A statement regarding Micah Turnbo

Posted May 11, 2025

Earlier this year, concerns began to surface about some of Micah Turnbo’s writings and podcast interviews, prompting ongoing conversations between Luke, Micah, and Vineyard USA leadership. The situation escalated when a widely viewed video criticizing Micah was released, leading to increased public attention, news coverage, and a flood of messages—ranging from concern to hostility. Notably, concern has also been expressed by leaders and members throughout the broader Vineyard movement, specifically regarding some of Micah’s theological statements, the way he described his prophetic experiences, and the level of authority with which those experiences were communicated. Vineyard Northwest leadership acknowledges its own responsibility for not helping Micah communicate in a way that upheld both prophetic ministry and Scriptural authority. In response, Micah, Vineyard Northwest, and Vineyard USA have together decided that Micah will take an extended leave from public ministry to rest, reflect, and seek guidance. Throughout this season, Micah remains deeply loved and supported, and we trust that God is at work, preparing a redemptive path forward for him and our church.
