What Bethel Got Right (And Why That Makes It So Hard to Leave)

With all the fraud and scandal coming out of Bethel over the last six months, we are witnessing a mass exodus. People are leaving in droves. But here is the hard truth that nobody walking away wants to admit: it wasn't all bad. And that’s the exact part that messes with our heads. If it were all poison, walking away would be easy. We’d leave clean. Instead, a lot of us leave feeling carrying an intense weight of confusion and guilt. We miss parts of it, and we don't know if we're allowed to. In this video, I’m breaking down the six things Bethel actually got right—from the genuine freedom in worship to a living expectancy for the supernatural. As a two-time BSSM graduate, I’m not here to defend an institution. I’m here to tell the truth, because the truth is the only thing that heals us. Stick around until the end for the twist that changes everything and strips the guilt away completely. We’re separating the gold from the dross, because you don't lose a single real thing when you walk out those doors. If you are processing your own exit, feeling stuck in the middle, or trying to deconstruct the hurt without losing your faith, this one is for you.
