The campaign to cancel Dr. Conrad Vine has intensified as all his sermons have been removed from AudioVerse, one of the largest Seventh-day Adventist streaming platforms. AudioVerse used to feature Dr. Vine’s sermons [1], but as of right now, none of them are available. [2] This action serves as a stark reminder of the growing influence of the cancel culture in Adventism, which is diametrically opposed to the values of free speech, the preaching of the gospel, and the call to revival and reformation.
The movement to cancel Dr. Vine is not just meant to deplatform him. No. They want to crush and silence every voice of dissent that deviates from the official church narrative on issues like religious liberty, tyranny, pandemics, and similar matters. Within Adventism, the cancel culture operates through public shaming and church-institutionalized pressure. This creates a climate of fear as people become terrified to speak God’s word freely for fear of rebuke and censorship. This is how revival and reformation are being quenched in the church today.
AudioVerse, which is available on mobile and desktop apps, has literally thousands of sermons from hundreds of Seventh-day Adventist speakers. The steaming website, which also provides songs, audiobooks, and Bible readings, describes itself as “a platform curating the best in Adventist audio content.” AudioVerse has now joined the growing list of those who are seeking to suppress the voice of protest in Adventism.
Why do so many members support the marginalization of pastors who preach present truth? Why do they side with these oppressive and unchristian methods intended to restrict our freedoms to express ourselves or hear what Conrad Vine has to say? Do we no longer believe that freedom matters? Unfortunately, we have too many people in the pews and pulpits who will never stand up for true revival and reformation. We have too many today who will just sheepishly submit to whatever the secular state or the secular church tells us. They will never dare rock the boat or upset the status quo because they have effectively lost the spirit of Protestantism.
“God cannot use men who, in time of peril, when the strength, courage, and influence of all are needed, are afraid to take a firm stand for the right. He calls for men who will do faithful battle against wrong, warring against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It is to such as these that He will speak the words: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; … enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’ Matthew 25:23.” (Prophets and Kings, p. 142).
“It is not from love for their neighbor that they smooth down the message entrusted to them, but because they are self-indulgent and ease-loving. True love seeks first the honor of God and the salvation of souls. Those who have this love will not evade the truth to save themselves from the unpleasant results of plain speaking. When souls are in peril, God’s ministers will not consider self, but will speak the word given them to speak, refusing to excuse or palliate evil.” (Prophets and Kings, p. 141).

The people should now see what spirit is leading these men. These men aren’t behaving like brothers. They are behaving as lost men.
“I appeal to my brethren to wake up. Unless a change takes place speedily, I must give the facts to the people; for this state of things must change; unconverted men must no longer be managers and directors in so important and sacred work. With David we are forced to say, “It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.” TM373
Peaches says
Amen! I agree. Sis White said that we have more to fear from within than without. The GC is not the church.,
Jason says
How Papal of them. This is very alarming. It really shows who’s spirit these men are following.
Erich Schultze says
Thank you dear brother Roman for these clear statements and your tireless clarification. I believe that the shaking has begun to bring about the necessary separation of the two main groups. Ellen White points out the important characteristics of the two groups in Early Writing:
„As the praying ones continued their earnest cries, at times a ray of light from Jesus came to them, to encourage their hearts and light up their countenances. Some, I saw, did not participate in this work of agonizing and pleading. They seemed indifferent and careless. They were not resisting the darkness around them, and it shut them in like a thick cloud. The angels of God left these and went to the aid of the earnest, praying ones. I saw angels of God hasten to the assistance of all who were struggling with all their power to resist the evil angels and trying to help themselves by calling upon God with perseverance. But His angels left those who made no effort to help themselves, and I lost sight of them.“ EW 270.1
JAMES ACRE says
From what I have heard from Conrad Vine he speaks the truth. I felt abandoned by the SDA conference when I decided to put out a religious exemption to avoid getting the employer mandated vaccination. Pastor Vine was a good source of support through the process. It’s a shame that the truth gets band from this platform. I have served been also fired from that employer.
Carmen Ryan says
Whoever has come and done this To Dr Vne should be ashamed, not very Christian of them. The Dr was only telling what he thought we should know.Not what the conference was hiding. Carmen Ryan a little about me On 2011 my cousins came to Mt to see me, my cousin Jennie Saladino asked me when was the last time I prayed, told her 30 yrs ago. The day she left I prayed that morning, late afternoon getting ready to watch the sunset there was Jesus in the clouds smiling down at me. When I told Jennie what happened all she could say was “You see he’s glad your talking to him again. Been a 7th Day since June 24th, 2011. So shamed of my conference, what really set me off was sending Mark Finely to speak on YouTube offshoots really. God help you all. I cannot wait for God to take care of all evil involved, yes evil ones not Christians.
Beatrice Banks says
What is the reason he has been canceled?
YesMsJane says
1Timothy 6:10
“For the love of money
is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.’
Alexander says
Everyone reading this should send a message to AudioVerse, asking why they removed Dr. Vine, and insisting that Dr. Vine’s messages be reinstated.
Rhoda says
That is a very good idea my problem is I don’t know anything about them . Or how to get in touch with them. I hate bully’s and vindictiveness . If you could please give me the details of how to get n touch I would be grateful.
There is a petition drawn up by a lady called Jennifer williamson on change.org supporting dr Conrad Vine . She needing 100.000 signatures. If you are interested.
Lisa Grantham says
I am interested to sign this petition
Tammy Kellogg says
You may want to try ACM, American Christian Ministries app. They have great sermons and a lot of the old ones which provides solid biblical standing. I don’t think they canceled anyone.
Mike says
Very useful. Thanks. Stephen Bohr and Eric Wilson (former martial arts expertnwhonrun Isaiah Ministeries is missing from their list of speakers.
Ronnie Eugene Stone says
And they will spout off some “generic” reason, as they’ve already done.
LINDA says
The SDA Church has made a huge error in doing this to Pastor Vine, he will become more relevant now than ever before!
Jew says
God will stand for those who stand for Him.
Keep Dr Vine in your fervent prayers.
There is an online petition for Dr Vine.

