Rick Joyner is one of the worst offenders in Cover-up Culture. He continually reinstates disqualified people without ever truly restoring them.
Here he says, of Bob Jones using fake prophecy to get women to take their clothes off and be fondled by him, “This happens with men. Get used to it.”
He reinstated Bob Jones as well.
@DeptOfChurch My name is Emily Elston. If you’d like to hear my thoughts, I’m very happy to share them. Let’s schedule a time for a call or zoom or whatever forum you like that’s real and personal and direct. If that’s not appealing to you, you can check out https://t.co/kOG4vlBOeK for the public thoughts I’ve shared or read our posts here on X.
“Christians” lose their minds when @chipgaines & @joannagaines feature a gay couple (because Jesus definitely would’ve excluded them 🙄)… but they rally to defend “grace” for serial abusers like Mike Bickle.
Make it make sense.

Please notice that there are no accusations in my original post, nor the response to you. Only statements of fact. If there is nothing to this, great. But why the complete lack of transparency for decades?? I’m part of a group calling for truth and asking the MorningStar board to do their job.
Maybe. But when you add the following factors to the picture, it begs for transparency: (1) I spoke to senior staff who worked at MorningStar for more than a decade who had never heard of Shunem; (2) I have spoken to senior staff who have confirmed the re-routing of large amounts of money donated for a specific cause (i,e., wells in Africa) that were diverted to unknown endpoints; (3) MorningStar has fundraised for more than TWO DECADES for a camp that still does not exist - see separate X post for details. Further, someone extremely close to Rick told me in late 2024 that she would look into these issues and get back to me. Guess what? Silence.
Thanks for flagging. Of course I know there are some genuine and loving artists in the Christian music world. I’d really love to see some of them come together for survivors. We organize charity concerts for natural disasters and kids in poverty in other countries, but for the kids sitting in the pew next to us……
Earlier this year I asked a few Christian artists if they’d be part of a benefit concert for victims of sexual abuse in church. One said “no, it would interfere with ticket sales in that market.” The other never responded. The Tait horrors—and so many other stories—make it hard not to wonder what could happen if “Christian” artists cared more about survivors than sales.

Rick Joyner affirms Mike Bickle and his continued leadership in “rant” posted today. “Mike Bickle has been one of the great leaders in the body of Christ in our time, and his time’s not up. He may just be coming to what he’s ultimately supposed to do.”

Happy to report that yet another effort by MorningStar, Rick Joyner, David Yarnes, and Douglas Lee to have a lawsuit against them dismissed was denied - this time by a different judge. The defense counsel had to try and make his (ridiculous) argument with a loud marching band outside his window. It was almost as if God himself couldn’t stand the sound of the lawyer’s words and sent a cacophony of voices and drums and trumpets to drown him out. #morningstartoo #churchtoo
June 6th has come and gone and no podcast. Thank you, @sadierob for not moving forward with a podcast with @IamRickJoyner. Many victims of all kinds of abuse under his watch are grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 #churchtoo#morningstartoo
@IamRickJoyner Bickle's "impact" isn't just about the prayer movement. His serial sexual abuse and destructive witness caused many to walk away from faith, stop praying, and lose trust in a loving God. To ignore this immense negative impact is to rely on cherry-picked, incomplete data to evaluate his role in church history.
