Thank you Paul.
I do miss Paul Crouch Jr I always wondered what had happened to him I knew he left I wasn't sure of why but now everything makes sense to me
I never knew any of this. But--Whenever I see Matt on the program I have always had a terrible feeling in my gut that something is not right with this man. A terrible check in my spirit.
I have the same check in my gut whenever I see or hear his name mention.
You are not alone. I use to have that feeling every time I would see him hold the mic for Paul Sr, pretending to be interested in what he was saying, I knew then. And then you did not see PJ anymore, I knew something happened.
And then I read about the lawsuit about PJ daughter, Jan blaming her. And that day Paul Sr prayed over Matt when he handed TBN over to him. I stood in front of the tv I was not at ease, I have been telling my family for years. And I said he is going to change things, how far will he go ?
I never been comfortable with Matt, I don't watch it much. The only thing that is consistent with him is change and mess. So many changes because there is mess. TBN is not stable. He has to much junk up there, the stuff he enjoys, which does not have to much or anything to do with the Lord.
Matt once said he does not sing or anything like that. He said his wife is the one in the family that does that. Well his wife cannot praise God for him. He sits there with not much emotion, is he trying to be cool or is it the fact there is nothing there ? I don't know how one can be of God and never sing His praises or get emotional about the KING of glory. Matt keeps the same game face, say the same thing. I guess him saying come on, when someone is speaking is his best.
I always said it probably would of been better with PJ. Some people I spoke with forgot about PJ. They would say they have another son ? I said yes his name is Paul Jr, he use to be up there. I've seen PJ on Daystar celebrating something with them. I would say he can't even go on the network in which his parents created.
Daystar has changed some since Marcus has been gone, as well. And not for the better.
As we get closer to Christ Jesus return these things will happen. Some might start with you, but not all will finish with you, sad.
🙏🙏🙏
@@ariel393939 too much inter fighting going on. Greed! The biggest problem is the station has Joel Osteen on and now I know for sure that it's not good. I think now it's time to think about TBN taking government money like Joel did.
Yes…I quit watching many years ago.
@@charlotter8276 trust me, there is good reason for it. We will find out more here very soon
As a long time sober AA member I relate to how hard you worked on your dad. Too many christians do not take advantage of proven secular therapy and recovery. Prayer saved me but the person who's been sober 37 years needed all the help I could get and God provided for me. Good luck to you sir
Only a relationship with God like Paul Jr. has can keep you from becoming/being bitter. I watched TBN from the beginning in 1973 up until the time I read an article in the LA Times published around 2003. Recently, while I was channel surfing, I came across TBN and watched for a while; it appears to be a shell of itself. The wrong son is running it.
I had discernment for that show many years ago and didn't know why.
The Crouch's like to travel. They have gone way beyond Billy Graham. I cant get into the money grubbing lifestyle made on a stack of Bibles. Jan was once plastered on a segment where she replied sarcastically to a guest. When they repeated that episode that segment was edited out.
I am very glad that you are very honest with us 🎉
Man & Woman of God, We Love You and Stand with You, Brenda and Brandon as you step out into greater things. Will be Praying and Support the new Network.
It truly doesn't matter what I say, but I believe every word of Paul Crouch Jr. said, he always appeared to be a sincere man of God and we all fall short.
God restores what the enemy has stolen speak the truth my friend and thank God for your father for millions in addiction have been set free that is what the gospel is about Amen
Thanks Paul for your time at TBN. TBN was always a blessing for me. Like all families, we always fight and have sins, but during that time I know God was showing grace. I always watch your programs and appreciate the new ways you find to spread the message. I hope someday forgiveness and peace will surround your whole family again.
Thank you for sharing... I knew something was terribly wrong when Paul Jr. left. He was my favorite because of his authentic, humble spirit. TBN has not been the same since.
TBN is about hocking vitamins and seeing where the Crouches get to open up yet another satellite to collect money on and yet they also became publishers. How many books do they get a cut on? How can there be a book of the week!! no of the day??? Fabulously wealthy on a stack of bibles.
