The thirty-eight in this year’s series showing our brothers and sisters in Christ gathering for church service as faithful believers.
While going to church does not make one a believer, refusing to faithfully attend a local church should seriously call that faith into question. This is a glimpse of what the global church is up to, and will feature images in chronological order, week to week, of the men and women being obedient to the scriptures. As always, click pictures to enlarge them.
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness. Proverbs 11:10.
Notorious late-term baby-butcher LeRoy Carhart has passed away at the age of 81. Unless the Lord miraculously saved him on his deathbed, which we hope that he did, he enters an eternity in hell.
We thank God that he has been removed from this earth, and that his soul has passed into judgement.
For the last 50 years Carhart operated abortion clinics across the country, specializing in second-and-third trimester abortions. He made it his specialty to slice and dice babies as far along as 32 weeks, becoming the poster child for partial-birth abortions. Among the most vocal of abortionists, he would frequently argue that he was the one who was genuinely pro-life because he was saving the lives of the women from a “parasite” they didn’t want.
Estimated to have murdered over 90,000 babies, making him one of the most prolific killers of all time, Cahart became a public enemy of the pro-life movement when he performed abortions at George Tiller’s Kansas clinics. Cahart was poised to take over the business when anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder executed Tiller.
No cause of death was given by the family, and none is needed.
Yesterday we brought you the story of LeAnn Legans. Legans spent the last 17 years as a Ministry Leader with Andy Stanleys’ North Point Community Church while at the same time proudly and flagrantly sharing videos and images of herself affirming LGBTQ ideologies, wearing a rainbowed “Ally” shirt, and singing the praises of the annual Pride parade.
She’s not the first North Point leader to flaunt their gay-affirming creds, however. Other pro-LGBTQ leaders at the church include Parent Connect Director Amy Blakeslee, Care Director Pastor Debbie Causey, Production Team Leader Gregory Cook, Creative Director of Design Cameron Smith, Parent Care leader Sandi Harman-Waldrop, and Parent Connect leaders Greg and Lynn MacDonald.
While several of the North Point church leaders listed above have engaged in some scurrilous behavior, such as founding an openly pro-LGBTQ activist and advocacy group ‘Renovus’ which is designed to promote full LGBTQ inclusion and acceptance into the church, Legans went one step further when she headed out to a drag show on her birthday. Here, she handed out dollar bills to the performers, witnessed the sheer debauchery and deviancy of it all, and then received a lap dance from a drag queen, a very active and willing participant in the whole affair.
In our report, we insisted that some of her congregants and colleagues HAD to have seen her sodomy-praising posts on Instagram and Facebook. We posited that they must have known she was openly gay-affirming, as she wasn’t even hiding it, because it was simply accepted.
We were right.
Here is one of the posts she made with the following caption back in 2021:
“June is Gay Pride Month, and some of the best people I have ever known just also happen to be LGBTQ+. It doesn’t define them, but just like all the things that make you and me unique, it’s part of their stories. If you don’t think you know anyone that’s LGBTQ+, I would like to encourage you to not only open up your circle of friends this month and find some people that are different than you but open up your hearts and your minds. Ask about them and ask their stories. Be an ally. Be the change. #GayPride #LoveOneAnother #GayAllys #JesusCallsUsToLove #BeTheChange #PrideMonth #LoveWins #LGBTQ”
Legans received over a hundred “likes” and “heart” emojis from friends, regular North Point parishioners, and then some from former and current church employees.
Jamie Cargill. Spent over a decade with North Point church as their Singles Creative Director.
Brandon Coker. A long-time member of North Point’s praise and worship band.
Michael Kanner. North Point Church’s Singles Gatherings Director.
Meg Adamson. North Point Church’s Journey Director for nearly a decade, where she ‘pastors’ leaders and does vision casting for their ministry partners.
Julie Tiedmann. Spent a decade as a worship leader at Buckhead church, where her husband was also a pastor. Now, she works at ThinkOrange under the leadership of Reggie Joiner, the man who founded North Point Community Church with Andy Stanley.
Legans also posted this image on Facebook with the caption:
“Life is never dull when one of your besties is a drag queen. I love you @alabamatp/ @codybradley (his drag name) And I always will.”
