Amanda Grace of Ark of Grace Ministries recently set the internet abuzz with her bold proclamation: “Politico has fallen, Goliath has fallen.” While this might sound like headline news, Politico, the prominent political news outlet, hasn’t shut its doors—yet. But Grace’s words point to the undeniable signs of instability many are beginning to notice: the shifting sands beneath mainstream media’s feet.

Grace’s prophetic word claims that Politico “did not pay any of their employees because they were largely funded by USAID,” and that this funding was cut off with the influence of “President Trump, with I believe the help of maybe Elon Musk.” Recent reports have indeed confirmed that Politico missed payroll, which they later claimed was due to a technical issue, lending unexpected weight to Grace’s statement. While the full extent of Trump and Musk’s involvement in cutting off USAID funding remains to be fully understood, the funding issues are undeniable.

“This is prophecy fulfilling,” Grace says, “and I’m going to show you how.”

Adding fuel to the fire, traditional media giants like MSNBC and CNN have been grappling with plummeting viewership numbers. Audiences are increasingly turning to alternative platforms for news, a trend Grace foresaw back in December 2020: “There shall be a collapse of an entire media entity… what Babel has built shall be confused and false says the Lord of hosts this day.” While the exact “collapse” she mentions may yet be in its early stages, the trajectory is hard to ignore.

Grace also referenced a November 2022 prophecy: “For I the Lord in this hour am shaking the thin paper doll leaders. No substance, thin and frail in their spirits. Those covers shall be removed says the Lord, for they have brushed to the side their first love for a name that is not mine says the Lord. It is not mine and that standard I am so raising is the plum line being dropped to measure the worthiness of leadership in the church, in the government, in sectors. The plum line is being dropped hard and fast on the giants of social media for it shall take one simple stone. … What does not look dangerous but shall collapse. Parts deep within their empires including the main frame says the Lord.”

Whether this “main frame” refers to the ideological foundation of mainstream media or something more literal, the cracks are visible. The media’s traditional grip is loosening as audiences seek out “truth through other media sources that shall and will glorify my name,” as Grace puts it.

In a recent video, L.A. Marzulli dives into an article by prolific author and prophecy expert Terry James, titled, “What Would Jesus’ Response Be to Pastors Refusing to Discern the Times?” Marzulli, a familiar voice in the biblical prophecy community, doesn’t hold back in sharing his thoughts, weaving biblical prophecy with today’s headlines.

“Jesus looked directly and deeply into the eyes of the pious religionists and elitist legalists…” Marzulli reads from James’ article, setting the stage for a comparison between the Pharisees of old and today’s clergy. According to James, and echoed by Marzulli, Jesus’ harshest rebukes were reserved for those who should’ve known better—the very people tasked with teaching God’s Word yet failing to recognize the signs around them.

“Oh ye Hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times,” Marzulli quotes from Matthew 16:3, drawing a clear line between biblical times and today’s pastors.

But Marzulli doesn’t stop at Scripture; he’s got modern issues on his mind, too.

He points to real-world crises like child trafficking and the fentanyl epidemic, asking, “Are you kidding me? Look at the fentanyl.. in the United States… The child trafficking has to stop.” For Marzulli, these aren’t just societal problems—they’re signs of the times, evidence of a world spiraling into rebellion against God.

He’s also critical of church leaders who sidestep prophetic Scripture.

“Yet only a very few pastors in the pulpits will touch on the prophetic portions. If they do, they spiritualize it or allegorize it to such an extent that they give their congregations little indication that these are things to come in a literal sense.” To Marzulli, this is more than theological laziness; it’s a failure to prepare believers for what’s coming.

Marzulli highlights fulfilled prophecies as proof of the Bible’s accuracy, pointing to the establishment of Israel in 1948. “I will plant them in their land, and never again will they be plucked up out of the land I have given them,” he recites from Amos 9:14-15. “That prophecy has been fulfilled.”

One of the more fascinating parts of Marzulli’s talk involves what he calls “the coming great deception.” He suggests that extraterrestrial phenomena are part of this deception, kept at bay only by “the Spirit of the living God.” He says, “The restrainer is holding back the revealing of the so-called extraterrestrial… That’s the spirit of a living God.”

And yes, Marzulli goes there—the rapture. Defending the pre-tribulation rapture theory, he quotes 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with the shout, with the voice of the archangel, of the trump of God… We who are alive and remain will be caught up together with those in the clouds.” He pushes back against critics who dismiss this belief as a modern invention, stating, “If you really believe that, then you have no idea of the history of the biblical narrative.”

