Jim wraps up this 2 part series on the fall of traveling evangelist Robert Morris.

For more than two decades, Robert Morris stood at the center of one of America’s largest megachurches. As the founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, he built a sprawling ministry, became a trusted voice in evangelical circles, and even served as a spiritual adviser to Donald Trump. To his congregation and the wider public, he was a man of faith, leadership, and influence. Then, in June 2024, the truth that had been hidden for decades came into the open. Cindy Clemishire, then 54, publicly described how Morris began sexually abusing her on Christmas night in 1982, when she was 12 years old and he was a 21-year-old traveling evangelist staying in her family’s Oklahoma home. The abuse continued for roughly four and a half years, until 1987, when she told her parents.

The story did not end with the resignation. In 2025 Morris was indicted in Oklahoma on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child. In October 2025 he pleaded guilty. Under the plea deal he received a 10-year suspended sentence, served six months in the Osage County Jail, agreed to pay Clemishire $270,000 in restitution, and must register as a sex offender for life. He was released in March 2026
