Jimmy Hinton testifies about Jon Uhler’s bad character

Run from that man! He is wildly dangerous. He’s a narcissist. I’m telling you that he does not like you. He’s going to find a way to somehow hurt you and manipulate you. I’m telling you, I saw evil when he was up there.

Those were the words of a licensed professional counsellor who warned Jimmy Hinton about Jon Uhler being dangerous. The counselor had attended a symposium that Jon Uhler and Jimmy Hinton gave in 2015, not long after Jimmy and Jon had jointly set up Church Protect as a non-profit. She (the counselor) spoke to Jimmy after the symposium, warning him that Jon Uhler is evil.

Jimmy Hinton has been a full time pastor since 2009. Jimmy’s dad used to be the pastor of the church that Jimmy now leads. In 2011, Jimmy’s youngest sister disclosed to him that their dad had sexually abused her when she was a minor. Jimmy immediately reported his dad to the police. Jimmy’s dad is now serving a long sentence for sexual crimes against children. Jimmy is an advocate for victims and he trains churches that want to become better at protecting children from predators.

In 2015 Jon Uhler and Jimmy Hinton co-founded Church Protect. Jimmy resigned from Church Protect in October, 2017.

Jimmy Hinton testifies about Jon Uhler’s bad character.

In this one hour interview, Jimmy tells how he met Jon Uhler, and how Jon quickly persuaded Jimmy that they should jointly set up Church Protect as a non-profit. Jimmy recounts how he ignored some of the red flags about Uhler, including an early warning from Jimmy’s wife, who intuitively felt that Jon Uhler was dangerous. Jimmy then describes what transpired in the two years that he and Jon co-led Church Protect, and the many things that led Jimmy to resign from Church Protect. Jimmy also describes how, after he resigned, Jon abused him by leaving vicious voice-mails on Jimmy’s phone, and doxing Jimmy (i.e., publicly sharing Jimmy’s home address).

Jimmy recounts his experience of Jon Uhler publicly and persistently berating “Jane Doe” who had been spiritually and psychologically abused by John MacArthur and MacArthur’s employees after she disclosed that she had been drugged and sexually abused. For more on this Jane Doe story, go to the bottom of this post.

Jimmy’s testimony corroborates Nicole Uhler’s testimony about Jon Uhler’s bad character. There are links to Nicole’s testimony at the bottom of this post.

At The Distance Mag, the interview is titled The Red Flags Around Jon Uhler — Part 3. The interview was conducted by Matt Osborne, who writes at The Distance Mag.

Listen to the space Jimmy Hinton and Matt Osborne co-hosted on X1

(70 minutes) This recording covers material that was not touched on in the interview I linked to above. Here is my (probably incomplete) list of this additional material:

  • Several people have come forward anonymously, telling Matt Osborne that they have suffered mistreatment by Jon Uhler. These people are unwilling to publicly give their names and give vocal testimony, because they are afraid that Jon Uhler would retaliate by physically harming them.
  • Red flags around other non-profits that Jon Uhler has had.
  • Jon Uhler recently slandered his daughter Nicole by labelling her an “Absalom”. For the benefit of non-Christians, Jimmy outlines what the Bible says about King David’s son Absalom, and why the label “Absalom” does not apply to Nicole.
  • Jimmy challenges Jon Uhler’s claim to be an expert in SRA (Satanist Ritual Abuse).
  • Quite a few Australians are alert to Jon Uhler being dangerous.

At 55:15 in the audio, I was given the mic (microphone). At 56:50 I asked Jimmy Hinton to comment on the fact that several women saw Jon’s evil before Jimmy did. I concluded by saying that men need to give serious consideration and thought to what women say when they are warning men about predators.

Further reading and listening

Wilfred Wong is a former barrister who has spent years investigating child sexual abuse, including SRA (Satanist Ritual Abuse). He is also a professing Christian. I recommend this interview Wilfred Wong gave on YouTube. I find Wilfred and his information credible. His information comports with what I know about Satanist Ritual Abuse, which I learned from a few survivors of SRA that I know personally.

