John and Jed examine the shocking new Firefly report that brands Mike Bickle—a central figure in the International House of Prayer (IHOPKC)—a chronic sexual predator. They trace how unbiblical ideas of “holiness” and the so-called “Moses model” of leadership create fertile ground for abuse in Pentecostal and charismatic circles. Drawing connections from William Branham’s theology to the modern New Apostolic Reformation, they explain how these movements elevate leaders beyond accountability, distort the fruits of the Spirit, and silence whistleblowers under the threat of “touch not God’s anointed.” Together they discuss IHOP’s attempts to erase its past, the continuing danger of its theology, and the likelihood of a new “Joshua figure” rising to carry Bickle’s mantle.
