In a post published shortly after the release of the Founders Ministry trailer at the Founders Ministry website titled ‘About That Trailer’, Tom Ascol stated, “Some expressed concerns about a 1-2 second clip of Rachael Denhollander, accusing us of presenting her as demonic. Certainly, no one at Founders Ministries believes that and we did not foresee people taking it that way. That was not our INTENTION [emphasis added] and, admittedly, not our wisest editing moment. We regret the pain and confusion we caused by this unwise alignment of image and idea. We have removed the clip and have reached out to her and to her husband, Jacob. We are grateful for so many of Mrs. Denhollander’s efforts to serve victims of abuse.”
On 17 December, 2019, David Shannon, director and editor of ‘By What Standard?’, the Founders Ministry cinedoc, was a guest on the Canon Calls (affiliate of Canon Press) podcast. During the course of the hour and 26 minute long broadcast, Mr. Shannon categorically stated the following, “I knew you would know who [Rachael Denhollander] that was. Okay. Wasn’t surprised by that. It was INTENTIONAL [emphasis added]. That was the whole point.”
Respectfully Mr. Ascol, which is it? Was it intentional or unintentional? Was Mr. Shannon acting as your paid employee, under your direction or not?
After weeks of slandering individuals on Twitter, repeatedly calling people liars, Ascol’s son, Joel responded to the facts above with an unabashed admission.
“”And now the fact that it was intentional, which I already established months ago is some big reveal?”
Mr. Strachan said, “We’re always having the powers, the SPIRITUAL powers and principalities exert pressure on us. That’s not new.” NOT human authorities and principalities. “SPIRITUAL POWERS.” This is a clear an unquestionable reference to DEMONIC INFLUENCES. The defense that Strachan wasn’t referencing demonic powers and principalities is literally disproven with his VERY OWN COMMENT!
“We’re always having the powers, the SPIRITUAL POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES (a/k/a demons and demonic influence) exert pressure on us. That’s not new.” – Owen Strahan

“She [Rachael Denhollander] was in an image, basically blurred, it was an out of focus shot that had some artistic design to it to show that there’s something going on here. I knew you would know who that was, okay? I wasn’t surprised by that. It was intentional. That was the whole point, to say exactly what Owen Strachan was saying, over the top of this and with others involved in it.” – David Shannon/Chocolate Knox
