Facing backlash for visiting disgraced Pastor Robert Morris in prison and declaring him forgiven by God, Mercy Culture Pastor Landon Schott unleashed on his critics in a video posted online.  

Calling them “demonic,” “foul religious spirits” and “vipers,” Schott claimed those criticizing him were evil. He also said they “don’t do crap” for victims, while highlighting the 100-bed home for sex trafficking victims his church is building on its campus in Fort Worth, Texas.

In the wake of current exposés of supposed “prophets” — Shawn Bolz, Chris Reed, Todd White and others — many are rethinking the movement they come from. And they’re questioning the teaching of churches, like Bethel, which platformed and covered for these “prophets,” rather than exposing them as frauds.

For at least six years, pastors like Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton rebuked Bolz privately, while publicly saying he was a godly and powerful minister.

And Sarah joins Julie in this episode to discuss how defamation lawsuits are used to intimidate critics and how those efforts sometimes collapse in court.

The Bible is meant to provide truth, refuge, and hope. But what happens when the Word becomes a sword of fear, confusion, or shame for those already wounded by abuse?

In this podcast, guest host Lance Ford speaks with theologian and longtime advocate Steve Tracy about how Scripture has often been misused—and at times deliberately weaponized—against survivors. Rather than defending theology at all costs, they focus on telling the truth about the damage such misuse can cause.