Sunshine is the best antiseptic. It is time for judgment to begin with the house of God. We have compassion for all involved, including those who were weak in alcoholism and sexual sin. May the Lord restore everything the enemy stole from this family.
I believe this is the truth. A similar thing happened in my family, and I know the pain of the denial you get from the person you are trying to help...as well as them being untruthful and turning others against you. Thank you for sharing this in the right spirit. Your sober attitudes and tears reveal you are in the godly position. Praying for Cara to continue to heal from the betrayal by many. God bless you for sticking by her.
So thankful for PJ heart. I was a past employee of TBN. I worked in the prayer call center as a lead. Matt Crouch was the most corrupt leader I ever worked for. Matt treats his employees horribly, there was so much abuse and toxicity within the departments. Unfortunately Matt has narcissistic tendencies and is very arrogant. He sees his employee’s as a liability not an asset.PJ has such a servants heart. It brings such confirmation to all the hurt and pain I experienced as a employee. Thank you again for you’re strength and courage.
I sympathize with you and I believe you. I am glad about some things Matt has done, like getting Benny Hinn and Paula White off the air and getting rid of the disgraceful telethons
I once heard Paul Jr say on the air that Tammy Faye Bakker had been the biggest spiritual influence on his life. I was astonished
because I had a pretty low opinion of her. But it seemed to indicate that he didn't get anything from his parents spiritually
So it is not surprising that Matt turned out badly
@@conceptualclarityEspecially after she did the TV series with the Porn King Ron Jeremy. Queen Jezebels rule in the church today.
I read all about this on the internet. How could Matt turn on his blood brother. I stopped watching it aftet I had read full research on Kari's testimony in court. I am glad that Paul Jr moved on. God bless him and his family and for standing up for his family.
Paul Crouch Jr I have often wondered were you went and I'm glad you told this I'm like your wife I'm so proud of you that your still going for the Lord.love you and your wife
I enjoyed Paul Jr. on TBN because his heart came through as a kind peaceful and humble man. His voice was soothing and felt so close to the Lord. I really stopped watching afterwards. So glad God is blessing him and rewarding him with new platforms. This may be where God wanted him all along.
We watched TBN for years, and my son warned us, God told him, He is soon going to shake TBN!
Thank you for sharing this Paul Jr., you stood up for what was right. God bless you and especially your daughter Kara and everything she went through.
Oh Paul! I’ve missed your anointed presence on TBN🖐🏽Yet, in hearing a little of what you shared, the scripture came to me about Noah’s son Ham who found him drunk and naked. Instead of covering him, he told his brothers who were outside who covered Noah…Oh brother, I will pray for healing, restoration and reconciliation in your family🙏🏽♥️
Paul and Jan were responsible for the whole world’s soul!
Noah’s son wasn’t!!
It is a totally different
Responsibility for Paul Jr!
A COVER-UP did not
Help anyone!!
Too bad NO-ONE WAS HELPED!
Totally out of context. Paul Senior was a drunk, and his son tried many times to help his dad. Noah was a one time issue. Comment from the Dunning Kruger Church Society where you don't have to be a member with a IQ to join.
Our youth need to see Truth holiness and a shifting there wounds are so great with authority and we need to pray back back back back to God ..Amen
The prophets have said much will be exposed and we won't like it all and will be shocked at some! This is an example of it. I didn't see this coming, but the church is being cleansed! God bless those whom He sends to expose in order to ultimately get His work accomplished! It can't be an easy task for them!
Are you referring to the Prophets in the bible ?
@@ariel393939 Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)÷
Paul Crouch Sr would have lost his ministry license for all this back in 2012. Not sure about this. And why didn't your wife know something different about you daughter when rape 13.
- the church is being cleansed? That's like trying to clean up an outdoor privy that's been in use for many years.
