Lewis & Rachel Hogan are a couple of Texas-based pastors (something called ‘United Cry Ministries’) and activists on behalf of the Family Research Council – they’re also affiliated with Lou Engle’s fundie extremist prayer rallies The Call and participated for instance in the 2017 fundie DC event Awaken the Dawn and its associated Rise Up prayer rally (which the Christian Broadcasting Network called a “Holy Spirit Woodstock”). Lewis Hogan was also the organizer of the 2016 event United Cry DC 16, which had a lineup encompassing several of the high-profile fundie extremists of the day (from Harry Jackson to Rick Perry) and which was broadcast on GodTV. Yeah, that kind.
The Hogans are the kinds of people who claim that the 2016 election of Trump was a sign of “the hand of God answering prayers”. Apparently they also dabble in prophecy, though they seem to favor the more waffly kind (“Pentecost Sunday this year will be incredibly significant, like a line of demarcation: on May 31st the church will be entering a new season, a true Acts 2 season”) – it’s hard to catch them in any clear and precisely identifiable false prophecy there, though garbled fundie derangement undeniably shines through.
Diagnosis: We’re sure they think they are fighting for the good guys. They are not. And, to repeat ourselves: There are lots of these, and together they are able to do a great deal of harm.
