So here we are again in my backyard on this beautiful fall day as I represent to you

part two of the most listened to episode in the Heaven Bent archive. This was bonus content

from season four, which is right now marking its two-year anniversary.

But before we revisit this powerful episode, know that I've also released a brand new

season four bonus episode that fills you basically in on all the developments that have

taken place with this story over the

last two years. Thank you so much for listening. And I hope you'll, I don't know, maybe you'll

share this with any church leaders you know who could benefit from hearing about the grooming

methods that can take place in a church environment.

Listener discretion is advised.

This is Heaven Bent. I'm Tara Jean Stevens.

Season 4, bonus episode 6. And welcome to part two,

as we hear a firsthand account from one of Mike Bickle's alleged victims, Mike Bickle, the founding

leader of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri. So 14 years old, 15, 16, I was constantly hearing, you're a tool, you're a tool, you're a tool in the hand of God.

And that again was Tammy Woods.

In part one, she told us that in the early 80s, Mike was her family's pastor,

and that he groomed and sexually abused her starting when she was 14,

and he hired her to babysit as young boys.

That was in St. Louis, and that leg of her story was from 14 years old to 16.

And as a young girl and as a young believer, that declaration of you're a tool, you know,

it distorts your perceived worth.

It would have almost been better if he had said, you know, you're a tool in the hand of the enemy.
