(TrinityFi) In a divorce petition filed on July 26, 2024, in Florida, televangelist Benny Hinn’s wife Suzanne Hinn reported, “The marriage between the Wife and Husband is irretrievably broken.”
Suzanne requested spousal support and asked the court, “Require the Husband to contribute to the Wife’s attorney’s fees and costs, including forensic accountant fees, both temporarily and permanently …”
Because Florida is a no-fault divorce state, the forensic accountant would not be looking for financial fraud or other financial crimes.

Suzanne Hinn has filed for divorce from her famous money-grubbing televangelist husband the second time in 15 years, according to a new report from Trinity Fi.
Benny Hinn and his wife were first married in 1979, but she filed for divorce from him in 2010, after they’d been separated for years. Regarding this marriage, Hinn revealed things got so bad that they “could no longer exist in the same house.”
He later admitted, “I was so busy in the ministry, I was so caught up with the ministry, I forgot about my family,” That’s probably what broke the whole thing up.”
Months after the initial filing, Hinn was famously captured by the National Enquirer emerging from a hotel in Rome holding hands with fellow televangelist Paula White.
Hinn insisted that they were “just friends” and insisted the whole situation was completely innocent. With the scandal straining credulity, his book publisher certainly thought it wasn’t innocent. Strang Co. now known as Charisma Media, advanced him $300,000 for a book deal and then sued him for violating his morality cause by engaging in a “romantic” and “inappropriate” relationship, seeking to recover $250,000 of the money.
Though the divorce was finalized, the couple rekindled their romance and gave it another go. They remarried three years later, with Hinn unsurprisingly selling DVDs of the big event at $25 a piece.
Now, however, she’s getting out again. Suzanne filed in Florida, which is a no-fault divorce and has equitable distribution. This is where judges divide marital property equitably, with the possibility of some unequalness if one couple’s economic situation calls for it.
Unless Suzanne Hinn signed a new prenuptial agreement following her remarriage to Hinn, she should get half his assets.
While many online websites peg Hinn’s fortunes anywhere from $30-$100M dollars, the reality is that his ministry, World Healing Center Church, also known as Benny Hinn Ministries, is broke. “In a 2021 court ruling, Judge Alvin Hellerstein wrote about Benny, “For nearly 15 years, Defendant had been falling behind its payment obligations, with over $5.6 million in arrears by early 2012.”
Twenty years ago, WHCC had nearly 400 employees working for them – little minions spread across several countries and continents that fueled the heresy-making machine. Now that WHCC been reduced to a shell of their former self, they are only staffing a little over 20 people in a rundown headquarters next to empty parking lots.
Still, they have some personal assets, including houses and property worth millions, and it looks like he will soon be parting with those.
The famous prosperity heretic, in the things that matter in life, is not so prosperous after all.
Hovind, also known as Dr. Dino, has a creation ministry of sorts that is run through his Alabama-based Dinosaur Adventure Land; a somewhat decrepit touristy destination where people can camp and explore the trails on ATVs and visit his creation exhibits. Routinely expressing and advocating for sovereign citizen conspiracies, he famously spent almost a decade in prison after being convicted of nearly 50 federal counts of tax fraud, at the time claiming that he didn’t owe anyone taxes (especially not Caesar) because everything he owned belonged to God.
This new ‘marriage’ continues a personal life that is in disarray and stained by sinful, selfish, and self-justifying choices.
He married his first wife Jo in 1973 and they stayed together until their divorce in March of 2016.
He then ‘married’ Mary Tocco in September 2016, though no sexual adultery had taken place in his former marriage, making him an adulterer. They did not get a marriage license and instead had a private religious ceremony. That ‘marriage’ lasted a little more than a year, and then they ‘divorced’ in 2017 after she discovered that he was behaving shady with the money again, and not on account of adultery.
He then got ‘married’ again in 2018 to Cindy Lincoln, becoming twice an adulterer in a private ceremony, and then he ‘divorced’ her and put her out in 2020, also without a legal marriage or divorce.
Now, he has ‘married’ yet again, this time to Sandra Sawyer, who explains:
If history is any indicator, she has a little under two years of being his ‘wife,’ before he ‘divorces’ her for number wife #5.
