In a sermon, Webbon suggested that women who falsely accuse men of sexual assault should face public execution, stating, "False accusing, playing the victim when you’re actually not; you know how to end that real fast? All you have to do is publicly execute a few women who have lied."<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/far-pastor-wants-false-sexual-141959467.html</ref>

In March 2025, allegations surfaced in an online article by [[Eli McGowan]] about Webbon's past misconduct, including claims of fornication and dishonesty.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/839556297/Testimony-Regarding-Joel-Webbon</ref> Critics argue that such behavior disqualifies him from pastoral ministry (Webbon contests that such was before being actually ordained).<ref>https://x.com/elimcgowan/status/1903177210988777872</ref>