We were only able to capture a small selection of those who reacted fondly to the image before she took her page private, but these include:
Katie Peters. The Adult Groups Director + Volunteer Assimilation Coordinator at East Cobb Church, one of North Point’s primary campuses.
Sarah Bauer Anderson. Her husband is Rodney Anderson, Director of Singles for Buckhead Church and North Point Ministries, and she is a former North Point staffer. She attends North Point and is the author of the book The Space Between Us. Previously interviewed on stage and promoted by Andy Stanley, a brief perusal of her social media would strongly suggest that she is gay and trans-affirming.
Sadly, this is not the first time North Point church leaders demonstrated how stunningly compromised they are when it comes to sexuality and biblical gender roles.
In late 2021, a young man from the Woodstock City Church came out as a “transgendered woman” on Instagram, explaining that his pronouns were now she/her. As he introduced himself to the world, he asked those who knew him to be open-minded and curious while also delighting in how excited he was to make the change.
Mitchell McGhee, a former staff worship leader ordained by WCC who still performs there occasionally.
Jennifer McGhee, the Director of Transit.
Ericah Stokes, the Executive Assistant to lead pastor Samer Massad.
Meg Davidson, the Community Relations Director.
Andy Kaefer, who spent seven years on Staff at North Point and WCC as Production Director.
Scott Kitchen, the SPD in charge of service programming for youth events.
Trey McKnight, who spent 15 years working for North Point as a worship leader/ communicator and then later WCC as the InsideOut Director.
Andy Jones, the Middle School Director.
Briteny Kaefer, the Programing & Events Producer at Buckhead Church, another North Point church.
North Point Community Church is broken, and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes widespread and well known.
In responds to the news that Legans was getting a lap dance at the drag show, one commenter wrote “This is NOT church, this is out of the pit of hell,’ causing Pastor Andy Stanley to pithily and dismissively rejoin “You are correct. Definitely not church.”
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) annual report , a survey of 17,232 High School students between the ages of 14 and 18 found that 25% of them, or 1 in 4, identify as homosexual, bisexual or is currently questioning their sexuality.
The numbers reflect results from 2021, which means given the social contagion sweeping the youth over the last few years, current numbers would likely be higher.
Of the 25% of students who do not identify as heterosexual, 12% consider themselves bisexual, 3% gay or lesbian, and another 9% marked ‘other.’
Transformation Church’s Oversight Pastor, Tim Ross, is something else. First we brought you the story of how he believes that it shouldn’t be considered cheating for a married man to dance sexually, get twerked on, and slap the butt of a half-naked dancer. Then we featured him praising famed Modalist T.D. Jakes while saying a belief in the Trinity is a secondary, non-essential issue, and that it’s crazy for Christians to divide over Trinitarian doctrine.
In a recent sermon, Ross makes some grotesque claims that Jesus is the only butt-naked ‘stripper’ that we reverence. The Dissenter explains why this theology and analogy is so terrible:
“In his sermon, Pastor Ross brazenly likens money to “bread,” equating it to the biblical miracle of manna. This outlandish analogy insinuates that financial abundance is nothing less than a divine entitlement, encouraging believers to expect God to keep filling their pockets with material wealth. In doing so, he shamelessly perpetuates the dangerous falsehood that faith or adherence to specific practices will lead to a deluge of financial blessings, utterly disregarding the complexities of life and the crucial biblical teachings on stewardship, contentment, and serving others.
But worse than that, he later goes on to compare Jesus to a stripper who, essentially, he pimps out as a prostitute as a way for him to put “bread in my pocket.” During a sermon illustration, he blasphemes God with this sick and perverted illustration.”
“But you know that the enemy’s a counterfeit, right? He ain’t the first one to make it rain. Literally, he’s not the first one to make it rain. I could take you to Genesis to prove to you who the first person was that made it rain. But Scripture said that manna came from heaven and it was bread to them.
We don’t make it rain on booty cheeks. We don’t make it rain on strippers. We only reverence one stripper, and that’s the one that took off glory to put on humanity and then get butt naked on a cross to die for both you and me.
The only stripper I’m in love with is Jesus. And he’s the one that puts that bread in my pocket.”

Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church has a problem. Besides Stanley’s frequently strange sermons that see him offering new and novel interpretations of the scriptures designed to minimize the Old Testament and the authority of the text, and the revelation that he does not hold to a biblical sexual ethic but instead is privately gay-affirming, is how many of his staffers and ministry leaders at his church are also pro-LGBTQ.
There are gay-affirming pastors running pro-gay ministries, conferences where all the speakers are gay-affirming, pastors and leaders sitting as board members of pro-LGBTQ advocacy groups, pastors and leaders speaking at pro-LGBTQ conferences, and ministry leaders recommending that children struggling with their gay identities attend counseling at a place where 100% of the psychologists and therapists are LGBTQ. There are even ministry leaders praising the transition of a congregant from a man to a “woman.”
Her LinkedIn profile lists her personal pronouns (she/her), and she’s been involved with North Point Community Church as a ministry leader in some capacity for nearly 20 years.
Operating out of Buckhead Church, one of North Point’s satellite locations, she’s been the Singles Gathering Leader since 2006 and the Grouplink Assimilator & Connector for North Point Ministries since 2007. The church also employs her as the Director of Operations for Canopy, a singles ministry where unmarried adults mingle while volunteering with the city and local nonprofits. She has also worked extensively in the church’s Guest Services.
Legans is very involved with the church and is known by Andy Stanley, bragging about the Zoom meetings she gets to have with him. With Stanley having ‘liked’ her social media posts in the past, she caused him to tear up at a party when she gave him a ‘Buckhead Church Besties’ picture featuring the two of them together.
She’s also administered at least two baptisms in the last year, overseeing the ordinance and doing the dunking.
Like several North Point pastors and leaders we’ve covered, she’s also really, really, really LGBTQ-affirming and drag-affirming.
Legans is very vocal and honest about her unbiblical views in her social media posts and outward-facing profile. She’s not hiding these perspectives in any way. She’s not concealing her true thoughts for fear that she might be held accountable by her bosses, but rather is publicly declaring them in the presence of her friends, family, church, and congregants.
In June 2021, she posted a celebration of Pride Month to her Instagram, donning her rainbow-hued ‘Ally” shirt. This post was liked by several North Point staffers and attendees. Not content to have it shared in only one corner of the world, she shared more pictures on Facebook, covering all her bases so that anyone who follows her would know exactly where she stands.
Then, several days ago, she shouted out her ‘bestie’ Cody Bradley, who moonlights as a drag queen ‘Alabama TP.’
It’s not the first time Legans offered her drag-buddy some public support. Two months ago, Alabama TP performed at a drag show where Legans was in attendance. Bradley offered a “Special shout-out to this queen, @lealeag_ 💖” because Legans’ “helped me learn how to command attention and encouraged me to be myself on a stage.”
And what a show it was.
The event itself was filthy, consisting of two hours of 18+ overt sexual innuendo, statements, jokes about oral and anal sex, hundreds of f-bombs, and a rotating cast of drag queen performers more garish and grotesque than the last.
When it came time for Alabama TP to perform, the crowd urged him to ‘bring more energy,’ so he grabbed a laughing and jovial Legans and brought her up on stage.
Here, North Point’s 20-year ministry leader received a lap dance from the drag queen, laughing and cheering with delight as she was gyrated upon while dollar bills flew from the cackling crowd.
Video: Gay-Affirming North Point Church Leader Cheers As She’s Given Lap Dance by Drag Queen.
Legans participated in several more events during the show, looking like she was having the time of her life the entire time.
It should be no surprise that Legans is gay-affirming, especially to any of her church colleagues. She’s been a mainstay at the church for nearly two decades and it’s safe to assume that at least one of her peers saw her flagrantly unbiblical content on social media over the last few years. They’ve had conversations about some of her beliefs, and they know who her best friend is and how she felt about him, that they know what she thought about all of this. But nothing came of it.
In a biblical church where Christ is honored, any pastor or leader discovered to be promoting LGBTQ acceptance in direct contravention to the scriptures would be removed from their leadership position.
