Lindsay Coil - Alleged Fake Prophecy
Gaining attention from Mike Winger, and sounding all too similar to Shawn Bolz… and has ‘allegedly’ been covered up by Bethel since 2018. Hundreds of prophecies given, students pastored, and people still ‘life coached’.. all with no accountability. Who is potentially living their life based upon fake prophecy?! If only there was a solution. It seems Bethel’s standard procedure is now to wait until they are exposed in public, and then ask for forgiveness..
If you know more details, or personal experiences, I would love to hear from you

However, just months later in the summer of 2018, a Vinyard Church in Bern, Switzerland confirmed that her prohecies were faked, and reported the matter to Bethel Church leadership - something that, as Mike said has never been acknowledged. The article (translated) states,
"When a Ministry Shatters
It was 2018. As filmmakers ("Siloam Productions"), we were producing our second documentary, Christ in You – The Voice, which was intended to make the prophetic visible. In this context, we filmed a well-known speaker: Shawn Bolz. He had become famous for very detailed "words of knowledge." We had already recorded him for our first film, but the material wasn't used then. We were all the more excited to have him in front of the camera again two years later.
In the interview, he told impressive and spectacular stories. But after the conversation, I was left with a strange feeling. One thing became clear to me: some of these stories made him look exceptionally good. Something began to tip inside me. Nevertheless, I inwardly refused to ask the hard question.
Yet, a few weeks earlier, we had already experienced something that should have woken me up. A woman named Lindsay Coil was a guest at our Vineyard church in Bern. At the time, she was a leader at the US megachurch "Bethel Church." During her ministry, we discovered that words of knowledge had been faked. Because she was present with us, we were able to verify this and reported the incident to her leaders.
Months later, while we were editing the film, my inner unease regarding Bolz grew stronger. He was supposed to have a central role in the documentary. In the charismatic world, he was famous and respected everywhere. And yet, this question became louder and louder: Is this ministry real or not?
I sat at my laptop at night, listening to old sermons to track publicly spoken words of knowledge. Names, cities, and other details were mentioned in the name of God. The more I checked, the clearer the pattern became. Things that appeared to be supernatural revelation had been researched beforehand. Parallel to this, I met people who had worked for Bolz. In open conversations, they confirmed these suspicions. And then came other stories. Stories you never want to hear. Sexual assault.
Something collapsed inside me. Not just a ministry. An entire world. And suddenly I faced a question no one had prepared me for: What do you do when the thing that shaped you spiritually suddenly brings you shame?"
