I sincerely hope she’s reading her word now. Clearly she had no relationship with Jesus. She needs to study to show herself approved. Hmmm I never saw this young lady in the prayer group, I feel Sorry for her ignorance and need to speak badly about a pastor and church. I hope she’s better now
Seems superficial like it’s a false sense of security, a false gospel. A false church, showing false love, a kundalini spirit. ( false Holy Spirit) Some pastors like to be worshipped. Idol worship is not who Jesus is. He is so humble, the Holy Spirit is not controlling. It’s sad because many pastors should never have been ordained as pastors. Many are called but few are chosen. If people can’t come to the church for healing and deliverance, and guidance where can they go? It’s possible many of his members are hurting but they won’t receive the healing they need because u just can’t laugh your problems away. Praying many will wake up including the pastor.
I stopped watching Michael Todd too, but he definitely did preach about repentance at the beginning of his career. His sermons used to be pretty solid.
Yup I think it’s the little fame that he is getting. He dresses like the club is at church and his demeanor is very intense now. especially in his eyes I cannot look into his eyes when he preaches 👀 ✨He was not this intense before. Jesus look over this church 🙏🏽✨
This is why it’a so important to study the word for yourself. This young lady said she was attracted to the church because there was no conviction of her own actions and it made her feel good. The Bible said in the last days people will preach to those having “itching ears” (paraphrasing) and that’s what these mega churches do. A lot of what she said the church does goes against the Bible
Exactly . The part about no conviction is what’s driving people to mega churches . Burds of the same feather flock together . In a joyful tone those of us who are not in the flesh and walking in it are like eagles . We see sharper and clearly even from the highest altitude as an eagle can see fish in the depth of a sea or ocean . Holy Spirit inspired Conviction is the platform to rocket your faith in God and to soar higher with Jesus Christ . I pray those in that church and ever church like or similar be awakened out of this death sleep of man made sermons teachings and charisma .
I used to watch Mike Todd. He actually has had some strong biblical teachings and I believe he started sincere, but it slowly became more about theatrics and money. There’s a reason why the Bible warns against a novice in the faith being a pastor (1 Timothy 3:6). There’s a reason why Jesus said you can’t serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). There’s a reason why he says it’s hard for a rich man to get into heaven (Mark 10:25). I pray he repents and returns to his first love.
@@IAM2388 I grew up in the church and I still consider myself a novice in the faith because I fell away and am also still working through some of my theology. As far as elder qualifications are concerned I’m a novice. I think he’s a novice in terms of taking it serious. He might’ve always been around it but once it took it serious his rise to power was quick and you can tell he still had some theology to work out. You can also see the pride that came with his success.. which is what 1 Timothy 3 warns against.
@@sylvonnahharv5849 by repent I don’t mean for a specific sin, I just mean to turn. I’d love to see him turn towards just teaching the Bible and away from the focus on theatrics and prosperity gospel. I’ve enjoyed some sermons when he used the theatrics to bring the Bible to life, but recently it’s been more of a distraction in my opinion. I’m not condemning him to hell or anything.. I just think people who watch him would be more spiritually edified if the focus was the Bible. When I watch Mike Todd now I feel like I’m watching a motivational speaker as opposed to getting spiritually edified and that wasn’t always the case. I loved his series Forgiveness University for instance.
I found this channel tonight and man this is so imperative. When I left TC I felt isolated and rejected. I volunteered for leading a B Group & Outreach. When I left TC the “friends” I had met downcast me and rejected me for bringing up controversial things that PM did. It’s enriching and humbling to know I’m not alone. I wasn’t the only one deceived but I’m not the only one who escaped. There’s hope for the people still there, God can reach them still. ❤❤❤❤
GOD loves you soooooo much and JESUS is the Lover of your soul. You seemed to have dodged an eternal bullet (theologically speaking) so praise GOD for that and find and pray for friends that will love you for you, not for what you do😅! Praying for you🙏🏽.
Thank you for your testimony. I've been going to my church for 26 years and off at my church I felt rejected but not today thank God. It's a blessing to know I'm not alone when I felt that, thank you. Never forget you are a blessing. Father God, bless this person with friends that have a relationship with you in Jesus name amen.
I've been watching his sermons for about 5 years when the church was getting bigger, but was still fairly small in comparison. What's crazy is I remember a sermon from MT a few years back where he was putting down churches for having the front rows set aside for higher ups or anyone really. And even though its a small thing it's proving that so much has changed. His past messages were so much more genuine and included convictions and hard truths, as well as being much more bible based.
