The skeletons in Bethel's closet are now going to speak

How Shawn Bolz and his victims sent me down the rabbit hole to find generations of fakery, abuse, lies, and Cover-up Culture. Tons of evidence, tons of names. Light will shine. 0:00 Intro (I didn’t want to make this video)6:24 Going down the rabbit hole25:29 How Shawn was created1:00:52 The Evidence Shawn Faked it1:40:51 Three of Shawn’s former employees told me what he did to them2:08:14 Bethel lied to us3:14:13 The saga of Bob and Sally3:41:13 The “Trigger Video” (December 2023)3:51:25 Bethel finally responds.

Bethel knew and didn't warn... I believe that Bob Hartley is one of the key threads running through the past 40 years of the Charismatic church (Bethel, IHOPKC, Morningstar, etc.). If we pull on that thread, we will see the truth that there is a long-standing Cover-up Culture in the movement and some of the biggest names have participated in it. In this video, I interview the son of Bob Hartley, Jedidiah, who exposes his father's fake prophecy grift and how Bob used it to prey upon women. I also interview Michelle Seidler and let her talk about multiple witnesses that have come forward. The reason Jedidiah has gone forward, as well as Michelle, is because Bethel leadership didn't do the right thing years ago. From all appearances their actions are consistent with Cover-up Culture and self-protection. But it is the job of the leaders to protect the people, not themselves. 0:00 Intro: This is a big deal3:05 Bob's son, Jedidiah Hartley, interview 1:21:35 Michelle Seidler interview about multiple victims My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Taking questions from the live chat after I answer the first one! Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:19 {Interracial Marriage: Biblical?} Are mixed-race or interracial marriages biblically permissible? 2. 19:09 {Evangelism: Relationships Required?} I've been told that you should build a relationship with someone before sharing the Gospel with them. Thoughts?3. 22:12 {Others’ Consciences: Our Responsibility?} Are we responsible if someone is emboldened to disobey his conscience because of something we posted online (Romans 14)? I wish to show games I like on my channel, but I’m afraid they may convict a brother.4. 35:18 {Are “Titles” Biblical?} Is calling people by a church title, like Pastor, biblical? Nowhere in Scripture is anyone referred to by anything other than their first name, and Matthew 23:7-12 seems to forbid it.5. 44:23 {Scriptural Coincidences?} Abram's father, Terah set out for Canaan, but stopped in Harran, where he died. Later, God calls Abraham to Canaan. How do I know if something like this is a coincidence or meaningful?6. 45:58 {Should Abortion be Prosecuted?} Do you think it's biblical that women who have abortions should be legally judged the same way as someone who commits murder?7. 51:50 {Balancing Ambition & Contentment} As a Christian, how do you balance ambition and contentment?8. 54:29 {James: Works Based Salvation?} In Galatians, Paul says Jews from the sect of James were Judaizers. If the book of James was written before the Acts 15 council, do you think James in his book taught a works-based salvation?9. 1:00:40 {Why No Marriage in Heaven?} Jesus clearly says there is no marriage in Heaven. But God established pre-fall that it is not good for man to be alone and He gave Eve to Adam despite Adam being in communion with God in the garden. Thoughts?10. 1:03:31 {Appropriate Motivation for Hard Work} Is it wrong to reward myself for doing the things I have to do? I worry that it might cause me to work for the wrong motives. But it's so hard to get myself to do things. Everything the Bible teaches about alcohol: HERE James 2 and the justification question: HERE  https://BibleThinker.org

