David Hogan is a radical preacher, leader and missionary. His ministry has a PO Box in Texas USA and he owns a ranch in Mexico where he has 20 staff to run his missions and outreaches in Mexico. To us he is known for his preaching trips around the world and after some 30 years of ministry his stories have reached a level of fame and controversy as well. Because my friends like him and trust him I took notice and did a little research on the internet. He surely polarizes his audience. with regards to his character as well as his teachings. He is either seen as the real thing or a pathological liar and possibly he may be both, that is his zeal for the gospel is genuine while his methods are deceptive at the same time. No doubt he is a radical or zealot and at the same time he is known for tall stories and a level of self aggrandizement. He appears to have the loyalty of his children that serve in his ministry while at least on dissenter has gone public. I am very uneasy with David Hogan's tall stories, but do admit that he is out there doing something in the trenches (and I am not). Hence I will leave judgement on his mandate as well as character with the reader. I have posted both friendly and critical voices in the Link reference (click on more). Friendly voices point to a visit at the freedom ranch and Davids mission results in the tough unreached Mexican outback. Critics point to David's flawed theology, tall claims and lack of substantiation of claims. And there is a damaging insider report titled The Remarkable Exploits of David Hogan. Rolland and Heidi Baker who have ministered alongside David Hogan and whom I trust have not been swayed by my concerns regarding Davids claims and prowess, because they have seen similar miracles. But the key issue is that the Bakers results are visible online and have materially been testified by many others.

I stopped attending the LDS church in 1995 and formally left in 2014 as a matter of integrity cause I would no longer live the extensions of the Mormon faith. I love and respect Mormons and wish them well on their path to keep seeking the truth that matters most and trust that the LDS church will continue to further reform from within. We have already seen signs of the rolling back of some masonic tenets of the faith. Is the Mormon foundational story confined to the realms of the imaginary with eternal truth embedded in fiction ? Then you are on a path of exploring deeper spiritual truth ! Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life John 14:6 Videos & WebsitesSupport Site IRR Archives
