New Sites “Exposing Roger Gales”, “Pierced By Patmos”, Potters Field Comeback…
My attention was directed yesterday to a new Instagram post and website dedicated to raising awareness and warning people about Roger Gales.
Gales was the senior pastor of Heritage SC and a board member of Potters Field Ministries.
He was forced out of his job at Heritage SC due to accusations of immorality.
According to the site; “In the last year the truth about Roger Gales’ decades of grooming and predatory patterns and harmful actions towards minors via an abuse of his powers as a spiritual leader have come to light”…
You can DM them on Instagram if you would like to add your own story.
Mike and Pam Rozell of Potters Field have never addressed allegations that Gales was reported to them for inappropriate behaviors toward interns.
On the other hand, they have never addressed the dozens of allegations of spiritual and emotional abuse reported by dozens of interns, either.
They have gussied up their website and now include old newsletters as well as ways to donate.
There is also a new Facebook group dedicated to those who have been harmed by one of Potters Field’s siblings, “Pierced by Patmos”.
This is another “intense discipleship” program run by Chet Lowe through Coast Hills Church.
Because none of these spiritual grifters are interested in protecting people or hearing victims, the survivors have to start their own sites.
We are following all these stories as well as seeking information about Calvary Chapel Chattanooga and it’s “Renew” program.

I must be frank here, I have really grown to detest American Christianity, and abhor the cultist teachings infecting each crop of new believers in countries overseas. Especially child abusers like Ted Tripp, Michael and Debi Pearl, Ren. Bradley, et al. The worst practices and heresies are touted. Missionaries do incredible damage, and all stems from the neocolonial attitudes of American preachers and teacher. They still justify genocide and slavery, for one. Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills personifies that with the teachings of Jack Hibbs. He is an open Fascist,a Christian Nationalist. Has a radio program, Reality Radio. Interesting speaker, yet a creep.
“ Missionaries do incredible damage, and all stems from the neocolonial attitudes of American preachers and teacher. ”. That is an offensive generalisation. I served overseas for 34+ years and was very aware of cultural differences, as were so many other of my missionary friends and co-workers. Our hearts were set on serving and loving God and the men, women, children He set before us. We were very aware that OUR culture was not Christ’s culture. LOVE is the culture of God. We served with TB medications purchased for children whose parent could never afforded it, children with clefts lips repaired, malnourished children fed, mothers rescued from abusive situations, children that were trafficked rescued, church services especially designed for learning disabled people, and more ….all by missionaries who loved the people that God set before them. Making generalities is as ignorant as what you accuse others of.
