À propos de cet audio

 Episode Summary:In this episode, we examine the devastating consequences of unchecked power within the Vineyard Movement, focusing on the story of Jackson Gatlin—son of Duluth Vineyard’s senior pastors Michael and Brenda Gatlin.We explore the early warning signs ignored by leadership, the conflicts of interest that allowed Jackson to rise unchecked, and the culture of silence that protected him for years. We also unpack how Duluth Vineyard eventually broke from the pattern of institutional cover-up by reporting allegations to law enforcement, despite resistance from Vineyard USA leadership.This is a story not just about one family’s failure—but about a system designed to protect itself at the expense of the vulnerable.Topics Covered:• Who Jackson Gatlin was, and the early red flags during his teenage years.• Brenda Gatlin’s push to place Jackson in ministry despite concerns.• Jackson’s involvement in youth ministry and later HLI (Heroic Leadership Institute).• A buried misconduct report involving allegations of spiritual abuse (Brenda) and sexual harassment (Jackson) sent to Vineyard USA.• The pivotal moment when a former youth group member came forward—and how John Kliewer reported it to police.• Vineyard USA’s internal pushback against Duluth’s independent investigation efforts.• Jackson Gatlin’s arrest, conviction, and the subsequent civil lawsuits.• The systemic failures in Vineyard USA’s leadership and accountability structures.Key References and Resources:• Duluth Vineyard’s public timeline and updates on the investigation:➔ Duluth Vineyard - Our Response to Allegations of Misconduct• Vineyard USA’s official statements regarding Duluth Vineyard:➔ Vineyard USA - Update Regarding Duluth Vineyard• GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment):➔ GRACE Official Website• Guidepost Solutions (later hired for a broader Vineyard assessment):➔ Guidepost Solutions• News coverage of Jackson Gatlin’s conviction:➔ Duluth News Tribune – Former Duluth Vineyard Youth Pastor Pleads Guilty• RAINN – National Sexual Assault Hotline (for survivors):➔ RAINN.org➔ 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)Resources for Survivors:• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network):➔ rainn.org | 1-800-656-HOPE• The Hotline (Emotional or Domestic Abuse Support):➔ thehotline.org | 1-800-799-SAFE• GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment):➔ netgrace.orgWays to Support Spoiled Fruit: Faith & Power:• Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform.• Rate and review the show to help others find it.• Share this episode with friends, family, or anyone exploring issues of faith, power, and accountability.• Follow John Williamson for updates on future projects.Disclaimer:Spoiled Fruit: Faith & Power is a work of investigative journalism.