Never felt good about Matt.. I want you to know Paul that on my book, you are a hero
I am so glad God guided me to this channel today. I will be following your ministry.
me to
Can’t imagine your pain, Paul. I know it wasn’t easy. I pray you are continuing to heal. I was so sad that you left. I knew TBN would not be the same. Thank you for opening up and telling what you went through regarding your mom and dad. The fact that you did what you did means you are the healthier of the family and you have integrity. I hope and pray your daughter is doing well and healing. God bless you and your beautiful wife.👑
Amen to that
God bless yoy Paul jr and your fathers memory Amen 🙏 pray we got to keep on praying 🙏 Amen I'm so sorry for what you have suffered
Lord bless you guys for speaking truth. It's the best thing that Father pulled you out of their. I hope and pray that those who covered up the lies repent because the exposing won't be pretty if they don't. Thank you for sharing your story and Father is going to use you and bring you to the forefront of Christian TV. I speak life to your daughter.
Thanks!
I cant imagine the spiritual pressure that would lead to such moral failures as a leader. It is heartbreaking.
It doesn't change the word of God... God's word will accomplish what he pleases...
I pray healing for this family.
So sad. Many would say why now all this is coming out and why at all? This is the problem with the church today. We see sin and are expected to keep quiet and say in God's timing it will be exposed. To everything there is a time and season..... This must have been really difficult to go through and to speak about. God's grace PJ. Jehovah is shaking the Church. Too much sin in the church and so many more Christians will be exposed. I feel so sorry for you Paul Jr and family. God always provides for his children. Blessing Paul Jr. and family it is your time now. Shine for Jesus and make a difference in the world. God will recompense. Blessings
I miss you Paul Jr. and things were just never the same without you. And so, when you weren’t there anymore, well, I just knew something was missing and the TBN program never was the same since then. To me, you were the - REAL DEAL- and so, ever since then I’ve never been back and like the old saying goes-“All’s well that ends well, I guess “-even though that might not be the case in this situation. So, the next best thing is, leave it in the hands of G-d - Amen and Shalom.
I watched TBN occasionally for a short time back in the late 70’s and early 80’s and felt that Jan and Paul Crouch were charlatans. Many of their “name it and claim it” guests were a real turnoff. Unsound teaching and not Biblical. The focus was always on money. So, I’m not surprised to hear about this news. Their show did open my eyes as to whose teachings I should stay away from and what was happening with evangelism in the churches. I was looking for a better walk with the Lord and He led me to walk away from the TV evangelists! All I really need is scripture. The ACTUAL word of God!
I always knew something was very wrong. I am sorry this happened. But the truth will out. God bless and reward those who stand for truth and righteousness. The Lord makes up the difference. He heals hearts.
No one is perfect but God’s perfect law is and so is Jesus.
I understand why Paul shared his story as a supporter of his pop’s. 😢
But I am grateful for what Paul Sr and Jan did in order to do the work of the Lord. Like King David, the Crouch Senior’s weren’t perfect but I do thank God for their contributions.
Thank you also to Paul Jr., for trying to make sure everything was done the right way.
THANK YOU FOR THE truth. God bless you both.
Non of us are perfect people. We have all fallen short. We keep our eyes on Jesus. Thank you Paul junior and Brenda for your sacrifice and faithfulness. We love you and your family. Love and prayers. ❤️🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
I am so very sad to hear this, but I'm not surprised. This, of course, doesn't take away from the good that Paul & Jan did. They were human.
My memory is a bit hazy on this, but many years ago I believe Jack Van Impe and maybe Hal Lindsey spoke of their disagreement with how Matt Crouch and Jan were 'taking over' TBN.
Didn't Matt did not allow Hall Lindsey to return to TBN. They certainly did not extend his contract.
Jack Van Impe was let go when Matt took over.
I believe they were both axed. Matt did not want end times discussed was my understanding. THAT shows where his heart is. I don't think he's deep with the Lord or His Word.
Unfortunately you're right brother. They wanted brothers van impe and hal Lindsey to take "it easy" on Arab Islamic leaders etc.
I stopped sending money to tbn when the crouches were still alive,then eventually stopped watching that network
I do not know about anybody else but I was like glued to the story. When he said Jan was kissing Jesus I was like nawh Jan I need popcorn for this yall. You know sometimes it is best to love your family from a far. Peace is more important than anyother thing that you can image. Honestly, even the music at the end of the video, I am totally looking for part 2 of this thing.
