A Rebuke to the Enablers: Cease Shielding Joni Lamb and Confront the Criminal Actions at Daystar

“Then Nathan said to David, ‘You are the man!’”—2 Samuel 12:7 NKJV

In the annals of Scripture, few stories cut as deeply as King David’s betrayal of Uriah the Hittite. In 2 Samuel 11, we see a man anointed by God descend into depravity—lusting after Bathsheba, committing adultery, and orchestrating Uriah’s murder to hide his sin. David, a king favored by the Lord, abused his power, took a man’s wife, and silenced a loyal servant through bloodshed. The true victim was not David, but Uriah—his family, his lineage, and Bathsheba, who mourned her husband’s death. This was no mere "offense" or misunderstanding. It was a crime. It was sin. And the Lord was displeased.

When the prophet Nathan arrived in 2 Samuel 12, did he rush to Uriah’s grieving widow and demand she forgive and forget? Did he silence the mourners of Uriah’s death, accusing them of bitterness or slander? Did he shield David, calling his accusers "divisive" or "accusers of the brethren"? No. Nathan marched straight to the throne, looked David in the eye, and declared, “You are the man!” He exposed the sin, not to destroy David, but to bring him to repentance. The Lord did not cover up David’s evil—He confronted it. And it is time for the Daystar apologists to cease their tactics of tyrants to shield Daystar and Joni from accountability. The hypocrisy of this stance has all of hell laughing while Heaven mourns the perversion of justice.

Yet today, amidst the swirling scandal engulfing Daystar TV, we witness a grotesque inversion of this biblical truth. Joni Lamb, president of a Christian media empire, stands accused by her own son, Jonathan Lamb, and his wife, Suzy, of covering up the sexual abuse of their young daughter by a family member. The allegations are harrowing: a child violated, a mother and father seeking justice, and a grandmother allegedly suppressing the truth to protect the accused and preserve Daystar’s image. Evidence accumulates—recordings of spiritual abuse, testimonies from counselors, and a reopened police investigation—yet Joni denies it all, asserting that her son’s accusations are a “smear campaign” arising from a power struggle.

And what do we hear from the chorus of Christian leaders? Not a Nathan-like cry for righteousness, but a shameful clamor to defend Joni Lamb. Ministers—some of whom have fled Daystar’s sinking ship, others still clinging to its platform—have the audacity to label Jonathan and Suzy "accusers of the brethren." They twist Scripture, wielding Revelation 12:10 like a club to silence the cries of the wounded, implying that to speak of sin is to side with Satan. This is not just hypocrisy—it is blasphemy against the heart of God.

Let us be clear: Jonathan and Suzy Lamb are not the villains here. They are the Uriahs of this story—parents fighting for their violated child, stripped of their positions at Daystar, spiritually abused, and gaslit by those who should have protected them. Their daughter, like Bathsheba, is a victim caught in the wreckage of power and deceit. Joni Lamb, if these allegations hold true, mirrors David—not in his repentance, but in his initial refusal to face the consequences of sin. And you, Christian leaders who shield her, are not Nathan. You are the courtiers whispering in David’s ear, “Hide it, deny it, all is well.”

To label Jonathan and Suzy as "accusers of the brethren" tramples justice underfoot and mocks the heart of God. When David sinned, the "brethren" were not Uriah’s mourners crying out for righteousness—they were the soldiers who executed his bloody bidding, complicit in the cover-up. Today, the true "brethren" are not Joni’s enablers circling the wagons around her—they are the wounded, the silenced, the parents and children pleading with the church to stop shielding predators and start protecting the lambs from sexual vipers. The Lord of Hosts burned with displeasure at David’s crime, and He burns now at the absurdity of sweeping Daystar’s filth under a flimsy veil of false unity. Worse still, whispers of ministers wielding non-disclosure agreements to bury financial sins echo in the shadows—a scandal for another day, but a stench that only deepens the rot.

Where are the Nathans among you, Christian media giants? Why do you demand that Suzy and Jonathan shut up, while you amplify Joni Lamb’s denials from your pulpits? Lance Wallnau, Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyer—some of you have wisely distanced yourselves from Daystar’s stench, but where is your voice against this travesty? Ray Comfort, Baruch Korman—eighteen programmers have left, yet how many have called for repentance rather than retreat? You who remain silent or, worse, defend Joni Lamb, consider this: God sees. He heard the cries of Uriah’s family. He hears the cries of a little girl and her parents now.

The recordings are incriminating—Joni’s own voice, allegedly bullying Suzy into submission, echoed by Jimmy Evans’ manipulative threats. The expense reports are indefensible—$100,000 of ministry funds spent on a lavish honeymoon while a child’s trauma is dismissed. The pattern is clear: power protects itself, and the vulnerable are sacrificed. This is not a “family dispute” or a “misunderstanding.” This is a sin and a crime crying out to heaven, and your refusal to confront it makes you complicit.

Enough with the cowardice. Stop hiding behind the platitudes of “forgiveness” and “restoration” while the wound festers. Forgiveness does not mean silence in the face of unrepentant evil. Restoration does not mean shielding the powerful at the expense of the broken. The Lord sent Nathan to expose David’s sin, not to coddle it. If Joni Lamb has covered up abuse, as Jonathan and Suzy allege with mounting evidence, she must face her Nathan moment—whether through the courts, the church, or the Almighty Himself.

To every minister supporting Joni Lamb: You are not defending the faith; you are defiling it. Repent. Call for truth. Demand accountability. And to Jonathan and Suzy: Hold fast. The Lord of Hosts, who avenged Uriah, stands with the oppressed. Your cries are heard. The day of reckoning is coming—for Daystar, for Joni, and for every leader who dares to label victims as the “accusers of the brethren" while shielding the guilty.
