Bible app owner sparks fury by saying wife was ‘promiscuous sexual sinner’ while he was a virgin – but new unearthed video tells VERY different story

Christian social media star Trevor Sheatz had been sharing his faith online for years, but a post about his wife’s sex-crazed past rained hell down upon him.

Sheatz, 30, revealed the mother of his three children, Ashley Sheatz, 27, was a ‘sexual sinner’ until she embraced God two years before their wedding.

‘My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin,’ the Californian’s lengthy Twitter post on Monday began.

‘She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc.’

Sheatz bragged that Ashley was now ‘more pure than most virgins’ and the most ‘wonderful and godly wife’ and homemaker.

He claimed they ‘didn’t sin sexually with one another’ or even spend time alone together during their year as friends and just six months of dating, and had their first kiss at the wedding altar in August 2020.

The evangelical’s point was that Christians shouldn’t write off a potential spouse as ‘damaged goods’ if they had repented from a sinful past, and Ashley has been open about her past life of drugs, wild parties, and many lovers.

But that didn’t stop many of the 11,000 people who commented from condemning him for ‘throwing his wife under the bus’ to 20 million viewers and counting.

Despite broadcasting his wife’s former proclivities and insisting he was a virgin on their wedding day, Sheatz has admitted that he was guilty of ‘sexual immorality’. 

He gave no further details of his ‘sexual immorality’ and has not offered any explanation as to why he described himself as a virgin years later. 

Sheatz also struggled with drug addiction, violence, and ‘battles with pornography’, which he neglected to include in his post.

This dark history is occasionally mentioned in vague terms in his online ministry, and he outlined it in a tearful YouTube video weeks after his wedding in 2020.

‘I grew up with divorced parents, was forced into a shelter home, got into drugs, immorality, and cussed out a pastor to his face the first time I met him,’ he wrote in summation.

‘Nine months later, I was crying with that SAME pastor in his house as I repented & trusted in Jesus. Jesus can save ANYONE.’

The video explained that his parents split when he was 13 and there was violence and numerous calls to the police and a ‘vicious battle’ over the children in the divorce.

At one point he and his older brother and younger sister were put into a shelter home by the police for their safety.

Sheatz admitted he was ‘a problem’ and ‘our parents would sometimes have no idea what to do but to call the cops’.

Court documents from the bitter divorce showed Sheatz’s parents John and Elena took out restraining orders against each other and accused one another of domestic violence.

The divorce papers included harrowing accusations from Sheatz and his sibling about their mother’s alleged behavior, along with police investigation reports from when they were called to the family home.

John, who died in 2015, was convicted of felony willful violation causing injury years earlier. Any records of police being called on Sheatz are sealed as he was a minor.

He was so disruptive in high school that he accrued 60 hours of detention and was thrown out of two classes by security and banned from ever returning.

‘Junior year was the lowest point of my life. I got deeper into drugs, deeper into sexual immorality and I eventually overdosed and it was a horrible experience that I’ll never forget,’ he said.

Sheatz claimed God ‘broke me in very specific ways’ to humble him enough to accept Christianity when he hit rock bottom in 2013.

Ashley is far more open about her past life, and has made her redemption arc a key part of her story that she preaches to the world.

In one post she told her thousands of followers that her past ‘life was one many would never expect if they were to look at my life (now)’.

‘I was depressed. Lost. Confused. Broken. Suicidal. Insecure… I was a dread-headed hippie lost on drugs, festivals, partying, sexual immorality, and rebellion masked in a facade as an “Enlightened” or “Spiritual” girl,’ she wrote.

‘I came close to death from drugs multiple times, and yet God still spared my life and caused me to be born-again.’

She shared a photo of herself with long dreadlocks, including a wrapped one that ‘had a mini spoon attached [to] it for snorting drugs’.

Ashley explained in a manifesto written before she got married that, like her future husband, her troubles started with a broken home.

Her parents divorced when she was three, and she claimed to have started watching pornography at age 11.

By 15 she was ‘promiscuous, jumping from relationship to relationship, smoking, sneaking out at night, lying to my mother where I was going, drinking, and partying’.

