldn’t handle all the money and attention and fame. Just because a man has the gift of the gab and plays cool does NOT qualify him for the pastorate.
Reminds me of summer youth group baptisms at the Assemblies of God church I went to. Lots of shirtless men touching, hugging, and dunking shirtless boys.
Religious Trauma Syndrome makes SO MUCH SENSE. The Hillsong documentary has cracked open the unspoken (or in some cases spoken and signed) code of silence many survivors of religious abuse live under. Survivors are starting to talk.
I love that survivors are speaking out. I read Dr. Marlene Winell's book, Leaving The Fold, and had so many realizations (she was the child of missionaries). RTS definitely needs to become recognized as an official and credible diagnosis.
@@BreeMorgan43 I have always just called it spiritual abuse, but its healable. I am a good example of this. I still love God and people, I don't always love what they do. I worry about people weaker and more isolated than I was. So I agree the word is getting out and that's a very good thing. People getting healed from trauma.
@@primesspct2 I'm going through this rn. My mother is a church leader and has been since I was about 5 or 6 yrs and she is also a narcissist. People at church think I'm shy but little do they know what I have been going through for years. The worst part is that they think she is a nice person and would most likely overlook the fact that I have getting abused all my life, but little do they know. I'm now 18+ and still living with my mother, unfortunately.
you can tell justin is just looking for a father figure and found that in the “pastor” i wouldn’t fault a Christian for drinking, partying, or making selfish mistakes, but he’s not just a Christian, he’s a church leader and he should be held to a higher standard.
Isn't that entire religion founded around faulting people for drinking, partying, and being selfish? Isn't literally the entire point to help the poor and sick, and not engage in greed, gluttony, and selfishness? Remind me when Jesus said it was okay to abandon the poor if it's a really good party?
Why? He is a Man. All Men are Sinners. That’s Why Christ Sacrificed his life for ALL of US. Sin is Sin. Who says one sin is worse than another because of Who they are? MAN DOES. NOT GOD.
No christains shudnt b drinking partying etc once u except Christ u are changing ur lifestyle and trying not to do the things of the world And yes he shud definately
Yeah, I'm sleeping with your husband but I didn't mean to offend or hurt you. Also, they said she wanted to break up multiple times and when it happened she was devastated....
@@douglosnyala8928 when The Lord Jesus Christ wants you out of there, with your free-will satan & his minions have no saying. But! The battle isn't over yet. The battles of obstacles to walk in righteousness with The Lord Jesus is one of the most toughest journey ever. I was in a cult for 4 years. Now i walk the toughest road with my Lord Jesus Christ for redemption.
Great video, such an important topic, church hustlers. I spent my late teens and early 20’s in a Pentecost church. The pastors wife and her crew of followers tried to break me. I’ve seen every deception and abuse play out. Though today I’m beyond grateful and blessed for the experience. Going to that church taught me about people and how they move. It prepared me for life. It didn’t shake my faith in God. Just church folks 🧐♥️
Thanks for writing about your experience; I sincerely hope you are well. I, too, learned the hard way that “church” people who hide behind the veil of religion can be some of the worst monsters that walk this earth. My faith in God still remains; my faith in church people, though? 😒 ugh.
Went to a private school growing up that was ran by the local Pentecostal church, and the hypocrisy and mental abuse i witnessed gave me a very different perspective on church people. Bc of these people I lost my faith in God for many years, but through some difficult circumstances I found my way back to God's LOVE. I'm very grateful that it all led to me being able to see through the phonies and hypocrites from a mile away now!
I think part of the worst thing about our ex pentecostal church was the 5 hour long services indoctrinating us. Plus don't forget our been forced to go on a trip once a year for some American scammer to take more money from us. We are not well off due to ill health but we felt we had no choice but to go and got into more debt each time plus having to tithe. Lastly the judgement of everyone in that place judging appearances and private lives about everyone there so you knew they were doing it about you. You attending and finding God wasn't enough you had to have nice clothes and expensive hats. Never again for us because my God didn't come for the rich he came for the poor and sinners. Put me off church forever. So whilst we don't have such massive churches they work together to get as much tax free money from us as they can get and don't care about us generally.
This really resonates with me in the same way. I was raised by a pentecostal preacher and that really teaches you how to see through people. I distanced myself from church culture while also keeping my faith in God. It's toxic
When someone says they didn't mean to hurt someone but slept with that person's husband and also said she didn't mind him being married is someone I couldn't even trust with a child.
when someone sleeps with somebody's husband that's called a hoe, she knew what she was doing and to say that she didn't mean to hurt the wife if she didn't mean to hurt the wife and she should have never slept with the wife's husband in the first place
@@ItsOKtobeNormal... and i agree but you are missing the point. many people are vulnerable and looking for a place to fit in. just like pedophiles, these preachers, priests...etc...(not all) choose to be where they can use religion to brainwash people...and groom them. don't blame the victim...they were looking for something bigger than themselves...they are not to blame!
This "woman" actually said that she got involved with a married man because she didn't "want to judge him". Then, she said that "people have forgotten the concept of religion". I'm convinced that people don't understand what "don't judge" means. Those 2 words are badly overused today. While we can't judge an individual, we have a direct mandate to judge the situation. If someone is married, you don't get involved. It's very simple.
@@lysandracaspez578 And, here's another thing that bothers me. You hear people say, "I don't go to church because they're judgmental." I have a problem with that and here's why. Yes, there are judgmental people in the church. There are also judgmental people in every day life. If you go to church just looking for judgmental people, you'll find them. But if you go truly seeking the Holy Spirit, you'll find Him. People see what they want to see. Besides, we're not there to worship the other people. There's one more thing that bothers me. I have never heard anyone who was doing right say, "Don't judge me." When people are doing right, they're not worried about it. Every time I have ever heard anyone say that, they were doing wrong. They knew in their heart that they were doing wrong and didn't want to be judged. I'm sick to death of the "don't judge me" thing. Personally, I won't judge them anyway. But, people use it as an excuse to do wrong and don't want anyone to say anything about it. It's just another one of Satan's tricks. He knows the Word of God better than we do.
@@MeCanik79 People see what they want to see... right, you hit it right on the nail but you don't apply it to yourself. Ive been involved in many open conversations about faith with very religious people and even the kindest of them end up judging others for their actions, thinking its oke to say you burn in hell forever and ever just because you didn't let Jesus take the wheel. What you want to see is a non judgmental group that love and supports others and so you block you the possibility that many people are just super judgy in nature, they think it's oke to think you burn forever and get blocked out of eternal bliss, just because you don't believe there is a big person in the sky behind the circle of life. If you say you don't believe in god people say people will tell you you're being rude but it's oke for religious people to tell everyone about their convictions, which are build upon a time we don't even live in, build on morals that are deeply flawed and build in a system where religion was used to control the mass, not to lift them up. Is interesting how that conversation always goes one way, even when you try to be open to it. The problem is that you need to KNOW that he is there as a true believer, which leaves out the possibility to accept that you might be wrong, which closes off the whole conversation/acceptance of others that don't. I've looked for faith, i really needed it and i tried, but in the end i could not find it and you should be oke with that and accept the chance that what you believe might not be true, we just don't know, there is just belief. If you can't accept that you instantly judge me as being wrong, which debunks your whole argument about being so accepting and non judgemental. It just doesn't add up man.
This documentary brought back my early years in the Pentecostal church, college and youth ministry. I get icky feelings now when I see any “Christian” anything anymore. I have a very deep faith, but no dogma or religious teachings in my spiritual walk. Just the spark of God I see in all living things.
This was me after seeing how the "church folk" behaved. Worse because it was against a person from the church. All she wanted to do was change churches for one closer to home and frankly more her vibe. They were vicious.
The goal of the adversary is to make us weary of the term "Christian". Any word that has Christ in it is power. I understand when "people" let us down, we get so turned off by "Christianity". We have to remember, that we don't allow people the represent the perfect Christ. We are all fallible. Let's base our faith in Christ, not in the people who falsely claim they represent him. His ways are higher than our ways, but the adversary comes to steal, kill and destroy.
Love the accuracy, and the "against mega churches", questioning our own beliefs about what media told us, but respectfully not shoving a certain information down our throats. Well done! Hope to see more.
this guy was such a charleton. I hope that if someone was looking for answers about faith that they found someone who was actually knowledgeable instead of this "prosperity gospel joel osteen" stuff people get drawn into.
I completely agree. I had never heard this guy speak until this video and just hearing his “RUclips interview” (I missed what minute mark that was at)- damn, I personally think he answered those particular questions really well so I get the appeal. I get why people were drawn to him and followed him. The fact he did the things he did, ugh, it sucks because whether we like it or agree with it or not, he was a representative and leader of a Christian church here in the US so his actions can and will be used against the Christian community. I don’t know much about Justin Bieber but from this video, I get the impression he was definitely looking for meaning, purpose, closeness with God and unfortunately, sought all this and was lead by the wrong person 🫤
@@okoala62 Lentz himself was "star struck" by Bieber and wanted to impress _him_ and "be cool" and sew his wild oats. Rather than _lead_ a young man desiring to increase his faith and fight the strong and heavy current of social pressure that he was struggling to keep afloat in (the world of celebrity) , Carl used Justin's fame and influence to fulfill his own sinful desires, which ultimately led to his own destruction.🥀
All priests, bishops whatever ARE ALL charletons. So nothing new. It's just funny, that u have entitled priests on tv and help them to get jets and millions (in america). Why are we all so dump and need a god or priests? And every religion what claimes "love", but excludes people bc of their skin, sex, whatever, would be a nogo in seconds.
It's no surprise that someone who is so utterly one dimensional and materialistic would be attracted to this phony prosperity gospel bullsh*t. It's all about money, power, and opportunism.
@@notthegoodgirl I still have my messages back and forth from 2017 with Carl calling him out on his behavior when he took Justin in. He was warned but he didn’t want to listen.
@@sakuraesther6309 That I don’t know for sure because i didn’t work under Carl. I was under Judah Smith “his best friend” But I would not be surprised. COVID-19 and the pandemic had absolutely nothing to do with Carl’s cheating ways and his immoral lifestyle. That’s what I do know. This doc does kinda make it seem covid was the reason he lost his way but it started long before that.
I was a member of Benny Hinn's church when he was in Orlando. I left the 'country club' church and never went back. Step down Carl. Go away into seclusion and really find God man. I pray for these people. Thank you God for showing me the Way.
i remember we went to this church for a while while trying out different ones in nyc…my mom always thought lentz was an asshole and i didn’t really see what she meant- but she was so right lmao
Sometimes moms know best. For me it was always difficult to admit it. Now as a mom myself, my own daughter feels the same. Lol. I am so happy you seem to have a good relationship with your mom and can admit she was right. ♥️
As a former “insider” of a mega-church myself, this Hillsong pastor is more the norm than the exception. The only difference is he got outed. That’s it. The staggering hypocrisy and secret double life of these “people of faith” would stun outsiders. Greed, sex, and outright lying is rampant in the evangelical world- especially among the household names and leaders. It’s a phenomenal business with a very slick product that has believers forking over their checkbooks at every opportunity. Look past the Hollywood stagecraft, private jets, designer suits, teams of image consultants, movie and music production, concerts, publishing arms, real estate holdings, political action groups and one sees a profit machine raking in billions TAX FREE. Plus immense political power and community influence all over the US and the world. They are only getting bigger, more powerful, and more influential with every passing day. The ONLY way to slow it down- but not stop it- is to take away the tax exempt status of all religious organizations, which will never happen in the US. I have no issue with a business making billions selling a product- but the tax exempt status allows unfair competition that other categories of business cannot claim. The loosely interpreted “prosperity gospel” has become a license to print money. Doubtful Jesus would approve since he clearly stated “easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man into heaven” or “give away all your possessions and follow me” or “blessed are the poor” and on and on…
The tax free is in almost every country and these pastors are profiting big time though in my country it's the prophetic pastors that are benefiting the most. We used to joke with my best friend that if we were not utterly scared of God's wrath then we would also start our own church and become rich.
I can't stand prosperity doctrine. I've often said that if Jesus were to return today, he'd march straight up to Hillsong - not to praise, but to rebuke. I happened to be close to the faculty of the Bible College I attended during the rise of Hillsong. They were amazed at it's success, but sceptical of how they attained that success. No one quite knew how to rein them in.
I just think it's funny because ever sense I left the church and started working on myself I've noticed I'm doing better...leaving the church was just the start. I'm not even addicted to things anymore and am busy.
Is there a single mega-church that is not led by a massive a$$hole? How people can fall for that is beyond me. These people are not rich because God blessed them but because you gave them all your money. It's a crime that laws have not been adjusted and they don't have to pay taxes.
Most of the people who fall for it are people who have low self-esteem issues and desire to belong. These churches are cult like and prey on this. Many desire to part of the inner circle so will do anything not to be rejected and that's how they get used, discarded and hurt.
My parents are (still) both pastors and they are worse sinners than the people in their churches. My father multiple wives, affairs and kids all over the place. My mother is a covert alcoholic and likes to drive out of town on Friday nights to get her freak on in nightclubs with very young men. We’re talking 18-20 year olds. She’s in her 60s. Both are divorced (from each other and others) and are current pastors of different churches. Their churches are aware of what they are like and cover it all up. My father got caught touching womens bodies inappropriately in the prayer line. He still preaches. My mother had a full mental breakdown and left the country for a month ditching her car at the airport then writing everyone suicidal letters. Came back acted like nothing happened her church covered it all up. I do not go to church and I don’t think i ever will again, you cannot trust these people. It’s all about the Benjamin’s. They make me sick
All are not as your parents. There are good Christian people out there. First, your mother was never to be a pastor, that goes against the Bible. Your concern is YOUR SALVATION. You are responsible for you only. Mom and Dad showed what they are. Don't be like them
@@littleflower3665this is a misdirection tactic that the church builds in to keep the grift going….ahh so your church is bad? Just stop going and talk to Jesus in your head…Most people don’t like being isolated and if they don’t place themselves in front of other Christians and their propaganda they lose their faith. So they go back to the church again and again and talk to other Christians about their personal relationship with Jesus. Then they give away their money, their bodies, and all of their power.
Just to add on that, BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT GOD HATES ALL ARTIFICAL CONSTRACEPTIVES LIKE PILLS, CONDOMS ETC. Not only is it sinful for people to use artificial contraceptives, Jesus Christ (through revelation and visions) says some of them cause ABORTION , EVEN CARDIAC ARREST/FAINTING/HEART PROBLEMS IN WOMEN. Many of the diseases of the womb, birth canal, like cancer, fibrosis, stomach cancer, etc that women suffer today, its because of the ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTIVES AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD (esp fast foods) that people ingest. Some dead Christian are in hell ....died of cardiac arrest because of these artificial contraceptives. Most of them cause alot of complications (like diseases) and abortion in women unknown to them. SOLUTION 1) Use prayer ,,,,asking God to close the womb if you dont want more children. God is the one who used to open and close the womb of Rachael, Hannah, Elizabeth , Rebecca, Sarah. God still does that today. Artificial contraceptives including condoms, vasectomy, ligation, are all sinful. God hates them. Some dead Christians are in hell fire because of these artificial contraceptives. Avoid them at all cost. 2) If you have less faith (which is not good), then use the Rhythm method. Let the woman observe her monthly flow...mark the days on the calendar and avoid meeting those times she is likely to get pregnant. It is a natural method and God accepts it. NOTE: DO NOT USE THE WITHDRAWAL METHOD LIKE ONAN IN THE BIBLE. GOD HATES THAT. Withdrawal method is similar to masturbation. God these things. MORE THINGS TO AVOID ALSO (For the married...for the single stay away from fornication and cohabitation) 1) Avoid oral sex, ungodly sex styles like doggie, woman on top of a man, etc. Only the missionary style (a man on top of a woman is accepted before God) 2) Avoid the use of sex toys or objects in your marriage bed. 3) Avoid sexy clothes like thongs, lingerie's, bikinis, batman suit, spiderman suit, catwoman suit which arouse lust.

