I appreciate your transparency in sharing your experiences. I hope and pray everything that needs to be exposed and dealt with concerning IHOPKC, MB and all those involved will be exposed. I pray the Lord helps and heals all those who have been damaged by their experiences there. You are very well spoken in your videos.
From someone who has experienced SA from within a religious cult, what you shared and how you shared it was so authentic, I could relate to it. Thank you for the video. Last year, I was attending a Vineyard church for a while and they had a couple of MB's books out on their library table. I took "After God's Own Heart" home and really enjoyed the first chapter. Soon after that, MB mentions how he began IHOPKC in 1999, and I decided to google it to learn more about it and if there were any controversies surrounding it. That's how I began reading the testimonies of young people who shared the hurt they experienced at IHOPKC because of their cult-like practices. The stories were very similar to what I and others experienced in the group I had been involved with for so many years. I went to the pastor of the church quite emotional about what I had learned and was hoping MB's books would be removed from the library. After a couple of months of him being unwilling to accept the seriousness of what I was sharing with him about IHOPKC as well as my own personal questions and concerns about MB's teaching on the "Bridal paradigm," I ended up leaving the church. When I was told in November about the accusations of sexual misconduct by MB, I remember putting my head in my hands and feeling so grieved that the abuse had reached this horrible height as it had with my ministry. It validated though the testimonies I had read online, and his abuse becoming public in such a major way was a positive. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I can't begin to explain, I don't know why I feel like saying this here, and yet I do. I don't want to go into detail...I don't want to bring up old wounds, but a memory came to me that never left me of how badly I had treated someone. I had never been like that before, even in my darkest days. She told me of things that were happening in her life and I listened. I won't go farther except to say that I so wanted to apologize the next day. Of course, I understood her reaction and given the shoe on the other foot...I still feel so badly about that day. I told my sister-in-law about it and how badly I felt about what I had done. In the way of confessions, she told me a dark secret of hers. God forgive us for all the deepest mistakes we have made!
The Para-church ministries at large have had all of these ISSUES for Decades. It’s time to find another form of structure that does not put all of the young kids together without the hard job Of setting boundaries that are never in place. Never works these communities. Always causes major sexual problems and failures dealing with them. Do Not go get involved with Para-church ministries if you are not Tough As Nails. I’m serious.
Advice worth heeding - and I'd say, don't do it if you ARE tough as nails, either, as then they'll work harder to try to break you. Just don't do it at all.

GOD Bless, young lady for advocating for those whom were harmed by these false teachers/predators.
Recommend ‘The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse’ by David Johnson & Jeff VanVonderen. Your honest assessments are helping many.
If you are familiar with By Their Fruit, she read that recently and has shared selections from it with me! Good stuff.

On your support her I hope she gets her name included in these that are now trying to get something done.
God is vindicating you. Hold on.

@@SieNoel That makes total sense. I have been a carpenter, nails are hard, but they can be broken too!
Every young lady from IHOP seem so sharp. Lot of brain power stuck in that cult.
Old recording, considering "merry christmas, everyone"?
Yes, Klaus, I noted in the description this was from Christmas Eve
Barfffffffff
