Brown portrayed his relationship with Kim as a โmutual emotional affairโ with a peer, but Ray and Jordan tell a very different storyโone marked by manipulation, power imbalance, and deeply inappropriate behavior.
They speak plainly and powerfully about what actually happened, the damage caused by Brownโs narrative, and why it matters that the truth about Kim be knownโespecially since she is no longer here to defend herself.
Brownโs version of events has recently been platformed by Landon and Heather Schott on the Mercy Culture Podcast, where he presented himself as the victim of false accusations. But in this episode, Ray and Jordan bring a sobering and credible correctionโone that challenges the narrative being pushed and calls for truth, not damage control.

We cover a moment where a Mercy Culture Justice Leader publicly shuts down someone for questioning Landon Schottโs prophecy โ and how Landon himself warns his congregation not to listen to podcasters or journalists who ask hard questions. But that kind of control doesnโt just silence dissent โ it cuts people off from information, from accountability, and sometimes even from close family relationships.

Instead of addressing the truth with sobriety and repentance, Mercy Culture appeared to double down, spiritualizing their support for Dr. Brown and framing whistleblowers as enemies of revival.
Did Mercy Culture elders misrepresent the report to protect their narrative? Did Landon Schott tell members to either submit to his view of Dr. Brown or leave the church? Were critics dismissed as rebellious or influenced by a โJezebel spiritโ? Did the congregation give a standing ovation in the face of serious allegations?

*ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE SOLELY OUR OPINION AND MEANT FOR PUBLIC DISCOURSE PURPOSES*Michael Brown Victim, Sarah Monk, SPEAKS OUT about Elders Accountability StatementWake Up and Win Podcast2025-05-02 | A group of elders released their official "assessment" of Dr. Michael Brownโfollowing the explosive Firefly Report, which documented serious concerns about clergy sexual misconduct and deception. Their conclusion? Brown has always been โrepentantโ and should stay in ministry.
In this solo episode, Sarah Monk bravely speaks out via a friend Natalie Lewis.
*ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE SOLELY OUR OPINION AND MEANT FOR PUBLIC DISCOURSE PURPOSES*Michael Brown Fired a PredatorโThen Let Him Run an Orphanage in Haiti???Wake Up and Win Podcast2025-05-02 | In this damning episode, we sit down with Natalie Lewis, one of three mothers who confronted Dr. Michael Brown and Globe Missions about the abuse their children endured at a Haitian orphanage. For the first time, Natalie responds directly to Michael Brownโs recent public statement, and we read powerful written responses from the other two whistleblower moms, Milissa McGavin and Kjersti Johnson.
Dr. Michael Brown helped remove missionary Keith Lashbrook from his ministry school in 2008 due to clergy sexual misconduct. But instead of reporting Lashbrook to Globe Missionsโor warning others about what happenedโBrown allegedly allowed him to continue working with vulnerable children in Haiti. The results were catastrophic.
This episode is not just about exposing the cover-up. Itโs about what could have been prevented, and the voices of the mothers who lived through it.
*ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE SOLELY OUR OPINION AND MEANT FOR PUBLIC DISCOURSE PURPOSES*Josiah Johnsons (Jeremiahs Brother) Shocking Spiritual Abuse Allegations - Stuart & KayCee GrahamWake Up and Win Podcast2025-04-30 | Stuart and KayCee Graham from @swordandtrowelmin were deeply involved in โThe Fellowship,โ a church led by Josiah and Jenn Johnson (Josiah being the brother of well-known prophet Jeremiah Johnson). What they experiencedโand witnessedโwas next-level spiritual abuse.
Allegedly, they were pressured to move cities at Josiahโs command. When they didnโt, they were told they were โbreaking up the family.โ
There wasnโt just manipulation โ there was spiritual control, reinforced through hundreds of text messages that Stuart and KayCee still have today as documented proof.
In this episode, they share their story publicly to protect others from enduring the same.
And while Josiah Johnson is currently positioning himself as a whistleblower against his brother Jeremiah (which we as Wake Up and Win believe his testimony), itโs critical that the broader whistleblower and advocate community knows: Josiah himself has serious issues that cannot be ignored.
Abuse is abuseโno matter whoโs calling it out.

*ALL VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE SOLELY OUR OPINION AND MEANT FOR PUBLIC DISCOURSE PURPOSES*Michael Brown GETS A PASS?!? Elders Speak Out...Wake Up and Win Podcast2025-04-29 | A group of elders released their official "assessment" of Dr. Michael Brownโfollowing the explosive Firefly Report, which documented serious concerns about clergy sexual misconduct and deception. Their conclusion? Brown has always been โrepentantโ and should stay in ministry.
In this solo episode, I respond directlyโand unapologetically.
I highlight key contradictions between the elders' statement and what the Firefly Report actually revealsโspecifically how Brown told different stories to different people over the years, yet the elders still claim he was โconsistent.โ
When leaders refuse to tell the truth, they protect the system, not the victims.