Claudia says
Wow. Terrible to hear. Hopefully they repent of this evil deed. Pray for them. Ask that the Holy Spirit doesn’t allow them to rest until this wrong is righted.
Rhoda says
I agree this wrong must be put right and for anyone else who has been wronged for standing up for the truth
peter gurko says
Andy Roman should be ashamed. He left out significant information from Dr. Vine’s statement. Vine did not suggest forming a new church he advocates tithe going to conferences that do not support behaviors such as the Alphabet Critters seeping into our churches. Shame on you Roman! Ms Frances Andrews, (SMC Journalism) would give you an F for this.
Miranda Biari says
I am a follower of Dr Vine and always listening in from Papua New Guinea. Coincidentally, last night I heard the sermon Dr Vine preached on God is Judge. It was a beautiful message I have heard in a while.
His presentation got me engaged from the very beginning till the end of the live sermon.
I like his sermons tho.
John Trainor says
They sound very beast-like.
Banksy says
Notes on Conrad:-
The SDA Legal entity is not “The Church”- its faithful followers are.
Aligning decisions to support earthly mandates that crush personal and spiritual liberty of faithful souls is an abrogation of divine authority.
Conrad Vine was mis-reported.
Notwithstanding CV’s statement was unduly provocative.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Unaddressed Polarisation on this matter without acknowledgment there has been a lack of principle based decision making will hugely undermine the purpose expanding the message of Present Truth.
Those “Influencers” eg Bohr Findley etc are actually missing addressing the root cause of the problem.
Rather than defend the “company narrative” they should uphold bible- principle based decision making and step back from defending egos of those delegated to work the “engine room of church politics”.
Those involved might be smart but they are not wise.
russell Noel says
JESUS said, ” there are many things I have to say unto you, but you can’t bear them now. Howbeit when He the SPIRIT of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth. The SPIRIT has been here for almost 2000 years, so here is a truth we need to bear, Not every leader in this SDA movement has GOD’S honor and glory in view. Many don’t have the love of CHRIST in their hearts, the love of money has supplanted it. Hence we no longer hear present truth from our pulpits, they have made friends of the unrighteous mammon and the “man of sin.” And here is another truth. ” This is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true GOD and JESUS CHRIST, whom thou has sent.” Only a personal experience with JESUS by His indwelling SPIRIT, will see us through. Hold fast that no man take thy crown. Let us lift up Dr. Vine and others like him, as well as the work of GOD in prayer. For with God all things are possible, He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness. GOD bless.

THE GC can’t see it but the comediennes can 🙄
Linda Deming says
Conrad Vine has always spoken Biblical truth. That he has taken a stance against the failings of the GC speaks volumes. For a very long time, I have not felt “at-one” with the GC over various matters. I pray that God will hold Conrad up as he travels through this valley. God’s Kingdom can stand ONLY where truth is valued above any of man’s plans or devices
