Brian Carn is warning the members of Kingdom City Church to stay away from critics, outside voices, bloggers, former members, and even family members who may question what is happening inside the ministry. In this sermon, Carn repeatedly tells his congregation that criticism is dangerous, that negative information can contaminate their faith, and that they must continue saying the same thing in order to protect the vision of the church.

This is extremely concerning.
There is a major difference between sinful gossip and legitimate criticism. Gossip spreads unverified information to harm someone’s reputation. Biblical discernment examines claims, tests teachings, investigates misconduct, and holds leaders accountable. Brian Carn appears to erase that distinction by suggesting that even accurate statements can become an “evil report” if they cause someone to lose confidence in the church or its leadership.
At one point, Carn says that a critical spirit can give an accurate report but still be evil because it does not contain faith. He tells the congregation not to ask only whether a statement is true, but what that statement does to someone’s faith. That is a dangerous standard. Truth does not become evil simply because it causes someone to reconsider their trust in a pastor. Sometimes hearing the truth should change how you view a person, ministry, or institution.
Carn also tells members that they cannot hear criticism and then “unhear” it. He warns them that criticism creates a negative lens through which they will begin interpreting everything. Instead of encouraging his members to hear claims carefully, examine evidence, and compare everything with Scripture, he tells them to avoid the information altogether.
The sermon becomes even more troubling when he tells people to cut off outside voices—even when those voices belong to their mother, father, sister, or brother. He encourages members to remain around people who believe what they believe, talk like they talk, and repeat the same message. That is not healthy biblical community. That is how echo chambers are created.
Healthy churches do not fear questions. Healthy pastors do not need to isolate their members from outside perspectives. Healthy leadership does not teach people that criticism is automatically satanic, that outside opinions are worthless, or that loyalty to the organization is the same as loyalty to God.
Carn uses the Tower of Babel as a model for organizational unity, arguing that the people became unstoppable because they spoke the same language. He then applies that idea to Kingdom City Church and tells members that they must continue saying the same thing to protect the ministry. He instructs them to declare that “KCC ain’t going under,” to repeat the church’s vision at the table, in the car, and even on blogs.
This sermon appears to come during a difficult period involving a legal matter and problems surrounding the church building. Instead of offering transparency about those issues, Carn warns the congregation against critics, negative reports, and outside voices. He even publicly insults and blocks people in the livestream who question him.
That is where this begins to look extremely cultish.
The Bible does condemn gossip, slander, and divisiveness. However, Scripture also commands believers to test everything, examine teachers, judge prophecy, expose darkness, confront sin, and hold church leaders to a higher standard.
Biblical unity is unity around Jesus Christ, truth, sound doctrine, holiness, and the gospel. It is not blind agreement with a pastor. It is not refusing to hear evidence. It is not repeating whatever leadership says. It is not cutting off anyone who asks difficult questions.
A pastor should never become the unquestionable narrator of reality for an entire congregation.
In this video, we will examine Brian Carn’s statements in context, compare them with Scripture, and explain why warning church members to stay away from critics is such a serious red flag.