Marzulli’s gives a clear and urgent message to all believers, saying, “It’s time for Christians to be discerners. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil.” For him, the signs are everywhere, and Christians need to wake up and pay attention.

For years, evangelist Perry Stone has shared his vivid dreams and visions with his followers, often pointing to natural disasters as signs of biblical prophecy. In his latest video, Stone recounts a particularly striking dream about a tsunami hitting the United States, and he believes it’s not just a matter of “if,” but “when” such an event will occur.

“Recently, perhaps the most vivid and clear and detailed tsunami experience occurred to me very early in the morning several weeks ago,” Stone shares. “I just felt like it was time to begin to share with you some of the details.”

The Bible Connection

Stone roots his warnings in Scripture, particularly Luke 21:24-27, which speaks of the “sea and the waves roaring” as a sign of the last days. “When this begins to happen,” Stone reads from the Bible, “we read men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.”

Stone interprets this as a literal reference to natural disasters like hurricanes and tsunamis. “When you look at this passage, I looked at the word roaring, and it comes out of a Greek word that means an echo sound which is coming from the waves or coming from the sea,” he explains.

The Tsunami Dream

In this recent vision, Stone was in a U.S. coastal city attending a ministers’ conference with friends like Jentezen Franklin, Tony Scott and his wife, Pam. While walking across a bridge, Stone overheard a young girl say, “Daddy, did you hear about the big earthquake that happened?” Moments later, a massive tsunami appeared in the distance.

“I said, ‘Tony, oh my goodness, there’s a tsunami coming this way,’” Stone recounts. He describes how they clung to metal bars on the bridge as the wave crashed into the city, sweeping away buses and cars. The scene shifted to knee-deep water flooding the streets, with people in shock and disbelief.

Practical Steps to Prepare

While Stone’s message may sound alarming, he offers practical advice on how to prepare for such disasters:

1. Move to Higher Ground: “If you’re in a coastal area and you hear the alarms go off, immediately get to somewhere where it’s higher ground.”
2. Watch Animal Behavior: “The elephants in Indonesia began running from the coastal areas up to the mountains… animals have a sensitivity… they can tell when an earthquake is about to happen.”
3. Keep Your Gas Tank Full: “I never go under a fourth of a tank of gas in any vehicle… always remember you’re going to have gas stations of people trying to get fuel.”
4. Prepare a Bug-Out Bag: “It has bottles of water, long-term snacks, a couple change of outfits, and small bills.”
5. Have a Family Plan: “Know how to get to your children in the case of an emergency… keep your phone charged and keep that charger available at all times.”

A Call to Be Ready, Not Afraid

Stone is clear that his dreams are not meant to scare but to prepare. “The best thing to do is do not be scared but always be prepared,” he advises.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on recent political developments, you may have heard about President Trump’s latest announcements concerning Israel. But there’s more to the story than just politics. A recent video from AoC Network dives deep into how these moves are seen as stepping stones to fulfilling end-time Bible prophecy.

Let’s unpack what they’re saying—because whether you’re a believer in Bible prophecy or just curious about how politics and religion intersect, it’s fascinating stuff.

Trump’s Moves and Biblical Ties

The video highlights Trump’s past and current actions in Israel, such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the U.S. Embassy there, and brokering the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations. These aren’t just diplomatic wins; they’re part of a larger prophetic puzzle.

And here’s where it gets interesting: Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, is portrayed as the mastermind behind these initiatives. With his deep ties to Israel and background in real estate, the video suggests Kushner might even play a role in building the Third Temple in Jerusalem—a significant event in end-time prophecy.

The Gaza Factor

One of the most eye-catching claims is about U.S. control over Gaza. The video suggests that America’s involvement in Gaza is not just political maneuvering but a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Scriptures often associate Gaza with conflict and destruction, and the video argues that current tensions are all part of a divine plan.

But it doesn’t stop there. The idea is that U.S. control could lead to even more conflict, drawing in surrounding nations—and according to prophecy, this escalating tension is a sign that Jesus’ return is near.

Peace or False Peace?

The video walks a fine line between hope and caution. On one hand, there’s excitement about Israel’s “thriving” future as a sign of prophecy being fulfilled. On the other, there’s a warning about a “false Messiah” who will promise peace but lead to “sudden destruction.”

