Greg Locke

Greg Locke is an American evangelical pastor who founded and leads Global Vision Bible Church, a non-denominational congregation in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, focused on biblical preaching and deliverance from demonic influences.^[1]^[2] Through Locke Media and Global Vision Press, he produces content including bestselling biblical commentaries, the podcast On Point, and the 2023 documentary Come Out in Jesus Name, which chronicles exorcisms performed at his church and emphasizes supernatural spiritual warfare.^[3]^[4] Locke converted to Christianity in 1992 and earned a master's degree in revival history from the Theological School of New England in 2000.^[5] His ministry has drawn large online followings, with over 1.8 million Facebook likes, but has also sparked debates over practices such as public book burnings of titles like Harry Potter deemed to promote witchcraft and accusations of witchcraft among church members.^[6]^[7] Locke has publicly opposed COVID-19 restrictions, labeling the pandemic response as exaggerated and discouraging masks and vaccines in sermons, positions that aligned him with conservative critiques of government mandates.^[8]

Early Life and Conversion

Childhood and Family Background

Gregory Duane Locke was born on May 18, 1976, in Nashville, Tennessee.^[9] His father was incarcerated in the Tennessee State Penitentiary for approximately ten years during Locke's early childhood, contributing to family instability.^[9] Locke's mother remarried when he was five years old, introducing a stepfather with whom he developed a contentious relationship marked by resentment and conflict.^[10]^[11] This fractured home environment fostered a turbulent upbringing, with Locke experiencing rage and familial discord that influenced his early emphasis on personal accountability amid adversity.^[10] Raised in a nominally Christian setting near Nashville, he showed little engagement with religious institutions prior to adolescence, reflecting skepticism toward structured faith amid personal chaos.^[9] By his mid-teens, Locke entered state custody following repeated conflicts, including being sent to the Good Shepherd Children’s Home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at age fifteen after multiple arrests.^[9] His pre-1992 years involved typical yet escalated adolescent struggles—burglaries, fights, vandalism, and legal troubles resulting in six arrests and five probations—which underscored a pattern of rebellion and self-reliance forged in response to absent paternal guidance and strained stepfamily dynamics.^[12]^[13]

Conversion to Christianity and Initial Ministry

Locke experienced a dramatic conversion to Christianity in 1992 at the age of 15 while at the Good Shepherd Children's Home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a facility to which he had been sent following multiple arrests for juvenile offenses.^[14] ^[15] This event, described by Locke as a profound personal turnaround from rebellion to faith, occurred amid his time as a ward of the state and introduced him to evangelical beliefs centered on repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ.^[15] ^[9] Immediately following his conversion, Locke, then 16 years old, preached his first sermon, marking the onset of his public ministry and reflecting an urgent sense of calling to share the gospel.^[16] His early efforts emphasized personal testimony—recounting his own redemption from hardship—and straightforward proclamation of core Christian doctrines such as sin, atonement, and eternal life, without the charismatic elements that would characterize his later work.^[15] These initial activities laid the groundwork for skills in evangelism and oratory, as he began associating with independent fundamental Baptist circles, focusing on direct appeals to faith rather than institutional affiliations.^[15] ^[17] By the mid-1990s, Locke's foundational ministry had evolved into itinerant evangelism, where he traveled extensively to preach in churches and youth gatherings, prioritizing unadorned biblical exposition and calls to personal commitment over theological speculation or supernatural demonstrations.^[17] ^[7] This phase solidified his identity as a revivalist communicator, distinct from his subsequent shifts toward deliverance practices.^[18]

Education and Theological Formation

Formal Education

Greg Locke completed a Bachelor of Biblical Studies at Ambassador Baptist College in 1998.^[13] ^[19] He then earned a Master’s degree in Revival History from the Baptist Theological School of New England in 2000.^[15] ^[20] These programs centered on practical theological training, prioritizing the examination of scriptural texts and patterns of historical awakenings over theoretical or denominational dogma. Locke's coursework in biblical studies fostered an early emphasis on literal interpretation of Scripture as the primary authority for doctrine and practice, a foundation that distinguished his approach from broader ecclesiastical traditions.^[2] His graduate focus on revival history further oriented his framework toward empirical accounts of spiritual movements, such as those led by figures like Jonathan Edwards and Charles Finney, reinforcing a pragmatic orientation toward faith application rather than abstract scholarship.^[21] This educational path equipped him with tools for ministry that privileged direct biblical fidelity and revivalist precedents in shaping personal and communal spiritual life.

