The internet is full of crazy things. That's part of what makes it so fun, but then, from time to time, you come across something that is genuinely insane.
What makes it so insane isn't the fact that someone is doing the insane thing; it's that so many people are genuinely latching onto it as if it's the next thing that will fill that gaping hole in your life that you've been trying to fill with everything that drifts across your social media feeds.
Lo and behold, the next craziest thing just drifted across my X feeds. Watching it set off an alarm in my brain that was pretty loud, and after you watch the video yourself, you'll probably hear said alarm too.

What you just witnessed was people at a Houston, Texas, book signing losing it after having an interaction with a woman who calls herself Apostle Kathryn Krick (the capitalized "A" in Apostle is her choice, not mine).
Looking into it, she heads a church called "5F" in Los Angeles, California. She just released a book called "Ignite Revival," and apparently, watching her sign it is enough to send you into an experience of the holy fits.
I've seen people experience these fits before, and if I'm being honest with you, the vast majority of the ones I've seen are either performative or someone is lost in the emotional sauce that they think they're experiencing a surge of the holy spirit so powerful that it causes them to convulse and lose control. I would never say that there aren't moments where it happens for real. I'm sure it does, but I've been around long enough to know the signs when I see one.
And the signs are all there. Let's start with Krick.
I can say that she very much resembles a cult leader. According to ChurchLeaders.com, Krick moved to LA to get work as an actor, and apparently, the 5F church started as a small prayer group where she would "preach." For years, her little church would decline in membership until she hit a big moment on social media that sent her popularity skyrocketing.
She adopted the moniker of "L.A.'s TikTok Apostle," and consistently released social media posts under God's instructions.
I don't doubt God gives instructions to people every day. It's my firm belief that He gives me instructions, too. I ask for them nightly. However, despite my work on YouTube highlighting His word, the one thing I've never done is deem to call myself by any kind of grand title. In fact, I make it clear that I have no theological or formal Bible history training to make it clear that I may get some things wrong and that corrections are welcome.
Krick not only gave herself the title of "Apostle" despite having no formal training like me, but she also says her authority comes from a Prophet in Tanzania, according to Church Leaders:
In a recent post, Krick wrote, “Eight of my spiritual sons who serve at @5fchurch traveled to my spiritual father, Prophet GeorDavie’s church in Tanzania. When they arrived, Prophet GeorDavie revealed their callings as pastors, an apostle, and a teacher, and anointed all eight of them for ministry.”
Krick credits the authority of Prophet GeorDavie for her ability to cast out demons and perform faith healings. According to his bio, GeorDavie holds a Ph.D. in church ministry and carries “the fire of Apostolic and Prophetic World Missions.” His books include “Keeping up With God’s Kingdom Government Standards.”
Who is GeorDavie? His full name is Prophet Dr. GeorDavie, or sometimes Bishop Geordavie, or sometimes Professor GeorDavie, but the important title that he never gives himself is fraud, which, it appears to me, is exactly what he is.
Why is he a fraud? Because he accepts worship of himself. He accepts surrender and obedience from others... including Kathryn Krick. This is when he's not walking around on red carpets with a literal crown on his head, because that's definitely what the Prophets of God have always done.
This is #geordavie #KathrynKrick Babba “daddy” She is his puppet, and I would not doubt that they have had “relations” This is a real cult. Pure evil. 5F church is bringing in millions, according to her tax returns, and a lot of these donor funds are gong to her “Baba”… pic.twitter.com/n95KMtQfzD

By the way, I don't know if you caught it, but Krick quoted John the Baptist when he said "someone greater than me is coming," and when she said that, she was talking to GeorDavie.
And the Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Krick also accepts worship, as you can see here.
Ladies and gentlemen... Kathryn Krick.

Krick's cult-like leadership contains all the hallmarks.
The end is nigh, and she's part of the prophesied awakening. She directs a lot of adoration and worship toward herself. She performs "miracles" on the easily gullible and casts demons out of children who are plainly acting and having a good time doing so.
Love bombing, information control, and cultural isolationism are all present in her "ministry."
This isn't anything new, of course. People have been proclaiming to be far more in God's inner circle and getting crowds to believe it wholeheartedly. However, this kind of cult seems geared toward the algorithm.
Look up anything about Krick, and most of the videos you'll see are either her casting out demons, causing people to go into holy fits, or warning everyone that the doubters are just haters and trying to stop the coming of God's kingdom by discrediting her. Even the 5F church website has featured pictures of people doing exactly what you've seen in the videos above. Convulsing and writhing, and Krick preaches over them.
I think we're seeing the world's first cult influencer. A religion fit for TikTok, and using the most powerful name in the universe as its mask.