This mistress REAAALLY needs to seem special and interesting. "he was escaping his boring life" meaning she blamed his wife for the affair. She didn't contact the media because she felt bad, she wanted attention and to humiliate his wife, somehow claim victory over her in a way. It's sad when women have so little substance and such low self-esteem that they base their worth on a man's appreciation of her body and whether he would drop his wife for her. Truly sad and pathetic. I feel for his wife, it is humiliating to be cheated on with someone like this, but as a consolation her husband is even worse so good riddance ig
He exploited her Faith. HE was married. She's clearly a lost soul and he took advantage of that. She made bo promises to his wife but he did. He's the scumbag who is pathetic and sad. I'm not saying she has no blame but he's a predator and she was lost
I hoped I wasn’t the only one to think that, it’s bad enough to be cheated on until the mistress goes on national tv rubbing it in about his boring life and he loved her, disgusting
I’m a Christian who hasn’t been to church in years. Situations like this makes me sad as this is such a distortion of what the church should be. As someone who was burned by the church, I hope this community can grow and learn from things like this….
A big church in my area had a similar situation pastor went to "Evangelize" in Indonesia (the cool surfer pastor surfed there) He had an affair with a younger woman got caught and fired. My neighbor of 20 years .. a true Christian in every sense of the word quit organized religion because of this. This was a person whose career was volunteering at food banks. Sad. At that time I felt agnostic my circumstances have changed my opinion. But after 20 years of living within earshot and seeing them daily you get to know them. Stand up awesome people real Christians even I felt it
If u can't find a good church and satan uses it to burn u and cause u to forsake God's good standards(satan uses ppl who give him a foothold so that ppl find a reason to forsake fellowship altogether), it just may be God calling u to start your own fellowship group. U don't need to be a pastor to get ppl together to pray etc. Look up how the old, true church worked.
you don't need to be physically in church because the real Church is Spiritual, it's Jesus church.. remember where there is people there will be scandal... Because people are not God.. they are just humans.. what i want to say is that Jesus Church is the people He chose... Many people can go to church and call themselves christian... but they are not really.. because A real christian is not someone who would live in debauchery... but The holy Spirit will change a person and make him HIS person... so even thought you are not in church.. you can still be In Jesus Church as spiritually you are in it because the Holy Spirit changed you and you are in it
Carl got a whiff of easy money, designer clothes, adoring fans and fame . He’s just a Grifter For God, big business . If Carl had not gotten into the grift, he would be selling cars at a used car lot in Virginia. He has the gift of gab like the other Mega Church grifters. Great video , hopefully people will not fund these grifters anymore
I wonder, how did she not realize this whole thing was a scam? I'm not saying she deserves to be heartbroken. However, I find it hard to believe she didn't know what his agenda entailed.
I feel slightly bad for her, bc she didn’t deserve that treatment from her husband. But, at the same time, I don’t feel bad for her….she was right there, front and center, enjoying the spotlight and fame and attention, buying Gucci and mansions and flashy cars off the backs of all the people who attend their “church”, whether rich celebrity or just one of the nameless, faceless people who have been convinced that they can buy their way into heaven for 10% of their money. That wasn’t enough for them though, so instead of hiring assistants, drivers etc, they used people in their church as if they were indentured servants, and apparently treated them like crap, while not paying them for services rendered. How did they do that? By abusing their position of power, by acting like they were “god’s” special messengers, by pretending to be morally superior and by believing they shouldn’t have to go and earn money at an actual job bc that is below them. They BOTH got caught up in greed and the “celebrity lifestyle” to the point they felt entitled and special. At the first signs of infidelity, she could have left him, but that would expose his lies and put their lavish lifestyle at risk. I’m sure he lied to her, but she lied to herself too, not wanting her house of cards to fall down around her. She wasn’t fired bc her husband cheated on her, they didn’t kick an innocent woman while she was down. They both got fired as a result of being greedy liars. Then they got rewarded with severance packages and a free mansion for half a year, paid for by Tyler perry! I’m sure they will continue the grift for years to come. No, if I feel sorry for anybody, I feel bad for their kids, seeing their hypocritical dad cheat on their mom, while preaching purity at everyone, and showing their kids they don’t have to earn a living, just steal/tithe from lots of other people with jobs. They will be lucky if they don’t turn into spoiled, entitled adults like their parents.
I actually feel sorry for Justin. If you are a child, surrounded by yes people and access to 100M dollars before your pre-frontal cortex is fully developed it would be pretty hard to stay grounded in any way, shape or form. And Carl took advantage of him just like everyone else he is surrounded by.
Justin made the same dumb mistakes of youth many of us did at that age. We just weren't in the public eye. I'm not really a fan of his music, but I'm glad he seems to be moving in a positive direction now.
Yeah.. luckily Bieber learned quickly. Probably because He’s a lot smarter than your avg popstar. I was never a big fan of his teenage era music , but I knew dude was smart & more than just a boyband style singer when he solved a Rubik’s cube in just min or 2 on James corden live. Unfortunately most child super stars like Micheal Jackson get screwed for their entire lives. And the root cause of all their problematic behaviors (later in life) goes back to traumatic events in their childhood. Traumas they wouldn’t have gone through if they weren’t such superstars.

