In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we dig into the explosive allegations against former Newsboys frontman Michael Tait — and we’re not holding back. From grooming and assault to drugs and double lives, this isn’t just another "Christian celebrity gone astray" story. This is about power, protection, and the sickening double standard in the Christian music industry.

While abusers like Tait and Michael English are welcomed back with open arms after "repenting," artists like Ray Boltz and Jennifer Knapp were erased for simply being honest about who they are.

This isn’t about redemption — it’s about responsibility.
