Zacharias “made her pray with him to thank God for the ‘opportunity’ they both received” and, as with other victims, “called her his ‘reward’ for living a life of service to God,” the report says. Zacharias warned the woman—a fellow believer—if she ever spoke out against him, she would be responsible for millions of souls lost when his reputation was damaged.
The findings, alongside details revealed over months of internal reckoning at RZIM, challenge the picture many have had of Zacharias.
When he died in May, he was praised for his faithful witness, his commitment to the truth, and his personal integrity. Now it is clear that, offstage, the man so long admired by Christians around the world abused numerous women and manipulated those around him to turn a blind eye.

I loved listening to Ravi Zacharias. He was so smart. I regret having recommending him to a few searching souls. I won’t give him a pass for having a weakness. He enjoyed being held in high esteem and made a good living....when he should have been beating his breast, begging forgiveness, and going through humbling healing treatments to be free of this. He clearly thought he was above this. What a terrible thing he has done to his wife and children.
Psalm 146:3.
I wouldn’t necessarily believe any of this.
“Christianity” Today = Slightly Less Credible than CNN.
Especially since it took two authors to write it. Grain of salt.
Stop believing BS.
It’s in the report from the investigators hired by Zacharias’s own corporation.
The right message, the wrong messenger.
There is no sin but that which is common to man,,,,thank God for His grace. I feel bad for his family.
He sounds like the religious version of Weinstein.
It also sounds like the women voluntarily did it for money.
Just all around a wonderful circle of people.
How convenient that he is dead
I’m shocked, numbed! I loved watching him and got great inspiration from his talks.
I feel bad for his victims.
“I wouldn’t necessarily believe any of this.”
There must be some innocent reason he had 200 ‘massage therapists’ in his phone contacts!
It is a cultural thing ...
Some people were able to detect something was off about him but not me. I only viewed a few youtube videos of him a year or two before he died but he seemed impressive to me. I watched his funeral also on youtube and found it quite moving. I was unaware because I didn’t follow him closely of the allegations that were made against him before he died. It was well swept under the rug. His rep and legacy is now in tatters but I think he has bigger worries now.
And the walls come tumbling down.
“It’s in the report from the investigators hired by Zacharias’s own corporation.”
Here is that report.