@@TheRealEvvonne It isn't supposed to be. Many are run like a business, but that just means they don't meet the biblical definition of a church. The "church" in the Bible is the group of believers who follow Jesus Christ by doing what He told us to do and doing what He did (as such, the real "church" has already paid taxes because each individual member of the true "church" paid taxes before ever giving their money to the general fund which is supposed to support EACH MEMBER of the church, NOT a singular pastor or paid "staff", and especially not for one or a few people to get rich while everyone else pays for it).
The Pastor is the CEO. That's how every church is setup. That's how its supposed to be. He's the CEO because he makes executive decisions. That's all a CEO is: the Chief Executive Officer.
Surprisingly as someone who’s been a part of a church like this. It’s kind of typical. You don’t tend to see on the news unless it’s a big tv church. So this stuff goes uncovered.
I think more people are Celebrities nowadays on their faith. Christmas eve service and Easter service to Celebrate the birth and death of Jesus. Hope our current generation wakes up and do it right, so we can have a faithful upcoming generation. May God bless you all.
Did you ever think you'd become such a great documentarist? Your videos are so well produced; you've got a natural talent end eye for making these kinds of videos.
@Christopher Sadlowski thank you so much. And no, I didn't! Due to being raised in fundamentalism, I wasn't allowed to watch any TV/cable whatsoever (we were only allowed to watch movies), so making documentaries never crossed my mind. 😂 I probably didn't watch my first documentary until I was in my 20's (unless one was shown at school or somewhere similar).
I grew up in a family full of preachers and in all this time, it's the same EXACT story, every time. The church is good with allowing them to go unchecked until it hits the news and when it threatens their $$$, THEN it's a problem.
I left "church" for good...went to different churches and offered my services as a therapist, and they preferred to have unqualified people as counselors...I didn't want to lead; I simply offered my services for free...i was never a brown noser and i spoke my mind (with respect) when I disagreed ...I am realizing now that perhaps I didn't fit in because I was not sheep enough
@@MM-km5zf they won't have their narratives challenged by ANYONE. I was told as a child who had questions, that I was willful, disobedient and possessed by demons. If it makes sense, shun it. If it keeps you blind and ignorant, embrace it. That was the motto of a few Pentecostal churches and pastors.
@@bethroesch2156 I was raised a Catholic and I was not allowed to ask any questions. I remember thinking, this all sounds ridiculous. But until you grow up and get out of there, you have no choice.
I used to frequent Hillsong in Sydney 17 years ago. A friend of mine passed away suddenly, and my friend suggested I see a counsellor from the church. I did, but I ended up making me feel worse. She was trying to investigate if things were happening in the church as she saw people speaking in tongues sometimes and wanted me to find out things. It really messed me up because I was grieving. Many people who I thought were my friends weren't they were only interested if you kept going there. They were always 'high from the spirit of god', so that clip of JB, etc. They could have been sober because people often acted that way. 💕
I attended it too for years. I was blessed to meet someone who challenged me on their preaching and the church in general. I noticed all the red flags and left. Whilst there I made heaps of “friends” and now there’s only 1 that still goes there that I kinda still talk too. The rest brushed me off.
JB ain't sober there the whole 3 of them at hillsin conference were on something else than being high in the holy spirit it's called Satan's pull these aren't Christians these are false prophets doing the devil's work
Carl Lentz and I actually went to the same high school. In fact, we were in the same graduating class. He was a jock back then. If you were to tell me that he'd end up like this, I would have laughed in your face.
I graduated with you both, Greg (although I don't remember you, I'm sorry!) and I had the complete opposite reaction...I wasn't surprised at all when we first are started hearing rumblings of problematic behavior years ago.
@@josephanglada4785 what life? Scamming people of money, pressuring them into doing things not best for them, misusing vulnerable famous, lieing, cheating....list goes on... if thats what you call life, flying private planes with popstars drinking and abusing all sorts of drugs...good luck
OMG I just to Catholic Church every Sunday Listen to the Father speak I feel blessed Don’t need any those flashy church All those Pastors are corrupt in my mind
@@pattytoscano9569 My apologies that my swearing offended you. I agree that spirituality can be a very important aspect of a person's life, and I'm actually a very spiritual person myself. My comment was directly referring to my knee-jerk reaction of the joke told about "church-stalking," rather than a critique of the whole movement. It made me extremely uncomfortable to think that anyone anywhere would use behaviors like that in Church to try to get closer to a person they wanted to be in a relationship with. I personally would be very uncomfortable if someone came up to me unprompted and did something like that, knowing that they may have been "church stalking" me. I hope that helps to explain.
I remember in HS, the girls were basically TOLD to bring guys they might want to date into the community. As an atheist I did the grand tour of youth groups, lol
Totally. I love that she doesn't churn them out multiple times a week like some other channels. You can tell she puts a ton of effort into giving us these masterpieces :D
Carl is a classic con man. Unfortunately there are so many of them exploiting ignorant people. It amazes me how many keep following these criminals and lose everything to them.
The con artist 'honeypot' woman prostituted herself no doubt she was paid by the Luciferian Satanic system illuminati to take down Christian leadership, she ain't so innocent she is complicit as a snake.

I played drums at the main campus of city church (Churchome) which is Judah smiths church. I played there for 2 years, and I would play usually twice a month, sometimes more. Even though I was at the same campus and building as Judah, I never once met him. He was always in a locked room only a couple people were allowed in. He was untouchable, This was always weird to me..
all judah does is talk about himself. he is so annoying 40 mins of his personal life, 5 mins of scripture, and 15 minutes of annoying selfcentered prayer
Oxymoronic: you can't 'pastor' behind a locked door. Mega is nuts-o it seems. Is there any mega church that is true for Christ and righteousness in their words and deeds?
That is a false religious leader. We are called to be meek, humble, without pride, self sacrificing and repentant of sin and obedient to His word. How many pastors are currently doing this?🤔
This is truly heartbreaking. To use the word of God as a weapon to victimize people in the pursuit of monetary gain is a horrendous and disgusting act. People who are hurting and searching for the truth. All will be held accountable.
This was well produced. I appreciate that you didn’t bash Christianity but the people that use it to prey and prophet off the spirituality vulnerable. ❤️
So true. So many times when people report on the corruption of the leadership, their congregation is mocked for following them. But similar documentaries reporting on corrupt politicians and CEOs offer compassion for their wronged employees and investors. I’m so glad this channel places the blame only where it rightfully lies and doesn’t take cheap shots against believers.
The fact the woman chose to have an affair with a married man (which she found out before they slept together), tells volumes about her. And THAT was Carl’s type of a perfect woman?! 🤢 Those two would really deserve each other if he wasn’t married already.
Agree! Her “blank canvas” quote was obnoxious and speaks of a woman with a lot of growing up to come. I wonder if her future spouse will be a “blank canvas”?
She definitely has a lot of healing to find. I think she probably felt special that a pastor would risk it all for her but he used her as a slumming prop👀
Justin B was definitely spiritually manipulated and spiritually abused by Carl. He was in a vulnerable time in his life turning 18 and thinking he was invincible with all that money and Carl swooped in to take advantage. Justin is obviously no saint and has done some horrible things but he didn’t deserve that.
Hi. Manipulated? Yea, manipulating themselves and others by believing in miracles as literal from those old stories of mythology. And things like gods, devils, demons, angels and heaven and hell. And yes, on the same team....... Team Taking It Literally!
Carl and his buddies were described in 2nd Timothy 3:2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
This was a documentary well done. I am a Christian and you done an excellent job narrating and are on point. I feel so bad for Justin Beiber. I pray he does find peace and true salvation.
He literally lost his job and his livelihood. Like what do you want more? Adultery is not illegal (anymore) and if his wife forgave him and stuck by him so can you.
Religion is a nother control system like so many others that we are now finding out about humanity is getting there eyes opened the hard way so much dark things that have been going in all systems will be exposed if we don’t wake up and call them out and expose wheat they are doing we could all loos our freedom and many life’s like from the needles Humanity was coned into taking and Millions have died May our creator Divine help us all
Girl. I am just halfway through and I have got to say, the short step back you did, did you good! So professional and clean. Like this information filled all the gaps the documentary left out. Super proud of you and the growth your channel.
Wow, Josie. GREAT job. This had so much information that the Hillsong documentary didn't have! And I love your little quips. This was great, thank you for all the hard work!
The reason Carl doesnt want his housekeepers looking in him the eye or talking to him is because that's how literal slaveholders acted. In their heart they know it's wrong and so are affronted by the prospect of acknowledging/being acknowledged by their captives. Only difference is for this scenario consent is implied.
That is an interesting take. I noticed the same pattern in a lot of celebrities (ellen degeneres, colleen ballinger, etc). I always wondered why the avoided eye contact
Wow how does this not have millions of views. The editing and the way you weave the story had me glued from start to finish. Now I'm gonna have to go back and see what else you have done. Well done
People should look into Passion City Church in Atlanta, Ga. They follow the Hillsong play book. The Pastor even has his own record label. They also have one of their locations at Trilith Studios. Trilith is the second largest movie studio in the United States and owned by the Family that started Chick-fil-A. The United States Soccer Association just moved their headquarters here as well. Just for young people they have these Passion Conferences that cost hundreds of dollars a ticket and there is a age limit. Most churches are just a money making business now days. They have their coffee shops and book shops right in the churches. Heck even Donald Trump is selling his own Bibles now.
Yours is the best doco channel I’ve seen on RUclips, no cheesy edits, no bullshit, no random guy on camera. You let the info speak for itself and show us the clips. Thank you.
And the great irony of it all is, Lentz was “teaching” his flock about how to live a pure life and stay sex-free until marriage. It’s sad to see anyone that proclaims the name of Jesus to fail like this; it ruins his witness and credibility (Jimmy Swaggart comes to mind). And sure, you can be forgiven for your misdeeds, but it’s hard to win back the trust that human beings placed on you. it also shows that we are to worship the Creator and not the creation, as so many did in regards to Carl Lentz.
Yeah, he was the one televangelist I could tolerate as a kid waiting for the cartoons and kid shows to come on. However when the prostitution scandal broke in 1988 when I was 9, it was on the news radio in the car on the way to school. I remember being shocked, he seemed so sincere and into Jesus. Since that day I trust none of those priest or preacher types.
As an individual who comes from a very conservative background and Southern Baptist Christian college, I cannot express how much vindication I feel about Hillsong leadership imploding after how often they were used as a tool of manipulation towards me in the past. Thank you for all your work you put into this video as well as pointing me towards Dr. Marlene Winell and her idea of Religious Trauma Syndrome because it's been a label I've been trying to figure out for years now
It used to be just called ritual abuse. But people are afraid to use those two words anymore. But it's all the same. Cult abuse. Ritual abuse. Doesn't have to be satanic except in my mind, if you are threatened to give your money to a Christian church to keep you from "Satan," it's IS satanic fear and satanic abuse. When seeming to be on opposite ends of the line, when the line is circled up, they are side by side. Christian abuse can look satanic very very simply. I have my own story to tell. Megalo anything esp church, dangerous stuff. And it's all in the open and normalized now. Scientology. Megachurches. Gizillionaires taking food off of the tables of poor people without shame as they buy their fifth private plane, home and island. They don't care who or what is sacrificed for their ego. Dangerous stuff. Jim Jones. Cults are a slippery slope. And right now in the USA, they are no longer hidden. They are normalized. Sad. And many destroyed lives. Even those who showed up on Jan 6th to do the bidding of a person that has enjoyed being called god. Did you know txxxx's father's middle name was "Christ?" Imagine growing up with that dad. Explains txxxx a lot.

How very true are the words of King Jesus when He said, "Narrow is the gate that leads to Heaven..." In our generation, there are so many Matthew 7:21 Christians! HAVE MERCY ON US, KING JESUS.
When a church does not preach on repentance, salvation, heaven or hell, then that church is in trouble. Greed and pride is the downfall of men and with it comes money, women, etc etc. May God have mercy and may each individual repent before it is too late. GOD is always waiting for HIS lost sheep. God bless.
Not just the downfall of man, the downfall of Satan himself who was in heaven WITH God, before getting thrown out. No wonder he uses pride and greed to turn people from God.
This is when you MUST go into serious prayer when you see crowds and fame in your church. You never know how far and deep one can fall. “All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God….” The devil is not playing remember he is right here with us “That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. Keep a cool head. Stay alert.”