False convert Chance the Rapper is set to headline Fill the Stadium, a ‘student-led mission to fill the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for a concert and gospel proclamation on April 29, 2023.’ Other performers will include famed worship leader Kari Jobe, Maverick City Music member Chandler Moore, and a gospel presentation by evangelist Nick Hall.
So far, over 80,000 people have signed up to attend what has been billed as the biggest University outreach event in history.
Responding to earlier criticism of Chance’s presence being incongruous with an overt worship set, Hall told concerned folk in early April that the embattled artist wants to “be a part of an event to point people to Jesus’ and that those who do not want to stay to hear him can simply leave.
Chance the Rapper is a well-known rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer. Nominated for over 60 prestigious music awards, he professes to be a Christian, though his life is marked by carnality.
Days ago, the married father was caught at a festival in Jamaica grinding and twerking up against a half-naked woman, laughing as he slapped her butt. Since then, more videos have emerged (warning, graphic content) of him doing the same thing to different women, demonstrating a pattern of chasing his flesh and glorifying the sins of this world.
To event organizers, however, Chance is the bait that will get pagans on the hook, and are more than happy to use him as the lure.
True to form, disgraced former pastor Carl Lentz has broken his silence regarding his ousting from Hillsong, NY, telling his side of the story in a new documentary in partnership with none other than Vanity Fair.
There have been several Hillsong mini-docs and investigations in the last few years, but this is the first one Lentz has participated in.
In November 2020, Carl Lentz was ousted from the pastorate after it was revealed that he was having an adulterous affair with a New York City-based designer named Ranin Karim. Though his bombshell got him fired, it was only one of many affairs, according to leaked audio from Hillsong leadership.
In the trailer for the film, which seems to focus more on Brian Houston and his trial for covering up his father’s sexual abuse of a minor, Lentz can be heard saying:
“The truth doesn’t go anywhere, just because you covered it up…You do not want to be in this chair. I cannot stress it enough. I’ve had some major lies.”
The grandson of Charles Stanley is facing backlash after announcing he is auctioning some of the late famed preacher’s personal items on Ebay, including a signed picture and pocket watch.
Matt Brodersen, the 29-year-old son of Stanley’s daughter Becky, revealed that after Stanley passed his family and employees went through the house and divided up some of his personal items and memorabilia. Broderson received some things that he will be keeping, such as Charles’s passport, but also some that he’s auctioning off in order to pay the bills.
Brodersen acknowledged that some people were giving him grief but says he has no shame with selling them items.
I went to my Grandpa’s funeral and I grieved greatly. I’m already back in Dallas now, I’m a human being who has bills to pay and you know how the economy is. So no, I don’t really have shame in selling some of his stuff. I’m actually really happy that two of his fans are going to get to have a collection of some of his very personal items that were found in his office and in his desk that were there when he passed away. I think that’s really special or sweet to be able to pass that on. And whoever wins is going to help me pay my bills, which I desperately need right now. I’m not afraid to admit.”
Aside from Perimeter Church’s reputation for being the source of much woke rhetoric and spawning several church plants populated by critical race theorists, despite being a member of the conservative Presbyterian Church of America (PCA), the 5000-member Georgia megachurch also has a new claim to fame; having a former youth pastor on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.
Christopher Burns was a youth pastor at Perimeter Church who later stepped down to become a financial planner. According to reports:
Prosecutors allege that for years, Burns lived a double life, swindling approximately $10 million from dozens of investors in a years-long Ponzi scheme that spanned three states. Under the guise of a “peer-to-peer” lending program with high-interest promissory notes, Burns allegedly used the money to fund his lavish lifestyle—which included a boat and numerous trips to Disney World.
But the day before Burns was scheduled to hand over documents related to his businesses as part of an ongoing civil investigation, (in 2020) the 40-year-old vanished without a trace. In his wake, Burns left behind a slew of angry investors out millions of dollars, unanswered questions, and a family left to pick up the pieces.
His son Phillip, who was 15 years old when his father vanished two years ago, told the Daily Beast:
“I have [had] to rethink my entire life. He was my role model. It hurts so much that he left that day. I believe he is still out there somewhere… but [he] is not a part of our family and our lives anymore.”
If captured and charged he woud have to repay $12 million to his victims, civil penalties of nearly $650,000, and could face as many as 20 years in prison.
