Sean McDowellWhy Mike Winger Started Exposing Bad Christian Leaders
October 7, 2025 ● 84 minShare this episode
Today I have on apologist Mike Winger to explain why he pivoted his channel toward investigating abuse and false teaching in the church especially in settings where prophecy is practiced without accountability. He traces how “cover-up culture” forms, why some leaders stay silent, and how non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), intimidation,and platform protection can compound harm. He also lays out a biblical blueprint for dealing with credible accusations (1 Tim. 5:19–20) that protects the innocent, warns the flock, and seeks real reform not mobs or witch hunts. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [SMDCERTDISC] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org
