When no one but God and the principals know the complete truth, and all we have is he said-he said, and he said-she said, but we also know that the principals eventually cane to terms and dropped their respective claims, we should pray that all are guided by the Holy Spirit to walk a path of repentance and faith, and a path of righteousnes for the Lord's namesake. To God be the glory.

We both wanted to love, and serve the Lord. Somehow, Mike taught us a lot about the Bible, but only in word, not in deed. He is a disgrace to Christ, and the church. Our lives have been harmed in so many ways since we first met the man. Please he will hurt anyone who becomes involved in his church.

One of the reviewers posted this link. She gave an incredibly accurate review of the church and Merrily Hagarman. Mike Kestler is her brother. They are one and the same. She's very abusive towards the students who go to the college and parishioners. I didn't realize that her table leader antics were so well known. They are her little "spies". If anyone says anything that is deemed negative, they are to report it to her. Then she publicly humiliates the "offender". I know for a fact in one case that the "spy" that reported one "offender" was a complete lie. It was the "spy" (table leader) who had bad mouthed the Hagarmans, Merrily's son and DIL, and their children and some others. The "offender" was so shocked by the verbal vomit that she ended the phone call. The next thing she knew, she was accused of doing what the "spy" had done. This is one case out of MANY. Merrily comes across as very sweet, but she is a viper. The worst is when she is "praying" for someone in a prayer meeting and it's more like an outing of someone's personal affairs. Had I not heard it, I wouldn't have believed it. If you want to see an abuse of money and power, this is the church for you. Take notes, it would be a best seller. The people that seem to intimidate the most are the ones who are truly living for the Lord and involved in ministries. Good luck if you go to that church. They destroy lives.

Like many of his co-hosts, except for Giovanetti from Las Vegas who has laughs like a snake at all of Kessler's jokes, most of those co-hosts were simpletons. In hindsight I smelled the 'rat', but was stunned by Kessler's hidden behavior. These Media ministers are licking garbage cans for money. I can't make sense out of God's justice.

There was a spirit in that building you could "feel". A great deal of upset could be found in the air. I don't believe that the Holy Spirit is there. Not with what I saw and experienced from the staff of CSN at that time. Mike had approved me to be on the air there, but I never followed through. There was much to much contention in the air. I would stay away from there. And, I am ashamed of Mike, divorcing his wife and marrying another.

I don't want someone leading me to do wrong by their example. Nor do I want someone else to think its right to do because he does it. Honor God above men, and those watching and learning grow strong in Gods character and love. Thats what everyone needs instead of becoming weak to practice sin God hates, which separates people's spirits from him. I hate being deceived.