It's ok Josie !!! We all know that you're busy and that you want to have a 100% in depth quality video for us !!! Yayyyyy !!!!! Hi Josie !!!! I've been patiently waiting for this Amazing and very Informative video !!! You're my favorite channel !!!! This is the only channel that I actually look forward to and watch in its entirety from beginning to end !!! Thank You !!!! Josie !!!! On the what you should cover next bit, hunh ?? I'm going to say Debt or Student loan debt.... people are committing suicide because they don't see a way out of their debt..... and our culture and society is all about buy, buy, buy and it's soo easy to get into debt these days..... much love Josie !!!
God bless you and your loved ones. Thank you for this video, keep up exposing charlatans.
Kris Jenner's lie and cheat scandals to fame and her church she created
This was such a good and thorough video!! I would love if you could cover Joel Osteen as I haven’t seen any comprehensive breakdowns of his past and shady business. Thanks for all your hard work!
Ive been wanting a vid from you!!! Yaaaa, it's always worth the wait. I'd rather have long form content and wait longer anyways! Especially with your quality and editing!!!!!
When a church has a VIP section, run! Biggest red flag there can ever be to let you know things are not right.
100% correct.
RIGHT? I was like...did they read all those parts of the Bible where it talks about false prophets and use that as a MANUAL???
Exactly!
@@audsdacity Right! Did Jesus have a VIP when he preached? Smh
@@iambella081 I'm pretty sure he FAMOUSLY CONDEMNED that kind of favoritism and spent most of his time with the poor, the sex workers, and the lepers..... Like Jesus himself is absolutely punk rock. The idea of loving so hard that you go out of your way to love absolutely everybody regardless of status-- even deliberately loving those that society tells you to ignore-- doing all that so hard that it pisses people off. That's life changing love. It makes me so wildly angry to see the way churches and scam artists have twisted the message to be literally the opposite.
These pastors missed the part where Jesus flipped the tables in the Temple
These pastors don’t even read their Bibles 🙄
The Bible is responsible for all this crap.
Every day some sad nutter texts quotes from its most inane sections.
It's just an old book about a tribe who think they are god's chosen.
Talk about exclusivity.
If they read the Bible, they wouldn't even wanna be pastors or what it takes to speak and preach the word of God! The most terrifying thing because you'll have to give answers on judgement day!
That's not all they're missing.
The money changers like in LDS temples
One of the best documentaries I’ve watched anywhere! Back in 2008, I remarried and was introduced to a Pentecostal church who was all about Hillsong music. I noticed some strange things, but just figured I didn’t grow up Pentecostal, I grew up non denominational. 3 years into my marriage, I got breast cancer and had to have a double mastectomy. Right after I lost my breasts, my husband filled for divorce. Turns out, he had been cheating with another church member. I was in a bad place health wise. Once he left, the church left me too. It gave me church PTSD. I just worship Jesus on my own. I’m still single. I’m healthy now, reconstructed and my heart finally healed.
I'm sorry for what you went through and I'm glad that you have healed.
I am so sorry.
Heidi what happened to you was disgusting. I can believe that the church left you along with your husband because it happened to my family member as well. Im glad that you have healed and your heart had healed. Your personal relationship with God is your strength, hang in there and stay encouraged. Your testimony will many women that have suffered from the same experiences. Sending you well wishes and blessings. Hang in there and stay encouraged sister.
@@TeeMarie36 Thank you 🙏
@@romulus3345 Thank you 😊
Any Church Leader that lives a lavish lifestyle at the expense of their parishioners with so much need of the poor and struggling in the World has falsely represented God's Word. Sad
As someone who grew up just down the road from Liberty University, seeing a megachurch pastor with tattoos, a leather jacket, and a slicked back mohawk is strange (not bad, just strange) but there’s one thing that all these mega church pastors have in common: the reason it’s a mega church is the money and privilege, not Jesus.
You just described the son of Jim and Tammy Bakker of PTL infamy. He is a pastor and looks just like you described.
He looks soo douchey.
*not GOD
Seriously, they look more rockstar than Beiber!
Not every large church, corrupt ones.
These are prime examples of the false prophets Jesus warned of.... very well done documentary!
Amen
Amen!! I wouldn’t want to be him when being judged by God.
danikeir so true👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You need to be, obviously, in a close relationship with God to be in a Christian leadership position. This will allow you to remain humble. Without humility you're bound to fail.
I think these people probably started off with good intentions, but the more their church grew, the more it became about just becoming bigger.
The pride and ego comes in, they take their eyes off God, it becomes all about them, even deluding themselves that they're doing great things for God - while not seeing how far away they've strayed from anything that even resembles true Christianity .
All prophets are false, all profits are real
Aww this is gut wrenching. I was cheated on by a pastor’s kid. Just because someone says they’re a Christian doesn’t mean they’re faithful.
Or honest.
But lets be honest, every christian lacks :p thats what our whole fight is about: do u fight the lacks and better yourself or do u bow to the flesh? The fight is daily
The lord is watching and knows everyone, we must trust and rely on the lord not what others do or say cause it all should matter what the lord says and does.
Amen!
EXACTLY.

In 2001 I had an invitation to go to Hillsong’s school, right out of high school. A couple wanted to “bless me” and pay my way. I knew nothing about the church; they weren’t internationally known at that time I don’t think. I was so close to accepting but I never did. For over a decade I looked back on that as a missed opportunity as I watch that church grow. But as I matured in my faith I understood the pitfalls of a large church. I look back on that and thank God I didn’t accept the offer. My life would probably look a lot different and probably not for the best. What a trip to think back on that.
As a Christian woman for over 40 years, please stay away from mega churches.
Money talk there
They aren't Christians...they are just about money...surely the opposite of what Christianity should be
Smaller churches are no better!
@@jbates725 real churches are better whether they are big or small, when I say real I mean where people who say they are Christians have love and compassion for their fellow humans, where they actually help others and live the creed they preach at others, where money is not their goal but real caring
😂😅 absolutely right
As the son of a pastor where I played the drums in the worship band, I'll just say I've got some stories. You give people even an inkling of power, it's amazing what the end up doing.
What is the worst story? Im curious!
@@Tyler-vw9bh, I would say the people at the top skimming money from people's tithes, and the many affairs going on amongst members of the church. Not to make any assumptions, I kept being invited to the house by the wife of a deacon who was away on active duty with the air force, who would send me questionable text complimenting me on my looks. I was young, very religious and totally unaware at the time of everything going on. I'm not a follower of any faith now.
@@vitast2000 As someone who did 4 years in the Marine Corps, I can say your assumption is probably safe. 90% of my married friends got cheated on. Thanks for sharing the story, I grew up in church but stopped going once I moved out (always been skeptical of org religion). That said, I was not a full blown atheist just really didn't think about it. I am 30 now and just started going to church a couple weeks ago and now try to be a man of faith. That said, I still recognize everyone in that service from the guy preaching to myself is a human and thus flawed. Stories like yours still make me sad though because even though I do a lot of regrettable things, I am happy to say I don't steal/hurt/cheat on others.
In a way I would like serving a position in a church, but not any of these heretical mega churches. And certainly not as a pastor. God gave me the gift of teaching. But since I never went to Bible school, I use my gift in helping people to stop trusting in the man-made doctrines and traditions of men, and using the scriptures alone. However, I know that I am more accountable to God in what I teach as opposed to just some dude attending church services. The more a person knows, the more accountable they will be on the Day of Judgement when God will judge every believer for what they did on earth as well as how they made use of the talents (spiritual gifts) that they were given.
bro write a book under a pseudonym👍
I think there is something very wrong when one asks for money to baptize… baptizing shouldn’t cost a penny. That’s a bad sign.
💯
Exactly
Run to Jesus!
Trust in Him alone!

If you have defected from God then read these Scriptures: (Lost Sheep, Luke 15:1-7 - Lost Coin, 15:8-10 - Lost Son, 15:11-32 - Rich Man and Lazarus, 16:19-31) Jesus is calling you back home, read His word, believe and repent. Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!
+
The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord!
If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now!
These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the catching up / the blessed hope, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!...
It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens.

May the Lord encourage you to seek the truth, in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.
Catholic church charges for baptism and yet no one questions about it
@@SandraBrasilyou can see what the Catholic Church does for the world tho, these guys are blowing all the money on 4 wheelers and jets and gucci. Catholic Church has hospitals universities they do tons of stuff for people globally
A church with a VIP section should be avoided at all costs

“God is not a respecter of persons so should we not be “ quoting scripture …
Pretty much all churches should be avoided at all cost

Sorry you have to witness this circus act.
This is NOT christianity
Your right its scamdaliz 100% all faith chasing money.
This is not christian it’s false
Jesus still loves you
I pray our God almighty will show you the real way. This is just people who sadly get lost while trying to serve God because they don't place their eyes on him. May our Lord Jesus speak to your life directly so you can follow him and no one else. God bless your life!
Following the word of God is not the problem it’s following people who misuse the word that’s the problem.
Excellent video…
Like promoting homosexualilty.... that's a blasphemous level of abusing Christ's words of "love each other".
I wonder if Hell has a population limit because it's been never had a bigger waiting list.
If you were to literally follow the word of God, it would be entirely permissible for you to rape a woman that you've enslaved during war, to force her to be your wife. You know, as long as you let her mourn her family (that you murdered) for like a month before you do it, since God is totally compassionate and knows that she needs that. Oh, is that word of God not the word of God you were talking about?
@@johncunningham1889 you obviously don’t know anything about the word of God/distortion of the word is not going to save you you make these claims where is the proof to anything you say show scripture or don’t reply cause you just sound ignorant to the truth
Great statement
@@drzaius8430I’m fairly certain God wants all of us with him in heaven since we’re his children, and has endless mercy for us, as shown through Jesus’s crucifixion. Personally I don’t think there’s a waiting list for hell.
I'm Australian where Hillsong originated from. This is NOT a church, it's a cult. The difference to this so-called church is the people who attend go there for blessings. A true Christian must not seek blessings they must be the blessing. How? By feeding the hungry, cloth the naked, give shelter to those in need and generally helping those who need help, this is Gods will.
Also a Christian must understand what 'Church' means. Church isn't a building or a religion, it means "all those who believe and have Faith in Jesus the Christ". You can offer nothing to God but filthy rags, you can only please God through Faith and do what he says, be the blessing expecting nothing in return, it's a real honour to carry out Gods will, the fact that you are doing his word, you are the blessing. Amen😁
Amen to that.
A true Christian, is also a true idiot.....
Theism is humanities greatest failure.
Those dark age peasants who were meant to be convinced by the madness of the bible, can be forgiven for believing the madness of theism as they couldn't be educated.
The elite and the churches ensured that, thinking that educated people would find the madness of theism as just that.
Again, those dark age peasants can be forgiven for believing the madness of theism.
Modern day educated people have no such excuse....
AMEN 🙏🏾👑✝️

