Inside Gospel Assembly: Authoritarian Doctrine, Abuse, and Escape


Listen Later

John welcomes former Gospel Assembly member Kathleen Baker for an in-depth conversation on the hidden history, doctrines, and authoritarian practices of Gospel Assembly and its founder William Sowders. Together they examine how early Pentecostal movements, end-times urgency, and claims of exclusive truth created systems of control that later echoed through the Latter Rain movement and into modern charismatic expressions.
Kathleen shares firsthand experiences of spiritual abuse, fear-based authority, and the challenges faced by women inside high-control religious environments, while John connects these patterns to broader historical networks involving William Branham, the School of the Prophets, and later movements influencing today's New Apostolic Reformation. The discussion offers historical context, survivor insight, and encouragement for those questioning similar systems.
