Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

This is my go to podcast for all things true crime. Honest reporting with former experts, attorneys, and more. I stay up to date and people always ask me about what I know. It’s all from right here.

Tony makes the tough topics easier to digest! Huge fan! Robin and Tony together is the best!

Entertaining show, appreciate the banter and perspectives. And I know it’s been pointed out to death, but acting like a worship leader is the same thing as an actual pastor is misleading—perhaps a goofy analogy, but that is like considering a cheerleader/yell leader the same tier of leadership as THE football coach leading a football team and fans. And yes, it’s still BAD to be a representative of an organization and make a mockery of your role, but it is worth taking the time to make the distinction at the same time, so props for taking the time to at least discuss there is a difference. I also think humanity will always be rife with corruption’s it’s not just religious organizations. It’s in academia, government, politics, families. Churches often attempt to reach out to problematic people or accept people with problematic or troubled pasts that have “changed” and that can also be a part of the problem. I know Alleigha at least came from a complicated home life and had some traumas from that. She claimed she “turned out alright” but uhhh…the proof is in the pudding that she did not, in fact, turn out alright.

I am a subscriber at the Premium level. I enjoy true crime coverage and normally, your show. It’s really frustrating, however, that you continue to call Caleb Flynn a Pastor. He is not. And neither is JP Miller. I am a Music Director at a church. I’ve been there for 15 years. I also have 25+ years spent as a church musician in other churches. I have a Music degree. I am not a Pastor. Would never call myself one. Our Senior Pastor has a Doctorate in theology from Princeton. He is ordained. He has been faithful to his wife for 35 years. Our Pastor is an intelligent, humble servant of God who is 100% trustworthy. A kind, caring leader who respects boundaries and demonstrates the highest moral standards. If a Pastor in our particular denomination has an affair, they are no longer able to serve as a Pastor again anywhere. Years ago in another city, I knew of a Pastor who had an affair. He was forgiven, but he was booted. He sells insurance now. There are consequences for bad behavior. Churches who hire uneducated, unordained Pastoral staff…that’s not the norm. It’s actually not permitted in mainstream Christianity (Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran etc.) Even our children’s program leader has a theology degree and is ordained. Imagine a hospital hiring a physician that never went to medical school. Or a hiring a lawyer who never passed the bar… that’s what these “unauthorized” churches are doing. It’s not right. Asking that you not lump all Christians into the same putrid pot. There are those of us who gather to Worship God on Sunday, but also serve the community during the week. Doing good things that help others. Building houses in Mexico, collecting new clothing for shelters, feeding the hungry, (we keep a stocked food pantry) serving at Union Rescue Mission. BBQ Game nights on Wednesday nights that are open to the community. Good, clean fun. No scandal, no corruption no murders. And that’s why we aren’t featured on any True Crime podcast and never will be.
