Long before Kathryn Krick’s videos reached millions of viewers around the world, she was preaching to small crowds in Los Angeles parks, holding tightly to a promise she believed God had spoken over her life.
Now, in one of her most in-depth interviews to date, Krick sat down with Revival Nation host Bishop Alan DiDio to directly address the criticisms that have followed her ministry and to share the remarkable journey that led her from obscurity to global influence.
Krick’s story did not begin with revival meetings or viral videos. Raised in a Presbyterian church, she says she always believed in Jesus but did not truly understand what a personal relationship with God looked like.
“I never remember a single day doubting that Jesus is my Lord and Savior,” Krick said. “But I didn’t know how to have a relationship with God until about my mid-20s.”
After moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting, Krick says she encountered the power of the Holy Spirit in a life-changing way through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
“It was the first time I physically felt God,” she said. “My eyes instantly opened up to the love and majesty of Jesus.”
That encounter ultimately led her to abandon her dreams of a music career after receiving a prophetic word from Tanzanian minister Prophet GeorDavie, who told her she was called to ministry and would reach nations.
Yet the road was anything but easy.
Krick spent years preaching to tiny groups in Los Angeles. At one point, her church dwindled to just a handful of attendees meeting outdoors in a park during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There was one person there, and she left in the middle of the message,” Krick recalled. “Then I turned and preached to the livestream, not even knowing if anyone was watching.”

Despite the discouragement, Krick says she held onto prophetic promises that revival would come.
That breakthrough arrived in early 2021 when a 59-second video featuring testimonies and prayer suddenly exploded online, generating more than a million views and thousands of comments from people claiming to experience healing, freedom and encounters with God’s presence.
The interview also tackled one of the most controversial clips associated with her ministry—a video in which she instructed a woman to sow a financial seed in connection with her son’s deliverance.
Critics accused Krick of teaching that deliverance could be purchased. Krick firmly rejected that interpretation.
“Every miracle from God is completely free,” she said. “You can never buy a miracle.”
Instead, she argued the instruction was a specific prophetic direction connected to surrender and obedience rather than a doctrine requiring payment for freedom.
DiDio also pressed Krick about widely circulated clips showing her honoring GeorDavie with language that many viewers found troubling.
Krick acknowledged that some of her words were poorly chosen and revealed that she had publicly denounced certain statements years ago.
“The way I said it was not good,” she admitted. “I wish I could go back and say it in a different way.”
She maintained that her comments reflected gratitude for a spiritual mentor who helped introduce her to the power of God.
Throughout the conversation, both Krick and DiDio repeatedly emphasized the importance of evaluating ministries by their fruit rather than internet criticism.
For Krick, the focus remains simple.
“Jesus deserves all the glory,” she said. “I’m truly just a mere vessel.”
