TikToker @mychurchtruth has gone viral with her videos calling out her former megachurch for their decidedly unchristianlike conduct.

TikTok creator Lexi, aka @mychurchtruth, uses her platform to share stories of her experience working at a megachurch.

Lexi does preface one of her earlier videos by stating that she will not disclose the name of the church. She also emphasizes in her comments that "not all churches are bad."


In her very first video, which has been viewed more than 170k times, Lexi shares her fears about shedding light on what goes on behind the scenes in the unnamed megachurch.

"I'm still scared of what people at that church will think of me."
"I was part of the problem while I was there. I was not helping - I was making it more toxic."

She is also worried about what might happen to her if she starts "outing" people and they decide to come for her.

You can view the first video below.

In another video, Lexi clarifies that her videos are to spread awareness, not to spread hate.

She wants to help people "know what to look for, what not to look for, and red flags...because there are good churches out there."

In her very first revelation video, which has been viewed 2.5 million times, Lexi talks about her job filling the front rows of the church.

"So, one of my jobs was to fill the front row. The reason they wanted the front rows full was just for looks [on the broadcast]."
"We were always told to fill it with people who were volunteers and people who wouldn't act crazy in the front row or do something weird."

She continues to tell the story of a time she put three volunteers who were "so sweet" and "everyone loved," but she was reprimanded because of the way they looked... "because they didn't fit the vibe."

The whole story is in the video below.

In a "Pt 2" video of the previous one, Lexi explains how at the end of each year, the church would pick people serving in the church and bless them with a big gift, for example a car or apartment furnishings.

The church would bring the recipient on stage and surprise them, making a huge spectacle and, of course, including it in the broadcast.

She revealed that the three volunteers who weren't allowed to be in the front rows for the regular church broadcast were the recipients of the gift that year.

"Ok. Now you want them to be seen...when it benefits you."

Part 2 is below.

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