Influences on Early Beliefs

Locke's early theological formation occurred within the independent fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) tradition, which emphasized sola scriptura as the sole authority for doctrine and practice, fostering a skepticism toward claims of ongoing post-apostolic miracles. This perspective, common in IFB circles, posited that spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and healing ceased with the apostolic era and the completion of the biblical canon, prioritizing scriptural sufficiency over experiential or charismatic excesses.^[18]^[22] His studies at the Baptist Theological School of New England, an IFB-affiliated institution from which he graduated in 2000 with a master's degree in Revival History, reinforced this cessationist framework by focusing on historical orthodoxy and the doctrinal emphases of past awakenings. The curriculum highlighted revivals like the First Great Awakening under Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, which stressed preaching, repentance, and biblical fidelity rather than supernatural manifestations, thereby linking Locke's initial beliefs to a causal chain of reformed evangelical priorities that viewed modern charismatic movements as deviations from scriptural norms.^[15]^[5] These influences cultivated an early commitment to evangelical separationism, rejecting mainline Protestant compromises on issues like biblical inerrancy and cultural accommodation while aligning with non-charismatic traditions that subordinated personal revelation to historical creeds and confessional standards. This doctrinal starting point manifested in Locke's initial ministry as an IFB evangelist in the mid-1990s, where he traveled extensively promoting a Bible-centered approach untainted by what the tradition deemed Pentecostal emotionalism.^[7]^[23]

Founding and Development of Ministry

Establishment of Global Vision Bible Church

Global Vision Bible Church was established by Greg Locke in 2006 in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, initially operating as Global Vision Baptist Church under an independent Baptist framework.^[7]^[9] The church began with a small congregation, prioritizing Bible-centered preaching as its foundational approach to ministry.^[24] Locke's vision emphasized direct, expository teaching of Scripture to foster spiritual growth among attendees.^[24] From its inception, the church's core mission revolved around uncompromised proclamation of the gospel, delivered through systematic, chapter-by-chapter Bible exposition, alongside efforts in community outreach and support for global missions.^[24] This approach reflected Locke's commitment to scriptural authority as the sole basis for faith and practice, distinguishing the early gatherings from broader denominational structures.^[24] The initial setup in Mount Juliet allowed for intimate, resource-conscious operations amid the church's nascent phase.^[25]

Church Growth and Operational Challenges

Global Vision Bible Church, founded by Greg Locke in 2006, initially operated from modest facilities in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, with attendance estimated at around 300 people prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[26] By May 2020, as in-person gatherings resumed amid restrictions, the church erected a large white tent on its campus to accommodate surging attendance, which Locke attributed to uncompromised preaching and online media outreach.^[27] This expansion reflected broader trends in evangelical churches leveraging digital platforms, with the congregation growing to fill the temporary structure for multiple services weekly, though exact post-2020 figures remain unreported in public records.^[28] Operational hurdles intensified with the tent's prolonged use, as the church faced persistent zoning disputes and noise complaints from neighboring residents in Wilson County. Since 2019, issues including excessive amplified sound during services, unpermitted construction, and drainage problems prompted formal complaints, culminating in a March 2023 lawsuit by county officials alleging violations of local ordinances.^[29] Locke responded by announcing plans to countersue, framing the actions as attempts to "bully" the ministry, while the church continued operations without immediate compliance.^[30] These challenges, compounded by traffic congestion and community backlash, hindered permanent facility development despite fundraising efforts.^[31] In July 2024, Locke declared the relocation of the church to a new site, citing divine timing amid unresolved local tensions, with the final tent service held on November 24, 2024.^[27] The congregation shifted to a leased 32,600-square-foot warehouse at 1010 Maddox Simpson Parkway in eastern Lebanon, Tennessee, intended as a transitional space to support ongoing services and potential future expansion.^[25] This move followed a failed attempt to purchase an existing church campus in Lebanon, which Locke blamed on external interference rather than internal financial shortfalls.^[32] Financial operations centered on tithes and designated building funds to underwrite growth, with Locke periodically appealing for contributions toward a permanent structure. In October 2024, amid disputes over a stalled property deal, he offered refunds of tithes to dissenting members who questioned fund stewardship, but later retracted the promise, asserting that such donors had not contributed to building efforts.^[33] Accusations surfaced that building fund proceeds—earmarked for expansion—were diverted to personal expenses, including a $1.6 million home purchase, which Locke denied, emphasizing transparency in church finances.^[25] Attendance reportedly stabilized or increased during these periods of public scrutiny, underscoring resilience tied to Locke's confrontational style, though precise membership data tied to controversies lacks independent verification.^[28]

