G3 Ministries Announces They Are Shutting Down ‘Effective Immediately,’ Apologizes For Sending Anonymous Plagiarism Dossier

(Protestia) Prominent evangelical teaching and preaching ministry G3 is shutting down “effective immediately,” according to a brief email they sent to Network church partners that was obtained by Protestia.

Dear pastors,

Most of you have heard the recent controversy. A statement was posted this morning here.

We are dissolving the G3 Church Network effective immediately. All who have recurring dues set up through Stripe will have those canceled by the end of the week.

We are sorry for any pain we have caused you.

The Silent Fight: Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and Psychosis

“These cases involve very different circumstances, but both highlight the devastating consequences that severe postpartum mental illness can have, and both raise a question that deserves serious attention: What happens when postpartum effects become severe, when the people around a struggling mother fail to recognize the danger, and when treatment does not adequately address the crisis?”

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Two women have been frequently in the headlines over the past couple of weeks: Hayden Panettiere, the famous actress who died on August 16 from a possible drug overdose, and Lindsay Clancy, the mother who is currently on trial for confessing to the murder of her three young children. Continue reading

Hasan Piker Sang About Charlie Kirk. The Crowd Cheered. That Says Plenty.

Appalled by Piker’s deliberate mockery of the man who had once been his close friend and mentor, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet wrote, “Hasan Piker is engaging in pure, unadulterated evil. ‘Whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.’ Proverbs 17:5”

(David Manney – PJ Media) Most Americans are pretty good at leaving each other alone. Vote differently, worship differently, live differently, and go home to your family. But there are lines decent people recognize without needing a political consultant to explain them. Hurt children, brutalize women, or torment a grieving family.

Something basic in us recoils. Continue reading

Will Evil Defeat Good?

(Bill O’Reilly) Abraham Lincoln was the most loathed President in history; Donald Trump second.  Third?  That might be Richard Nixon.

None of those men really understood the personal nature of the hatred directed toward them, and there was absolutely nothing they could do about it anyway. Lincoln’s quest to end slavery brought a war, Nixon’s self-absorption and insecurity resulted in presidential felonies, and then there’s Trump; a populist provocateur who got swamped in D.C. by a brutal and unrelenting partisan system.

Just before the Iran confrontation, I said the action would be the biggest gamble Donald Trump ever took.  My analysis was based on Adolf Hitler, combined with American politics. Continue reading

The Lindsay Clancy case is the downfall of womankind…

Somewhere outside of that reasonable debate and the Commonwealth courtroom, an entirely different Lindsay Clancy case has developed. On social media, mostly among leftwing women and mothers, Clancy has become something more than a criminal defendant whose mental state of mind is being judged by a jury. She’s becoming a “Joan of “Arc”-style symbol. Women claim to be donating their last pennies to help Lindsay “fight.”

(Revolver) Folks, there’s something very dark and disturbing happening around the Lindsay Clancy trial.

And no, we’re not here to laugh at women on TikTok, sneer at struggling mothers, or pretend postpartum mental illness isn’t real.

This is much darker than all that. Continue reading

Deconstructing – But From What?

“Today, whole churches and even some denominations are engaged in deconstructing the “faith once delivered to the saints,” in fact creating a whole new God who is more to their liking, and a gospel that suits their modern sensibilities.”

(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwest Christian Outreach) In the late 1990s, I (Don) was asked by a professor at a local community college to teach a class on Christianity in their Religion 101 course. I agreed and spent nearly an hour explaining the Bible’s reliability and describing evidence for the existence of Jesus, His life, death, and physical resurrection. Of course, it was just an overview, as only so much can be done in an hour. At the end of my teaching, I invited questions from the students. An adventurous student raised his hand eagerly; certain he was going to stump me with something I had never heard…. Continue reading

On G3 and the Church’s Unhealthy Obsession With the Evangelical Conference Circuit

“G3 isn’t really the problem. It’s just one manifestation of the real problem. The real problem is the monster we’ve built as evangelicals—the Evangelical Industrial Complex. The evangelical speaking circuit has become one of the most profitable ways for church leaders to line their pockets.”

