In 2019, Hood founded Excellencies of Christ Ministries, where he serves as director. The ministry “exists to proclaim the excellencies of Christ to the ends of the earth and to disciple the body of Christ through prayer, preaching, creative resources, and the building up of the local church.”
In a recent post on his organization’s website, Hood said:
On His last night before the cross, Jesus washed the feet of His followers and called them to do the same. I feel strongly that the Spirit is wooing us out of the previous season of celebrity Christianity to embrace the meek and lowly apostolic model of Jesus who, as the Head of all things, lays down His life for God’s people.
Hood began his statement on Mike Bickle by referencing the “serious allegations of spiritual and sexual abuse concerning my spiritual father.”
“I have been walking closely with one survivor and her husband,” Hood said. “She is a dear sister who is precious to my wife Rachel, myself, and our family. We are deeply broken for her. She and her family deserve our utmost care, trust, and discretion.”
“I have also learned of corroborating allegations from other victims. This has broken my heart to an unimaginable level,” he continued. “Furthermore, I am dismayed that survivors of abuse and those who advocate for them are being labeled as ‘betrayers.’ Such speech shames victims and is an egregious form of spiritual manipulation.”
After emphasizing the need for an independent investigation, Hood concluded his statement by saying:
There is only one way forward — a renewed commitment to holiness in the fear of the Lord that demands honesty and accountability. The apostle Peter warned us that judgment begins in the house of the Lord. May the Lord purify our hearts and give the church a season of self-reflection and repentance.