@@trashmesoftsoft From the way you asked...
You may need mental help
Prayer
& a serious state of mind
When a church doesn’t teach the Bible chapter by chapter verse by verse watch out! When a teacher doesn’t show you good tools so you can eventually teach yourself . It was long time coming for myself finding a true scholar. God bless
This is so sad. Unfortunately stuff like this ruins people's faith. "When a person plays Beethoven poorly, you don't blame Beethoven. Likewise, when a person plays Christ poorly, you don't blame Christ" - Frank Turek.
This isn’t sad it’s evil at work this was an agenda from the start to let this effect or shake your faith these people are actors and Bieber is homosexual being passed around like a whore pray for him they raped his mind as a child so he is seriously wounded
Deep
Except it's more like Nickleback. Sometimes it's a foundation of sand.
It matters because of who they attract. Now you've got a roomful of people acting like that and you're sitting in the middle. Will never go back.
Im guessing there was some dark stuff going on behind those closed doors. Hollywood tends to rape people and spit them out. Good thing Christ was perfect for us because everyone falls way short.
The irony of an adam and eve sponsor on a video about a pastor. I absolutely love it
A pastor who dresses and behaves like a rockstar was cheating on his wife ? Shocking! I just feel sorry for the people in his congregation who he manipulated in believing his BS!
i know right.
But how can people believe this is Christianity in the first place...I just don't understand
@@ahar7624 my thoughts exactly 🤔
@@ahar7624 Most of this people are lost .. They actually need and want direction .They have no religious background and even if they do,they need someone to direct them . But they have found themselves in the wrong place . I grew up a Christian but didn't know anything about Christ .. neither was I Christ like. But His Grace found me and I knew something was missing. That was when I pressed into seeking Him and I am still on the journey. I don't think it ever ends. I belive we all should put all our hope in God and not men . Don't expect too much from anyone who isn't Christ like. And even those who are Christ like , because they are humans , might not tick all your good behaviour boxes every time .
The congregation was the arrogant finding what they were looking for.
This literally just breaks my heart :(
Imagine? there's a lot of people out there who's seeking for Jesus, then there's also these false prophets who chose to mislead broken people..
You do not need a church to find Jesus. You can find him at home for free. People that need church are seeking something else.
Yes! This pastor was targeting celebrities bc he sees them as unfulfilled and VULNERABLE.
Justin Bieber was taken advantage by many people in his late teens. I've always felt like there was a ridiculous amount of pressure and press on him and his mistakes. I feel similarly about people like Amanda Bynes, Aaron Carter, MacCauley Caulkin, Britney Spears. Some of them turn out okay in the end (I think Justin did tbh) but some of them are fucked forever and beyond hope at this point like Aaron Carter. Child exploitation and manipulation is so normalized in Hollywood.

No, Hollywood has absolutely nothing to do with it, it's a much more insidious draw through the needle, called fame. People today equate fame with recognition, when in fact they're exactly the opposite, one should know the difference, or they might be trapped thinking that going "viral" is something good.
NO ONE IS PAST HELP.
ASK GOD !
I call the mistress' statement BS. He is completely at fault, but she isn't innocent either. She knew he was married. She should have pushed him away harder.
Right? Especially the part where she expressed that she didn't want his wife to be hurt.
If you don't want her to be hurt don't sleep with her husband?
I was literally rolling my eyes at some of her words lol. I agree she made a bad choice and isn't completely blameless, but I hate that she got so much abuse from congregants and such when HE'S the one with the wife and the problem and the secrecy and the leadership role. She just happened to be attracted to the wrong rich guy. It's all garbage all the way down but I just hate it when the "other woman" gets all the abuse. Like his wife punching the nanny? Tf? Punch your shitty husband!
She seems very immature, self absorbed, selfish and without self reflection. He is a scumbag but she is not better. And sorry Missy, but you ARE a MISTRESS and nothing mysterious about you - you just like attention
She likely never heard of Christianity,,,,,,,is a woman of darkness,,,,,,no moral values,no integrity and Satan used her to prey on Carl Lentz. He couldn’t handle all the money and attention and fame. Just because a man has the gift of the gab and plays cool does NOT qualify him for the pastorate.
She didn't make any wedding vows him and his wife did
I can't get passed the photo of Justin who is fully clothed and the PASTOR whose shorts are falling off. Seriously?? Thanks for the thoughtful video.
lol So icky.
Reminds me of summer youth group baptisms at the Assemblies of God church I went to.
Lots of shirtless men touching, hugging, and dunking shirtless boys.
Joe Rogan called it a "Di×k root" lmao How does a man of God expose his dik root😫
Yeah yikes, that narcissist is probably thinking how hot he must look, he's walking with celebrities, now everyone must see him 🤮
Yeah my gaydar was on full alert with that one (it was the thumbnail)
she had me at "somehow people were attracted to this" in the snippet of Brian singing in the 80s 🤣🤣🤣
I know!! I was trying to figure out how they were attracted as well. 😂
Religious Trauma Syndrome makes SO MUCH SENSE. The Hillsong documentary has cracked open the unspoken (or in some cases spoken and signed) code of silence many survivors of religious abuse live under. Survivors are starting to talk.
I love that survivors are speaking out. I read Dr. Marlene Winell's book, Leaving The Fold, and had so many realizations (she was the child of missionaries). RTS definitely needs to become recognized as an official and credible diagnosis.
Ex Jehovahs witness here! I love there is a term for it.
@@BreeMorgan43 I have always just called it spiritual abuse, but its healable. I am a good example of this. I still love God and people, I don't always love what they do. I worry about people weaker and more isolated than I was. So I agree the word is getting out and that's a very good thing. People getting healed from trauma.
@@primesspct2 I'm going through this rn. My mother is a church leader and has been since I was about 5 or 6 yrs and she is also a narcissist. People at church think I'm shy but little do they know what I have been going through for years. The worst part is that they think she is a nice person and would most likely overlook the fact that I have getting abused all my life, but little do they know. I'm now 18+ and still living with my mother, unfortunately.
He married he wrong woman, you should not be cheating this much, how much can you cheat?!
you can tell justin is just looking for a father figure and found that in the “pastor” i wouldn’t fault a Christian for drinking, partying, or making selfish mistakes, but he’s not just a Christian, he’s a church leader and he should be held to a higher standard.
whaaa?? so your saying there is inherent responsibility 🤔 does hotness count for nothing?
Isn't that entire religion founded around faulting people for drinking, partying, and being selfish? Isn't literally the entire point to help the poor and sick, and not engage in greed, gluttony, and selfishness? Remind me when Jesus said it was okay to abandon the poor if it's a really good party?
Why? He is a Man. All Men are Sinners. That’s Why Christ Sacrificed his life for ALL of US. Sin is Sin. Who says one sin is worse than another because of Who they are?
MAN DOES. NOT GOD.
No christains shudnt b drinking partying etc once u except Christ u are changing ur lifestyle and trying not to do the things of the world
And yes he shud definately
Read ur bible then you will know that all the things you mentioned is sin according to your bible

Yeah, I'm sleeping with your husband but I didn't mean to offend or hurt you. Also, they said she wanted to break up multiple times and when it happened she was devastated....
She's a plant. He was screwing Justin and they needed something to take away any ideas of that.
As someone who was in a cult for 2 years thank you for exposing the side of church that everyone ignores

How did you manage to get out?
@@douglosnyala8928 when The Lord Jesus Christ wants you out of there, with your free-will satan & his minions have no saying. But! The battle isn't over yet.