(The Dissenter) I had the misfortune of attending a G3 Conference in 2023 in Atlanta. My wife and I spent the money on the tickets, the hotel, and the travel, hoping for an experience we never actually had. We hoped we’d get there, be met with open arms by what would feel like a small glimpse of heaven, a large convention of the gathered body of Christ, and be edified by the preaching of godly men who desired nothing more than the glory of Christ in all things. Continue reading

Human’s Gallows

“One wonders how this itch to discredit or destroy their adversaries by anonymous dirty tricks crept into G3’s DNA. This will be another scandal G3 did not need, and it is one they probably cannot survive. The organization frankly should not survive if anyone on the inside who knew about or participated in this plot remains in leadership.”

(Phil Johnson) learned about the accusations against Tom Buck when they first surfaced months ago. Tom himself informed me on March 27 and sent me a copy of the packet someone had mailed anonymously to First Baptist Church of Lindale, Texas, where Tom Buck serves as Pastor. Copies were mailed to each of his elders’ and deacons’ homes (about 30 households). Tom wanted my opinion and counsel…. Continue reading

O’Reilly on Democrats Trading Blue-Collar & Minorities for Dead End White Leftists

“First, what is a Democrat socialist? Marketing aside, it’s a communist. The official platform wants public ownership of corporations to seize the means of production. They want to “abolish the carceral state, which means no police, no prisons, of course, no guns for self-defense, so we are sheep to the slaughter….'” 

(Mary Dowling) The Democratic Party has thrown blue-collar workers under the bus while claiming they are the party of the working man and woman. Recently, Democratic Socialists swept several Democratic congressional primaries in New York. One raving lunatic named Angie Nixon won her primary in Florida last night. Continue reading

Charismatic Blowhards Claim it is God’s Will For Trump to Cut the Head Off of the Serpent, Iran

“But this clown bypasses the entire debate by pretending that God has disclosed the answer to these charismatic windbags through “prophetic dreams.” He turns his own personal political views into divine revelation and then declares that the Christians can have “zero doubt” that this is all from God. And who wants to oppose God, right?”

(The Dissenter) My wife once bought a set of Dutch sheets. Personally, I didn’t think they were all that comfortable. But apparently, they are known for their high-quality, all-natural materials like premium flax linen, sateen blends, and crisp cotton percale.

I’m just kidding…I had to Google all that to come up with that stupid joke. Continue reading

The Anatomy of the False Christian

In recent American history, many have seen Jesus as fire insurance. Praying a prayer to believe in Him means that you’re not going to go to hell. However, people who go down this path, flippantly believing in Jesus, are often unconverted because they don’t understand His true teaching.” 

(Seth Brickley – TruthScript) The self-deceived, while claiming to follow Jesus, do not possess the marks of a true Christian. The letter of 1 John was given by the Lord as a helpful guide that one “may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Genuine believers possess sound doctrine, including an accurate understanding of the gospel (1 John 2:23)…. Continue reading

Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson: Debate Review

“In the most aggressive point in the debate, Andrew Wilson makes an attempt to force Candace Owens to defend her conspiracy mongering at the 2:34:00 timestamp: “Do you actually believe that anybody in TPUSA or Erika Kirk […] actually participated, had foreknowledge of, or facilitated the murder of Charlie Kirk?” This was an excellent way to put the question to Candace, such that she’d have no choice but to take a stand one way or the other….”

(Evangelical Dark Web) On August 14, 2026 at 11:00 AM (EDT), Candace Owens finally sat down to defend her alternative theories regarding the Charlie Kirk shooting with Christian ethicist and prolific debater Andrew Wilson. We covered the ongoing saga of this on again, off again debate here. To this point, Ms. Owens has refused any sort of public debate on the topic, only agreeing to it now after Wilson and Brian Atlas (Whatever Podcast) both kicked in $150K for the opportunity to sit down for 3.5 hours to debate “Tyler Robinson: Guilty or Patsy?”. Instead of Joe Rogan or Michael Knowles, it would be moderated by Patrick Bet-David. We did a live reaction thread to the debate on X that you can find here, which may be helpful to you if you’re watching after the fact. Continue reading

Christian Conference Hosted By Allie Beth Stuckey Charges $5000 For VIP Package

“It’s the Gold and Platinum VIP add-ons that are raising eyebrows, at a whopping $740.74 for gold VIP and an eye-watering $5,128.21 for the platinum, not including ticket price.”

