This video is not for everybody, but it's very important, I think, especially for the charismatic church and for Christians in churches to deal with abuse, fraud, coverup, and the devastating breath of it all.

0:22.6

Sean Bowles, this guy right here, he was my white rabbit.

0:26.6

Okay?

0:27.6

This guy was my white rabbit.

0:29.6

He's the rabbit I chased down the rabbit hole to see how bad things are in cover-up culture

0:33.6

inside the Charismatic Church, the connections to all these different figures

0:38.1

and years of stuff, generations of abusers, fraud, and cover-up in the charismatic church,

0:44.8

Sean Bowles. So you're going to go down the same rabbit hole I went down. This started early

0:50.6

last year, and I've spent the last year dealing with and talking to victims and people who've been hurt and gathering evidence.

0:58.0

I've talked to many of the people that Sean victimized and spiritually abused.

1:02.0

I'm going to be sharing their stories. I have evidence that has never been seen by anybody before.

1:06.0

I've gathered that evidence, and I'm going to be sharing it along with witness testimony from multiple people.

1:17.0

His victims asked me to speak out on their behalf because the leaders in the charismatic church would not. And they participated in my opinion in cover up culture. But that can change. I'm doing

1:22.4

this for the charismatic church. I love you guys. I believe in the gifts. I'll tell you more by that in a

1:26.8

second.

1:31.6

But buckle up because we're going to go deep into the rabbit hole and you need to hear the details because what happens is when someone like Sean is exposed, everybody just washes their

1:36.4

hands of it and acts like they had no part in it. And that's not true. And if we don't show the

1:40.6

connections, then we can't fix the problems. So I've gathered the evidence

1:44.9

that shows how cover-up culture handled it in the charismatic church, not only Sean Bowles, but

1:50.3

many, many other situations. And the elites all knew about it. They knew about Shamboles. The

1:55.4

elites did, and they did nothing as far as warning their people. They left their people in the

1:59.9

dark, people who had been prophesied to, people who have been abused, they just left them alone or in the dark. This is going to be a long video. There will be timestamps down below to try to help you navigate things because it will just get crazier and crazier. I will continue to unpack different scenarios, another witness, a different situation, tying it into another leader. This is just the way it's going to be. I hate this video. I hope you hate it too. This is all lame and terrible. And this is not my normal ministry stuff. I don't plan on continuing doing this forever. I just want to help the situation and then move on to back to Bible studies. That's my plan. So this is the story of lying in the name of God,