I knew there were problems, but I loved Paul Crouch Sr. because of his love for the word of God. I pray that as you pray for each other that forgiveness and the love of God can mend your hearts.
Sadly in the 90s i worked at Sears.. I got back from my lunch break to see a limo in the lot. Wondering who, but didnt have to wait long. I worked in sporting goods and in a lil alcove was Jan with a young man kissing. II was shocked. for years no one believed me so i let it go till i saw this video affirming what I saw.
I stopped watching TBN when Matt and his wife took center stage. I did not discern a true deep relationship with Jesus in him. Thought he was shallow. He was ignorant on the return of Jesus which tells me he's more interested in the world. I don't have much of an impression of his wife. Matt reminded me of a spoiled and coddled son. Paul Jr seemed to have the spirit of Jesus on him. We most certainly are to discern who's words we are giving our time and attention to.
what happened to PJs first marrage ? I watched TBN for years and years until Jan died , I never watch Matt and Lorie, something is not right there
God doesn’t have a timeline of when the truth will come forth… But this I know is that it will come forth!!! Prayers for the family 🙏❤️
So sorry to hear that & prayed for God to heal his pain & restoration in his life.
WOW. I had no idea! I was sad when he left & sad when his first marriage ended
Hello Paul, I loved your story because I grew up as a baby Christian watching TBN starting 30 plus years ago. My wife and I now have a very small ministry in the Philippines with a small youtube channel, desiring to make as big as impact for Jesus as we can. We only have 2 small Hidef handheld camcorders and are doing the best we know how. Is there anyone who can help us create the best video quality possible? I have tried to do some research but am very limited in my understanding on what we equipment we should start out with. I am not asking for any kind of hand out or anything, just technical assistance and what is best for our budget. We do both wireless and wired recording. Any help you can offer would be very grateful. Thank you. Mark
Paul is telling the truth. Trust me. Neither Jan nor Paul were saints. They still did great things for God. Paul was a true pioneer. This young man needs your prayers not put downs. There’s two sides to every story. Those of us in Nashville knew this. Only God knows the dynamics of a family. He was mistreated. I pray he will move forward and be the man he is. Matt welll he needs a lot of prayers
One of the things they changed was our Old TBN website with all those archived Praise the lord programs which we cant access now....sad!
What happened to Paul is happening to Jonathan and Suzy Lamb. ❤
God knew her moment my friend couldn't get to her he was in Texas she in CA but God sent her nephews father who just gotten saved her led my friends mom to christ and she made it to heaven this is the power of salvation this is why we do whst we do its their souls Amen
Satan will always try to destroy the truthful we must pray for them all
Wow I didn’t know. Sorry to hear.
This is very humbling to learn of what Matt did to his Brother Paul Crouch Jr. Getting rid of your own brother at every cost. That is evil. I identify with Paul Crouch Jr. I was trained by Archbishop Benson Idahosa in Nigeria After Training for two years left Nigeria for my Native country of ZAMBIA. I Started a Church with 6 People growing to 500. I got Five Acres of Land. Built a Bible School trained 800 Pastors. Traveled around the world Preaching. Then Moved to the USA. My Family, my Ex-wife and kids took over the ministry. My Son's In-law schemed and took me out of the Ministry. Luke Firing me. I couldn't believe it.. All the Grace brother Paul Crouch Jr. You will see Success in its Fullness. God will Bless Your Work. He is Mighty. He will Bless and has already done so
I stopped watching TBN long ago, and I think of all the harm they've done with the false teaching, and outright heresy that flows through that network. But I am sorry for the troubles that Crouch's family has experienced. It's a difficult way to walk.
So sorry love you both prude of both of you
Alcoholism and drug addiction is a horrible thing. I grew up with it, however my home didn't have God in it. But it's kinda hard to have God in your home when you have opened the door to the devil. I am sorry for your pain. The only thing you can do is forgive and let God heal you and your family.
I think they were in family owned business,not pastors and the real pastors never saw this mess.what happens to the monies they asked followers to support evangelising?Just asking.
