MAGA pastor Rick Joyner, the head of MorningStar Ministries, is someone who has encouraged Christians to prepare for the onset of a civil war, that racism was nearly defeated until Barack Obama was elected, and that natural disasters occur because Americans told God to leave the country.
His five grown children are ardent libs.
“He talks about Democrats being evil, forgetting that all five of his kids vote Democratic,” said his eldest, Anna Jane Joyner, 36, a climate change activist and podcast host (her father has suggested that climate change is a Communist conspiracy). “Who is he asking his followers to take up arms against? Liberal activists? That’s me.” She also said that she hears urban liberals say, we just need to have coffee with Trump voters and we can win them over. “I’ve been doing that my whole life, and I haven’t won my dad over,” she said. I’m all for having coffee with people one profoundly disagrees with, but I’ve no illusions about changing people’s minds. (Agree strongly with this. That "if we all sit down and discuss our differences in a civil manner we can find common ground" stuff is bullshit.)
His son, Abraham Piper, has a sizable following on TikTok, where he posts criticism of his father’s right-wing Christianity
It’s one thing when atheists criticize religion. It’s another when the children of prominent right-wing preachers grow up to become some of their most vocal critics. If they can do it, there’s hope for everyone.
