Show Transcript

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ__nNonBWcOver the past year, The Roys Report grew exponentially following in-depth investigations on several fronts—from the cultic church Mark Driscoll is running in Arizona, to pressure exerted on Naghmeh Panahi to salvage the #SaveSaeed movement, to inside reports from RZIM and John MacArthur’s ministries. 

In this special ‘Best of 2021’ edition of The Roys Report, you’ll hear excerpts from our most popular podcasts of the year. 

These include firsthand accounts of Mark Driscoll’s abuse and control from the former head of security at Driscoll’s The Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. You’ll also hear how Franklin Graham pressured Naghmeh Panahi to reconcile with her abusive husband, Pastor Saeed, despite Saeed’s threats to harm Naghmeh and take her children.

In another TRR exclusive, a former insider at Ravi Zacharias International Ministries explains what really happened behind-the-scenes at RZIM and why apologies from current RZIM leaders ring hollow.

And in one of our most-shared interviews, a woman who grew up in Bill Gothard’s homeschool community exposes the patriarchal system behind the Josh Duggar scandal. On a related theme, author Rebecca Davis shares what the Bible really says about patriarchy. 

Finally, a former vice president at The Master’s Seminary shares why he believes John MacArthur has never actually written a book. He also exposes the culture of fear, intimidation, and spiritual abuse prevalent at MacArthur’s school and ministries. 

Tune in for these and other highlights from a crucial year of reporting the truth and restoring the church!
