46:44Now PlayingWhen "prophets" fake miracles to protect their power, the church stops looking like Jesus and starts looking like a MAGA rally.

In this interview, former Bethel insider Amy Hawk joins me to expose how the "prophetic" machine around Sean Bolz allegedly used social media data mining, emotional manipulation, and a culture of silence to manufacture miracles and protect the brand.
We walk through how Bethel leaders were warned, why they platformed a false prophet anyway, how "touch not God's anointed" theology suppresses discernment, and why this same authoritarian mindset shows up in Christian support for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. If you've ever wondered how good people get swept into abusive ministries, or why so many churches rally to defend "anointed" leaders instead of vulnerable people, this conversation is for you.
