A Chronicle of Zion It Needs To Listen To: The Michael S. Black Conversations Part 1

He was the Psalmist of Zion, a gifted young man whose musical and vocal abilities were wholeheartedly devoted to the leadership of worship at the Remnant Fellowship Church as it launched in 1999.As the son of the late Gwen Shamblin Lara, he was appointed by his now sadly infamous mother as a leader of the movement whose spiritual direction included the creation of music that advanced the Remnant worldview most creatively and was adored and followed reverently by hundreds of thousands in Lara's Weigh Down seminars and crusades.But the story didn't end there. His disillusion, his dysfunction and ultimately his departure from it is a testimony that "Zion", as the church culture with Remnant characterizes itself, needs to hear and is a cautionary tale as to how the love of absolute power, as well as the love of money, absolutely corrupts as the root of all evil.We are privileged to host this first of several interviews with Michael S. Black, formerly known as MIchael Shamblin. In this episode, he reflects on his family's ordeal as Gwen's lifelong obsession with flaunting authority became a megalomania that birthed her Remnant vision.
