Why Powerful Church Figures Are Afraid of Julie Roys
Manage episode 396612334 series 1300693
The Roys Report is a Christian media outlet, reporting the unvarnished truth about what’s happening in the Christian community so the church can be reformed and restored.
Founded by investigative journalist Julie Roys, The Roys Report began as a personal blog where Julie published her commentaries and occasional investigative pieces while working as a national radio host on Moody Radio. However, in 2018, Julie published a series of articles on her website, exposing corruption and mission drift at the Moody Bible Institute. This led to the exit of three top officers at Moody. It also ended Julie’s relationship with Moody and changed the focus of Julie’s website—from a blog offering cultural commentary to an independent Christian media outlet exposing corruption, abuse, and what’s been termed the “evangelical industrial complex.”
In 2018—2019, Julie wrote dozens of stories, revealing bullying, deceit, and financial abuse by celebrity preacher James MacDonald and Harvest Bible Chapel. In the course of her reporting, Harvest fired MacDonald and the entire board of elders at the church resigned.
Other issues Julie has exposed include the sexual misconduct of Ravi Zacharias; protection of pedophiles and punishment of abuse victims by John MacArthur; sexual abuse and mismanagement at Willow Creek Community Church; and a pattern of bullying and abuse within the Acts 29 church planting network.