This ties into Scriptures like Zechariah 14, which predicts nations will gather against Israel, only for Jesus to return and defeat them. The video suggests that while Trump and Kushner’s peace efforts may seem promising, they’re just temporary steps leading to inevitable conflict.

Kushner and the Third Temple

A particularly intriguing point is the focus on Kushner’s real estate skills—not just as a businessman, but as someone who might help build the Third Temple in Jerusalem. The video even notes his purchase of 666 Fifth Avenue as a “sign” of his role in these prophetic events.

When Mondo Gonzales talks about giants in the Bible, he’s not speaking metaphorically. In an interview with Charisma Media, the archaeologist and prophecy expert with Prophecy Watchers deep-dives into the biblical and historical roots of giants like the Nephilim, Rephaim and Anakim—and the modern implications of these ancient beings.

“Let’s go further back in Genesis 14,” Gonzales begins, referencing Abraham’s encounter with the Rephaim after the flood. “It’s the first place that the word Rephaim, which is a synonym for Nephilim, like Anakim… these giants… appears.” These ancient tribes weren’t just myths; they occupied regions like Bashan, east of the Sea of Galilee, and later spread throughout Canaan and beyond.

Fast forward to the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, and Gonzales paints a vivid picture of a land teeming with giants. “During those centuries, the enemy filled Canaan with giants,” he says, referencing the terror that gripped the 12 spies in Numbers 13:33. But God had already begun clearing the path. “The Zamzummim used to live over there… the Emim used to live over there… God took care of them,” Gonzales recounts, pointing to Moses’ reassurance that Israel would conquer the remaining tribes.

Joshua 11 describes how Israel defeated many of these giants, but not all. “Some of them fled,” Gonzales explains. “Where did they flee? They fled west… to Philistine cities like Ashdod, Gaza and Gath.” And it’s here that the story ties directly to one of the Bible’s most famous giants: Goliath. “Where is Goliath from? He’s from Gath,” Gonzales notes. His archaeological work in Gath uncovered large structures and even inscriptions bearing names similar to Goliath’s.

But Gonzales doesn’t stop at history. He draws a line from ancient giants to modern spiritual strongholds. “The fact that you have this demonic stronghold in the city of Gaza… it’s rooted in this geographic area,” he says, highlighting the region’s continued conflict. “The patterns are undeniable.”

Interestingly, Gonzales observes that after David’s time, biblical references to giants diminish, but demonic activity surges in the New Testament. “If you read the Old Testament and then come to the first pages of Matthew… you’re like, where do these beings come from?” Gonzales asks. “They’re on every other page in the four Gospels.” He suggests this isn’t coincidence but a calculated effort by Satan to thwart Jesus’ mission. “They know their future. They know who He is… but they were there to interrupt.”

Despite the darkness of these accounts, Gonzales sees them as affirmations of God’s sovereignty. “Whether we study Revelation or Genesis, anything that God gives in the Bible always points ultimately to the truthfulness of His Word,” he emphasizes.

Prophecy, he argues, is key.

In a recent “End of Days Update,” Joseph Morris delivers his signature blend of biblical prophecy, current events and end-time enthusiasm. Broadcasting from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Morris dives headfirst into the “different things that point to the coming of the Lord,” while making sure his listeners stay hopeful and energized.

Morris kicks things off with a reminder: “The Rapture is signless, and the Second Coming has tons of signs.” In a point he’s made before, he clarifies how “the Tribulation doesn’t start at the rapture. The Tribulation starts when Israel signs an agreement with the Antichrist.” According to Morris, recent global events are “a complete undercurrent and undertow of things getting ready for the Antichrist to come on the scene.”

But Morris’ message isn’t one of fear. He insists, “If you hear end time preaching that scares you, it’s not Bible. It’s to bring you joy.” For Morris, understanding these signs isn’t about panic but about preparation and excitement: “Soon and very soon, we’re going to see the King!”

Morris points to recent developments in Israel as key indicators of prophetic fulfillment. “America finally went ahead and said Israel can get a billion dollar’s worth of aid for arms,” he notes, adding that “those bunker-buster bombs that were sent last week look like they’re coming in right now.” He highlights the significance of Benjamin Netanyahu being “the first leader of state that would come to America for our new President Trump.”