Now i walk the toughest road with my Lord Jesus Christ for redemption.
Bless your heart! So glad you are out
Great video, such an important topic, church hustlers. I spent my late teens and early 20’s in a Pentecost church. The pastors wife and her crew of followers tried to break me. I’ve seen every deception and abuse play out. Though today I’m beyond grateful and blessed for the experience. Going to that church taught me about people and how they move. It prepared me for life. It didn’t shake my faith in God. Just church folks 🧐♥️
Thanks for writing about your experience; I sincerely hope you are well. I, too, learned the hard way that “church” people who hide behind the veil of religion can be some of the worst monsters that walk this earth.
My faith in God still remains; my faith in church people, though? 😒 ugh.
Yes, girl, yes!! Me too!
Went to a private school growing up that was ran by the local Pentecostal church, and the hypocrisy and mental abuse i witnessed gave me a very different perspective on church people. Bc of these people I lost my faith in God for many years, but through some difficult circumstances I found my way back to God's LOVE. I'm very grateful that it all led to me being able to see through the phonies and hypocrites from a mile away now!
I think part of the worst thing about our ex pentecostal church was the 5 hour long services indoctrinating us. Plus don't forget our been forced to go on a trip once a year for some American scammer to take more money from us. We are not well off due to ill health but we felt we had no choice but to go and got into more debt each time plus having to tithe. Lastly the judgement of everyone in that place judging appearances and private lives about everyone there so you knew they were doing it about you. You attending and finding God wasn't enough you had to have nice clothes and expensive hats. Never again for us because my God didn't come for the rich he came for the poor and sinners. Put me off church forever. So whilst we don't have such massive churches they work together to get as much tax free money from us as they can get and don't care about us generally.
This really resonates with me in the same way. I was raised by a pentecostal preacher and that really teaches you how to see through people. I distanced myself from church culture while also keeping my faith in God. It's toxic
When someone says they didn't mean to hurt someone but slept with that person's husband and also said she didn't mind him being married is someone I couldn't even trust with a child.
Yet he trusted her in his bed
Why are we talking about her and not him
@@Lightraybbecause when you know they're married you're just as bad as the person cheating
when someone sleeps with somebody's husband that's called a hoe, she knew what she was doing and to say that she didn't mean to hurt the wife if she didn't mean to hurt the wife and she should have never slept with the wife's husband in the first place
@@ItsOKtobeNormal... and i agree but you are missing the point. many people are vulnerable and looking for a place to fit in. just like pedophiles, these preachers, priests...etc...(not all) choose to be where they can use religion to brainwash people...and groom them. don't blame the victim...they were looking for something bigger than themselves...they are not to blame!
Having young Justin leave with him was an IMMEDIATE red flag and I can't believe no one else saw how weird that was
moving in with church leaders or ones pastor etc is always the biggest red flag.
I mean she had him stay with P diddler when he was younger than that....
They swim in a sea of red flags. What's one more?
This "woman" actually said that she got involved with a married man because she didn't "want to judge him". Then, she said that "people have forgotten the concept of religion". I'm convinced that people don't understand what "don't judge" means. Those 2 words are badly overused today. While we can't judge an individual, we have a direct mandate to judge the situation. If someone is married, you don't get involved. It's very simple.
YES! Judging is for God only, but we have DISCERNMENT. She is equally guilty.
@@lysandracaspez578 And, here's another thing that bothers me. You hear people say, "I don't go to church because they're judgmental." I have a problem with that and here's why. Yes, there are judgmental people in the church. There are also judgmental people in every day life. If you go to church just looking for judgmental people, you'll find them. But if you go truly seeking the Holy Spirit, you'll find Him. People see what they want to see. Besides, we're not there to worship the other people. There's one more thing that bothers me. I have never heard anyone who was doing right say, "Don't judge me." When people are doing right, they're not worried about it. Every time I have ever heard anyone say that, they were doing wrong. They knew in their heart that they were doing wrong and didn't want to be judged. I'm sick to death of the "don't judge me" thing. Personally, I won't judge them anyway. But, people use it as an excuse to do wrong and don't want anyone to say anything about it. It's just another one of Satan's tricks. He knows the Word of God better than we do.
@@MeCanik79 agree !
she just chose a polite way to say she didn't give a fuck. which is her choice
@@MeCanik79 People see what they want to see... right, you hit it right on the nail but you don't apply it to yourself. Ive been involved in many open conversations about faith with very religious people and even the kindest of them end up judging others for their actions, thinking its oke to say you burn in hell forever and ever just because you didn't let Jesus take the wheel. What you want to see is a non judgmental group that love and supports others and so you block you the possibility that many people are just super judgy in nature, they think it's oke to think you burn forever and get blocked out of eternal bliss, just because you don't believe there is a big person in the sky behind the circle of life. If you say you don't believe in god people say people will tell you you're being rude but it's oke for religious people to tell everyone about their convictions, which are build upon a time we don't even live in, build on morals that are deeply flawed and build in a system where religion was used to control the mass, not to lift them up. Is interesting how that conversation always goes one way, even when you try to be open to it. The problem is that you need to KNOW that he is there as a true believer, which leaves out the possibility to accept that you might be wrong, which closes off the whole conversation/acceptance of others that don't. I've looked for faith, i really needed it and i tried, but in the end i could not find it and you should be oke with that and accept the chance that what you believe might not be true, we just don't know, there is just belief. If you can't accept that you instantly judge me as being wrong, which debunks your whole argument about being so accepting and non judgemental. It just doesn't add up man.
You are phenomenal at crafting these elaborate RUclips documentaries. The effort involved is unreal!
@Tchelitchew thank you, appreciate it!
I know, I am so excited
Like I want to me mad that she doesn’t post often but the effort that goes into these is just impeccable
I concur
I agree!
This documentary brought back my early years in the Pentecostal church, college and youth ministry. I get icky feelings now when I see any “Christian” anything anymore. I have a very deep faith, but no dogma or religious teachings in my spiritual walk. Just the spark of God I see in all living things.
This was me after seeing how the "church folk" behaved.
Worse because it was against a person from the church. All she wanted to do was change churches for one closer to home and frankly more her vibe.
They were vicious.
Agreed
I was raised in the church/Christianity. Even as a kid I had doubts and knew something didn't feel right.
The goal of the adversary is to make us weary of the term "Christian". Any word that has Christ in it is power. I understand when "people" let us down, we get so turned off by "Christianity". We have to remember, that we don't allow people the represent the perfect Christ. We are all fallible. Let's base our faith in Christ, not in the people who falsely claim they represent him. His ways are higher than our ways, but the adversary comes to steal, kill and destroy.
This❤️
Love the accuracy, and the "against mega churches", questioning our own beliefs about what media told us, but respectfully not shoving a certain information down our throats. Well done! Hope to see more.
this guy was such a charleton. I hope that if someone was looking for answers about faith that they found someone who was actually knowledgeable instead of this "prosperity gospel joel osteen" stuff people get drawn into.
I completely agree. I had never heard this guy speak until this video and just hearing his “RUclips interview” (I missed what minute mark that was at)- damn, I personally think he answered those particular questions really well so I get the appeal. I get why people were drawn to him and followed him. The fact he did the things he did, ugh, it sucks because whether we like it or agree with it or not, he was a representative and leader of a Christian church here in the US so his actions can and will be used against the Christian community. I don’t know much about Justin Bieber but from this video, I get the impression he was definitely looking for meaning, purpose, closeness with God and unfortunately, sought all this and was lead by the wrong person 🫤
@@okoala62 Lentz himself was "star struck" by Bieber and wanted to impress _him_ and "be cool" and sew his wild oats. Rather than _lead_ a young man desiring to increase his faith and fight the strong and heavy current of social pressure that he was struggling to keep afloat in (the world of celebrity) , Carl used Justin's fame and influence to fulfill his own sinful desires, which ultimately led to his own destruction.🥀
@@StellaRaeVon great points! Very true!
All priests, bishops whatever ARE ALL charletons. So nothing new. It's just funny, that u have entitled priests on tv and help them to get jets and millions (in america). Why are we all so dump and need a god or priests? And every religion what claimes "love", but excludes people bc of their skin, sex, whatever, would be a nogo in seconds.
It's no surprise that someone who is so utterly one dimensional and materialistic would be attracted to this phony prosperity gospel bullsh*t. It's all about money, power, and opportunism.
Being an intern for what was called “The City Church” under Pastor Judah Smith for years, I can tell you this documentary is absolutely 100% accurate.
@David James share all your secrets! lol
@@notthegoodgirl I still have my messages back and forth from 2017 with Carl calling him out on his behavior when he took Justin in. He was warned but he didn’t want to listen.
Is it true that he slept with many other women in church???
@@sakuraesther6309 That I don’t know for sure because i didn’t work under Carl. I was under Judah Smith “his best friend” But I would not be surprised. COVID-19 and the pandemic had absolutely nothing to do with Carl’s cheating ways and his immoral lifestyle. That’s what I do know. This doc does kinda make it seem covid was the reason he lost his way but it started long before that.
@@sakuraesther6309 of course he did. That goes along with his God complex
I was a member of Benny Hinn's church when he was in Orlando. I left the 'country club' church and never went back. Step down Carl. Go away into seclusion and really find God man.
I pray for these people. Thank you God for showing me the Way.
i remember we went to this church for a while while trying out different ones in nyc…my mom always thought lentz was an asshole and i didn’t really see what she meant- but she was so right lmao
Your mum has discernment 😇
Moms know best
I can't stand him anymore 🙄 He definitely is an asshole
Smh; he needs help
@@youcantdiealonewithcats came here to say the same
Sometimes moms know best. For me it was always difficult to admit it. Now as a mom myself, my own daughter feels the same. Lol. I am so happy you seem to have a good relationship with your mom and can admit she was right. ♥️
As a former “insider” of a mega-church myself, this Hillsong pastor is more the norm than the exception. The only difference is he got outed. That’s it. The staggering hypocrisy and secret double life of these “people of faith” would stun outsiders. Greed, sex, and outright lying is rampant in the evangelical world- especially among the household names and leaders. It’s a phenomenal business with a very slick product that has believers forking over their checkbooks at every opportunity. Look past the Hollywood stagecraft, private jets, designer suits, teams of image consultants, movie and music production, concerts, publishing arms, real estate holdings, political action groups and one sees a profit machine raking in billions TAX FREE. Plus immense political power and community influence all over the US and the world. They are only getting bigger, more powerful, and more influential with every passing day. The ONLY way to slow it down- but not stop it- is to take away the tax exempt status of all religious organizations, which will never happen in the US. I have no issue with a business making billions selling a product- but the tax exempt status allows unfair competition that other categories of business cannot claim. The loosely interpreted “prosperity gospel” has become a license to print money. Doubtful Jesus would approve since he clearly stated “easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man into heaven” or “give away all your possessions and follow me” or “blessed are the poor” and on and on…
The tax free is in almost every country and these pastors are profiting big time though in my country it's the prophetic pastors that are benefiting the most. We used to joke with my best friend that if we were not utterly scared of God's wrath then we would also start our own church and become rich.
B R ~ Good statement!
I believe you, wholeheartedly.
I can't stand prosperity doctrine. I've often said that if Jesus were to return today, he'd march straight up to Hillsong - not to praise, but to rebuke. I happened to be close to the faculty of the Bible College I attended during the rise of Hillsong. They were amazed at it's success, but sceptical of how they attained that success. No one quite knew how to rein them in.
I just think it's funny because ever sense I left the church and started working on myself I've noticed I'm doing better...leaving the church was just the start. I'm not even addicted to things anymore and am busy.
Is there a single mega-church that is not led by a massive a$$hole? How people can fall for that is beyond me. These people are not rich because God blessed them but because you gave them all your money. It's a crime that laws have not been adjusted and they don't have to pay taxes.
Agreed. It’s absolutely ridiculous they don’t have to pay a single dollar in taxes.
It is almost an evolution of High School....being in the "popular" clique. These types of churches are filled with pomp but very little substance.
Most of the people who fall for it are people who have low self-esteem issues and desire to belong. These churches are cult like and prey on this. Many desire to part of the inner circle so will do anything not to be rejected and that's how they get used, discarded and hurt.
Because people are sheep
If people knew their Bible they would clearly see the false teachers and liars that these people are.
If you are waiting in line to get into a church you are searching for Good in the wrong place.
My parents are (still) both pastors and they are worse sinners than the people in their churches. My father multiple wives, affairs and kids all over the place. My mother is a covert alcoholic and likes to drive out of town on Friday nights to get her freak on in nightclubs with very young men. We’re talking 18-20 year olds. She’s in her 60s. Both are divorced (from each other and others) and are current pastors of different churches. Their churches are aware of what they are like and cover it all up. My father got caught touching womens bodies inappropriately in the prayer line. He still preaches. My mother had a full mental breakdown and left the country for a month ditching her car at the airport then writing everyone suicidal letters. Came back acted like nothing happened her church covered it all up.
I do not go to church and I don’t think i ever will again, you cannot trust these people. It’s all about the Benjamin’s. They make me sick
You’re relationship with God is personal and does not have to be in any way defined by the boundaries of some religion.
@@littleflower3665 Agree 100% ... it's a personal relationship between you and God, not to be defined by OTHER people (and their failures) either.
Biggest crooks , thanks for sharing
All are not as your parents. There are good Christian people out there.
First, your mother was never to be a pastor, that goes against the Bible.
Your concern is YOUR SALVATION. You are responsible for you only. Mom and Dad showed what they are. Don't be like them
@@littleflower3665this is a misdirection tactic that the church builds in to keep the grift going….ahh so your church is bad? Just stop going and talk to Jesus in your head…Most people don’t like being isolated and if they don’t place themselves in front of other Christians and their propaganda they lose their faith. So they go back to the church again and again and talk to other Christians about their personal relationship with Jesus. Then they give away their money, their bodies, and all of their power.
It shows just what motivated Carl, the Croud, Noise, Performance, Stardom, everything but the Lord
Money too
Dude really? Crowd*
And segs and alcohol
Just to add on that,
BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT GOD HATES ALL ARTIFICAL CONSTRACEPTIVES LIKE PILLS, CONDOMS ETC.
Not only is it sinful for people to use artificial contraceptives,
Jesus Christ (through revelation and visions)
says some of them cause
ABORTION , EVEN CARDIAC ARREST/FAINTING/HEART PROBLEMS IN WOMEN.
Many of the diseases of the womb, birth canal, like cancer, fibrosis, stomach cancer, etc that women suffer today, its because of the ARTIFICIAL CONTRACEPTIVES AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD (esp fast foods) that people ingest.
Some dead Christian are in hell ....died of cardiac arrest because of these artificial contraceptives.
Most of them cause alot of complications (like diseases) and abortion in women unknown to them.
SOLUTION
1) Use prayer ,,,,asking God to close the womb if you dont want more children. God is the one who used to open and close the womb of Rachael, Hannah, Elizabeth , Rebecca, Sarah.
God still does that today.
Artificial contraceptives including condoms, vasectomy, ligation, are all sinful.
God hates them.
Some dead Christians are in hell fire because of these artificial contraceptives.
Avoid them at all cost.
2) If you have less faith (which is not good), then use the Rhythm method.
Let the woman observe her monthly flow...mark the days on the calendar and avoid meeting those times she is likely to get pregnant.
It is a natural method and God accepts it.
NOTE: DO NOT USE THE WITHDRAWAL METHOD LIKE ONAN IN THE BIBLE.
GOD HATES THAT.
Withdrawal method is similar to masturbation. God these things.
MORE THINGS TO AVOID ALSO
(For the married...for the single stay away from fornication and cohabitation)
1) Avoid oral sex, ungodly sex styles like doggie, woman on top of a man, etc.
Only the missionary style (a man on top of a woman is accepted before God)
2) Avoid the use of sex toys or objects in your marriage bed.
3) Avoid sexy clothes like thongs, lingerie's, bikinis, batman suit, spiderman suit, catwoman suit which arouse lust.

