Guest Bios Show Transcript Sixteen years ago, Bethel Church pastor Ben Armstrong allegedly forced a young intern into bed—twice. Instead of firing Armstrong for adult clergy sexual abuse, church leaders labeled the misconduct an “affair.” After a period of “restoration,” he was reinstated and eventually promoted. When the former intern, Sarah, recently went public with her story of abuse, it sparked strong backlash.

After a former Bethel intern went public with allegations of clergy sexual abuse, Bethel leaders' decision to label it an “affair” and later restore the offending pastor is under fresh scrutiny.

Guest Bios Show Transcript 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.

Guest Bios Show Transcript Hanukkah is traditionally one of the most joyful seasons on the Jewish calendar—a time of light, hope, and remembrance. But this year, that joy has been overshadowed by a horrific act of antisemitic violence.

Guest Bios Show Transcript Megachurches are booming and it's no wonder. These churches of 2,000 people or more offer many things Christian consumers want, like compelling worship, inspirational sermons, and kids programs. But they also come with trade-offs. You likely won't know your pastor. You have almost no power to shape how the church governs or the pastor behaves.
