Kathryn Krick used an extended interview on The Way with Brian Davila to deliver a blunt answer to one of the loudest accusations against her ministry: she said she has never had a paid actor at one of her churches. When asked directly, she replied, “Absolutely not. No.”
The interview is drawing attention now because it puts Krick, a deliverance minister and apostle, back in the center of a dispute over what people see in her churches. Supporters say the shaking, trembling and falling she describes are signs that God is moving. Critics have called those scenes staged or blamed them on mental illness. Krick says the opposite: that what is happening is real and should be expected where Jesus is at work.
She said it is rare to see the power of God move today the way it does in the Bible, but argued that the moments people question most are exactly the moments that matter. “To see this today should be normal,” she said, describing demons screaming out of people, believers trembling, falling back and shaking as “the Bible come alive.” She also said people with mental illness can be healed, adding that Jesus has delivered people from schizophrenia, ADD, bipolar and other mental problems.
That defense goes to the heart of the criticism around her ministry. Krick did not offer proof to settle the accusation that paid actors were used. Instead, she leaned on faith as the test. For her, the question is not whether the scenes look strange, but whether they match the pattern she says appears in the Bible and whether the people involved are genuinely seeking Jesus.
She extended that argument to deliverance itself. Krick said anyone who wants deliverance has to come with faith that Jesus wants to deliver them, place themselves where God’s power is moving and surrender their whole life to Jesus. She said believers should “Read the Bible with fresh eyes” and treat it as God speaking, not as a history book, pointing to Jesus’ words that signs would follow those who believe, including casting out demons.
Davila also pressed her on women in ministry, and Krick said women should be able to preach, pastor or serve as apostles. She said Paul was speaking to specific women in a specific church at a specific time, not laying down a rule for all women. The Holy Spirit, she said, does not hold back for women, and the same Spirit that men receive, women receive.
She tied that answer to a broader claim about discernment. Believers, she said, should be planted in a church where God’s power is moving if they want to know they are hearing from God directly. If a person’s heart is set on pleasing God, she said, God will guide the steps and give discernment between His voice and the enemy’s.
The interview leaves the central dispute unresolved in public terms. Krick has denied the most damaging allegation, but she did not point to any concrete evidence that would either confirm or disprove the claims about paid actors. What she did do was sharpen the divide: for her supporters, the manifestations are proof; for her critics, they remain suspect. Her new book, Ignite Revival, is available on Amazon.com.
