Mike Winger Speaks Out: Bill Johnson & Bethel Church Failed to Keep Their Promises

Mike Winger has shared a shocking new update about Bill Johnson's Bethel Church in Redding, California, raising fresh questions about whether the church has followed through on the sweeping reforms it promised after months of public controversy. In this video, we examine Mike Winger's recent X post, revisit Bill Johnson's public apology, and discuss new claims from an inside source alleging that Bethel is laying off dozens of employees, requiring strict non-disparagement agreements, and sidelining those who have advocated for meaningful change. We also explore the ongoing controversy surrounding The Passion Translation, Brian Simmons, and reports that Bethel continues to support the translation despite mounting criticism. If these allegations are accurate, they suggest that Bethel's promises of repentance and cultural reform may have been more about damage control than lasting biblical change. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Charismatic Church, this discussion comes from a place of genuine concern and love for the movement—not a desire to attack it. I believe the Church desperately needs a return to biblical truth, accountability, and a healthy balance of Word and Spirit. We'll also discuss why many believe Mike Winger has become an important voice calling for reform, why these issues matter far beyond one local church, and what Christians should learn from the ongoing controversies surrounding Bethel Church, Shawn Bolz, Bob Hartley, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), prophetic ministry, prosperity theology, and modern charismatic practices. Join the conversation as we examine the evidence, compare it with Scripture, and ask whether genuine repentance and lasting reformation are still possible. #mikewinger #bethel #christianpodcast TORN CURTAIN MINISTRY INFO: 😎GIVE ONE TIME GIFT 💰Pay Pal Donations: https://paypal.me/torncurtain?locale....\_US 💰Cash App: https://cash.app/$torncurtain 💰Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/torncurta... 💰Zelle Donations: [email protected] 😎BECOME MONTHLY PARTNER 👊  / torncurtain   😎BUY GOLD AND SILVER w/ GENESIS GOLD -Add Gold & Silver TAX FREE to Your 401K or IRA Today -Protect Your Wealth and Retirement Savings 😎GET FREE GOLD INVESTING GUIDE: https://www.torncurtaingold.com 😎Want to Learn More about Investing in Gold?