Theological Evolution and Key Teachings

Shift from Cessationism to Deliverance Ministry

Greg Locke initially adhered to cessationism, the theological position that miraculous spiritual gifts, including prophecy, tongues, and healing, ceased after the apostolic era of the early church.^[18] As a Baptist-trained preacher, he described himself as "a cessationist amongst all cessationists," viewing such phenomena through a strictly historical lens confined to the New Testament period and dismissing contemporary claims as unscriptural or exaggerated.^[18] Locke's doctrinal shift began in the early 2020s, prompted by direct observations of what he interpreted as supernatural manifestations during church services at Global Vision Bible Church. A pivotal incident occurred during a baptismal service, where an 8- or 9-year-old girl reportedly growled, clawed, and exhibited behavior Locke attributed to demonic influence, challenging his prior skepticism and leading him to exercise authority in Jesus' name to address it.^[18] This experience, combined with reevaluations of biblical texts like the Book of Acts during mission trips, prompted him to question cessationist teachings, asking whether he had been "lied to" or "deceived" about the ongoing availability of spiritual power.^[18] Through first-hand encounters with apparent demonic oppression, healings, and exorcisms, Locke concluded that these align with verifiable New Testament precedents, such as Jesus' commission to cast out demons (Mark 16:17) and the apostles' practices, rather than being limited to the first century.^[34] He argues that cessationism undermines biblical spiritual warfare by implying demons can only be managed through prayer, counseling, or medicine, not directly expelled, contrary to scriptural commands.^[34] This evolution resulted in a ministry emphasizing deliverance as a normative Christian practice accessible to all believers, not reserved for specialists, to counter what Locke sees as widespread evangelical avoidance rooted in fear or doctrinal rigidity.^[34] In works like his 2023 book Cast It Out: The Call to Set People Free, he frames this as fulfilling the Great Commission, urging laypeople to recognize and engage demonic influences biblically without sensationalism.^[34]

Views on Miracles, Exorcism, and Spiritual Warfare

Locke teaches that miracles, including physical healings and supernatural interventions, persist as normative elements of church life, directly patterned after the New Testament where Jesus and the apostles routinely demonstrated such signs to authenticate the gospel and advance the kingdom.^[35] He positions exorcism—termed deliverance ministry—as an extension of this miraculous authority, asserting that believers possess the delegated power to evict demons through declarative commands invoking Jesus' name, as instructed in passages like Mark 16:17 and Matthew 10:8.^[36] At Global Vision Bible Church, this manifests in structured mass deliverance events, such as the annual National Deliverance Training Conferences and monthly supernatural services, where hundreds participate in collective prayers to renounce and expel spirits, yielding reported instances of immediate liberation from oppression.^[37]^[38] Central to Locke's critique of cessationism is its perceived unbiblical restraint on supernatural engagement, which he describes as a tradition-bound doctrine that disarms the church against pervasive demonic incursions into culture and personal lives.^[39] By denying the continuation of gifts like prophecy, tongues, and exorcism post-apostolic age, cessationists allegedly enable spiritual passivity, ignoring scriptural mandates for ongoing warfare and the empirical reality of demonic manifestations Locke observes in ministry.^[40] He counters that such skepticism contradicts the Great Commission’s promise of accompanying signs, including casting out demons, and fosters a church ill-equipped to address root causes of societal decay traceable to unchecked spiritual influences.^[41] Locke's practical strategies for spiritual warfare derive from New Testament precedents, emphasizing believers' authority to bind demonic entities, break soul ties or generational strongholds, and enforce freedom through faith-filled proclamation rather than ritual or emotionalism.^[42] In resources like his Deliverance Handbook and book Cast It Out, he outlines steps such as identifying demonic access points (e.g., unforgiveness or occult exposure), renouncing them verbally, and commanding spirits to depart while applying the atonement's covering for sustained victory.^[43]^[35] This offensive posture integrates with discipleship, as Locke warns that unaddressed deliverance leaves individuals vulnerable to recidivism, underscoring Jesus' model of holistic ministry where exorcism comprised roughly one-third of his recorded acts.^[44]^[3]

