Call 866-34 Truth to get on the line of fire.

And now, here's your host, Dr. Michael Brown.

Thanks, friends, for joining us on what is going to be a very important broadcast today.

It's a broadcast I wish I didn't have to do, but it's essential that we address

these things head on as honestly and candidly as we can. For those who are not aware of what's

been happening, I'll catch you up with it. This is not a show about salacious details or

some investigative reporting. Rather, it is how do we respond to charges

of sexual misconduct and pastoral and prophetic abuse against Mike Bickle, pastor, leader for many

years, highly respected in the charismatic movement and in many parts of the larger church leader in prayer movement

International House of Prayer, birthed out of Kansas City, which has had over 20 plus years,

well over 20 years of consecutive 24-7 worship prayer going up to the throne of God and help

birth prayer houses around the world.

How do we respond to these very serious allegations?

Mike was an esteemed colleague with whom I spent many hours of fellowship and ministry together.

For those of us close to Mike who don't love him, obviously this is a very, very painful topic. I want to say right out of the gate that I am not speaking from some viewpoint of moral superiority or throwing stones, a walk with a limp.

I recognize, and I hope we all do on some level, there I go, but by the grace of God, if, if the charges are all true.

So this is not a time for me to throw stones or to say, ah, look at that.

God forbid any of us have that attitude.
