I recently found out that a number of people that my Charismatic church idolised, or that even I idolised personally, have been found to be scumbags. Not simply "I said something inappropriate in the heat of the moment…how very un-Christ-like of me!"…if that were the worst of it, I would merely say these people were foolish…
This is by no means a comprehensive list or either people or of the bad behaviour of the people I mention. The people I mention are people who were lionised or paraded as good examples by Christian thought leaders I was in touch with during my Christian days. If your favourite preacher isn't on here, then feel free to contact me: @tfadpod, or email me, and be a guest!
In this episode of the podcast, I discuss how a number of figures/thought-leaders that either I personally idolised or that were "approved people" in the eyes of Latter Rain/Pentecostal-style churches turned out to be abusive, insecure, sexually manipulative and more.