Kyle J. Howard, the theological misanthrope, who has never met a white person who didn’t cause him some degree of trauma and who didn’t harbour a dark underbelly of white supremacist thinking, all the while being promoted and retweeted by SBC royalty, had some unusually racist marital advice.
Asked whether or not a “biblical divorce” was in the cards if one person was a white supremacist, Howard explained that it wasn’t for two white people, but it was if one of the spouses was BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or People of Color)
Of course, Howard views almost everyone as a white supremacist. In fact, one of his quick barometer tests is asking whether or not someone voted for Donald Trump. If you did, you’re a super racist, committed to white supremacy and the enslavement and subjugation of black people, and he does not feel safe around you.
If you have black or brown skin and you want to divorce your spouse for being a white supremacist as defined by Kyle J. Howard, then you have his blessing and the scriptures release you, with no sin being present.
If however, you have white skin and you want to divorce your spouse for being a white supremacist as defined by Kyle J. Howard, then that is still sinful, and a violation of the biblical texts, and you are not released.
You all knew this was coming, based on his trajectory. Consequently, we await in anticipation to know what other sins are only applicable to white folk and not black ones. Given his predilections, he will tell us soon enough.
A husband and wife pastoral team who founded a Miami-based megachurch are in the middle of a messy divorce, and a hundred and twenty million dollars in assets may on the line.
Pastor Guillermo Maldonado and “prophetess” Ana Maldonado are founders of the Charismatic/Pentecostal megachurch “King Jesus International Ministry” – a fast-growing Hispanic church that has a weekly attendance of over 20,000.
Ana filed from divorce from her husband last year, after over 30 years of marriage, alleging verbal and emotional abuse (but not cheating or adultery) and suggested that he is stealing and illegally profiting off his ministry empire. Guillermo vehemently denies these claims.
The Christian Post, citing an article from the Miami Herald, reports that the lavishly living couple own:
A home in southwest Miami-Dade, a property in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, and another in Treasure Cay in The Bahamas. They also own property in Opa-locka and Hialeah along with a 2020 Mercedes, a Lexus LX, plus a Falcon 50 business jet registered in Florida under the church’s name. The plane alone, according to Evojets, can range in price from $4.5-$6.5 million.
Along with those goodies, she believes he has stashed away further assets all across the world, with emphasis on holdings and bank accounts in Columbia, Italy, and Honduras that her attorney believes could worth up to $120 million dollars.
While the two hash it out, prophetess Ana has started her own church, splintering off and taking a portion of supportive congregants with her.
David A.R. White and Andrea Logan announced on Saturday that the couple was divorcing, after revealing that marriage ended years ago, but that it was only being formalized now.
White, known as the founder of the Christian movie studio Pure Flix that has released such fare as God’s not Dead, The Case for Christ and Unplanned, as well being an actor in many of the films he produces, informed the world on Instagram that the decision to rend the marriage asunder came after “a great deal of prayer and counseling over many years.”
Logan released her own statement, writing:
“We made the most difficult decision to end our marriage years ago — a decision that came after a great deal of prayer and counseling over many years. Divorce is an unbearable grief and is being reminded of the death of a family dream every single day.
We have waited quite a while to share this news with the public, as we wanted to give our family the time and space to heal and process all that unfolded during such a difficult time.
We would appreciate your encouragement and prayer and would request privacy in this matter. Our priority is to continue to seek the Lord’s guidance for our family, as we lovingly co-parent our three amazing children. We value your prayers for our family and grateful for your understanding.
While the future is unknown, I have faith in God , and we stand on this: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future and hope.”
The couple has three young kids together.
Ironically, one of his most recent projects is the producer of Redeeming Love, the big-screen adaptation of the bestselling Francine Rivers novel due out next year.
Redeeming love is a fictional portrayal of the story between a farmer, Michael Hosea, who marries a prostitute. Though she repeatedly cheats on him and runs out on him, back to a life of whoring and selling herself with the result of unimaginable anguish and pain, Michael continually takes her back, woos her, and loves her. He refuses to divorce her, and they ultimately remain together and build a joyful marriage despite years of pain and infidelity.