Political and Cultural Engagements

Stances on COVID-19 and Public Health Mandates

In December 2020, Greg Locke publicly described COVID-19 as a "fake pandemic," distinguishing the reality of the sickness from what he viewed as exaggerated scale and policy responses driven by political motivations, amid surging case reports in Tennessee.^[45]^[46] He argued that government restrictions overlooked discrepancies in mortality data and enforcement inconsistencies, such as varying state rules on gatherings, positioning his stance as resistance to overreach infringing on religious freedoms.^[47] Locke refused to shutter Global Vision Bible Church during 2020 lockdowns, declaring in July 2020 that he would accept jail time over compliance with closure orders, and explicitly rejected mask mandates for congregants, emphasizing personal choice over coerced public health measures.^[48] By July 2021, he escalated this by announcing he would eject mask-wearing attendees, labeling the Delta variant push as "nonsense" and vaccines as ineffective or tools for control, citing observed inefficacy in preventing transmission despite rollout.^[8]^[49]^[50] This approach correlated with church expansion; while U.S. religious attendance declined nationally during the pandemic due to restrictions and caution, Locke's congregation grew, attributed to his messaging against mandates as preserving faith-based autonomy against aligned government-media pressures.^[51]^[28] He framed such alignment as eroding individual liberties, arguing empirical observations—like breakthrough cases and policy shifts—undermined trust in centralized directives over voluntary discernment.^[47]^[52]

Support for Conservative Causes and Criticisms of Progressive Narratives

Locke has vocally endorsed policies aligned with former President Donald Trump's administration, framing them as consistent with scriptural mandates for justice and protection of the innocent. In interviews and sermons, he has praised Trump's emphasis on border security and opposition to policies perceived as enabling child exploitation, asserting that such stances reflect biblical imperatives to safeguard the vulnerable from moral corruption.^[28] ^[53] He has also championed Second Amendment rights as essential for self-defense and resistance to governmental overreach, declaring in a December 2020 social media post that infringement on First Amendment worship freedoms would necessitate invoking the Second Amendment.^[54] In June 2021, amid perceived censorship of his online content, Locke stated that churches should respond to First Amendment violations by asserting Second Amendment protections.^[55] Further, during an April 2022 sermon, he instructed congregants to counter what he termed Democratic "propaganda" through armed readiness, emphasizing the right to bear arms as a bulwark against ideological manipulation.^[56] ^[57] On abortion, Locke maintains a firm pro-life position, rooted in his interpretation of biblical teachings on the sanctity of life from conception. He hosted former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, a prominent pro-life advocate, for a speaking engagement at his church on July 17, 2022, highlighting her testimony as evidence of divine intervention against the abortion industry.^[58] Following the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision overturning Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, Locke led a rally and preached on the Supreme Court steps on May 16, 2022—prior to but in anticipation of such rulings—urging sustained activism to protect unborn children as a moral duty.^[59] Locke routinely critiques progressive cultural shifts, particularly "woke" ideologies, as deceptive influences eroding traditional family structures and societal order. He has denounced transgenderism as a mental illness rather than a legitimate identity, stating in a September 2017 video that it contradicts biological reality and invites demonic oppression, a message that prompted platform restrictions for violating content policies.^[60] In November 2022, he labeled the use of preferred pronouns as "demonic," arguing it facilitates spiritual confusion and infiltration of churches by deceptive forces.^[61] Locke extends this scrutiny to mainstream media, portraying it as a biased apparatus propagating leftist narratives that undermine truth, often citing personal experiences of deplatforming as evidence of systemic suppression of conservative Christian voices.^[62] ^[63] Central to Locke's worldview is an advocacy for what he terms Christian nationalism, not as a political ideology but as a reclamation of America's foundational Judeo-Christian heritage against secular erosion. In September 2019, he publicly burned a copy of Andrew L. Seidel's book criticizing Christian nationalism, rejecting its portrayal of such principles as extremist and instead affirming them as essential for national renewal under God's sovereignty.^[64] He calls for ecclesiastical boldness in confronting progressive secularism, warning that failure to assert biblical authority in public life invites cultural decay and spiritual defeat.^[28] Locke positions these efforts as causal countermeasures to societal moral decline, urging believers to prioritize eternal truths over temporal accommodations.^[65]

