Tony Evans UPDATE

Dear Dr. Evans, Jesus committed no sin and was demeaned and crucified.
So, just imagine what people might try to say or do to you.❤️
Keep moving forward, Sir. Your honesty (that you didn’t HAVE to mention) is very commendable.

I show wanna know 🤔

Been in church ministry and on staff. Multiple meetings means someone in the room DID NOT think him stepping down was needed because they highly likely were considering the popularity and money factor. They were trying to think thru all the angles...and Tony Evans himself obviously didn't say "I need to sit down anyway". People caught, get quiet and don't say much because the exposure is sitting heavy on him. He is very well aware of the hit his entire ministry and family will take. I wish these men would have thought about it before they slipped and dipped.

Julie Roys and her team do not play. She is an investigator. I did a little research and it definitely looks fishy the prior association of his new wife. Her dead ex-husband was president of Carver College while he was married to her. He died in January of 2020. Carver College had Tony Evans come to do a marriage conference in 2023. His engagement to former president's wife was a few months after that and then they got married in December 2023. How in the world did all that happen? It definitely appears this woman was looking for a come-up and had her sights on a bigger stage than her dead husband's. I wondered how could a woman who was so invested in her church and community, all of sudden uproot to Tony Evan's stage? Something obviously wasn't right behind all those curtains. And it's sad that as soon as she married Tony Evans, not even 6 months into their marriage , he is sat down. All her plans are now cancelled....at least for a very long time. She won't be able to brag about being on his arm or his wife ANYWHERE. This is very telling.

There is one thing to cover someone for what they did, which is a person’s choice. But to say I agree no matter what you do is scary. I have seen this, where everyone is afraid to speak on wrong doing. Everything matters as you said. There really is a lot of ignorance between this. So many prefer to put blinders over their eyes.

He will be back! This is his vacation time. He is taking this time to speak to his God and let him, forgive him and lead him in the right way due to his sin. Nothing will happen to his church. He already prepared his kids to run the church. How could it fall with his kids Jonathan, Crystal and Pricillia Schier, preaching? By the way, Pricilla has a new movie coming out. Everyone needs to go and see it.

It is crucial to have accountability in all aspects of life. We must be aware of our own sinfulness. Sometimes we're entrapped by our own pride, when people pedestalize us.

His elders are yes men. Do you think they wanna loose their place at the table in the big house. They might get sent to the field.

But not tell him what the sin is. He’s mocking his congregation and his followers on the radio and Internet.

I would be more inclined to think that the people who support him, no matter what, have sin they excuse in their own lives.

Many churches do not follow the Biblical model of elders being overseers of the congregation and holding the senior pastor accountable. At a lot of these larger churches the senior pastor holds all of the control. Because the elders had a hand in sitting Dr Evans down, people feel this is enough for accountability.

I do think there is more to this that leadership isn’t currently comfortable with sharing, particularly if there are other people involved who don’t want to go public at this time.

If anything this should emphasize why we should never idolize or think any pastor or church leader is perfect because we don’t know what is really happening behind closed doors.

This is a sad situation, he wascaught, he didn't come foward on his own. Alot of the ignorant comments come from people are not accepting the fact he did wrong, and they would rather just bury the situation. He ob b iosly did something so bad, he was told numerous times to step down. What a shame.

That's WHY things go on 30 Plus years because somebody KNOWS something ❤😮

If we don't confess (or we continue in) our sin, God will (eventually) bring it to light. Tony should have stepped down years ago. My spouse did the same thing. Confessed when he got caught. But, his confession was never genuine.

Those who say they don't care what he has done are so typical of Christians. They despise truth while proclaiming to be seekers of truth. It is always mind boggling to me when Christians side the sins of pastors thereby enabling them to continue with wrong doing. I am left to conclude that Christians are the dumbest and/ or wickedest people on earth. The statement that they don't care what he has done says so much. I agree 💯 with your analysis. They must read Proverbs 28 where it says the man who covers his sins is condemned. GUESS these christians loves a man TMH condemns more than TMH himself. Christianity is really insanity.

Probably had a secret affair 4 yrs with that lady

My opinion: Since he carries a flock, he DOES owe HIS FLOCK an explanation. He should absolutely confess to THEM what he did, ask for their forgiveness & God’s forgiveness, step aside & deal with what’s going on in his personal & spiritual life.

I agree, Tony just open a can of worms by not stating the sin. It will come out. Everyone is trying to guess what he did.

We can not come to conclusion until the facts are out. He does need to address this sin to his congregation. If it is a secret affair, then he has done the right thing. We all need to pray for Mr. Evans.

The blind loyalty is definitely idolatrous. The Bible is the standard. People should have had a right to know years ago in order to make the decision as to whether they wanted to stay under his leadership.

If the blind lead
the blind they both shall fall in the ditch. When you have no moral compass, no boundaries, and no govering you will follow anyone and any agenda, no questions asked.

This to me is the canary in the coal mine… this is getting so much attention ( in my opinion) because of what is going on in people’s heads added to his tiptoe towards his sin… I call it the canary because there are also narcissistic pastors who for years have been patted on the shoulder by church members while simultaneously devaluing their families and being controlling…my toe has been over this line… possible moral sin and possible affairs seem to trump other hurtful sins perpetrated by church leaders…

I live in the DFW area and an email was sent asking us to come to and join for prayer but shortly after they sent a message back and canceled the pray session.