Wow, this is almost exactly the same story that happened at Daystar in a way
You could tell it was a painful thing for this man to do. Many others currently playacting will be exposed later. Jacob Prasch did talk about many of these people long ago
I love TBN and I will always love it and I love Paul and Jan and all the TBN family this minister brought so many people to Christ I don't believe the lies
Hello Crouch family,
I'm so sorry this happened to everyone. I've been a believer in Jesus for over 50 years, and I've had plenty of clients with substance abuse issues.
One question though, which is off topic:
My wife is buried at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona Del Mar. I know where the crypt of Paul and Jan Crouch is. Why is it still unmarked after almost 10 years?
Jan and Paul lived separately in two different houses. Paul was an alcoholic and was bisexual. Jan had several lovers and had a child with a man named Richard DuBois who had been one of Mae Wests muscle men in her stage show. He later became a minister himself. One of her sons is the product of this relationship.
you of all people should know that the only way to solve any of this is with prayer. bless you
Maybe you can be a supportive voice for Jonathan and Suzy Lamb.
Blessings and healing ❤️🩹 grace and peace upon your house 🏠 joy of the Lord Jesus Christ be yours and a beautiful wondrous miraculous New Year !!! Love you Paul … you are a good son.
Outstanding transparency and truth. Shame that TBN covered all this.
In this flesh are many troubles
I remember those times with Paul and his dad. Always thought something was wrong .
So hard to do…. To confront people in love the way the Bible tells us to. I admire you for being willing to do this; we need more of it in the church today, to stand for God’s truth in the face of false doctrine in the world.
I like many knew that Paul Jr should have succeeded his dad. I haven't watched TBN for years and it was my favorite Christian program.
Wow
Wow!
I don't watch TBN much anymore only to see Huckabee and the other Crouch son and his wife I really don't care for I never have trusted them for some reason I don't know maybe it's just me
TBN & Daystar are blessing people all around the world.
TBN is no where near the station it used to be. I just can’t watch it anymore. No anointing no power as it used to be. Matt & Laurie have destroyed that station.
Along with mom and pop too
I love Matt and Laurie and TBN and watch it all the time❤❤❤
TBN is a beautiful station to watch. Although they show commercials that have nothing to do with the word of God. I do miss Paul. In the same breath, Daystar does the same thing since Marcus passed away, I miss Jonathan & Suzy & there kids. Change is difficult for all of us. I enjoy both stations, we are blessed to be American's living in the 🇺🇸.
I quit watching TBN a long time ago. We get so wrapped up in tv ministry and the leaders that its all about prosperity and big houses and lots of money.God help us all. We need to study Gods word for ourselves.seek God for ourselves. Yes judgment will begin in the house of the lord first..tv ministers have totally has definitely left a bad feeling in my spirit. So many are going to be fooled before the lord comes back
The captives to be set free thats what the gospel is about to set them free now my daughter and my son in law are pastors thanks to yoyr father and millions have been set free that my friend is Gosepel set them free tome is short Christ is coming soon we need to be ready truth prevail these are the last days Amen God bless yoy jp if it wasn't for your father millions wouldn't have been set free he waz true pioneer and so are you .
Wow! I didn't know this. I still watch TBN. Not everyone or everything. I pick and choose. Was never impressed with the mother and father. I do admire Paul Jr for taking such a stand. I know it has to be painful for him.

To get more of the story read the Wikipedia article on Brittany Koper, Paul Crouch Jr.'s daughter. TBN was misappropriating funds apparently.
Sounds like Daystar
I can so relate because my dad & his dae were alcoholics. I had No Idea that could make it into Christian Leaders!
When did all this come out?
