On Friday, May 16, G3 Ministries (G3) shared a statement from its former president Dr. Josh Buice apologizing for alleging that Voddie Baucham and Tom Ascol were “deceitful” regarding a 2021 GoFundMe campaign that raised money for Baucham’s quadruple bypass surgery.
Buice was encouraged to resign as G3’s president after elders from his Pray’s Mill Baptist Church (PMBC) discovered that Buice had been using multiple anonymous social media accounts to speak ill of Christian leaders, both publicly and privately.
The allegations, which G3 said were “baseless,” were sent to The Roys Report by one of Buice’s anonymous email accounts on Dec. 16, 2024. In the email, Buice told Roys that he had “compelling evidence” that Baucham used a ghost writer for portions of his “Fault Lines” book. Buice also claimed that Baucham and Ascol were “deceitful” with the funds raised from Baucham’s heart surgery.
“The fund raised $1.4 million dollars. The operation, by a cash patient would have been no more than $300,000…where is the $1.1 million dollars?” Buice questioned.
Josh Buice Admits His Claims ‘Lacked Evidence’
“In a past critique of Voddie Baucham and Founders Ministries, I made unsubstantiated and sinful remarks, including leading questions that lacked evidence and called into question the good reputation of my brother, Voddie Baucham,” Buice said in his statement. “I was deceived by the deceitfulness of sin and allowed myself to be led down a path that dishonored God and unjustly maligned faithful men and ministries through an unrighteous, critical spirit cloaked in anonymity.”
“The details originally shared with me were without merit,” Buice continued. “The accusations proved to be unfounded—false claims that should never have been used to criticize Voddie Baucham, Tom Ascol, or Founders Ministries.”
Buice said he met privately with Baucham earlier in the week to “personally asked for his forgiveness” and that he plans to do likewise “with others in the days to come.” He concluded his brief statement by asking for forgiveness and acknowledging that his “actions have caused confusion and division.”
G3 Board Member Tom Buck: ‘I’m Personally Grieved by Josh’s Lack of True Repentance’
Tom Buck, a G3 board member and the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Lindale, Texas, shared that he doesn’t believe Buice is telling the truth in his statement.