The story is a metaphor for the Book of Hosea, with Hosea marrying the prostitute Gomer to represent the Lord and unfaithful Isreal, and yet the Lod continually calling her back.
Update. Jen Hatmaker has now shared the news on her Facebook page, writing:
“I first thank you for the kindness you have shown these last two months. We are in a moment with no handbook and without a single clue how to navigate this privately, much less publicly. I don’t know how to hide grief, so I haven’t, and I am grateful for your absolute decency these last few weeks. I don’t know how to say this, and I still cannot believe I am even saying it, but Brandon and I are getting divorced. Although the details are ours alone, this was completely unexpected, and I remain stunned as we speak. I am shocked, grief-stricken, and broken-hearted.
Although this community is impossibly dear, beloved to me, in case you are an interloper who revels in the pain of another, I beg you to spare us your cruelty. We have suffered so greatly. (Hateful comments that harm our family will be deleted.) The kids and I are getting away to retreat for awhile, and I ask for your kindness…and for some room to breathe. Please respect the privacy of our children and our extended family. Our loss is not for public devouring. We are real people managing this in our real life in real time, and we are doing the absolute best we know how to do.
If you pray, pray for us. Hold us so dear to your hearts. We have felt your prayers these last few weeks. We have experienced your mercy. Thank you for being good to us. Know that we are deeply surrounded by love and have not been alone a single second in two months. Please help protect us and keep us safe as we try to heal and rebuild.
Yours, Jen”
Jen Hatmaker, the gay-affirming Christian media personality who’s not actually a Christian, has filed for divorce from her husband, Brandon Hatmaker. The move to end their marriage was initiated late last month in a Texas Courthouse, in documents that have been uncovered today, but have not been announced yet by either spouse yet.
The couple has been married 26 years and have 5 children. Apart from their TV shows and books they’ve written and started in, the Hatmakers also founded Austin New Church in Austin, Texas, where Brandon is a Pastor and Jen is a board member.
Hatmaker has hinted these last few weeks that things have not been well, describing it in a bit of detail on her Instagram and other places.
No cause has been given yet, as it has not been made public, but we expect one soon.
While Jen has cut back on her public engagements these last few weeks, she is still expected to give a talk at the Evolving Faith conference, the progressive get-’em-up where heretics go to burn off some steam and explain in contorted, esoteric ramblings why they really do love Jesus by demonstrating their hatred for him.
Pray for repentance for the Hatmakers and comfort for their children.
Adulterous and unqualified Pastor Greg Locke, recently gone viral for his threats to kick in the teeth of a Dunkin Donut worker who allegedly called him a liar and forced him to wear a mask or leave the establishment, has stuck his toe yet again in the news cycle by claiming that Democratic Nominee for President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Convention are hiding Satanic symbols in their election promotional imagery.
Locke’s conspiratorial claims are quite outlandish, and he was rightly ridiculed.
Even the verified account of the Church Of Satan joined the fray, naturally drawn by the mention of Baphomet.
Locke reiterated his discovery on his Instagram page, doubling down on his beliefs.
Yestersay on Twitter and Facebook I managed to tick off tens of thousands of people because I brought to the surface the fact that the Democratic National Convention logo and the Church of Satan pentagram logo are just about the EXACT SAME LOGO ladies and gentlemen. Same dimensions, exact same measurements, the whole nine yards.
Well, the guy that actually made the logo reached out to me on Twitter, and he didn’t deny the allegations, he just went for a personal attack, an assault against my character.
I’m telling you right now, this was not in any shape form or fashion, some type of “coincidence.” I’m telling you ladies and gentlemen, there is a satanic agenda that has entered the arena of politics and even religion, in the United States of America. you’d better wake up, drink some coffee, pay attention. Jesus is coming soon, and I’m telling you satanism is alive and well in the United States of America.
Locke’s claims are reminiscent of Christine Weikes, the Christian activist who made international news in 2004 with her claim that the stylized ‘M’ on Monster drinks was in fact represented as ‘666.’ Tack on the notion that the slogan “unleash the beast” referred to the beast in the Book of Revelation and you have yourself a conspiracy.
We’ve reached out to Mr. Locke and will update accordingly.
