� IHOPKC & Behel's Chris Reed & Mike Winger Calls Out Francis Chan… and It’s Serious

Did a trusted voice in the Church help legitimize leaders now surrounded by serious allegations?

In this explosive follow-up, we break down what Bible teacher Mike Winger publicly said about Francis Chan and his endorsements of controversial prophetic figures connected to IHOPKC and beyond.

For years, Francis Chan was widely respected across evangelical and charismatic circles. But according to Winger’s analysis, Chan publicly supported and platformed leaders who would later face deeply troubling accusations and scandals. Instead of warning the Church, critics argue he defended them and even challenged those raising concerns.

This video carefully examines those claims.

We look at:
• Public endorsements Francis Chan gave to figures like Mike Bickle, Chris Reed, and others
• Statements that allegedly discouraged criticism and discernment
• The culture of platforming within the modern prophetic movement
• Whether influential leaders unintentionally helped give credibility to ministries now under scrutiny

All references in this video are drawn from publicly available footage, interviews, and published statements. Any allegations discussed remain allegations unless proven in a court of law. This video is presented as commentary, analysis, and a call for biblical accountability within Christian leadership.

The question is simple but serious:
When major leaders use their influence to endorse others, what responsibility do they carry when those ministries later collapse under scandal?

Watch carefully. Test everything. Hold fast to what is good.

Here is a simple, honest post that does not sound like you are asking for money but gives people the option if they want to help:

Well, this was unexpected. A full crack just went across my entire windshield on the ministry outreach van. It started as a small crack, but after driving through a heavy rainstorm coming home from outreach in Duncan yesterday, it spread right across the whole windshield.

The good news is I do have insurance and an appointment tomorrow for a full replacement. I only have to cover the deductible, which will be about $300. I have it saved and budgeted, so it will get taken care of and I will be back on the road serving.

This van is used every day for ministry, outreach, and connecting with people who are struggling. Yesterday we handed out tarps, gloves, neck warmers, hand warmers, and socks. Right now one of the biggest needs people are asking for is blankets, so that is next on my list to pick up.

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for and support this outreach. If you like to support my outreach link here:

My book is also always a free resource on my website for anyone who needs encouragement or hope. More author copies are finally arriving this week after Amazon lost my last shipment, so I am excited to start giving those out as well.

The outreach in Duncan yesterday went really well 🙏

We had a team of about 12 people serving together, handing out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 🥪, tarps, gloves 🧤, toques, and most importantly warm, dry socks 🧦 for hurting feet. It was a strong and successful outreach. I was able to give out several business cards so I can stay connected long term and help people get into treatment when they are ready.

After the team wrapped up, I went to another area in Duncan on my own and ministered to several more people. I connected with one young man who broke down in tears when I shared my faith and prayed for him. Moments like that remind me why we do this ❤️

Many of the people we met had soaking wet feet. It’s cold, wet, and we’ve even had light snow recently ❄️ I was able to hand out warm sweaters that were donated to the ministry, which was a huge blessing.

My heart is long term advocacy. I gave my card to several young men so they can contact me when they enter treatment. I stay connected. I walk with them. That’s what this ministry is about, one person at a time.

My biggest regret is that I ran out of blankets. I had tarps in the back of my truck, but no blankets left to give. Blankets are urgently needed right now.

If you’re on Vancouver Island or anywhere in British Columbia and have blankets to donate, I could really use them.

If you would like to support this outreach financially, all donations go directly toward supporting this ministry and outreach work, including supplies for those in need, fuel and travel for ministry visits, and basic living and ministry expenses that allow me to continue serving full time.

I just got off the phone with my family in Mexico, and thank the Lord they are doing well and everything is calm where they are in the city.

Like many of you, I’ve been watching the news and feeling concerned about the reports coming out of parts of Jalisco, especially around Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. My heart goes out to everyone in those areas, including the citizens and first responders who serve so courageously.

Mexico is very close to my heart. My daughters are Mexican, much of my family lives there, and I carry a tremendous love for the people and the nation. I am grateful to hear my family is safe, and I continue to pray for peace and protection across the country.

Lord, I pray for Your hand over Mexico. Protect the people, bring peace to every region, and cover this beautiful nation with Your mercy and grace. 🇲🇽🙏

What an awesome afternoon spent with Pastor Mike and his congregation 🙌

I had a great opportunity to share my testimony and the heart of my ministry with the church. After the service we enjoyed wonderful fellowship over a meal together, then rolled up our sleeves for outreach. We made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and went out to serve those struggling on the streets ❤️

I was able to hand out sandwiches, potato chips from my outreach supplies, as well as socks, toques, and tarps. Most importantly, I connected with four men and gave them my card with the hope of helping them get back into treatment centers and into recovery. God is moving.

Thank you, Jesus, for such a wonderful day meeting brothers and sisters in Christ and serving together as the Body of Christ 🤝

This is a follow-up to the video I released a few weeks ago regarding the situation involving Jake Kail and Jeremiah Johnson.

After reviewing the recent developments and responses, I want to say again that it takes real courage for a minister like Jake Kail to speak publicly about concerns involving someone he once supported and ministered alongside. That kind of honesty can come at a personal cost, and I respect the willingness to stand for what he believes is truth and integrity.

My goal in this follow-up is not to attack anyone, but to encourage biblical discernment, accountability, and maturity in the prophetic and charismatic church. Scripture calls us to test all things, hold fast to what is good, and walk in truth with love. These conversations are difficult, but they are necessary if we want to see a healthy and trustworthy church.

Thank you for your prayers and for standing for truth with love.

� Did Todd White Truly Repent? Todd White Needs to Step Down From Ministry

Todd White has released a public statement expressing sorrow for people who were hurt under his leadership. He speaks about moving ahead of grace, leadership pressure, and the need for accountability.

