The real earthquake wasn’t just what Bolz allegedly did. It was that leaders at Bethel, including Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, acknowledged they knew serious issues existed and failed to communicate clearly, publicly, and promptly. Silence. Internal handling. No broad warning to the thousands who saw this man as a mouthpiece for God. Only after outside pressure and public exposure did the apologies roll out—the corporate version of “we should’ve said something sooner.”
(The Dissenter) It’s a strange kind of grief—not the grief of surprise, but the grief of confirmation. The kind where you’ve been standing on the train tracks for years, waving both arms, shouting that the light in the distance isn’t the sunrise, it’s a locomotive—and then one day you hear the impact and everybody else finally looks up.
We’ve been writing about Bethel Church for years. Not because it was trendy or because it drove clicks. But because what comes out of that pulpit and that ministry machine has been a theological landfill fire for a long time—blasphemy dressed like revival, heresy sprayed with glitter, heterodoxy running around in skinny jeans calling itself “presence.”
