Famous NAR Prophet has 5 Kids. All Reject His Beliefs Faith, and Politics
(NY Times) The Rev. Rick Joyner is a famous evangelical leader who has called on Christians to arm themselves for an inevitable civil war against liberals, who he suggests are allies of the devil.
But this is the awkward part: His five children would be on the other side of that civil war, as he and his kids all acknowledge. Just as America is torn asunder by politics and polarization, so is the Joyner family. The Joyners love each other, are there for each other — and despair for each other.
“He talks about Democrats being evil, forgetting that all five of his kids vote Democratic,” said his eldest, Anna Jane Joyner, 36, a climate change activist and podcast host (her father has suggested that climate change is a Communist conspiracy). “Who is he asking his followers to take up arms against? Liberal activists? That’s me.”
She worries that his far-right rhetoric may get people killed, so she feels a responsibility to challenge him. “I think it’s completely possible that some of my dad’s followers could pick up guns and cause violence because they think they’re defending the country,” she said.
Sam Joyner, 26, a ceramic artist and the youngest of the siblings, was also blunt about their father: “He’s causing harm in my view, and he’s being incredibly irresponsible.”

Pretty sure Scripture speaks of tearing families asunder. This is none-news, IMHO.
“…children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. All nations will hate you because you are my followers.” – Matt 10:21-22.
Five left wing idiots for children? What a huge disappointment. I’m sure the schools are largely to blame.
I love how the Left can spout hateful rhetoric until they are blue in the face, yet the Right speaks truth and it’s denounced as “harmful and that it’s going to get people killed.” Oh, the hypocrisy of the Left.
