Thank you to Teasi Cannon for being willing to come, at my invitation, and tell her story. We don't share this as a piece of entertainment but a way of calling Christians to something higher and bringing support to victims and accountability to leaders who abuse their authority.

Micah Turnbo, as of 5/3/2025 is a pastor/seer/prophet at Vineyard Northwest in Ohio. He teaches many people through online ministry and has more visions and supernatural experiences than anyone in the Bible, it seems. I'll share evidence that he is a false prophet, deceiver, and shares obviously false experiences and even teaches some things that contradict the Bible.

Why do this? Becaus...

Naomi was raised in a pseudo-Christian cult. She was subjected to all manner of spiritual abuse and manipulation, from leaders who used Scripture out of context to control, shame, and terrify her. After doing the unspeakably difficult work of overcoming this abuse, escaping the cult, and learning that the Bible never truly supported such things, she now helps others to disentangle Christ...
