In this video, we’re talking about the bigger issue behind Jamal Bryant’s apology. Yes, he apologized for platforming Cheyenne Bryant. But what about the men who have been platformed for years while carrying serious public controversy?
What about Bishop Rudolph McKissick, who, according to recent reporting, is facing more than $3 million in IRS tax liens along with his wife? Reports say a federal tax lien filed in April 2026 alone was for more than $1.85 million, connected to unpaid taxes from prior years.
What about Brian Carn, who pleaded guilty to obstructing the IRS and was later sentenced to 9 months in federal prison? The Justice Department said Carn obstructed IRS collection efforts, and IRS Criminal Investigation said the tax loss was between $550,000 and $1.5 million.
And this is where the conversation gets uncomfortable.
Because the church has created a culture where influence often matters more than integrity. A person can have a big name, a big crowd, a big preaching gift, or a big platform, and suddenly everybody wants to ignore the obvious red flags. But Scripture never tells us to judge leaders by popularity. It tells us to examine fruit, doctrine, character, and accountability.
This is not about attacking people just to attack them. This is about asking whether the same standard is being applied across the board. If platforming Cheyenne Bryant required an apology, then why are so many churches silent when controversial preachers, prosperity voices, scandal-covered leaders, and legally troubled figures are still celebrated?
The Bible says leaders are supposed to be above reproach. Not perfect, but accountable. Not flawless, but qualified. Not untouchable celebrities, but servants who can be corrected.
So the question is simple:
Are we really sorry for platforming dangerous voices, or are we only sorry when the internet applies enough pressure?
Because if the church is going to repent, it cannot be selective repentance. It cannot be damage control. It cannot be public relations. It has to be biblical.