Morris doesn’t shy away from controversial takes, especially regarding Gaza. Quoting Trump, he recounts, “You know the other nations in the Middle East when they have beachfront property, they make a golf course, they make a resort. And what does Gaza do? What does Hamas do? They build underground tunnels and bombs.”

The geopolitical landscape, especially alliances involving Russia, Turkey and Iran, is another focal point. Morris observes, “That’s what comes down on Israel just after the rapture of the church when you see those alliances that they’ve been making.” He mentions Iran’s nuclear program, Turkey’s ambitions, and military actions in Syria, all tying back to biblical prophecies.

On the technological front, Morris highlights, “America did [what] was pretty radical this week—they unveiled their new laser weapon. It’ll not only take out drones, it will take out ships.” This, paired with “Russia with Iran started touting their new drones that had long range and had missile capacity,” feeds into his narrative of escalating global tensions.

Morris draws a historical parallel, noting that major world conflicts have coincided with pivotal moments for Israel. “What you have happen in 1917 when Allenby came in and got Israel their land—World War I. Same thing with Israel right after World War II—Israel got their land back in 1948.” He suggests that “the church [is] about to hand off to the Jews,” and that “World War III” could be imminent.

Signs aren’t limited to politics and war. Morris talks about natural phenomena and celestial events as divine signals. “Almost every week we’re watching debris from asteroids coming down hitting the earth,” he says. He also notes the approaching “blood red moons on Passover and Tabernacles,” drawing connections to historical events like “1967 when Jerusalem was won back” and “1948 when Israel was made a nation.”

When a celebrity like Russell Brand announces a dramatic life shift, it’s bound to make headlines. But Brand’s journey to Christianity isn’t just another headline—it’s a profound story of brokenness, surrender and transformation.

In a recent appearance on the Apologetics Canada podcast, Brand opened up about his unexpected path to faith, sharing candid reflections that resonate far beyond his fame. He didn’t grow up religious, “I grew up without a religion,” Brand says. “Like most English people, there was no glory, no mystery, no celebration, no baptism.” Instead, he was raised in Grays, a working-class town he described as “a banal and bland spilled suburban wasteland of low expectations.” His worldview was shaped by survival and later, by a pursuit of fame, pleasure and self-indulgence.

But even as he achieved everything society promised would bring fulfillment—notoriety, wealth and the pleasures of the world—Brand found himself empty.

“Only after I’d come to everything else did I come to Christ,” he admits. “Only after I tried drugs and addiction and approval and fame and privilege and indulgence… after the false idols lay broken, there in the shards and ashes… there He was.”

It wasn’t a philosophical argument or an intellectual journey that led Brand to faith.

“I came to Christ in crisis. I came to Christ in pain. I came to Christ in brokenness,” he shares. His realization was stark: “The idea that the goal of one’s life is oneself… why would you think that it’s your life? Where did you get that idea from…?”

Despite dabbling in various spiritual and philosophical ideas throughout his life, it was the cross that finally broke through.

“When His body breaks, somehow that broke me,” Brand confessed. “I didn’t want just some other man or even man-God in me… But that act of supreme sacrifice, that new covenant, it shattered something in me.”

Brand’s battle with addiction played a pivotal role in his spiritual journey. He speaks openly about the emptiness of his indulgences, particularly in how they masked his deeper longing for God.

“If you are looking for God, you can never have enough of what you don’t really want,” he said. This insight extended to his views on pornography, which he described as “literally diabolical.”

“It’s sacralizing the profane and making profane the sacred,” he warns, explaining how it dehumanizes both the viewer and those being viewed.

Brand’s baptism marked a turning point.

“Standing in the water of the River Thames, dipping me backward… in the midst of personal apocalypse, there He is on the cross… intimate and accessible, all-powerful, totally broken and vulnerable.” This moment wasn’t just symbolic; it was transformative. “It’s over. It is finished,” he declared.

For those skeptical of his conversion, Brand has a simple response: “I’m not trying to be a Christian in someone else’s head. I don’t care what they do in there… I’m dealing with Christ.” His focus isn’t on public perception but on a personal relationship with Jesus.

“By His stripes, I am saved. I am healed. I am held by Him.”

When it comes to the supernatural, few voices are as compelling as LA Marzulli. Known for his deep dives into Nephilim lore, UFO phenomena and biblical prophecy, Marzulli fields questions from his audience that span from ancient history to modern-day mysteries. Here’s a closer look at how he tackles some of the most intriguing inquiries.

