White man on a stage. Caption: "...play and he played a woman in the school play."

The "sex discipler," Pastor Ben Rose, claims Ted Haggard had a sex and drug abuse scandal because he played a woman in a grade school play and that's how Satan got his hook in him to be a closeted homosexual living a duplicitous life. What a bunch of garbage.

A preacher’s dark secret: Sleepovers, porn and sex abuse allegations dating back decades Joe Campbell says his calling is to share God’s love, but a group of women say he sexually abused them as girls. An NBC News investigation uncovered decades of missed warnings and failures to act.

We spent 6 months investigating a children’s pastor accused of being a serial rapist.

His accusers have spent 40 years fighting to stop him.

Today he works for disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker and runs a secluded camp for kids in the Ozarks.

Far-right Christian nationalist Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver has released an album. This track opens with the line: "I just took some pre-workout. I guess that means that I should lift." It then somehow gets worse. Trust us when we say that you are unprepared for when he goes a cappella.

Strangely Hospitable: What Sets Apart a Christian Home What drives Christian hospitality? The goal is not to craft a lavish meal or create an authentic ambience, but to display the stranger-loving heart of God.

"Love for strangers was also codified into Israel’s law, which expanded the category of “stranger” to include society’s most vulnerable: sojourners, foreigners, widows, orphans, and the poor (see Deuteronomy 10:18–19 or Leviticus 19:33–34, for example)."