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

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Intro1. 0:18 {Hell: Traditional vs. Conditional?} What is Mike’s perspective on the topic of Hell?2. 26:14 {Marriage, Heaven & Vows} Regarding 1 Timothy 5:11-12, if there is no marriage in Heaven, and when a spouse dies we’re free to remarry, how then does a young widow break her first vow?3. 33:34 {Purpose of the Tree of Life} If we were created as eternal beings, then what purpose did the Tree of Life hold in the Garden of Eden?4. 36:00 {Matthew 6 – But Poverty?} How do we reconcile Matthew 6:25-33 with the reality of poverty? I'm comfortable saying "even He doesn't, God is still good" but this passage sounds almost Word-of-Faith.5. 44:13 {Purgatory in the Book of Matthew?} I've been curious about the word “until” or “till” in Matthew 18:34. Does this imply purgatory?6. 50:57 {Jesus Given a Higher Name?} New believer here, and my question is, since Jesus is YHWH, why is He given the name above every other name in Philippians 2? What does that mean?7. 56:46 {Can All Believers Prophesy?} Does 1 Corinthians 14:31 mean all believers can prophesy? If all can teach in some way without being teachers (i.e., teaching their children), can all prophesy without being prophets?8. 59:37 {Hyperbole in Scripture} The Sermon on the Mount has some hyperbole (cut off your hand). How do you know what is hyperbole and what isn't, specifically regarding anger?9. 1:05:08 {Does God Use our Sin?} Do you believe that God uses the consequences/results of a sin for His own purposes, like a one night stand resulting in a child? A reference could be Joseph and his brothers.10. 1:08:07 {How/Why was Jesus Amazed?} Matthew 8:5-13 says that Jesus was amazed at the centurion's faith. In other places in the New Testament, Jesus knew the thoughts of the Pharisees. If Jesus could read thoughts, how could He be amazed? Kirk Cameron's recent video has been like a match to dry grass, igniting a debate about Hell that has been building for some time now. Since a number of people are putting my name in the mix (and misunderstanding my own position), I want to bring clarity and also offer some advice for us all to lower the temperature on Hell. Sorry, the puns just come. https://BibleThinker.org

Letter to Congress and senate: Subject: Please Defend Persecuted Christians in Nigeria, Stop the Coming Massacre, and Get Mark Walker Appointed as Religious Freedom Ambassador. Dear [Congressman/Senator] [Last Name], Credible reports state that there is a coming massacre of Christians by Fulani Ethnic militia who are planning to hit on or before Christmas, the towns of Riyom, and Bokkos in Plateau State and in Kafanchan in Kaduna State, and in Agatu in Benue State. See TruthNigeria.com for details. Do something to stop the coming Christmas massacre in Nigeria and protect persecuted Christians there. Get Mark Walker an immediate hearing to be appointed as the ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom. If he fills that position he could help the situation and he has been denied a hearing for 8 months now, even though Trump appointed him. https://equippingthepersecuted.org/ My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:14 {Biblical Thoughts on Giving} Analyzing Pastor Marvin Winans’ giving service.2. 33:10 {Israel: Right to the Holy Land?} Hi Mike, in your view, does ethnic Israel have a divine right to the Holy Land today, according to Scripture?3. 51:37 {How to Serve the Lord} How do we serve the Lord, biblically? Sometimes I feel like I don't know how to serve the Lord.4. 53:55 {Finding Our Identity?} Can you explain the trend about finding our true identity? Jamie Winship and others talk about knowing your true identity. Is it more specific than who we are in Christ (i.e., that we’re redeemed, etc.)?5. 59:30 {The Minimum to Be Saved?} What's the minimum one must believe to be saved? Romans 10:9? But anything else? What about polytheists who believe it? Or if someone said, "Yes, Lord Jesus died and rose, but His death wasn't for our sin"?6. 1:03:49 {Impassability – Does God Have Emotions?} Could you help me understand impassability? I’ve heard that God doesn’t have emotions, meaning we can’t move God to “feel.” What about Deuteronomy 32:21 which sounds like we can move God to feel things?7. 1:09:47 {Discouraged by Free Will} My son is bothered by free will because it causes so much pain and suffering and that God foreknew we would sin. How can I encourage him?8. 1:14:41 {Developing Belief as an Analytical Person} How do I develop a belief in Christianity? It feels very difficult as an analytical person. I’ve been looking into apologetics but still can't develop faith and I strongly want to live righteously.9. 1:20:35 {Trusting God While Questions Linger} I keep thinking I’ll trust God easier if I get more questions about God answered. But I’m sad about things like unmet godly desires. Remembering God’s promises doesn’t help. How do I fix this?10.1:25:45 {No Sin After Salvation?} I have difficulty knowing what the Bible means when it says that someone who sins after being saved was never saved. I know that’s a very simplistic version, but it has always caused me anxiety. The full Marvin Winans Giving Day service is viewable here.  My website: https://BibleThinker.org

