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.

Mercy Culture Church is part of Cover-up Culture. At least among some of its top leaders.

The only time I have been able to talk to Mercy Culture leaders was on a phone call where they did not immediately disclose to me that they were recording the call.

But I knew they were in a single party recording state so I asked them if they were recording. They admitted it, so I told them I would record it as well.

They showed zero concern for the victims they had harmed in their public statements (defending Michael Brown and attacking everyone else) and seemed to see themselves as victims of me. This is because I was guilty of making a video exposing what they did in public. They asked why I didn’t contact them before making my video. I told them I did contact them and that they ignored me. They acknowledged this and said they now regretted ignoring me. But I think the regret was due to exposure, not any kind of agreement or change of mind.

They also were quite bothered that I had made a follow up video telling everyone that Mercy Culture wrongly filed a copyright claim against my video (which is true) and revealed that they saw this as me shooting first. I pointed out that when they copyright claimed something in violation of US law and YouTube policy it was them shooting first. They accepted zero responsibility for this and suggested it was a process that happened automatically, where they claim everything possible and don’t consider if it’s a valid claim first. I told them I believed this was illegal and immoral and they should stop.

When it came to them constantly acting like they were the victims when they in fact had deceived people and attacked victims I had a rare moment. I yelled at them. I don’t really yell as a habit. I did it intentionally in this case because I reasoned that maybe, just maybe, me raising my voice and speaking in very strong ways could break the deception they were under. It didn’t.

I ended the call pleading with them to look into the Michael Brown situation and see the ton of evidence to show they had deceived people and harmed witnesses and one victim in particular. After this call they said they don’t want to talk to me any more.

They can dispute this account if they want. They have the recording. So do I.

I’ve repeatedly asked for a conversation with Landon Schott but the only pastor I was able to speak with was Les Cody.

Did I tell you that

1. Shawn Bolz has stopped his ministry (at least for now)
2. Shawn shut down his website.
3. He shut down his YouTube channel.
4. He has been exposed by Bethel publicly.
5. Bethel apologized (see my recent video for a hopeful analysis of it)
6. Bethel leader, Steve Moore, thanked me for my video.
7. At least some of the victims were called by Bethel and received apologies that encouraged them.
8. Cover-up Culture is in retreat!

It’s been good. More of this.

There's much to appreciate in Bethel's statements today. Much. It's incredibly rare to see such openness and accountability from leaders on stage and I was very impressed by it.

There are also some significant concerns that should be noted. I'm going to take several days to process all this and give a response this Friday during a live stream.

Praying for wisdom, hoping for the best, prioritizing the normal folks, and remembering the gnarly path that brought us here along with what a good way forward would look like.

My Shawn Bolz video may end up being taken down. I just received a claim through the YT privacy ststem that I have violated privacy for the section from 3:19:33-3:33:00

I am taking several steps behind the scenes to resolve this if possible.

EDIT: (1/25/2026) I haven't heard anything from YouTube one way or the other but in this case silence is golden.