Okay it’s actually very disappointing, but such is the world unfortunately. If only we had a savior….

Justin was high as hell at that conference 😂😂😂😂
Rightt! 🤣🤣
Just Brushing his pearly Whites😅🤍
Over & Over & Over Again!
@Mecca... Unfortunately so...
Hahha I thought the same damn thing he was prob on molly
This mistress REAAALLY needs to seem special and interesting. "he was escaping his boring life" meaning she blamed his wife for the affair. She didn't contact the media because she felt bad, she wanted attention and to humiliate his wife, somehow claim victory over her in a way. It's sad when women have so little substance and such low self-esteem that they base their worth on a man's appreciation of her body and whether he would drop his wife for her. Truly sad and pathetic. I feel for his wife, it is humiliating to be cheated on with someone like this, but as a consolation her husband is even worse so good riddance ig
You nailed it. Exactly what happened with her.
Good riddance to a man like this.
She is lucky she is his EX.
Run far far away . . . .
He exploited her Faith. HE was married. She's clearly a lost soul and he took advantage of that. She made bo promises to his wife but he did. He's the scumbag who is pathetic and sad. I'm not saying she has no blame but he's a predator and she was lost
I wonder if Justin and Carl got gay together .🤔
I hoped I wasn’t the only one to think that, it’s bad enough to be cheated on until the mistress goes on national tv rubbing it in about his boring life and he loved her, disgusting
I’m a Christian who hasn’t been to church in years. Situations like this makes me sad as this is such a distortion of what the church should be. As someone who was burned by the church, I hope this community can grow and learn from things like this….
It is the great falling away. All these fake pastors are jabbed now anyway
A big church in my area had a similar situation pastor went to "Evangelize" in Indonesia (the cool surfer pastor surfed there) He had an affair with a younger woman got caught and fired. My neighbor of 20 years .. a true Christian in every sense of the word quit organized religion because of this. This was a person whose career was volunteering at food banks. Sad. At that time I felt agnostic my circumstances have changed my opinion. But after 20 years of living within earshot and seeing them daily you get to know them. Stand up awesome people real Christians even I felt it
So the pastor with his dick root out don't cut it? JB seems to like it lol. Can't believe the pictures of that guy and people still let it go
If u can't find a good church and satan uses it to burn u and cause u to forsake God's good standards(satan uses ppl who give him a foothold so that ppl find a reason to forsake fellowship altogether), it just may be God calling u to start your own fellowship group. U don't need to be a pastor to get ppl together to pray etc. Look up how the old, true church worked.
you don't need to be physically in church because the real Church is Spiritual, it's Jesus church.. remember where there is people there will be scandal... Because people are not God.. they are just humans.. what i want to say is that Jesus Church is the people He chose... Many people can go to church and call themselves christian... but they are not really.. because A real christian is not someone who would live in debauchery... but The holy Spirit will change a person and make him HIS person... so even thought you are not in church.. you can still be In Jesus Church as spiritually you are in it because the Holy Spirit changed you and you are in it
If the Apostle Paul was alive, he have rebuked this pastor and the Church… they’re using God for their own benefit. Just sad…
Carl got a whiff of easy money, designer clothes, adoring fans and fame . He’s just a Grifter For God, big business . If Carl had not gotten into the grift, he would be selling cars at a used car lot in Virginia. He has the gift of gab like the other Mega Church grifters. Great video , hopefully people will not fund these grifters anymore
Hed be a VERY successful used car salesman
Well said 👍
Poor Laura... fired for her husband's infidelity AND gaslit about the continued infidelity. WTF
I wonder, how did she not realize this whole thing was a scam? I'm not saying she deserves to be heartbroken. However, I find it hard to believe she didn't know what his agenda entailed.
Idk ....she was complicit in a lot of this
I feel slightly bad for her, bc she didn’t deserve that treatment from her husband. But, at the same time, I don’t feel bad for her….she was right there, front and center, enjoying the spotlight and fame and attention, buying Gucci and mansions and flashy cars off the backs of all the people who attend their “church”, whether rich celebrity or just one of the nameless, faceless people who have been convinced that they can buy their way into heaven for 10% of their money.
That wasn’t enough for them though, so instead of hiring assistants, drivers etc, they used people in their church as if they were indentured servants, and apparently treated them like crap, while not paying them for services rendered. How did they do that? By abusing their position of power, by acting like they were “god’s” special messengers, by pretending to be morally superior and by believing they shouldn’t have to go and earn money at an actual job bc that is below them.
They BOTH got caught up in greed and the “celebrity lifestyle” to the point they felt entitled and special.
At the first signs of infidelity, she could have left him, but that would expose his lies and put their lavish lifestyle at risk. I’m sure he lied to her, but she lied to herself too, not wanting her house of cards to fall down around her.
She wasn’t fired bc her husband cheated on her, they didn’t kick an innocent woman while she was down. They both got fired as a result of being greedy liars. Then they got rewarded with severance packages and a free mansion for half a year, paid for by Tyler perry!
I’m sure they will continue the grift for years to come.
No, if I feel sorry for anybody, I feel bad for their kids, seeing their hypocritical dad cheat on their mom, while preaching purity at everyone, and showing their kids they don’t have to earn a living, just steal/tithe from lots of other people with jobs. They will be lucky if they don’t turn into spoiled, entitled adults like their parents.
@@basicallymid Right?💀 They always do this with these folks.
@@RowanWarren78 She did. They just love to think white women are innocent when she was complicit and could have stopped it. She’s just as guilty.
I actually feel sorry for Justin. If you are a child, surrounded by yes people and access to 100M dollars before your pre-frontal cortex is fully developed it would be pretty hard to stay grounded in any way, shape or form.
And Carl took advantage of him just like everyone else he is surrounded by.
Justin made the same dumb mistakes of youth many of us did at that age. We just weren't in the public eye. I'm not really a fan of his music, but I'm glad he seems to be moving in a positive direction now.
These pastors are ordinary, fallible, gullible people
just like their congregation.
Yeah.. luckily Bieber learned quickly. Probably because He’s a lot smarter than your avg popstar. I was never a big fan of his teenage era music , but I knew dude was smart & more than just a boyband style singer when he solved a Rubik’s cube in just min or 2 on James corden live. Unfortunately most child super stars like Micheal Jackson get screwed for their entire lives. And the root cause of all their problematic behaviors (later in life) goes back to traumatic events in their childhood. Traumas they wouldn’t have gone through if they weren’t such superstars.

If a church needs a CEO, then you know there's an issue
Yes, church is not a company
And / or PAYING A PUBLIC RELATIONS COMPANY TO BUILD THE CHURCH!!!
@@TheRealEvvonne Yes. And they should pay taxes on their incomes.
@@TheRealEvvonne It isn't supposed to be. Many are run like a business, but that just means they don't meet the biblical definition of a church. The "church" in the Bible is the group of believers who follow Jesus Christ by doing what He told us to do and doing what He did (as such, the real "church" has already paid taxes because each individual member of the true "church" paid taxes before ever giving their money to the general fund which is supposed to support EACH MEMBER of the church, NOT a singular pastor or paid "staff", and especially not for one or a few people to get rich while everyone else pays for it).
The Pastor is the CEO. That's how every church is setup. That's how its supposed to be. He's the CEO because he makes executive decisions. That's all a CEO is: the Chief Executive Officer.
Carl lentz is exactly what Justin Bieber DIDN'T NEED!
Surprisingly as someone who’s been a part of a church like this. It’s kind of typical. You don’t tend to see on the news unless it’s a big tv church. So this stuff goes uncovered.
Yup, the church has A LOT of toxicity, tea, and systematic oppression.
Can't say I haven't seen similar things in my own churches before. Still have some faith, but just cautious.
I think more people are Celebrities nowadays on their faith. Christmas eve service and Easter service to Celebrate the birth and death of Jesus. Hope our current generation wakes up and do it right, so we can have a faithful upcoming generation.
May God bless you all.

@Christopher Sadlowski thank you so much. And no, I didn't! Due to being raised in fundamentalism, I wasn't allowed to watch any TV/cable whatsoever (we were only allowed to watch movies), so making documentaries never crossed my mind. 😂 I probably didn't watch my first documentary until I was in my 20's (unless one was shown at school or somewhere similar).

I grew up in a family full of preachers and in all this time, it's the same EXACT story, every time. The church is good with allowing them to go unchecked until it hits the news and when it threatens their $$$, THEN it's a problem.
I left "church" for good...went to different churches and offered my services as a therapist, and they preferred to have unqualified people as counselors...I didn't want to lead; I simply offered my services for free...i was never a brown noser and i spoke my mind (with respect) when I disagreed ...I am realizing now that perhaps I didn't fit in because I was not sheep enough

I used to frequent Hillsong in Sydney 17 years ago. A friend of mine passed away suddenly, and my friend suggested I see a counsellor from the church. I did, but I ended up making me feel worse. She was trying to investigate if things were happening in the church as she saw people speaking in tongues sometimes and wanted me to find out things. It really messed me up because I was grieving. Many people who I thought were my friends weren't they were only interested if you kept going there. They were always 'high from the spirit of god', so that clip of JB, etc. They could have been sober because people often acted that way. 💕
They're not real counsellors- they're just nosey christians. Best to stay away from them.
I attended it too for years. I was blessed to meet someone who challenged me on their preaching and the church in general. I noticed all the red flags and left. Whilst there I made heaps of “friends” and now there’s only 1 that still goes there that I kinda still talk too. The rest brushed me off.

My comment was directly referring to my knee-jerk reaction of the joke told about "church-stalking," rather than a critique of the whole movement. It made me extremely uncomfortable to think that anyone anywhere would use behaviors like that in Church to try to get closer to a person they wanted to be in a relationship with. I personally would be very uncomfortable if someone came up to me unprompted and did something like that, knowing that they may have been "church stalking" me. I hope that helps to explain.

Carl is a classic con man. Unfortunately there are so many of them exploiting ignorant people. It amazes me how many keep following these criminals and lose everything to them.
The con artist 'honeypot' woman prostituted herself no doubt she was paid by the Luciferian Satanic system illuminati to take down Christian leadership, she ain't so innocent she is complicit as a snake.

Run to Jesus!
Trust in Him alone!

If you have defected from God then read these Scriptures: (Lost Sheep, Luke 15:1-7 - Lost Coin, 15:8-10 - Lost Son, 15:11-32 - Rich Man and Lazarus, 16:19-31) Jesus is calling you back home, read His word, believe and repent. Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone!

