Mata Reports - Not Her Destiny

From Mata with Mihingarangi Forbes , 7:00 pm on 2 October 2025

For years, Destiny Church shaped every part of Lynia Morseu-Tol's life: her faith, her family and her identity. As a takatapui wahine Maori, its teachings left her feeling ashamed, conflicted and alone, all while she endured years of abuse at home. Sixteen years after leaving the church, Lynia speaks out about its leaders, who she believes failed to protect her, while condemning Ngati Uenuku - Rainbow Community. This is Lynia's story of reckoning with faith, identity and whanau.