Yes, it is an ignorant statement because behaviors of leaders in churches are in positions of trust and whatever it is that Tony Evans has decided to come clean about has created doubt in individuals that not just had trust in him, but rather who had trust in his preaching of God's word. Even though people shouldn't look at pastors as infallible, these people do put a certain amount trust in what this leader has said. We often want to see the good in leaders, but they are human and subject to error and/or mistakes and it does matter when interpretation of the Word may or may not impact you if you see a contradiction. I often say, I will follow you as long as you follow Christ once it's determined that you are no longer following Christ then it's a wrap. When a spiritual leader hides impactful information about themselves, what does that say about character? Character matters in every walk of life. One thing we do know is whatever was done, it impacted more than just his life--it impacted others and they had to suffer with whatever it was or is even now!

The signs of adultery are there. His wife was afflicted and died of cancer. His new wife husband dies on the way to Pastor Evans' wife's funeral. They have known each other for years. Lois died in 2020, and he announces he is getting married in 2023? Plus, when he made that announcement, his children didn't look thrilled since his wife is very near their age. He said it wasn't criminal, so it sounds like adultery.

What did he do. No judgement

And he waited many years before stepping down.

Someone is gonna come out with something that's why he tried to come out first.. to late the trash is gonna be all over the place.

Like the host said, there are media outlets that will pay for this info. Stay tuned. The highest bidder will win

I think he’s been with a man or kids it’s some thing more than cheating right he suppose to confess his sin if he’s so sorry

I can't help but wonder if this is his call or the churches to not come forth with what the sin was to maintain image. Either way, he does owe those who followed his ministry answers, he is not above reproach, he is not God, and neither is the church! These people must not really know God...may he expose them both in Jesus Name.

Only sane person I’ve heard speak on this matter. These thoughts are exactly what I have been thinking

Ma’am, this is very objective, logical, ethical and compassionate reporting. I applaud you.

Lived in Plano, TX 25 years and never like him because he acted like he was a "GOD"!!! The people of his congregation gave me a cult feel following his rules for lifestyle, i.e. visiting folk homes to see how they were living, etc. He thought he was PERFECT!!! Kicking folk out the church as a result of their "sin." Isn't the church a hospital for the sin-sicked!!! Well now, I don't mean to gloat but I am cuz now he gets to bring his high pompous azz down to the real! IJS Sooooo glad to have moved and be years gone from that DFW mega church ish.

He must come clean because the Tithe and Offerings that supported this man have been misappropriated for evil.
That means people enabled God's resources to fund sinful activity.
His supporters need to pray for their participation thru lack of discernment.

You are right! The Bible tells us how to handle this. READ…1st Timothy 5:19-20 kjv.
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

People are so misguided and are far from Christ. They confuse worshipping Jesus as unconditional devotion to the preacher. They've confused Tony Evans immiral sin with Jesus'healing on th sabbath. Theses are same people who will give all their money to wealthy pastors and have nothing for retirement.

I don’t worship man, just God. Whatever happened he needs confession to God and the folk (in person and online). Confession is good for our souls.

This is sickening and why should he be allowed to cover his sin. YES SIN!

I wouldn’t give one penny to the church until he is transparent about his sin. What if your money was being used to pay for someone’s silence about his sin for years? Are his congregants ok with that?

Actually, I read his statement which does not include an apology or an expression of sorrow. Evans did not ask for forgiveness or state that he has sought forgiveness from God or from the people or person who was hurt or harmed. He didn't even ask his church to forgive him. I'm simply stating the obvious. If a leader is stepping away due to sin, shouldn't he apologize? We didn't open up this can of worms, Pastor Evans did that all by himself. I'm stating the obvious but met with offensive comments which make Oak Cliff sound more like a cult than a church.

Agreed. It is in the public interest for the public to know why Tony Evans has stepped down. These members need to hold their leaders to account.

No lies detected. My thoughts exactly. I realized long ago, people aren't deceived. People choose to be weak, a believer of lies, and a cosigner of foolishess on purpose.

If he did not want to say what the sin is he just should have said he was stepping down. If the sin was not assaulting women, men or children that’s between him and GOD. It’s always something with this Mega church pastors

Boundaries treated with dignity and self respect at all times I respect myself enough to demand explanations and information

God is not an author of confusion. If anyone sin against God he/ she should go to God in genuine repentance and obtain forgiveness.

Mark 4:21 Does a lamp that is lit go under the bed? Doesn’t it go o a lampstand? Well, whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

Someone is blackmailing Toney. People say they love Trump no matter what so the church can act the same way if they choose to.

Pastor aside. Church aside. When you take people’s money, you are obligated to them. Period. You cannot have it both ways. After 48 years, it is too late to change the rules of engagement. The End

I've heard that repeatedly from people about Tony Evans, but I felt like he's not repentant because he's being secretive. Now, he'll be humiliated because he wasn't honest and neither was the church!

He went to them to help him to get rid of the evidence and they couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
