IHOPKC Mike Bickle

Carry Each Other’s Burdens – In This, We Fulfill law of Christ

In 2023, I stepped into the fight for truth, advocating for a third-party investigation into the allegations against IHOPKC.

On February 3, 2025, an independent investigation by Firefly said—IHOPKC founder Mike Bickle had sexually abused 17 women.

Much of the charismatic church remained silent. Leaders told people not to speak, not to post, to “let the process play out.” Meanwhile, Charisma Magazine and figures like Stephen Strang and Rick Joyner used their platforms to defend Bickle. Strang went as far as suggesting that the advocacy group had a scheme for donations, a church split, and a spiritual attack—likening Bickle to King David.

While these false narratives spread, many advocates endured online threats and harassment. Misinformation filled pulpits, excusing and defending Mike Bickle and his abuse.

I used my small platform to bring clarity, truth, and updates. And though the fight came with a cost, it wasn’t in vain. Many of the leading advocates have since spoken publicly, thanking me for my videos. I continue to stand with them, covering them in prayer as they fight for truth, justice, and safety at IHOPKC.

The call of Christ is clear: carry each other’s burdens. We cannot stay silent.

Eric Volz and the Danger of Misdirection

Eric Volz posted many private documents on social media, framing a defense with manipulation, blame-shifting, and half-truths—wrapping it all in a golden coat of so-called independent advocacy for IHOPKC. His actions have caused profound harm and confusion within the global church, and they are reprehensible.

I don’t know him personally, but from following him on social media, it’s clear he has used his platform to defend Mike Bickle while ignoring the overwhelming evidence of abuse.

He even went on the Eric Metaxas Show and, as recently as 2025, still claims he saw no evidence of spiritual or sexual abuse during his time at IHOPKC. This denial sits pinned at the top of his Twitter page.

Few have shown such deep spiritual blindness as Eric Volz.

Yet, I pray for him. I pray that God’s will be done in his life.

Impact on the Church and Need for Action

To the broader charismatic movement: where is your voice in this crisis? Where is your resolve to uphold the principles of truth and justice? The world is watching, and our collective silence speaks volumes. The Church cannot claim to stand as a beacon of righteousness while failing to confront alleged injustice within its own walls.

I urge all believers to join me in prayer and advocacy. As Galatians 6:2 reminds us: "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This is not a time for passivity but for courage and conviction. We must rise, demand accountability, and work tirelessly to ensure that the Church reflects the holiness and integrity of its calling.