There is an information war going on about Nigeria right now. While persecution has intensified, we are flooded with lies about how there simply is no Christian persecution by Muslims in Nigeria. Completely deceptive propagandists are appearing all over, including one platformed by Tucker Carlson recently, who denied the truth about Christian persecution. Yet, just this last week we've seen 300 kids kidnapped, one church assaulted during a live stream of their services, and another incident of 50 kids being kidnapped, all due to Muslim violence and terror squads.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Intro1. 0:16 {God’s Presence Upon Death?} Will we see God right away when we die?2. 12:33 {Churches Promoting Events w/Drinking?} Should churches publicly promote local events involving alcohol? It seems unwise and inconsiderate toward those with weaker consciences. Some say we shouldn't legalistically refuse to advertise these opportunities for fellowship since drinking in moderation isn't sinful. Thoughts?3. 25:34 {Hating vs. Loving Evildoers} Psalm 139:21-22 and Psalm 5:5 seem to imply it is good to hate evil people who oppose God, but Matthew 5:43-48 seems to encourage the opposite. Where is the proper balance between these things? Thanks!4. 34:29 {Sin Struggles = Double Minded?} What's the difference between being a double-minded man (James 1:8) and being a sincere Christian struggling with sin and the flesh's love for sinful things (Romans 7:14-25)? Can you draw a distinction?5. 42:02 {Wrath: An Attribute of God?} Do you think "wrathfulness" is an attribute of God, or that wrath is just a practical outworking of His attributes of justice and holiness?6. 45:29 {New Christian Channel: Am I Ready?} How much planning should a person do before starting a Christian channel? How do you know when you’re ready and it’s time to post your first video?7. 49:05 {Adam’s 930 Years} Could Genesis 5:5 mean Adam’s 930 years began after the Fall, so he and Eve lived much longer in the Garden? Romans 5:12 says death came through sin; did Adam start dying then?8. 51:09 {Family Member Teaching Falsely: Help!} How do we deal with a family member (brother) who is actively teaching a false gospel (Hebrew Roots but Jesus is not God)? He has started his own group in person and is also sharing online.9. 56:06 {Specific Prayers: Controlling God?} When we pray, should we be specific? Or is that trying to control God?10. 59:06 {How to Stop Scrolling So Much!} In a generation that grew up scrolling, how can we overcome it? It’s not inherently sinful, but it sucks up so much of our time today. Biblical advice on this?

The government is aiding in the massacre of Christians in Nigeria, coordinating with news orgs to cover it up, and we can help stop it. Find proof, updates, and support the cause at https://EquippingThePersecuted.org How to advocate through the U.S. government...Go to https://Congress.govScroll down and enter your state.Send a letter like this to each of your representatives: Letter to Congress and senate: Subject: Please Support H. Res. 220 and S. 2747 to Defend Persecuted Christians in Nigeria Dear [Congressman/Senator] [Last Name], I am writing to urge you to take immediate action on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria, who are enduring one of the worst humanitarian and religious freedom crises in the world today. Thousands of Christians have been slaughtered, kidnapped, raped, and displaced by radical Islamist terrorists. Entire villages are being wiped out while the Nigerian government turns a blind eye—or, in some cases, is complicit in these atrocities. The United States must not remain silent in the face of such evil. I strongly urge you to: Support and co-sponsor H. Res. 220, introduced by Congressman Chris Smith, which calls on the U.S. Department of State to re-designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for its severe violations of religious freedom. Support and co-sponsor S. 2747, Senator Ted Cruz’s Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which would impose targeted sanctions on Nigerian government officials who enable or ignore persecution and human rights abuses. Designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and enforcing targeted sanctions are critical first steps in holding the Nigerian government accountable and protecting vulnerable Christian communities. These measures will help ensure that U.S. foreign policy truly reflects our nation’s commitment to religious liberty, justice, and human dignity. Please stand with the persecuted, and let your voice be one of moral leadership and courage in defense of the innocent. Thank you for your time, compassion, and commitment to defending freedom and human rights. Sincerely,[Your Full Name][City, State][Email Address or Phone Number (optional)]
