“It’s a hostile takeover of a church ministry.”
With his wife by his side, Pastor Joel Peebles talked for the first time about how a small group of employees took control of his mother's church, Jericho City of Praise, after she died of colon cancer in 2010.
Tisha Thompson: "Did your mother ever say to you, ‘Joel I want you to take my place? Joel, I want you to be in charge?’"
Joel Peebles: "About a thousand times. She believed in passing the mantle. Not that church is a birthright. Ministry is a calling."
Tisha Thompson: "Did your mother ever say to you, ‘I'm changing the plan?’"
Joel Peebles: “Absolutely not."
