In a shocking turn of events, world-famous televangelist Pastor Simon Rhoades has been officially removed from his pastoral leadership after revelations of an illicit consultation surfaced. Rhoades, a household name in Christian broadcasting, had long been revered for his impassioned sermons and claims of divine encounters. However, behind the scenes, his personal life was unraveling.
Sources close to the church council revealed that Rhoades had been under scrutiny for months, particularly regarding his increasingly erratic behavior during services. The final blow came when evidence surfaced that he had secretly sought the counsel of a spiritualist—one operating outside the church’s doctrinal teachings—to assist in concealing an affair with yet another mistress. This discovery was particularly damning, as Rhoades was already embroiled in a highly publicized divorce from his wife of 25 years.
The church’s governing board wasted no time in taking action. “This is a heartbreaking decision,” said Elder Thomas Whitmore in an official statement. “Pastor Rhoades has been a guiding light to millions, but no one is above accountability.”
Congregants and longtime supporters of Rhoades remain divided. Some believe he has fallen victim to a smear campaign, while others feel betrayed. “I defended him for so long,” said parishioner Abigail Lorne. “But this… this is too much.”
Meanwhile, Rhoades has remained silent on the accusations. His ministry’s official channels have yet to release a formal response, leaving many to wonder if his once-glorious career can recover from this stunning downfall.
As the dust settles, the faith community is left grappling with a painful truth: even the most celebrated spiritual leaders are not immune to scandal.
