Surviving IHOP-KC
Summary
Brad speaks to two survivors of IHOP-KC about the abuse they endured there, the dynamics of the community, and healing with others.
This week allegations emerged about Mike Bickle, founder of IHOP-KC, a central hub in charismatic Christianity located in Kansas City. Bob Smietana at RNS describes Bickle this way:
"Bickle is one of the most influential charismatic Christians in the United States and a leading figure in the so-called New Apostolic Reformation, which seeks to make prophecy and the leadership of apostles a major part of modern evangelical practice.
A former pastor in the Vineyard church movement, Bickle led his Kansas City-based congregation to break away from that denomination in the 1990s after conflicts with other leaders."
Jo and Gracia tell their stories and give insight about IHOP-KC then and now.
