Mike Winger Offers $100,000 Bounty for Independent Investigation into Todd White’s Ministry

Mike Winger, a prominent YouTube apologist, has offered up to $100,000 for an independent investigation into Todd White, a Texas-based faith healer he describes as a “fraud.” In a four-hour video titled “I Can Finally Show You the Evidence,” Winger detailed allegations against White and his Lifestyle Christianity ministry, emphasizing the need to protect followers from what he calls “coverup culture in the charismatic church.”

Winger shared four “open letters” from former insiders within White’s ministry who claim to want to “stop [White] from hurting people.” The video included clips of White asserting he did not lie for up to 16 years at a time and equating prescription medication with witchcraft. These claims have raised concerns among some in the charismatic community about the potential dangers of White’s teachings.

Todd White, a former drug-addicted atheist who turned to Jesus in 2004, is associated with prosperity gospel teachings and claims to heal the sick and cast out demons. In a recent video, Winger called White “a very real danger to others,” alleging that he embellishes his healing stories, uses ministry donations for his half-million-dollar salary, and spends extravagantly. Winger also accused White of using employees’ personal data to manipulate them.

According to Winger, six insiders in White’s ministry approached him nearly a year ago, requesting his help to “blow the whistle” and warn the body of Christ about White’s activities. He described the situation as “serious,” noting that White has taught people things that could endanger their physical lives. Winger alleged that White encourages followers to discard life-saving medications and to undertake 40-day water fasts.

White operates Lifestyle Christianity University (LCU) near Dallas. Audio clips shared by Winger reportedly show LCU staff members expressing frustration over White’s self-serving behavior and the harm he causes others. Winger also named individuals who he claims have “covered up for Todd White” or prevented his board from holding him accountable.

In addition to his financial offer, Winger announced a “Todd White Petition” urging Lifestyle Christianity to stop using non-disclosure agreements and agree to an independent investigation. His actions reflect a growing concern within some segments of the charismatic church about accountability and transparency in leadership. As Micah 6:8 reminds us, we are called to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God—principles that should guide both the accuser and the accused in seeking truth and restoration.