The world is racing toward "AMAGEDDON" !!! And people need to get right with the Lord!
If you have not read the books of (Daniel chapters 7-12), (Ezekiel chapters 37-39) (Matthew chapters 24:1-51 + 25:1-30), (1 Thessalonians chapters 1-5), (2 Thessalonians chapters1-3) and (Revelation chapters 6-19), now would be a good time. They will explain a lot about what is going on right now!
These books will cover the "Wars" about to come, the catching up / the blessed hope, World judgement, hence the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation! These books will also be the most ominous and scary for the unbelievers and the most exciting and uplifting for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!...
It is my hope and prayer that people would repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ before all these things take place, because it is going to be very, very scary if you do not and you decide to wait and see what happens.

May the Lord encourage you to seek the truth, in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.

I played drums at the main campus of city church (Churchome) which is Judah smiths church. I played there for 2 years, and I would play usually twice a month, sometimes more. Even though I was at the same campus and building as Judah, I never once met him. He was always in a locked room only a couple people were allowed in. He was untouchable, This was always weird to me..
Wow. How unrelational. Gross. 🤮
all judah does is talk about himself. he is so annoying 40 mins of his personal life, 5 mins of scripture, and 15 minutes of annoying selfcentered prayer
Oxymoronic: you can't 'pastor' behind a locked door. Mega is nuts-o it seems. Is there any mega church that is true for Christ and righteousness in their words and deeds?
Have you ever read the Quraan ?
U should it is the best book ever
That is a false religious leader. We are called to be meek, humble, without pride, self sacrificing and repentant of sin and obedient to His word. How many pastors are currently doing this?🤔
Justin during that conference interview was definitely on something
Ohh yes!!
It looked like all of them were stoned...
Huh. Someone named Judah leading to the downfall of a religious figure...
SYMBOLISM!!!!
*dun dun DUUUNNN*
Thank you for covering this
"A married man, with three children, is not a blank canvas". Perfect
This is truly heartbreaking. To use the word of God as a weapon to victimize people in the pursuit of monetary gain is a horrendous and disgusting act. People who are hurting and searching for the truth. All will be held accountable.
Amen
To Gov been doing this for centuries
Happens in almost all faiths! Pple are fooled and fleeced in the name of God!
Amen!
Sure is sure is to knw how Christ suffered on the Cross for us
This was well produced. I appreciate that you didn’t bash Christianity but the people that use it to prey and prophet off the spirituality vulnerable. ❤️
So true. So many times when people report on the corruption of the leadership, their congregation is mocked for following them. But similar documentaries reporting on corrupt politicians and CEOs offer compassion for their wronged employees and investors. I’m so glad this channel places the blame only where it rightfully lies and doesn’t take cheap shots against believers.
Profit
U called Christians bigots
U tube abbreviated my comment to say what they wanted it to say.
The only bigot in this video is the narrator
@@dsmith4140 what?
The fact the woman chose to have an affair with a married man (which she found out before they slept together), tells volumes about her. And THAT was Carl’s type of a perfect woman?! 🤢 Those two would really deserve each other if he wasn’t married already.
Poor Laura's family... imagine the struggle her and the kids face everyday.
Agree! Her “blank canvas” quote was obnoxious and speaks of a woman with a lot of growing up to come. I wonder if her future spouse will be a “blank canvas”?
She definitely has a lot of healing to find. I think she probably felt special that a pastor would risk it all for her but he used her as a slumming prop👀
@@oldhickory4686I agree. She didn't care....she did what she wanted
Women who get married to such men are the real problem. I disgrace to womenhood.
I could watch documentary about ANY subject from you! These are so well made!!! ❤
Justin B was definitely spiritually manipulated and spiritually abused by Carl. He was in a vulnerable time in his life turning 18 and thinking he was invincible with all that money and Carl swooped in to take advantage. Justin is obviously no saint and has done some horrible things but he didn’t deserve that.
JB isn’t manipulated…they are all on the same team!
Hi. Manipulated? Yea, manipulating themselves and others by believing in miracles as literal from those old stories of mythology. And things like gods, devils, demons, angels and heaven and hell.
And yes, on the same team....... Team Taking It Literally!
If I’m not mistaken,Justin and his wife are serving God today.
Meh, Justin is a horrible person. I don’t feel bad tbh.
@@jsteel3095 what god? You mean satan in that industry.
Carl and his buddies were described in 2nd Timothy 3:2
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
The Godlessness in these last days, and indeed we are in the last days. We all need to repent for the Kingdom of God is near.
If a pastor tells you, that if you give money to a church, god likes you more,... run!
Tithing is biblical, so even J-crizzle enjoyed being dripped out on his off days.
This was a documentary well done. I am a Christian and you done an excellent job narrating and are on point. I feel so bad for Justin Beiber. I pray he does find peace and true salvation.
It’s infuriating that these cult leaders are not held accountable!!!
They will be
He literally lost his job and his livelihood. Like what do you want more? Adultery is not illegal (anymore) and if his wife forgave him and stuck by him so can you.
Religion is a nother control system like so many others that we are now finding out about humanity is getting there eyes opened the hard way so much dark things that have been going in all systems will be exposed if we don’t wake up and call them out and expose wheat they are doing we could all loos our freedom and many life’s like from the needles Humanity was coned into taking and
Millions have died May our creator Divine help us all
Being a mega church --not a plus.
Believe me, they will be held accountable
Girl.
I am just halfway through and I have got to say, the short step back you did, did you good! So professional and clean. Like this information filled all the gaps the documentary left out. Super proud of you and the growth your channel.
Something seems weird
Seconding this - I listened to the podcast but this shed even more light on things.
Which documentary
Wow, Josie. GREAT job. This had so much information that the Hillsong documentary didn't have! And I love your little quips. This was great, thank you for all the hard work!
@Bay thank you so much for watching!
@@notthegoodgirl 💩
This documentary is impeccable. Well done.
The reason Carl doesnt want his housekeepers looking in him the eye or talking to him is because that's how literal slaveholders acted. In their heart they know it's wrong and so are affronted by the prospect of acknowledging/being acknowledged by their captives. Only difference is for this scenario consent is implied.
Sad but true
That is an interesting take. I noticed the same pattern in a lot of celebrities (ellen degeneres, colleen ballinger, etc). I always wondered why the avoided eye contact
❤ The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness
Amen in Christ and claim it now in Jesus name.
Same to you and your loved ones ♥️🫶♥️
Same to you and all your loved ones 🙏
Wow how does this not have millions of views. The editing and the way you weave the story had me glued from start to finish. Now I'm gonna have to go back and see what else you have done. Well done
Watch her others ones too ! So good!!
People should look into Passion City Church in Atlanta, Ga. They follow the Hillsong play book. The Pastor even has his own record label. They also have one of their locations at Trilith Studios. Trilith is the second largest movie studio in the United States and owned by the Family that started Chick-fil-A. The United States Soccer Association just moved their headquarters here as well. Just for young people they have these Passion Conferences that cost hundreds of dollars a ticket and there is a age limit. Most churches are just a money making business now days. They have their coffee shops and book shops right in the churches. Heck even Donald Trump is selling his own Bibles now.
Yours is the best doco channel I’ve seen on RUclips, no cheesy edits, no bullshit, no random guy on camera. You let the info speak for itself and show us the clips. Thank you.
And the great irony of it all is, Lentz was “teaching” his flock about how to live a pure life and stay sex-free until marriage. It’s sad to see anyone that proclaims the name of Jesus to fail like this; it ruins his witness and credibility (Jimmy Swaggart comes to mind). And sure, you can be forgiven for your misdeeds, but it’s hard to win back the trust that human beings placed on you. it also shows that we are to worship the Creator and not the creation, as so many did in regards to Carl Lentz.
Yeah, he was the one televangelist I could tolerate as a kid waiting for the cartoons and kid shows to come on. However when the prostitution scandal broke in 1988 when I was 9, it was on the news radio in the car on the way to school. I remember being shocked, he seemed so sincere and into Jesus. Since that day I trust none of those priest or preacher types.
All televangelist and faith healing preachers are scammers and scavengers. They see the congregation as nothing more than marks.
It certainly doesn’t help that he is a famous religious leader
As an individual who comes from a very conservative background and Southern Baptist Christian college, I cannot express how much vindication I feel about Hillsong leadership imploding after how often they were used as a tool of manipulation towards me in the past. Thank you for all your work you put into this video as well as pointing me towards Dr. Marlene Winell and her idea of Religious Trauma Syndrome because it's been a label I've been trying to figure out for years now
It used to be just called ritual abuse. But people are afraid to use those two words anymore. But it's all the same. Cult abuse. Ritual abuse. Doesn't have to be satanic except in my mind, if you are threatened to give your money to a Christian church to keep you from "Satan," it's IS satanic fear and satanic abuse. When seeming to be on opposite ends of the line, when the line is circled up, they are side by side. Christian abuse can look satanic very very simply. I have my own story to tell. Megalo anything esp church, dangerous stuff. And it's all in the open and normalized now. Scientology. Megachurches. Gizillionaires taking food off of the tables of poor people without shame as they buy their fifth private plane, home and island. They don't care who or what is sacrificed for their ego. Dangerous stuff. Jim Jones. Cults are a slippery slope. And right now in the USA, they are no longer hidden. They are normalized. Sad. And many destroyed lives. Even those who showed up on Jan 6th to do the bidding of a person that has enjoyed being called god. Did you know txxxx's father's middle name was "Christ?" Imagine growing up with that dad. Explains txxxx a lot.
So let me get this right you're happy about another Christian falling? Vindication?
@@benamos3833 yeah, I’m hoping they mean that they feel validated, not vindicated. I would feel happy that my doctrine is sound but I’d never rejoice in anyone’s failure. I’d be praying for repentance and redemption for these people. Bendiciones. 💙🙏🏽
@@benamos3833 It serves christianity better to not have people use Jesus for their own selfish purpose. Don't you agree?
@@benamos3833 Bro conservative southern You think her parents , grandparents aren't racist??? What do you think that dinner table is like? SHE KNOWS HOW HER FAMILY IS
How very true are the words of King Jesus when He said, "Narrow is the gate that leads to Heaven..."
In our generation, there are so many Matthew 7:21 Christians!
HAVE MERCY ON US, KING JESUS.
When a church does not preach on repentance, salvation, heaven or hell, then that church is in trouble. Greed and pride is the downfall of men and with it comes money, women, etc etc. May God have mercy and may each individual repent before it is too late. GOD is always waiting for HIS lost sheep. God bless.
Preach Sister but spare the Judgement..
You aren't God.
Amen! It is written.
Not just the downfall of man, the downfall of Satan himself who was in heaven WITH God, before getting thrown out. No wonder he uses pride and greed to turn people from God.
@@gabriellejudd1there was no judgement there… just a prayer for repentance and God’s mercy. Sounds biblical.
This is Netflix worthy. Well done gorgeous ❤️
This is when you MUST go into serious prayer when you see crowds and fame in your church. You never know how far and deep one can fall. “All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God….” The devil is not playing remember he is right here with us “That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. Keep a cool head. Stay alert.”