Major Controversies

Public Exorcisms and Internal Church Conflicts

Locke has conducted numerous public deliverance sessions at Global Vision Bible Church, where participants exhibit manifestations attributed to demonic possession, such as convulsions and vocal admissions of spiritual oppression.^[66] In February 2022, during services, Locke reported that demons possessing congregants revealed the identities of several "spell-casting witches" allegedly sent to infiltrate and sabotage the church, leading to their public identification and expulsion.^[67]^[68] Eyewitness accounts from attendees and livestream viewers described these events as transformative, with affected individuals claiming subsequent freedom from torment, though skeptics questioned the authenticity, citing potential psychological or performative elements without independent medical verification.^[69] These sessions gained viral attention, amplified by Locke's 2023 documentary Come Out in Jesus' Name, which featured footage of mass deliverances involving hundreds, including rebukes of spirits linked to occult practices like astrology and clairvoyance.^[69] Locke defends these practices as direct applications of New Testament commands to cast out demons, citing passages like Mark 16:17, and reports sustained attendance from supporters who attribute personal healings and behavioral changes to the ministry.^[70] However, the emphasis on dramatic, public confrontations has fueled internal divisions, with some members viewing them as essential spiritual warfare while others express unease over the spectacle's intensity and lack of private counseling protocols.^[69] In October 2024, amid scrutiny of church finances, Locke publicly offered to refund tithes to any members doubting the stewardship of funds, framing it as a test of faith.^[33] By November, he retracted the offer, with his legal representatives reportedly warning at least one requesting donor against pursuing repayment, exacerbating accusations of mismanagement from departing critics who alleged misuse of building funds for personal expenses.^[33]^[71] Locke countered that such claims stem from spiritual opposition rather than evidence, maintaining that biblical tithing precludes refunds and that the church's growth—evidenced by ongoing conferences and prison outreaches—validates its operations among loyal adherents.^[33] These rifts have led to member attrition but also consolidation among those affirming Locke's authority, with no audited financial disclosures publicly resolving the disputes.^[71]

Legal Disputes and Community Backlash

In March 2023, Wilson County officials filed a lawsuit against Global Vision Bible Church and Pastor Greg Locke, alleging zoning violations, construction without permits, and excessive noise from outdoor tent services held since 2019 at the church's Mt. Juliet location on Old Lebanon Dirt Road.^[29]^[72] The suit cited over 100 noise complaints logged since 2020, primarily from nearby residents disturbed by amplified worship music and sermons audible in their homes, alongside traffic congestion from growing attendance that exceeded 2,000 weekly visitors by 2023.^[73] Locke responded by announcing plans to countersue, framing the enforcement as regulatory overreach infringing on the church's free exercise of religion under the First Amendment, while neighbors formed groups to fund their own litigation, describing the operations as a persistent "hostile" nuisance.^[74]^[75] These disputes escalated through 2023 and into 2024, with ongoing code enforcement actions prompting Locke to announce in July 2024 that the church would relocate to mitigate conflicts, citing the need for a permanent structure to accommodate expansion amid sustained community pressure.^[76]^[77] The church dismantled its signature white tent in December 2024 after holding final services there, transitioning to a 32,600-square-foot warehouse facility in nearby Lebanon for its first service on November 24, 2024, though an initial purchase of an existing campus fell through in October.^[78]^[25]^[79] Empirical data on attendance growth, from under 1,000 in 2019 to over 2,500 by relocation, underscored legitimate operational demands rather than mere disruption, as the temporary tent setup—necessitated by rapid expansion—amplified logistical strains in a residential zone.^[77] A separate safety incident occurred on September 3, 2024, when Locke's Mt. Juliet home was targeted in a drive-by shooting, with 30 to 40 shell casings recovered and bullets damaging the property, including a bedroom occupied by his youngest daughter at the time, though no injuries were reported.^[80]^[81] Authorities arrested 20-year-old Tyler Poole of Hermitage on December 5, 2024, charging him with aggravated assault, four counts of reckless endangerment, and vandalism; Locke publicly linked the attack to the church's high-profile visibility, attributing it to opposition against his ministry without evidence of direct causation.^[82]^[83] This event heightened scrutiny on the church's community relations, juxtaposed against claims of targeted persecution, as local law enforcement investigated it as an isolated criminal act rather than organized backlash.^[84]