I served at Transformation Church for 10 years and I finally left because of the abuse, the hazing, etc. that I experienced there as a worship leader on TC Worship. She’s definitely speaking the truth. Very surfaced truth but it’s the truth anyhow. The interview was definitely all over the place and didn’t go into the depth of the cult-like behavior. However, I was front and center to the manipulation and grooming that took place. I gave my soul to that place. It’s when I left when I realized how dark my life and servanthood to that church really was. SHEESH.
@@alexandrianicole1916your really have to tell your story brother, God may use your story to open the eyes of those people who are stuck in that cult and believe they are in a church.
I would love to talk to you just casual conversation. When I started to notice things and brought it up to other Transformation Church followers we weren't on the same page. I went to the conference and also picked up on some weird vibes. Would love to do a virtual coffee date. I'm no interviewer, just a sista who wants to chat.
Thank you, Julia, for sharing your testimony and the TRUTH, sounding the alarm and warning people about a false 'profit, a wolf in sheep's clothing preying on others. And it's not only these mega churches but even smaller churches who also teach these charismatic, prosperity 'sermons'. EDIT: I also watched 'American Gospel'. It was such an eye opener.
We need to pray for the people going to that church; on the other hand those who have a genuine heart for God will be led out of it by the Holy Spirit.
I stopped watching Transformation Church last year for not preaching the gospel but the prosperity…I don’t need to be motivated for I am a hard worker..I needed to learn the fear of the Lord.
He doesn’t preach about the prosperity gospel. He preaches that we are to be good stewards of what God had blessed us with and to be generous. He isn’t a perfect man but he say’s that regularly. Demonstrated sermons used to be called object lessons and many people understand better through demonstration.
@@StacyChastain it’s simply because he makes you feel emotionally comfortable that’s why you can defend him, he tells what you want to hear and not what will save your soul. Todd needs to preach according to what it is written 2 Timothy 4:2, he will give an account to the Holy One Of Israel.
Very informative conversation. But sadly, it's very similar to stories from others who have left a mega church. It's good that she is telling her story about what Transformation church is really about. Praise God for bringing her out of that false church. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thats crazy about attending church for 2 yrs without meeting your pastor. My daughter and I attend a different church out of state from where we live but so far when we visit that state and attend to our church in person twice now, we met our pastor by our 2nd visit! As a out of state visitors... and they are a growing church too with 3 different timeslots every sunday sermons, soon to add a 4th one. The pastor and his wife, even personally baptized my daughter themselves. I love my intimate church and cant wait to move states to be able to attend in person regularly vs online. Prior before meeting my current church, ive tried listen to mike todd sermon online but every single time i always fell asleep lol. I used to feel bad about it but now I know why... The Holy Spirit most likely put me to sleep, so I dont get deceived and too invested in TC. God had a better church for me and my daughter without falling asleep. Glory to God 🎉
Our greatest defense against these false teachers/preachers is the Word of God. That's how we guard against falsehood. Had a similar experience in a false church. Still experiencing issues in some ways due to what I went thru there but thank You Jesus for delivering me. Would love to share my experience. It wasn't from TC though
Amen! I just commented on this very subject. The only way to know who Jesus is, is to read His Word. However, unfortunately, so many people attend Church, but never open their Bible's. They just want the appearance of being Holy, without bearing any Fruit.
This was a great interview. Julia stated similar reasons why I left. I didn't serve but the other parts I definitely understood. The thing I notice is when I talk to someone that has left TC it is usually about not being pointed to Christ, being man centered, not diving into scriptures properly. It is refreshing to see I wasn't the only one that noticed this when attending TC
@@Kdubtru Yep. I went for about 2 years. I stopped when the Pandemic hit. After reading and actually studying the word. Everything felt off about that church
Great Interview Bro...One thing that caught me and I wished that point could have been highlighted, and that's when she said that she was wondering when she going to hear the gospel and about Jesus during his sermons, but by the end of the sermon of Mike Todd and "Me" centered teachings, SHE DIDNT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS..And thats how she knew something was not right there...😳😱😲😳😱😔😔😔😔😳😲😳😱😱Reminds me of the Laodecian rebuke in Revelation when Jesus was standing outside the church knocking to be let in and he is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH..
Before Pastor MT became known or famous, he was not like this! He has changed significantly from his sermons, the way he dresses, the way he carries himself, and so forth. I use to hear a sound of obedience in his voice before he became known but now I don't heart it at all. The fame has consumed him! Lord have mercy on us all!!!
