The Mega-Ministry Charade: Why We Refuse to Bow to Abusive Pastors
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
~ Ephesians 5:11
- Hello Friends! -
Welcome back, friends! I returned home from the Canadian Arctic this past Monday, and my heart is still incredibly full from traveling with the unstoppable 93-year-old Pastor Kayy Gordon. Witnessing the beautiful fruit of a life truly poured out for Jesus completely reorients your perspective on what the church is actually called to be. It stands in blistering contrast to the pampered, private-jet charlatans who use the pulpit to build their own luxurious empires. Coming back down south means stepping right back onto the battlefield to expose the mega-ministry machine and demand accountability.
This week, we took a hard look at the blazing fakery continuing at Daystar. The entire network is operating like a house of cards, with leaders reading from teleprompters while actively covering up unrepentant sin. We dug into Rachel's history of deception, including the fact that Marcus and Joni had to put a GPS tracker on her car, and a chilling prophetic dream where Joni was completely unable to say no to hiding a rotting body under a bed. But the corruption isn't just in Texas. We also exposed the absolutely unhinged, controlling behavior at Glad Tidings Church right here in Vancouver. When a brand new believer is aggressively yelled at by Pastor Vince Schott's wife, Jodiann, simply for reading a scripture book, you know you are dealing with generational wolves who care more about their own authority than the safety of the sheep.
We will not bow to this fake religious tyranny. We will keep exposing the darkness, and we will keep pointing back to the true Word of God. As I shared in our final video this week, I recently opened my father's Bible and found 2 Chronicles 7:14 carefully underlined, a powerful reminder that God calls us to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways. We have to prepare this kind of truth-filled legacy for our own children. I encourage you to dive into this week's broadcasts, share them far and wide, and stand firm with us as we fight for a church that is safe, honest, and completely devoted to Jesus.
Much Love
Laura-Lynn And The Team
DAYSTAR: IT’S ALL FAKE
In our first video this week, we expose the blazing fakery happening right now on the Daystar set. It is excruciating to watch Josh Brown read off a teleprompter, pretending to feel the "sweet presence of the Holy Spirit" while actively covering up unrepentant sin. The entire network is a house of cards. After Joni passed away, Daystar was left without an actual president, but we all know who the rightful leader was supposed to be: Jonathan. Tom Calender even admitted on a heartbreaking phone call that Jonathan was entirely willing to walk into biblical restoration with his siblings to lead the network forward.
Instead of choosing righteousness, Rachel and Rebecca vehemently rejected family unity. Rachel continues lying to the public and the police about a sleepover, yet parades around acting like she owns the network. They cast aside Jonathan, a young man with a pure heart who only ever tried to bring financial and moral compliance to the ministry. This betrayal is epic in its biblical proportions, much like Joseph thrown into prison by his own flesh and blood. Public trust in Daystar is completely shattered, and we will not stop blowing the whistle on this fake religious tyranny.
RACHEL LAMB IS SO UNTRUSTWORTHY THAT JONI TRACKED HER CAR
In our second video this week, we dig into the deeply disturbing pattern of deception and erratic behavior coming from Rachel Lamb. While she puts on a perfectly polished persona for the Daystar cameras, behind the scenes, things are completely unraveling. We discussed a chilling prophetic dream Suzy Lamb had back in 2018, long before these current scandals ever broke. In the dream, Rachel wanted to hide Josh's dead, rotting body under a bed in Marcus and Joni's house, and Joni was completely unable to say no to her. This perfectly symbolizes the sickening cover-up culture operating at Daystar right now, sweeping the rotting decay of unrepentant sin and lies right under the rug!
To make matters worse, we looked at an old clip where Rachel openly admitted she lied to her parents so much that Marcus and Joni had to secretly put a GPS tracker on her car. While tracking a deceitful teenager is one thing, the leadership at Daystar later turned around and used those exact same tracking tactics behind the back of their own adult son, Jonathan, while he was Vice President of the network! It is absolute paranoia, manipulation, and control disguised as Christian ministry, and the world is finally waking up to the truth.
“GLAD TIDINGS IS NOT A SAFE OR WELCOMING PLACE”
In our third video this week, we shine a massive spotlight on the absolutely horrifying abuse of power happening at Glad Tidings Church in Vancouver. I received a heartbreaking letter from a brand new believer who was aggressively cornered and yelled at during a service by Pastor Vince Schott's wife, Jodiann, simply for reading a scripture book instead of listening to her husband! It is completely unhinged, controlling behavior that proves this church is not a safe or welcoming space for the flock. To make matters worse, while congregants are fleeing in droves because of this domineering tyranny, the church board sits in total silence. They are enabling a dwindling congregation to continue paying massive salaries to the Schotts while $800,000 in church assets is completely unaccounted for, and now they are even talking about selling the church parking lot just to keep the grift going. It is sickening to see generational wolves destroy the very church I grew up in, and we are calling on the board to finally step up, enact a vote of no confidence, and remove these abusive leaders immediately!
MAKE A BIBLE FOR YOUR KIDS
In our final video this week, we are ending with a short but powerful reminder of what is truly important. I recently opened up my father's Bible, which is an absolute treasure to me, and read the key passages he had so carefully underlined. He highlighted 2 Chronicles 7:14, reminding us that if God's people will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, He will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. His eyes and His heart will be there for us perpetually. When we are fighting the intense spiritual battles of our day and exposing the wolves who have infiltrated the church, we have to stay grounded in the Word. Prepare a treasure like this to leave for your own children. Underline the pivotal words of truth so they know exactly where their foundation lies!

To all my faithful supporters,
We are increasingly being shadow-banned, censored and black-listed by those who do not share our worldview. The things we say and the ideas that we fight for are not celebrated in this dark world.
Every day, we spend many hours gathering information to share about what is really happening. Like Jeremiah, we stand against the whole land, including the government, the false mainstream media and the establishment. Most people who do this are let go from their jobs and cancel culture tries to remove their voice or scare them from ever speaking up again.
I truly am grateful for you, my wonderful viewers and supporters! Your prayers, encouragement and kindness keep me going. I often hear from one of you at the exact moment I need a word to uplift me as I battle on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
God bless you for your part in making this possible!