Political Involvement and Conspiracy Allegations

Greg Locke attended the January 6, 2021, rally in Washington, D.C., where he positioned himself on the Capitol steps as a witness to events he described as a peaceful protest against alleged election irregularities in the 2020 presidential vote, rejecting characterizations of it as an insurrection.^[85] ^[15] He has repeatedly promoted claims of widespread voter fraud favoring Democrats, framing them as evidence of systemic corruption drawing from patterns of historical political misconduct, such as irregularities in past elections and institutional distrust.^[86] Locke has endorsed elements of QAnon-related narratives, including references to child trafficking rings and elite corruption, while later distancing himself from fringe aspects like flat Earth theories, attributing initial openness to broader concerns over government overreach and moral decay.^[87] ^[88] Critics, including mainstream media outlets, have labeled these views as conspiracy theories unsubstantiated by empirical evidence from court rulings and audits that upheld the 2020 election results, though Locke maintains they reflect observable causal chains of institutional bias and elite entrenchment.^[86] He has accused Democratic leaders of demonic influence and corruption, urging followers to reject them as incompatible with Christian values, a stance he ties to biblical warnings against spiritual deception in governance.^[89] In 2025, Locke reaffirmed his strong support for Israel amid accusations of financial incentives and backlash from some conservative circles questioning U.S. aid, emphasizing biblical end-times prophecy, opposition to antisemitism, and personal costs including lost opportunities, while denying any paid advocacy.^[90] ^[91] He hosted events like an October 7, 2025, gathering at Global Vision Bible Church titled "America Stands with Israel," linking the stance to prophetic fulfillment and rejection of narratives portraying Israel as aggressors in conflicts like Gaza.^[92] This position aligns with his broader pattern-based reasoning on geopolitical alliances, viewing U.S.-Israel ties as a bulwark against global corruption and prophetic adversaries.^[93]

Media Presence and Publications

Books and Written Works

Greg Locke has authored multiple books centered on spiritual warfare, deliverance practices, and revival principles, aiming to instruct believers in biblically grounded strategies for confronting demonic influences and pursuing supernatural empowerment. These publications position deliverance as an essential, scripturally mandated component of ministry, critiquing the reluctance of many evangelical traditions to engage directly with exorcism despite New Testament precedents.^[43]^[94] Cast It Out: The Call to Set People Free, released in July 2023 as the third installment in Locke's Spiritual Warfare series, provides detailed methodologies for identifying and expelling demons, drawing from his observed ministry outcomes and Jesus' emphasis on such acts comprising approximately one-third of His recorded activities. Locke chronicles his doctrinal evolution from cessationist convictions—viewing ongoing miracles and deliverances as improbable—to affirming their normative role, equipping readers with scriptural protocols to facilitate freedom from oppression without reliance on prolonged counseling or psychological frameworks.^[43]^[35]^[94] Preceding volumes in the series, This Means War and Weapons of Our Warfare: Unleashing the Power of the Armor of God, outline the Christian's offensive and defensive posture against principalities via Ephesians 6's imagery, stressing immediate spiritual authority over incremental self-improvement approaches. These texts, along with six others achieving Amazon #1 bestseller rankings, underscore Locke's influence in promoting unreserved application of biblical warfare tenets amid perceived timidity in broader Protestant circles.^[95]^[96] Additional works such as REVIVAL examine historical awakenings to advocate renewed emphases on mass repentance and Holy Spirit outpourings, while Accessing Your Anointing: Understanding The Spiritual Gifts delineates activation of charisms like prophecy and healing to foster church vitality beyond cessationist constraints. Locke's writings consistently prioritize direct scriptural exegesis and testimonies of tangible results, such as reported liberations in his congregation, over theoretical discourse.^[96]^[97]