The Bible says that he was never a true Pastor to begin with, because he turned from preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:19 "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
Without volunteering, I concur with everything that was said. It's so sad because he wasn't always like this. I was all in and something just happened during covid...the Holy Spirit was dealing with me regarding his messages. I didn't go back and realized I wasn't the only one being convicted. Bless you for bringing this forward, too many being led astray.
I used to attend a church in Durham, NC just like that. Same set up, same theatrics, etc. One day I woke up and realized what it was all about and left, never to return again.
Sounds a lot like my story. I'm so glad that Our God is a promise keeper and says he didnt leave us as orphans. After backsliding back into smoking weed which lead to me going back into maturation a lust filled heart and even back into a little pornography like 3 times my spirit hated all of it. I have since repented trusted what Jesus has done on my behalf and he has opened my eyes wide open that I need so much more of him than what I thought I had with hearing Water downed messages. But I think God for channels like this and living waters with Ray Comfort as well as many other teachers that have clearer taught the true Gosple that brings true repentance and so much peace than I've ever experienced in my life. Pray that I stand firm on what I've learned and as I have sung in those mega churches where we sing no going back no going back the world behind me the cross before. Time to really start living this out hy the power of God thru the cross of Christ. Thank you Holy Spirit for the conviction. Continue to shed light on all darkness be it in my own life and the body of Christ at large.
I pray for your continued growth in faith and relationship with our Father. I too had the problem of addiction to weed, lusts and pornography. They seem to go hand in hand. I have been delivered from it all when I thought I could never stop smoking weed. Been celibate for over 3 years, without pornography for over 2 years and without smoking weed for over a year. All praises to Jesus and his redemptive work on the cross! You will make it!! He has called you for his purpose. You shall walk in it and be blessed!
I definitely agree with you. I started watching Transformation Church in 2018 and the sermons convicted me and made me realize I was really broken and needed healing. Once Mike Todd hit mega pastor status his messages became very lukewarm.
@@carlab656 Same for me it was like something in my Spirit told me to remove myself from his sermons. 2018 is the year I got Baptized and I was so ignorant and thirsty to learn similar to this young lady Julia in the testimony I didn't know scripture. He was good back then, humble, honest actually really teaching in a way that we could understand. I still have my journals where I took notes on some of his sermons.
I watched the Crazy Faith series and the ONE sermon that helped me the most was Bri. Mike Todd learned from Elevation, which is where I used to go. I served for years ... All the things she said is true for all these mega churches. I started out at Church by the Glades in South Florida, I went to Vous as well when I lived down there. Then when I moved, I started at Elevation. Not do it have stories. What's so sad is how blind these pastors are as to what's going on in their own churches. I finally got to the place where I read my own Bible and realized I need to find a different style church!
Jesus said apart from me you can do nothing......we need him he don't need us God is self sufficient in himself. He does whatever he wants besides sin or tempt anything to sin.
After the Easter program he put on and allowed this year I was definitely done with transformation… had been a memeber for 5 years and God instantly spoke to my heart and was like uh uh run
The scripture she spoke of is James 5:19-20. I thank God for this young lady who is not ashamed to speak against false doctrine. We need to take heed to the warnings. I pray that God blesses her so her voice may ne heard and the lost will come out of the pit of deceit.
Praise the Lord! This is exactly what you needed to leave for. I'm going to be honest I thought she was going to say many other things but I was hoping it was about the conviction, about the receiving the word of God to be transformed! That is exactly right when you are an adult and being taught in visual childlike performances you will not be convicted not at all and you'll stay right there in your flesh! Praise the Lord that somebody gets it! Congratulations on your move your marriage and soon to be newborn❤🙏🏾
Great guest. Julia seems like a natural for this, and I would like to see her make the rounds in these RUclips streets. Praise God that she got out of that place. She described charismatic church promotion 101. I have a similar story on a smaller scale.
Yes, Like mine, but I expect not to share on your channel to exposed, I found someone who also exposed charismatic Teaching same as you but around near location at me but love to see her story on this one exposed about them.
@@adriaanj1808 Cool, Loved to here your Story too. Also With Charismatic Church Promotion 101 Rule you do not know who is Actually Saved, as you have Saved and Unsaved in those Church walking together it like Unbeliever and Believer which is not good as Scripture says (that is why the Charismatic Churches are growing), I just mention but can wait to here your story.
