Johnson said that this secretary relayed her concerns to an employee of OnePassion Ministries. She did not share her concerns with any of the elders at GCC. “As far as I can determine,” Johnson said. “No one who says they witnessed inappropriate behavior between Lawson and the woman ever brought any concern to our elders.”
Johnson assured Staats that if a “credible testimony is brought forward proving that any of our elders” knew about Lawson’s affair and “did nothing” that the elder in question would be “dismissed.”

“So far, no one has made such a claim,” Johnson said. “Unless you count a couple of anonymous posts on X.”
As he concluded his response to Staats, Johnson told her that “‘Rumor[s float] around social media’ because people repeat and repost things they have heard on social media or through gossip without actually checking the source. I hope you will take care not to be part of the problem.”
