BETHEL ADMITS: The Shawn Bolz Scandal & “Unsanctified Mercy” Exposed ⚖️ (Biblical Investigation)
Bethel Church leadership has finally broken their silence, admitting to a “grave failure” in the Shawn Bolz scandal.

In a stunning Sunday morning confession, Bethel Church leadership admitted that loyalty to a friend was prioritized over the safety of the flock.