I could have been vindictive it really hurt my father and I. You see my father is still alive he's 81 my mother died early 60s she favored my brother she wouldn't stop and allow us my brother and I just work together and my brother benefited so he didn't care that my mother was still hurting broken it's just sick you didn't care. My dad was going to make me administrative pastor and she told my wife well that may not be what God wants and they give my dad the senior pastor it's our church and we'll do what we want to do with it I believe that was after he retired. I walked away from what I thought was a million dollars in Bedford Texas... here is what nobody knew but my father. He still had the authority eventually he had to my brother got dementia in the church that he was supposed to take care of fell in disrepair sold. I don't have a relationship I said my peace with my family everyone of my mother's Family understood what happened what happened and why my mother why my mother behave that way the first born should be treated like a firstborn you can't have that and work together. My grandfather would not acknowledge the sin and ask my mother for forgiveness even after I explained how it messed my brother and I up. When I confronted him and he said no I told him that I would after he's gone have to deal with this problem and I did I dropped it and I walked away from the family. I believe whatever I lose in this world if they are in Christ I will have them back. I am proud the way you handle you have my respect. It does make me wonder how many messed up families and Ministries you know what the word says there was criteria for certain work inside the church in the New Testament and in the old God chose Abraham because he would command his children. As a loving father he took care of his family.
This man is in my prayers. Even though Jesus said "go and sin no more", this is not what happens to anyone except Jesus himself. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". this is used in the past tense but in reality, we continue to "fall short". Being a Christen means constantly trying to grow in our relationship with the Lord. God says when we are first "born again" we are like babies that require only milk, but as we grow and feed on the word we mature as Christens. We Christens sin almost every day. We are not superior but simply fighting the same battles against Satan as none Christens.
I believe that this is why the bible was written showing the flaws in the men and women who were depicted there. Almost all, with the exception of maybe Job, showed weakness when it came to resisting sin and following God's word. That is not to say we celebrate sin but it means we show compassion for others that are fighting these demons. We, Christens, hope through reading the word, walking closely with Jesus, and following his commandments, we can have his help to fight sin.
I do feel now that TBN is allowing adverting it is fast going downhill. It is, in my opinion, a step in the wrong direction. Time after time people stated that they came upon TBN while "channel surfing" and they stopped to watch. With ever-increasing advertisement time slots, who knows how many people have just surfed right by and TBN failed to hold their attention. It is a very questionable decision in my view. I also noticed that the number of advertisers is increasing at an alarming rate. They are going the way of cable TV. When they first came up with cable (before that you got few channels but they were free), the big draw was they are without advertising. People paid to subscribe to have more channels and avoid advertising. They slowly begin to sneak advertising in more and more until now a half-hour program has about 15 minutes taken up with ads. They, TBN, are going down that same slippery slope. It kind of reminds me of the money changers Jesus drove out of the temple.
Matt always has foot in mouth disease, my narc ex had that too. I am pretty sure Paul Sr. suffered from his codependency and covering for his wife's indiscretions big time.
WHAT PAUL SR'S AN Acolocolic?
I used to watch TBN practically every evening. I know they both laughed often, but Paul didn't look drunk. Shame on you for even talking about this on social media. His health deteriorated because of the family feud.
And paul jr hadn't given our church thst opportunity when he did who knows where these souls would have been Amen time is short shorter than we think ans we must get back to God
Incredible how the story repeats himself and the devil shows his space in such similar ways
You are a good man, PJ. We love you. Matt has a demon in him. Your wife is lovely!¡
Did you seek God's help in all of this? Seems the first thing to do to is ask for his help and guidance. I didn't hear God mentioned at all in this interview. Not condemning you but if you are a christian organization that should have been top priority.
1:14 he was drunk but not with Gods spirit. Sad
Your Dad God bless his heart gave our chur h a chance now millions have been set free from drugs addictions so much if it was for your dad we would of not had thet chance sorak the truth friend God is holy and not stooped beibg holy Amen
Any time I tuned in to TBN, I could always sense something was inwardly wrong with Paul & Jan Crouch. I could not discern what it was, but there was dysfunction. There was a darkness being hidden and yet seeping through their personas.
The only thing that bothers me about all the videos of Paul Jr. Is how he talks about who he associates with now. Prosperity preachers and how all this affects him and his family.. Paul you did the right thing standing up for your daughter but why are you following those leading millions to Hell.? To me this is worse than anything else. Narrow is the way...remember
So does Matt own TBN? I wonder that everytime, I watch TBN.
