  • Krista arrival

    Krista will be an interesting addition. Based on the giddiness displayed in this podcast, I wonder if she will be able to understand the profoundness of the mantle being placed on her. This has not been a ministry of sound bites, cute slogans and t-shirts. May it never become such. I pray Deut. 28:1-14 blessings upon you, avoiding all curses found in Deut. 16-58.

  • Julie gets to the bottom for truth

    I really appreciate the effort Julie puts into getting ALL of the truth she can before reporting, including attempting to get all sides of a story. The things she exposes are so important to know before we support some of these people and organizations. We should know what we're supporting and transparent should be present. I love this podcast. I just wish all of the ones on YouTube were posted to audible as well

Those who criticize Julie often seem to be aiming confusedly at the messenger instead of at the criminals themselves.

    And I thank God for my own father— a godly Baptist pastor who passe... more

Calvary Chapel Pays Survivor $12 Million
Q: Why was the defense of truth used in the underlying defamation case, and what was the outcome?
The defense argued that statements labeling Harmon as a rapist were true based on witness testimony, which led to a trial where the defense prevailed on the affirmative defense of truth.
Calvary Chapel Pays Survivor $12 Million
Q: What were the major red flags that the church ignored early on regarding Harmon's past?
We discuss multiple anonymous complaints, documented violence, DUI arrests, and aggressive behavior toward parents and students, all of which suggest a pattern that the church failed to address appropriately.