But serious questions remain.

For nearly a year, multiple former leaders, staff members, and insiders have gone on record raising significant concerns about leadership culture, financial transparency, miracle testimony practices, spiritual pressure, and lack of accountability within Todd White’s ministry.

In his recent repentance statement, Todd acknowledges hurt and leadership mistakes. However, he does not clearly address many of the specific public allegations that have been raised.

This video is not about attacking a brother in Christ.
It is about biblical accountability in public ministry.

When a leader’s influence reaches thousands around the world, repentance must be clear, specific, and accompanied by genuine accountability. Scripture teaches that those who teach and lead will be judged more strictly, and that shepherds are called to protect the flock, not just the platform.

After carefully reviewing the public record and Todd White’s own statements, I believe the most loving and biblical path forward is for him to step down from public ministry for a season of genuine restoration, healing, and accountability.

Not cancellation.
Not destruction.
Restoration through humility and truth.

This video walks through the facts, the concerns, and the biblical standard for leaders in the body of Christ.

My prayer is for truth, healing, and protection for the church.

“Let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” — James 3:1

If you care about integrity in the church and protection for believers, watch this carefully and prayerfully.

� Sean Bolz from Bethel & Stacey & Wesley Campbell SILENT After 1.5 Million View Audio Leak

� Sean Bolz from Bethel & Stacey & Wesley Campbell SILENT After 1.5 Million View Audio Leak

The secret audio involving Stacey Campbell, Sean Bolz, and major prophetic leaders has now surpassed 1.5 million views since January 17, 2026. Despite the explosive reach of this recording, both Stacey and Wesley Campbell have remained completely silent as the controversy continues to grow.

In this video, I examine the significance of that silence. After confirming that Mike Winger possesses the original recording, I intentionally waited to see if any public response or clarification would come from those involved. Instead, what we’ve witnessed is a deafening silence from key prophetic voices while serious concerns about manipulation, accountability, and behind-the-scenes knowledge remain unanswered.

Why has there been no public response? What does this say about prophetic culture and leadership accountability? And what should the Church do when private warnings never become public truth?

This video breaks it all down.

friend of mine, “T,” was the victim of a very serious assault and violent attack last week. By God’s grace, T is now out of the hospital, but there are still major physical and emotional challenges ahead.

If you are someone who prays, please lift T up for protection, healing, strength, and peace. Trauma like this does not just affect the body, it affects the heart and mind as well.

Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer.

� Just one of Bethel’s Problems: Platforming False prophets- False prophets don’t mark and avoid false prophets, they platform them.

Bethel’s leaders have spent decades preaching “Culture of Honor” while platforming, protecting, and promoting men who were later exposed as predators, frauds, or seriously disqualified leaders. In this video I focus on one of the clearest examples, Bill Johnson publicly promoting Todd Bentley, defending him, and framing public accountability as “throwing him to the sharks.”

This is not a personal grudge. This is a biblical issue. Scripture commands shepherds to protect the flock, mark and avoid false teachers, and rebuke those who contradict sound doctrine. When leaders refuse to warn the sheep, wolves keep eating.

Main focus in this breakdown:

Bill Johnson’s public endorsement and promotion of Todd Bentley

How “Culture of Honor” language can be used to resist accountability

The contrast between man-made systems and clear biblical standards for leaders

Why public influence requires public clarity, not private protection

Key timestamps from the clip shown:
5:10 Bill Johnson promotes Todd Bentley’s event and promises “massive conversions” and “massive miracles”
10:49 Bill Johnson explains “Culture of Honor” discipline and says he will not “throw Todd Bentley to the sharks”
17:10 Bill Johnson replies to criticism, “Have you spent time with Todd?” and says, “I do it in God’s name”
23:25 The public commissioning at Lakeland, NAR “apostolic authority” language and decrees of increased “power” and “influence”
40:07 Biblical qualifications for overseers contrasted with celebrity platform culture

Back on street outreach this morning. My first stop was our local coffee shop, a place where police and first responders are often present responding to the many heartbreaking situations connected to Canada’s ongoing opioid crisis.

British Columbia has been at the center of this crisis for years. In 2016, the province declared a public health emergency as overdose deaths surged due to fentanyl and other toxic substances entering the street supply. Since then, thousands of lives have been lost, and communities across Canada continue to feel the weight of addiction, loss, and brokenness. Behind every statistic is a real person who is loved by God and worthy of hope.
This morning I spent time with my friend Tyler. We talked, prayed together, and I was able to encourage him and get him a Tim Hortons coffee. Moments like this are simple, but they matter. The Gospel meets people right where they are, often one conversation at a time.

To all of my friends who support and pray for this outreach, thank you. Your prayers and encouragement make these moments possible. If you could say a prayer for Tyler today, it would mean a great deal.

I just blocked someone.

A quick note about the culture of this page.

I have always said that if someone is rude to me, disagrees with my theology, or challenges me in a confrontational way, just leave the comment. I am not afraid of disagreement. Honest conversation is welcome here.

However, I have zero tolerance for anyone who attacks or belittles the people who follow and support this ministry.

Many here have lost loved ones to overdose. Many have family members battling addiction right now. Some are grandparents faithfully praying for their children and grandchildren. This is not just a comment section. We are a family in Christ.

When someone comes onto this page and begins mocking or attacking those who are here for encouragement and healing, it can be deeply jarring. I will not allow that kind of environment here.

On YouTube, my moderators understand this and help keep things respectful. On my other platforms, I do not have moderators. So if you ever see someone attacking or belittling those who follow this ministry, please do not engage with them. Simply email me and I will take care of it.
