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.

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 Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.
