“Unfortunately, in the midst of so many miracles and breakthroughs, I let my own guard down….I failed to stand in my authority when temptations came. Needless to say, my actions opened the door, which I allowed, for sin to come in through loose and inappropriate conversations with the opposite sex.”
(Protestia) Prominent Pentecostal pastor and evangelist Ted Shuttlesworth Jr. is stepping down from ministry (at least temporarily) after revealing that he’s been cheating on his wife and having “inappropriate conversations” with other women [committed adultery].
Shuttlesworth is the co-pastor of Miracle Word Church in West Palm Beach, Florida, which he helms along with his wife. The author of nearly 20 books, he co-founded Miracle Word Ministries in 2010, which has grown into a multi-faceted organization with a physical church, online media, travel crusades, and educational programs. He is the founder of Miracle Word University, hosts his own podcast show, and has been frequently associated with the new, savvier, wing of the prosperity gospel movement.
