• John Lindell, a prominent pastor in our community and the evangelical Church, made false statements during the Wednesday night Prayer Meeting on April 17, 2024. These statements were not only broadcasted globally but he has since doubled down on them. This behavior is unacceptable and undermines the trust of those who look up to him for guidance and leadership. We believe that it is crucial for leaders like Lindell to uphold truthfulness and integrity in their public communications. Therefore, we call upon John Lindell to publicly repent of his false statements and apologize for any confusion or harm they may have caused. By signing this petition, you are standing up for honesty and accountability in church leadership.

• By signing this, you are asking that John Lindell repent of:

• Calling Alex Magala a born again believer in Jesus Christ and repentant (please refer to Alex's words in his own videos). This is important because it was the #1 point of John's argument on 4/17/24.
• Being caught up in pride that has thus far kept John from repenting -- causing disunity.
• Encouraging people in the evangelical church to spread lies about Alex.
• Any other information that has been published under a false pretense (points 1-3 are objective statements. There could be more that has been deceptive such as using "do not touch the Lord's anointed" to quell criticism within the church -- even though that phrase has no New Testament application).

• "A faithful witness does not lie,
      but a false witness breathes out lies." -Proverbs 14:5

      and he who breathes out lies will not escape." -Proverbs 19:5