Films, Podcasts, and Online Influence

Greg Locke has featured prominently in films centered on his exorcism practices and claims of supernatural interventions. The 2023 documentary Come Out in Jesus Name, directed by Ed Lamberg and Tim Romero, chronicles Locke's transition to public deliverance sessions following personal spiritual experiences, with theatrical screenings accompanied by live simulcast events for audience exorcisms.^[98] ^[99] The film emphasizes Locke's confrontations with demonic influences, positioning them as evidence of revivalist ministry.^[100] In 2024, Locke co-directed Miracles at the Movies: Locke + Signorelli alongside pastor Mike Signorelli, condensing footage from prior works including Come Out in Jesus Name to highlight reported miracles and deliverances, screened as a limited one-night theater event on April 23.^[101] ^[102] These productions underscore Locke's emphasis on visible spiritual warfare, with post-screening sessions intended to facilitate direct participant engagement in exorcistic rituals.^[103] Locke hosts the podcast Red Sky: Signs of the Times, a prophetic news format analyzing global events through biblical prophecy lenses, integrated with his Red Sky News platform for broader commentary on end-times themes.^[104] ^[105] Episodes draw from Locke's interpretations of scripture and current affairs, aiming to equip listeners for perceived spiritual battles.^[106] Locke's social media activity, particularly on Facebook with its official page amassing 1.8 million followers, has propelled his visibility beyond church walls, viral clips of sermons and exorcisms garnering widespread shares that correlate with surges in Global Vision Bible Church attendance.^[6] This digital outreach extends to YouTube, where content on spiritual warfare and cultural critiques has faced platform restrictions yet sustained influence through alternative dissemination.^[107] The amplification via these channels has positioned Locke as a key voice in online charismatic discourse, fostering communities engaged in his deliverance-focused worldview.^[108]

Personal Life and Recent Developments

Family and Relationships

Greg Locke was married to Melissa Locke for 21 years until their divorce was finalized in 2018.^[109]^[110] In August 2018, he married Taisha Locke (née Tai Cowan McGee), his former administrative assistant at Global Vision Bible Church.^[110] Locke and Taisha reside in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, where they raise six children from blended family arrangements, including adopted children, along with one grandchild.^[95]^[2] Taisha Locke co-pastors Global Vision Bible Church alongside her husband, integrating family participation into church programs and portraying their household as a stable foundation supportive of ministry outreach.^[1] In public statements following his divorce, Locke addressed relational strains, denying infidelity and framing past marital difficulties within a context of spiritual opposition, while emphasizing restoration through faith as integral to his pastoral example.^[109]

Security Incidents and Ongoing Ministry Shifts

In early September 2024, approximately 30 to 40 rounds of gunfire struck the Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, residence of Greg Locke, pastor of Global Vision Bible Church, while his child was inside the home and the family returned mere seconds after the shots ceased.^[81]^[111] The Wilson County Sheriff's Office classified the incident as a targeted attack, recovering numerous shell casings and investigating it as an act of violence against Locke, known for his outspoken conservative Christian positions.^[112] In December 2024, 20-year-old Tyler Poole of Hermitage was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, four counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and two counts of vandalism in connection with the shooting.^[82]^[83] Earlier that year, on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, a trailer containing Bibles was set ablaze outside the church grounds in Mount Juliet, an act Locke described as evidence of escalating anti-Christian hostility amid his ministry's controversies.^[113]^[114] Locke has publicly linked such events to broader patterns of threats, harassment, and ridicule, including denial of services and membership losses exceeding hundreds, which he attributes to his stances on cultural and political issues like support for Israel.^[91] In response to zoning challenges and legal hurdles in Wilson County, Global Vision Bible Church ended its tent-based services there in November 2024 and transitioned to a leased 32,600-square-foot warehouse at 1010 Maddox Simpson Parkway in Lebanon, Tennessee, after a prior attempt to purchase an existing campus failed.^[115]^[25] This relocation, announced by Locke as marking a "new season" of adaptability, resolved ongoing disputes over the temporary tent setup while accommodating the church's growth and operational needs.^[32] Locke's 2025 sermons reflected these shifts, emphasizing endurance amid trials through refutations of imminent secret rapture predictions—such as one tied to September 23, 2025, which he labeled a "dangerous mistake" citing repeated historical prediction errors—and calls for urgent revival and prophetic visions of spiritual warfare.^[116]^[117] In addresses like "Embrace the End Times" in January 2025 and messages at Revival Nation events, he urged preparation for persecution-like pressures, framing recent incidents as part of a divine testing process requiring steadfastness.^[118]^[119]
