You will learn to think biblically about everything so you can deal with false teaching, know what Scripture says about specific issues, prove Christianity is true, go deep into theology and become a go to resource for biblical knowledge so you can help others. I have a passion for helping others to carefully and thoughtfully understand and apply the Bible by creating the well-researched biblical content that you have been starving for ever since you first believed.
I’m Mike Winger, after serving for 14 years as a pastor in the local church I have a heavy burden on my heart to get REAL Bible teaching and knowledge into the lives of others. I want to give you the teaching I’ve been craving for my whole Christian life. I want you to be able to hear me make the case for my views and to be able to reason it through for yourself.
Live Q&A every Friday at 1pm Pacific time.

What if space aliens are real? How does that impact Christian theology?
Seems like a good time to reshare this video with you all.

Lindsay Coil had the "Shawn Bolz Anointing" they said, and the evidence is very strong that she was doing the same fake stuff that Shawn was back in the day, calling out info from social media and pretending it was God.
I don't think this has ever been addressed by Bethel leadership in a way that would help inform the people she deceived. Certainly they have had more than enough time to do so, if that's what they wanted to do.
This video is her prophesying (from Facebook it seems) at Bethel

Someone found the Greg Locke video that I wasn’t able to find. About 19 minutes in he accuses Copeland and then Osteen. I’ll say again what I said in yesterday’s video.
Greg should defend the victims or admit he was lying about these men.

Friday I offered an update on Bethel and others that was critical and unfortunately showing that Cover-up Culture is still happening.
Yesterday I got a random copyright claim from Bethel (through Matter Inc.) that was, I believe, a false copyright claim. What's odd is that it's on a video that is years old.
What is up?
UPDATE: Bill Johnson Ministries has just dropped their claim without explanation.

I’ve exposed a lot of bad guys and today I’m asking for prayer related to that.
Please pray for protection, spiritual strength, and courage especially for the people who have been abused by evil leaders we have exposed.
This isn’t just a generic prayer request. Some specific stuff is going on behind the scenes right now but I can’t say more openly. Please take a moment and lift up those who’ve been targeted and abused by evil men acting in God’s name.
Protection, spiritual strength, and courage.
Thank you so much.

I’m honestly so blessed because this isn’t just numbers. It’s representative of real ministry in real people’s lives. In your lives.
All glory to God!

I used to make videos teaching people how to do better as YouTube creators. I did this on a second YouTube channel that became dormant for a long time. Well, today I started it up again!
If you want some tips and tricks on doing YT well you can find it here. I also plan to have some discussions on ethical concerns Christians face related to YT content creation.
Today’s video is about how you really need to do A/B testing as well as some tips on doing it well. In fact, my last video got a 10% boost in watch time just for using A/B testing. It’s free. It works. It’s easy.

I never thought my channel would get a million subscribers. I kept waiting for my channel to plateau, as often happens, and it just didn’t.
I don’t see the 1,000,000 mark as a validation of my ministry or my ego but I do see it as a weighty thing in light of how many lives God has allowed me to reach and that fills me with a sense of gratitude and, to be open, a sense of dread.
“Let not many of you seek to be teachers for we will be judged more strictly”
I am properly fearful in light of this verse and in awareness of how my work can impact the lives of others. But I rejoice in the Lord for the positive impact many of you have experienced through this ministry!
Whenever I meet people who recognize me they spontaneously tell me how they were blessed and their lives impacted by God’s grace to them and me in this ministry and on this YouTube channel. In my view, that impact (not the content I make) is the goal of my ministry. And that’s what’s amazing about reaching a million subscribers. It’s fully worthwhile to labor hard to minister to one person. And if one person is worthwhile then reaching a much larger group is that much more wonderful, because each one matters.
I’d happily do all of this work, if God enables, for a fraction of the people but it’s a cause for rejoicing to see so many being blessed. I’m not at a million yet but it’s close and it has me thinking about these things.
I thank God for you!
Jesus shows us God, carries our sorrows and sins, takes our guilt far from us and brings us close to Him. Trust in the risen Lord Jesus. Trust in the Scripture. Wait on the Lord and He will strengthen your heart.

Joel Osteen (yes, it was really him) blocked this video from being viewed for 3 years.
Suddenly, for reasons I was not told, it is now viewable.
There’s an even longer version of this video which is still blocked from viewing, by Joel Osteen. He has not dropped that copyright claim. In fact, he has not dropped the claim on the video you can see below. It’s just that YT (if I had to guess) has done some kind of review or policy change that resulted in the action Joel imposed, removing my video from YT, being undone. Now they just have monetization rights on my video.
Maybe I will appeal that at some point. But for now, here’s the controversial video Joel Osteen didn’t want you to see. It’s a mild analysis of him teaching a Bible study done in a manner that was, if anything, overly friendly and gracious. But it turned out that Joel really misuses the Scripture over and over again.
Here it is… viewable for the first time in over 3 years.
Joel Osteen misuses the Bible 14 out of 15 times in one sermon.
