Other former members, including gospel singer [[Vicki Yohe]] and Taylor's ex-wife Tabitha Taylor, claim that Taylor uses his position in the church to lure women into sexual relationships, including married members of his congregation.<ref name=ChristianPost>{{cite news|last1=Blair|first1=Leonardo|title=Ex-Wife of David E.

One member of the church donated over $1 million. In a subsequent divorce proceeding, Taylor was subpoenaed for a videotaped deposition to detail his church's spending. In the deposition, he described a $2.8 million residence in the St. Louis area, three luxury vehicles (including a limousine), and a 2013–2014 clothing budget of approximately $30,000. He explained the clothing expenditures as due to his frequent travel and "sweating through all [his] clothes."<ref name=ChristianPost /><ref name=Post-Dispatch />
