Bethel wouldn't stop him so his son and victims are going public.

Jan 13th, 2026 1:09 AM

Bethel knew and didn't warn... I believe that Bob Hartley is one of the key threads running through the past 40 years of the Charismatic church (Bethel, IHOPKC, Morningstar, etc.). If we pull on that thread, we will see the truth that there is a long-standing Cover-up Culture in the movement and some of the biggest names have participated in it. In this video, I interview the son of Bob Hartley, Jedediah, who exposes his father's fake prophecy grift and how Bob used it to prey upon women. I also interview Michelle Seidler and let her talk about multiple witnesses that have come forward. The reason Jedediah has gone forward, as well as Michelle, is because Bethel leadership didn't do the right thing years ago. From all appearances their actions are consistent with Cover-up Culture and self-protection. But it is the job of the leaders to protect the people, not themselves. 0:00 Intro: This is a big deal3:05 Bob's son, Jedediah Hartley, interview 1:21:35 Michelle Seidler interview about multiple victims My website: https://BibleThinker.org

Are Mixed-Race Marriages Biblical? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 68)

Jan 9th, 2026 11:12 PM

Taking questions from the live chat after I answer the first one! Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:19 {Interracial Marriage: Biblical?} Are mixed-race or interracial marriages biblically permissible? 2. 19:09 {Evangelism: Relationships Required?} I've been told that you should build a relationship with someone before sharing the Gospel with them. Thoughts?3. 22:12 {Others’ Consciences: Our Responsibility?} Are we responsible if someone is emboldened to disobey his conscience because of something we posted online (Romans 14)? I wish to show games I like on my channel, but I’m afraid they may convict a brother.4. 35:18 {Are “Titles” Biblical?} Is calling people by a church title, like Pastor, biblical? Nowhere in Scripture is anyone referred to by anything other than their first name, and Matthew 23:7-12 seems to forbid it.5. 44:23 {Scriptural Coincidences?} Abram's father, Terah set out for Canaan, but stopped in Harran, where he died. Later, God calls Abraham to Canaan. How do I know if something like this is a coincidence or meaningful?6. 45:58 {Should Abortion be Prosecuted?} Do you think it's biblical that women who have abortions should be legally judged the same way as someone who commits murder?7. 51:50 {Balancing Ambition & Contentment} As a Christian, how do you balance ambition and contentment?8. 54:29 {James: Works Based Salvation?} In Galatians, Paul says Jews from the sect of James were Judaizers. If the book of James was written before the Acts 15 council, do you think James in his book taught a works-based salvation?9. 1:00:40 {Why No Marriage in Heaven?} Jesus clearly says there is no marriage in Heaven. But God established pre-fall that it is not good for man to be alone and He gave Eve to Adam despite Adam being in communion with God in the garden. Thoughts?10. 1:03:31 {Appropriate Motivation for Hard Work} Is it wrong to reward myself for doing the things I have to do? I worry that it might cause me to work for the wrong motives. But it's so hard to get myself to do things. https://BibleThinker.org

I believe we CAN take back the universities for Christ.

Jan 9th, 2026 12:00 AM

The kids go to school and learn ideologies that undermine the Christian faith. Later they end up voting, teaching, and running the country with those ungodly ideologies directing them. This has been going on for a while now and the results are devastating. But we can turn the tide if we just stop sleeping on this. Where education goes, the country goes. In this video we are going to outline not only the problem but the solutions we can all participate in, to take back universities for Christ and change our country.

The Hell Debate is Heating Up: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 67)

Jan 3rd, 2026 12:06 AM

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Intro1. 0:18 {Hell: Traditional vs. Conditional?} What is Mike’s perspective on the topic of Hell?2. 26:14 {Marriage, Heaven & Vows} Regarding 1 Timothy 5:11-12, if there is no marriage in Heaven, and when a spouse dies we’re free to remarry, how then does a young widow break her first vow?3. 33:34 {Purpose of the Tree of Life} If we were created as eternal beings, then what purpose did the Tree of Life hold in the Garden of Eden?4. 36:00 {Matthew 6 – But Poverty?} How do we reconcile Matthew 6:25-33 with the reality of poverty? I'm comfortable saying "even He doesn't, God is still good" but this passage sounds almost Word-of-Faith.5. 44:13 {Purgatory in the Book of Matthew?} I've been curious about the word “until” or “till” in Matthew 18:34. Does this imply purgatory?6. 50:57 {Jesus Given a Higher Name?} New believer here, and my question is, since Jesus is YHWH, why is He given the name above every other name in Philippians 2? What does that mean?7. 56:46 {Can All Believers Prophesy?} Does 1 Corinthians 14:31 mean all believers can prophesy? If all can teach in some way without being teachers (i.e., teaching their children), can all prophesy without being prophets?8. 59:37 {Hyperbole in Scripture} The Sermon on the Mount has some hyperbole (cut off your hand). How do you know what is hyperbole and what isn't, specifically regarding anger?9. 1:05:08 {Does God Use our Sin?} Do you believe that God uses the consequences/results of a sin for His own purposes, like a one night stand resulting in a child? A reference could be Joseph and his brothers.10. 1:08:07 {How/Why was Jesus Amazed?} Matthew 8:5-13 says that Jesus was amazed at the centurion's faith. In other places in the New Testament, Jesus knew the thoughts of the Pharisees. If Jesus could read thoughts, how could He be amazed? Kirk Cameron's recent video has been like a match to dry grass, igniting a debate about Hell that has been building for some time now. Since a number of people are putting my name in the mix (and misunderstanding my own position), I want to bring clarity and also offer some advice for us all to lower the temperature on Hell. Sorry, the puns just come. https://BibleThinker.org
