“Russ & Sherrie Break Their Silence: WE HEARD THE AUDIO

In this exclusive interview, Russ and Sherrie share their personal story of relocating from Tennessee to Warrior, Alabama to become part of a well-known prophetic ministry. What they expected to be a life-changing spiritual opportunity quickly shifted as they describe witnessing extreme teachings, high-pressure culture, and patterns they personally experienced as spiritually and emotionally abusive.

After deciding to leave, Russ and Sherrie say they took a significant financial loss on their Alabama property in order to return to Tennessee and rebuild their lives.

For the first time publicly, Russ and Sherrie also talk about the existence of audio they say they heard concerning a meeting involving ministry leadership and two individuals, Joe and Cynthia Villagio. According to Russ and Sherrie, the audio contradicts how that meeting has previously been described publicly. They present their statements as their own recollections, interpretations, and personal testimony. No claims in this video should be taken as established fact without independent verification.