(Protestia) Allie Beth Stuckey is a conservative  Christian commentator who hosts the  podcast Relatable, where she “analyzes news, culture, theology, and politics from a Christian, conservative perspective.”

She is the author of two books: You’re Not Enough (& That’s Okay) and Toxic Empathy, and she speaks regularly to “organizations, churches, and students about the importance of Christian political engagement, defending the Biblical worldview, championing the pro-life cause, and combating the lies of progressivism.” Continue reading

Speaking of Tongues…

(Amy Spreeman – Berean Research) I recently received a letter from a women’s ministry asking about speaking in tongues, after several of the group’s members discussed their own personal experiences praying to God in a private prayer language. Additionally, because the New Testament seems to be encouraging tongue-speaking in church, they asked if this gift was still alive and practiced biblically today. Great questions!

Tongues that sound like unintelligible speech or gibberish became popular in the late 1800s with the rise of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, after many centuries in which the Church was largely silent regarding such practices. Continue reading

Exposing Samuel Rodriguez, The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference: An Open Borders NGO

With Christian Post, there appear to be few illegal aliens unworthy of amnesty, as even criminal records do not merit deportation automatically.”

(Ray Fava) Evangelical Dark Web has long been calling out Christian Post for promoting amnesty. This week, they attacked the Trump administration for immigration enforcement with hypocritical standards. The key figure involved is Samuel Rodriguez, a Pentecostal (Assemblies of God) pastor of who has gone to great lengths to enhance his own reputation. So what began as a standard Christian media watchdog, has through research exposed an open-borders profiteer masquerading as a Christian leader. Continue reading

Can We Get Over John Piper Already?

“Christ is the head of the church. The church does not need popes, cardinals, celebrity theologians, or anyone else to stand in that role. The ordinary ministry of the word is within the context of the local church and faithful preaching.”

(The Dissenter) It seems that over the last several years, Evangelicalism has taken a sharp turn in leadership, leaving many empty chairs that were once filled with prominent voices. I think this turn started in 2017 when we lost R.C. Sproul. He was a voice the church looked to for clarity on anything from cultural issues to sound doctrinal discernment. Continue reading

They who are demons seduce men away from Jesus Christ: The raging spiritual war between good and evil

(Linda Kimball – Renew America) “They who are called devils (demons; fallen powers) attempt…to seduce men from God who made them, and from Christ His first-begotten.” Justin Martyr, 2nd century A.D., Apology 58. (Crucial Questions About Spiritual Warfare, Clinton E. Arnold, p. 40)

The devils put forward Marcion of Pontus (a Gnostic teacher), who (teaches) men to deny God is the maker of all things in heaven and on earth, and that the Christ predicted by the prophets is His Son and preaches another god…and likewise another son.” Justin Martyr, 2nd century A.D., Apology 58

From the RCC to the Protestant, Evangelical, and Orthodox Church, devils have been bringing forth many false shepherds and teachings of demons to lead Christians away into sin, unbelief, the occult, the UFO religion, and other false teachings. Continue reading

Joining forces with people in the ecumenical movement for the sake of unity can cause spiritual harm

By Marsha West

Christians cannot take that good impulse and then baptize an ecumenical mess where Protestants, Rome, hyper-charismatic prophets-for-profit, Jews, and whatever other religious representatives happen to be available all join hands as though we are praying to the same God through the same mediator with the same gospel. We are not. ~  The Dissenter

I’m taking a well-deserved victory lap here. In 2010, I alerted my readers that NAR wolves were infiltrating what was then known as the Religious Right. The scent of a wolf is easy to detect, even when you’re not sniffing around. I was not. Yet there they were, roaming around the grounds of the White House and scratching at the back door, hoping that someone from the kitchen staff would open it and whisk them inside.

Wolves Are Inside The House!

I’ll begin this piece with a warning: There is a war going on in America that you may not have heard about. No, not a war with a Middle Eastern enemy. The conflict is between two opposing factions of what has been dubbed Christian Nationalism. It’s a long story—too lengthy to explain here–so for now I’ll whittle it down to a single issue: ecumenism.