1. Are Bigfoot creatures real, and could they be Nephilim?

“I believe that Bigfoot are Nephilim,” Marzulli states confidently. “They are genetically manipulated… this has been going on for years. If you go back to the Gimlin-Patterson film… you watch the creature going through the woods and then it turns its head and when it does so it reveals its right breast to the camera… it’s definitely a female walking because you can plainly see the breast. So it’s not a guy in a gorilla suit.” Marzulli believes sightings of Bigfoot, especially those showing unusual features like elongated skulls, are linked to ancient, supernatural entities.

2. What are your thoughts on the 2017 and 2024 solar eclipses intersecting near the New Madrid fault line?

“I don’t know,” Marzulli admits, “but I know about it and so I watch… I realize the cities where allegedly the X crosses, there’s some funky stuff going on there.” While he doesn’t provide a firm answer, he suggests there could be deeper prophetic implications tied to these astronomical events.

3. Have you encountered or witnessed witchcraft activities?

“There was a pentagram within the circle… and in the center is a slaughtered… animal,” Marzulli recounts of a disturbing discovery outside a Malibu church. “I told the congregation what I had seen… I was laughed at… three months later, the whole church splits, two years later the pastor dies.” His personal experiences with witchcraft underscore his belief in spiritual warfare actively occurring in modern society.

4. What are your thoughts on the age of the Earth and ancient civilizations?

“I believe the Earth is far older than 6,000 years,” Marzulli explains. “I believe mankind [has been] on the earth 10 to 12,000 years… something cataclysmic happened on this Earth… that cataclysm was a result of the rebellion of the fallen angels.” He challenges young Earth creationist views, suggesting a more ancient, complex history.

5. How do you reconcile the pre-Adamic creation with the biblical narrative?

“I believe there was a pre-Adamic creation that was destroyed due to the rebellion of fallen angels,” Marzulli says. “Then there’s a period of time we don’t know how long and then there’s a recreation… The Genesis account is a recreation following this destruction.” This idea reshapes traditional interpretations of the biblical creation story.

6. Are extraterrestrials real, and what is their nature?

“They are not our space brothers,” Marzulli insists. “They are… interdimensional entities… fallen angels… They abduct people, do nefarious experiments… These are not extraterrestrials… and their seed living with the seed of men.” He views UFOs and alien encounters as deceptive manifestations of spiritual beings.

7. What do you think about advanced ancient civilizations and their connection to fallen angels?

“Ancient civilizations were highly advanced… due to interactions with fallen angels,” Marzulli asserts. “The presence and influence of fallen angels exchanging their knowledge for the daughters of men… contributed to the corruption of humanity prior to Noah’s flood.” He ties ancient technological prowess to forbidden knowledge shared by these entities.

8. How do Bigfoot and other cryptids fit into biblical prophecy?

“These are… the beasts of the earth mentioned in Revelation,” Marzulli explains. “You get a 12 to 14 foot Bigfoot coming into your town and they can bilocate… they disappear… These are, in my opinion, modern-day Nephilim.” He suggests that these beings are part of the end-times narrative and manifestations of demonic forces.

9. Do you think the current increase in supernatural activity is a sign of the end times?

“The rise in supernatural… phenomena is a clear sign of the end times,” Marzulli says. “Jesus said it would be like the days of Noah… Even the elect would be deceived if that were possible.” He sees modern paranormal activity as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy about widespread deception and spiritual warfare.

10. How should Christians respond to these supernatural events?

“Stay informed and grounded in biblical truth,” Marzulli advises. “Recognize the spiritual nature of these phenomena… and remain vigilant against deception… Hope is found in a relationship with Jesus.” He encourages believers to navigate these complexities through faith and scriptural understanding.

Life has a way of shifting relationships, sometimes in ways that are painful or confusing. But what if these changes aren’t random?

In a recent video, Isaiah Saldivar dives into why God might be the one orchestrating the removal of certain people from your life. Here are 10 possible reasons, each grounded in Scripture and personal experience.

1. Protection from Harm
“God sees their intentions, God sees hidden dangers that might be within their heart that you can’t see,” Saldivar says.

Sometimes, people in our lives carry unseen dangers—toxic attitudes, harmful behaviors—that can endanger not just our well-being but our very souls. God may remove these individuals as an act of protection, even if it feels painful in the moment.

2. Preventing Unequal Yoking
“Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers… How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness?” Saldivar explains.

