Money Grubbin' Brian Houston is Pleading For a New Church Production Studio, and Wants YOU to Pay for It

Disgraced money-grubbing’ heretics Brian and Bobbie Houston are pleading for a new production studio to support their new ministry and church ‘Jesus Followers TV.’

Sharing on a recent video broadcast, Houston made his pitch:

“This is going to be a faith ministry, and I’m really believing God will give us a big powerful group of partners who will stand with us in the building of Jesus Followers. Because, like anything, we’re building a new ministry, we’re building a new church, and frankly we’re starting with nothing, and we’ve got desperate needs.”

Jesus Followers TV, is an online church crafted in collaboration with Revival City Church in Adelaide, Australia, which currently supports them and is providing the production infrastructure, something Houston says he wants ease away from. He added in another video

Right now, because of the blessing of a friend, we have several cameras here, several camera people, we got a production person, we got someone telling us to go this way, go that way, and so on…

We’re blessed because a friend is helping us and a church is making this available, but we can’t expect that every single week so I’m really believing God that he’s going to enable us, it’s a faith Vision, to have a studio where we can have the equipment, have everything that involves production including a crew of people, faithful people who believe in the ministry and believe in what we do, and I’m praying there’ll be people who will partner with us and believe that God has called you to contribute to be a part of our brand new church Jesus followers.

We previously reported about a post-production malfunction that revealed behind-the-scenes audio at his filming location. Houston was heard preparing his pitch for volunteers and rehearsing his messages, which heavily featured requests for monetary support and “provision for the vision.” At one point Brian was overheard asking when they should ask for the offering, before or after, and Bobbie says it should be done at the end and that he needs to make sure to “hook them” so that “people don’t leave” or tune out beforehand.”

The launch of the church and new ministry comes two years after Brian Houston was terminated from his role as head of Hillsong. At the time, it was revealed by church leadership that Houston was accused of committing indiscretions with two women and having a drinking problem, including getting drunk and spending nearly an hour in a woman’s hotel room in 2019, along with being viewed as power hungry and out of control by the church board.

After his termination, it was also revealed that Brian and Bobbie Houston were some of the most irresponsible spendthrifts in the world, with the two frequently spending thousands of dollars on single meals at the exclusive Nobu restaurant, which we covered in Top 10 Most Expensive Meals Brian and Bobbie Houston Expensed to the Church (Number 4 is $2433.38) and would routinely stay in luxury hotels that cost upwards of $13,000 a night. (See other scandals in the endnotes) All these funds come from the sacrificial tithes and offerings of the congregants.

Of course, Brian and Bobbie are filthy wealthy multi-millionaires who can easily afford any studio they want. But like all flock-fleecers and false teachers, they want others to support their deviant and heretical habits, and they’ll never stop their abuse until they get saved or pass away.