In short, ecumenism is “achieving universal church unity,” the goal being to set aside differences of which there are many and promote unity among the world’s Christian churches. According to GotQuestions.com:

Ecumenism can also be defined more broadly: “a movement that promotes worldwide unity among all religions through greater cooperation.” For example, a Catholic priest may invite a Muslim imam to speak in his pulpit, or a church may get together with a Hindu temple to hold a joint prayer service. Defined this way, ecumenism is definitely wrong. We are not to be “yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14; see also Galatians 1:6–9). Light and darkness have no fellowship with each other.

Note that GQ, a Chistian website, applies scriptures to show what the Bible says. Continue reading

Heresy of the Day: Generational Curses

“This gives false teachers like Kathryn Krick enormous power. They supposedly have the spiritual gift to locate and detect these invisible spirits, communicate directly to them, revoke their “legal rights,” and pronounce the victim free. But if the problem continues, which it always does, the victim returns for another session rather than questioning the false teaching.”

(The Dissenter) I recently saw a video clip of false teacher Kathryn Krick claiming to free a woman of the “generational curses” of abuse, and it was difficult to watch. The woman was obviously hurt, sad, and noticeably emotional. And here was Krick, exploiting this poor woman for personal gain, while claiming “power” over the evil spirits that have entered her as a result of her childhood abuse. Continue reading

1967’s ‘Summer of Love’; or was it the summer of hate?

“The truth of it is, the entire movement was demonic. The youth did drop out, of society, of college, from families. They wandered, spiritually and physically, into new realms. Realms of depravity such as experimenting with homosexuality and lesbianism. Realms of mind-altering drugs. Realms of different living situations such as polygamy or ‘free love’ communes.”

(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) It happened 59 years ago. It was summer, flower children ‘hippies’ were on the rise, the Viet Nam war had become full blown, and an entire subculture was born. It was dubbed the “Summer of Love”.

The generation born Post-WWII in the late 1940s and 1950s and their parents experienced economic prosperity, technological advances, and a feeling of hopefulness since the dark World War was ended. Continue reading

Dumb People

“The pursuit of happiness will not be enhanced by a vengeful political movement which wants to regulate how we live and what we are allowed to have. That’s a totalitarian point of view. Adolf, Joe Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh all tried it as they blood-soaked their countries.”

(Bill O’Reilly) Rudeness alert!  No hiding from this one. There are far too many ignorant folks in the USA.  The bad guys know this and are enabled by it.

Here’s a suggestion.  Columbia University should require every student to take a semester in Cuba.  I’ve been.  It’s harrowing there—incredible poverty, no freedom.  Fidel the communist imposed a doomsday scenario on his own people.  It worked.

At least the radical students could absorb the “collective warmth” as Mamdani described socialist/communist governance. And it is very warm in Havana. Few Cubans can afford air conditioning. View article →

Kayleigh McEnany’s Inside Story With Fauci Will Leave You Furious

“The COVID-19 pandemic feels like a fever dream now. Six years later, it’s almost impossible to believe any of it actually happened: the lockdowns, the shuttered schools, the toilet paper craze, the stupid barriers at supermarkets, the masked toddlers, and the businesses destroyed overnight.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Kayleigh McEnany spent the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic just steps from Dr. Anthony Fauci while serving as White House press secretary during President Donald Trump’s first term. Now, after digging into Fauci’s newly revealed diaries, she says the American people got played. Continue reading

AI Just Created Viruses Never Before Seen On Earth

“While the Arc Institute researchers took strict safety measures, watchdogs warn the core technology opens the door to danger. If an AI can master whole-genome design to construct bacteria-killers, it could be only a matter of time before high-tech bad actors attempt to prompt similar language models to invent hyper-lethal, highly transmissible human plagues.”

(Hank Berrien – Daily Wire) Artificial intelligence has taken another step into synthetic biology, with researchers using a powerful AI model to design functional viruses from scratch in a breakthrough that could advance medicine while raising new biosecurity concerns.

In a study published Thursday, researchers at Stanford University and California’s Arc Institute said they used an AI model called Evo to engineer brand new viral genomes. The model was trained on trillions of genetic building blocks, teaching it the complex hidden “grammar” of natural DNA. Continue reading