Relationships that pull us away from our faith can hinder spiritual growth. Whether it’s friendships, romantic relationships, or work partnerships, God may separate you from those who don’t align with His will for your life.

3. Refocusing Priorities
“When you start placing people above God… God will step in and sometimes remove them to redirect your focus,” Saldivar says.

When a relationship becomes an idol—taking precedence over your relationship with God—it disrupts spiritual balance. God may remove those individuals to help realign your priorities and bring your focus back to Him.

4. Encouraging Spiritual Growth
“God wants your relationships to sharpen you… when you have people around that are spiritually harmful, God may remove them,” Saldivar notes.

If the people around you are keeping you spiritually stagnant or complacent, God may clear them out to make room for relationships that challenge and encourage your faith journey.

5. Discipline and Correction
“The Lord disciplines those He loves… If a relationship is leading you into sin or away from God, God will remove that as part of loving discipline,” Saldivar explains.

Just like a parent disciplines a child out of love, God may remove relationships that lead you down the wrong path. This isn’t rejection—it’s correction.

6. Opening New Opportunities
“When God is removing someone, it might be because He’s creating space for someone new,” Saldivar says.

Sometimes, letting go of one person makes room for someone better suited to your life’s purpose. God is always working to align your relationships with His greater plan.

7. Testing Your Trust in Him
“Losing someone you value can be a test of faith… God can separate you to see if you trust Him fully,” Saldivar points out.

When God removes people from your life, it’s an opportunity to lean deeper into your faith and trust that He knows what’s best, even when it’s hard to understand.

8. Breaking Generational or Spiritual Bondages
“Some people will keep you tied to those old patterns… God can remove them to help you walk in freedom,” Saldivar states.

People from your past can hold you back from the new life God has for you. Removing these connections can break unhealthy cycles and allow you to walk in spiritual freedom.

9. Fulfilling His Plan for Your Life
“Not every person you know right now is meant to be part of your journey,” Saldivar emphasizes.

Some relationships are only meant for a season. Trust that when God removes someone, He’s aligning your life with His purpose, even if it means letting go of people you thought were permanent.

10. Encouraging Complete Dependence on Him
“God wants to be your ultimate source of peace, of joy, of pleasure, of life,” Saldivar continues.

When relationships become crutches that replace your dependence on God, He may remove them to draw you closer to Him. Your deepest connection should always be with God.

In an era where God is dismantling facades, Bishop Mariann Budde’s actions have thrust her into the spotlight—and not for reasons aligning with her public persona. As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Budde, who famously criticized President Donald Trump during an inaugural prayer service, has been exposed for pocketing a staggering $53 million in taxpayer funds through her organization, Episcopal Migration Ministries.

Budde’s words during the National Prayer Service painted her as a champion for the vulnerable. She implored President Trump to show compassion towards groups like illegal immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community. However, her sanctimonious appeals now ring hollow in light of revelations about the financial windfall her organization has reaped from federal programs. The very compassion she championed appears entangled with a profit motive, as EMM cashed in $53 million in 2023 alone to resettle just 3,600 individuals.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

The hypocrisy is glaring. While Bishop Budde’s moral posturing calls for social justice, her organization’s deep entanglement with federal funds raises uncomfortable questions about the true motivations behind these advocacy efforts. As the New York Post detailed, in 2024, EMM “sponsored” 6,400 individuals from 48 countries, including Afghans under special humanitarian programs and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo. These newcomers are immediately eligible for welfare benefits comparable to those available to U.S. citizens, a policy that further fuels public debate about resource allocation and national priorities.

Yet, it doesn’t end there. The financial mechanisms underpinning EMM’s operations reveal a sophisticated network designed to maximize profit. The Episcopal Church, legally separate from EMM, actively lobbies in D.C. for programs that directly benefit EMM’s resettlement efforts. Through programs like “Preferred Communities,” initiated during the Obama administration, EMM receives premium payments for resettling refugees facing social or psychological challenges, including LGBTQ+ individuals and survivors of torture.

Moreover, the so-called “Matching Grant” program exemplifies the exploitation of public-private partnerships. For every dollar EMM receives from the Department of Health and Human Services, they only need to contribute 10 cents, supplemented by in-kind donations like used cars and volunteer hours. Even more troubling is the Episcopal Church’s commission on travel loans made to refugees. The taxpayer funds the International Organization for Migration, which provides interest-free airfare loans to refugees.
