The status of Bobbie Houston, the long-time co-pastor and co-founder of Hillsong, the troubled global megachurch based in Australia, is uncertain after the church’s board and her husband, the church’s former head pastor Brian Houston, traded feuding online messages this week.
Brian Houston, who co-founded Hillsong with his wife in Australia in 1983, resigned from his position as global senior pastor on March 21, less than a week after the board released a statement revealing he had sent inappropriate text messages to a staff member and spent time in a woman’s hotel room.
No formal announcement has been made regarding Bobbie Houston’s role with the church.
Pierce has written several books on prophecy, including The Passover Prophecies (Charisma House 2020), Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation (Charisma House, 2005) and his newest coming out in August titled, Perspective: How to See the Future God Has for You.

Ever since The Harbinger by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Cahn was released in 2011, followed by The Harbinger II: The Return in 2020, people have been asking: “Has the mystery continued? Have more harbingers manifested? Is America closer than ever to judgment? What does the future hold?”
After years of waiting, Cahn is prepared to go deeper into the ancient mysteries outlined in the Harbinger series. Cahn —also author of New York Times bestsellers The Oracle, The Paradigm, The Book of Mysteries and other critically acclaimed books—is set to unveil the documentary, The Harbingers of Things to Come. This riveting feature film based on Jonathan Cahn’s bestselling and brilliant successes with “The Harbinger” series reveals the ancient mysteries that lie behind what is happening in America and the world today—and in the future. “The Harbingers of Things to Come” will be in theaters across America on Thursday, May 12, 2022, through Fathom Events.
For the first time since The Harbinger II, Cahn opens up what could not be unlocked before—the mysteries that couldn’t be revealed until now, the manifestations that have taken place since The Harbinger II was released and up to the present hour, and the mysteries of what is yet to come.
