Описание: Part 1 of The Real David Platt: The Hijacking of McLean Bible Church exposes the shocking origin story behind one of the most devastating church scandals in modern evangelical history. Once a thriving, gospel-centered congregation in the heart of Washington, D.C., McLean Bible Church (MBC) was nearly dismantled under the leadership of David Platt—through a calculated mix of false teaching, spiritual manipulation, and authoritarian control.

This episode traces how David Platt rose to power, and how his now-infamous pulpit claim—“We are not a member of the Southern Baptist Convention”—became known as The Great Deception. In reality, SBC-aligned leadership had already infiltrated MBC, quietly restructuring ministries, silencing faithful members, labeling long-standing outreach efforts as “shallow,” and eliminating any resistance to their agenda.

The film reveals how Platt’s leadership team erased the legacy of beloved former pastor Lon Solomon, suppressed transparency, and consolidated power—leading to a wave of internal conflict and spiritual disillusionment. It culminates with the March 31, 2021 congregational meeting, where courageous members stood up to the elder board in defense of truth, Scripture, and church accountability.

📽️ Featuring exclusive interviews and firsthand testimonies from former elders, volunteers, and longtime members, this is the beginning of a powerful exposé on church corruption, spiritual abuse, and the systematic hijacking of McLean Bible Church.