The “Jane Doe” story. In September, 2017, Marci Preheim published the story of “Jane” [Internet Archive link]. “Jane” (her pseudonym) was gravely mistreated by The Master’s College after she reported having been drugged and sexually abused. When that story broke, Jon Uhler got quite vociferous on Facebook, repeatedly calling for Jane to go public by naming the man who sexually abused her. Nicole Uhler describes this episode in The Red Flags Around Jon Uhler, Part 1.

Nicole Uhler, Jon Uhler’s biological daughter, has given two interviews in which she testifies about Jon Uhler’s bad character:
The Red Flags Around Jon Uhler (Part 1).
The Red Flags Around Jon Uhler (Part 2).

  1. Barb,

    I like the connection you made between Jimmy Hinton’s wife intuitively feeling Jon Uhler was dangerous, the comment you made to Jimmy Hinton about several women seeing evil before he did, and that — essentially — men need to listen to women more. 😊

  2. I appreciate you taking the opportunity to point out Jimmy’s failure to listen to the multiple women who warned him about Jon. It’s a good reminder that even good men, ones who are genuinely trying to support women and reject patriarchy can still have blind spots – especially when it comes to the learned tendency to trust men (even complete strangers) and doubt women (even ones they intimately know and generally trust).

  3. It’s so sad to be reminded that Wilfred Wong is still wrongly incarcerated after an intervention which went bad. In addition to his big heart toward victims, he has a crystal-clear understanding of the SRA network and it’s evil work. May God have mercy upon him.

  4. As one of the Australians who has been trying to raise awareness of Jon for years, it took me a long time to figure out that Jon wasn’t just a hypocritical lying fool, that he was actually a dangerous narcissist. So I can forgive anyone who didn’t immediately realise Jon’s true nature.

    “Listen to women” is not necessarily the answer, because although some women were already raising the alarm, many other women were treating him uncritically as the foremost expert he wishes he was. Heck, some women continue to defend him even today.

    1. Hi Chulee. I know of women who are under Jon Uhler’s spell and are defending him, so I agree with you that “listen to women” is not necessarily the answer.

      Using only one lens or template to address a complex problem is unlikely to bring a good solution. I think the gender lens is only one aspect. Also, both men and women can have internalised misogyny.

      I think it was legitimate for me to notice that Jimmy Hinton — by his own admission — did not heed the advice of several women who were warning him about Jon Uhler.

      I also admit that I have skin in the game and personal feelings, in that I have felt hurt by the fact that many men in church leadership have downplayed or ignored the value of my own work, not to mention the fact that Christian advocates (both male and female) did not come to my defence when Ps Jeff Crippen, the former co-leader at this blog, organised a public stoning of me online, and nearly killed this blog — and those wounds have not fully healed yet.

      I get the impression that the few good men who are advocates for the abused get more attention and respect for their advocacy than the few good women who are advocates. This hurts me.

      At the same time, I know that advocates tend to be deluged with appeals for help from victim-survivors. Jimmy Hinton is a husband, father, full-time pastor, and an advocate, so I’m guessing he is already very stretched, and he doesn’t have bandwidth for the likes of me. I have found it very difficult to get him to acknowledge or interact with anything I’ve said or written. Me being in Australia doesn’t help, because our time zones are so different. Jimmy specialises in child sexual abuse. I specialise in domestic abuse. But our fields have much overlap.

      I long for fruitful reciprocity with other advocates, but I seldom find it.

      Thanks for chiming in here, Chulee. :) Feel free to email me as we are both Aussies. My addy is barbara@notunderbondage.com.

      1. Barb,

        I was originally going to reply to Chulee’s comment of 4th August 2024, but you said (in your comment of 4th August 2024) what I was thinking, only better. 😊

        You also wrote so many other good things in your comment, although some were sad and / or painful. 😢

        …rather than copy-and-paste your entire comment followed by the word LIKE!, I’ll just write the word LIKE! 😊