She dabbled in ‘New Age, Hinduism, Buddhism, The Occult, Yoga, Shamanism’ which she called ‘dark and deceptive false religions’, and got dreadlocks at 16 as part of a ‘hippie’ lifestyle.

Ashley started doing psychedelic drugs like LSD, magic mushrooms, and DMT at 17 under the influence of her 23-year-old boyfriend.

‘I began to really lose my mind and have numerous bad trips, memory loss, psychosis and saw lots of demonic activity in and around me,’ she wrote.

‘I even ran away to Vegas for an entire two weeks without talking to any family and continued to be brainwashed by this man and taken advantage of immensely.

‘I was used, and abused more than a few times at this age.’

One of her string of relationship was a 50-year-old man she met in the desert rave scene who ‘had his own published religion’.

‘He manipulated me, gave me drugs, and did horrible things to me,’ she claimed.

Ashley got addicted to ketamine after leaving that relationship and moved to New Mexico with another boyfriend and ‘got into prostitution online’. 

‘I sold myself virtually online by videos, pictures, etc. I lived here for maybe about four months, until I packed up my bags, got on a train and left.’

Back in California, she went to another rave, met a guy and went to Santa Barbara with him, crashing at friends’ houses or living in a tent. 

While staying at her lover’s friend’s house, she overdosed on ketamine. ‘I started crying and instinctively screaming at the top of my lungs, telling them to let me out of the room, and they refused. They were holding the door closed,’ she wrote.

Ashley broke a window to get out and ran to a dentist office, where she collapsed and had three of four seizures.

Back home and in the care of her father, she was sober for a few months and went to Guatemala to study to become a yoga teacher.

‘I was with yogis, witches, spiritists, and surrounded by lost people who thought they knew the truth, myself being one of them. I was realizing how empty I felt, and how much I was internally hurting,’ she wrote.

Soon after finishing the course and returning home, she came across a Christian YouTube video that eventually led her to embracing God.

‘I have not craved any drug since the date I was saved. In 2018 the Lord freed me from sexual immorality, and addiction to pornography after about seven years,’ she wrote.

Ashley, believing that married women shouldn’t work, now spends her time baking sourdough bread and looking after the couple’s three children at their home in Orange County, California – and railing against her past ‘sins’.

‘Fornication will destroy you emotionally, spiritually, and physically,’ she wrote in one Twitter post, claiming it made you ‘feel empty and alone’, incur God’s wrath, and lead to you catching STDs.

‘None of this would exist if we all lived by God’s design and killed the lust and discontentment in our hearts. We are made to only have sex in marriage,’ she wrote.

Another post lamented: ‘My heart breaks for women who post sexual pictures of themselves online and very revealing outfits.’

‘I refuse to reveal my body and be something for worldly men to gawk at.’ 

Ashley also made the same point as her husband about marrying women like her.

‘If a Christian man refuses to marry a godly woman who has a sexually immoral past (repented of), I feel very sad for them because that’s so not the heart of Christ,’ she wrote.

‘Also…He better not have lusted after women, watched pornography, or had sex outside of marriage either.’

In a different post she added: ‘if you find a godly woman or man with excellent character with a repented sexually immoral past, and on the other hand have a virgin with not so great character, and you choose the virgin… That can be quite foolish.’ 

Sheatz founded On the Mount to ‘reach more souls with the gospel and biblical truth on social media’ by helping Christian ministries expand their reach online.

He responded to the backlash against his post by pointing out his wife ‘delights in sharing her testimony’ and arguing the Bible didn’t shy away from recording the sins of its leading heroes like King David, who had a man killed to take his wife.

‘Christianity isn’t for those who are perfect. It’s for the broken, the lost, the sinful. No one is too far from God’s grace that they can’t be saved,’ he wrote.

But he was happy the outrage helped the post go viral as it allowed more people to hear his message.

‘I am so grateful this practical story can reach the far corners of the internet where even though many may mock, it will resonate with some who are convicted of their secret sins, which God will one day reveal,’ he wrote.