I stopped watching Todd over 5 years ago bc I saw how false his teachings were. I pray this guy gets can on the right road. I wish this video would go viral too bc it needs to
So church has a culture. Volunteerism to move the agenda of the church forward IS church culture. Having a positive attitude IS church culture. Feeling responsible for the salvation of others IS church culture. Its not a mega church thing. People who have not grown up in the church raise eyebrows or don’t really get it. But those who have know that this is common, normal, and expected. It is church culture.
Just coming onto this. I hope her baby is healthy and all is. My sister recently had her twins last year as well. They are healthy but they live far. I have not met them yet.
I dunno why Americans love attending these mega churches. I heard of one particular African American gentleman who attended the Potter's House for two decades lamenting the fact that he had never met T.D. Jakes. Not once in 20 years
Right!!!! Will the real pastors please stand up!!! Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, 20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
That’s because they usually have cell groups with a person in charge of the group that is the pastor of the group. When there is thousands of people attending one church it is impossible for one man to have an individual relationship with that many people. The members don’t even know everyone that are members. Most of the time there are two or more services on Sundays. That is one reason why I enjoy a smaller church group. We get to know and enjoy fellowship with each other as well as with the pastor also.
It’s always at the beginning of ministry where messages are about the main thing, saving souls. I stopped watching Michael Todd last year because his sermons started looking like performances. The Bible is unfolding right in front Of us. TD jakes, MT, Steven furnick, Joe Olsteen, pastor Lewis- all of them are false prophets and have been seduced by the fame. Christianity now a days is literally a business and good “marketing” we need to remain in prayer. God has been exposing for some time now
This channel is very informative and I appreciate this so much!!! Its so important that we all hear others out so we are not mislead for others may had been in the path of God but changed it themselves for selfish benefits and others have stuck to their path with God truly Glorifying his name!! Thank you for these videos truly 🙏🏽
The part she mentioned about volunteering was something similar to the church I grew up in my whole life. If you weren't serving in the church, something was wrong with your walk. Also, if you didn't know your spiritual gifts, you weren't walking hard enough. They were big on spiritual gifts. I grew up in a non demoniational church. I was sexually assaulted in my church and treated like I was the problem and not him. Growing up there from 4 to, I wanna say 24 was horrible. I've been rocky in my faith for a long time, for more reasons than all that. I do hope one day, I find my way back. I struggle with depression a lot and mental health issues, and I was treated wrongly. For that. I was told the reason was bc I didn't have enough faith or pray hard enough. It makes me wonder at times if I ever knew Jesus at all. There's more that goes into all this. But this video reminded me of that. Thank you to this brave woman for her gentle heart and story♡
@beckyterra3493 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to offer a prayer for you that God forgives your current falling away from him. That He heals you from your sexual abuse. And that you learn of Him, his nature and the love that He has for you. Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Father, I asked that you allow Becky to enter into your courts with praise and see you as the Great Healer through your Son Christ Jesus. Let her know that grace, mercey, forgiveness and power is available to her. This we pray in Christ Jesus name, Amen.
I just stopped watching, God gave me discernment about Mike. At the beginning of my faith walk, I loved transformation church! I was craving to get to know Jesus. I was so happy! Then after a while I kept seeing videos on why to stop watching transformation church. But from my perspective, I’m a big believer and not judging people, and I would go to bat for him. Calling people out, etc. I recently just got into God’s word ( the Bible) and ever since then so much discernment and even more videos were popping out about transformation church. I recently watched this past Sundays sermon and the way he would preach and the things that he would say and do made me look at him funny and not receive anything that he was saying anymore. Not even the praise and worship team moved me anymore. Because tbh the way Michael Todd speaks in church, it’s almost to the point where people are glorifying HIM, instead of Glorifyijg the Lord. And I just can’t get down with that. Mike Todd is not about to have me burning in hell
I don’t listen to Mike Todd but the Co-pastor Charles Matclef the first time I saw him something didn’t sit right with me. The things he says on instagram is so inappropriate! I don’t trust him at all.
I am pleased with her honesty. She's definitely proof that these false prophets cater to the child in people: Children don't know anything about accountability and responsibility unless they're taught it. That's exactly what conviction is: Being held accountable and responsible for your behavior. People by nature hate being told what to do in the first place and it's even worse when that childish and selfish aspect isn't curbed with discipline. This is the age of narcissm and selfishness. It's an " What's in it for me?" world. False prophets like Mike Todd appeal to this because he himself is like that. He likes the power and money but no accountability and responsibility
As someone to use to attend and no longer goes,This is very interesting. I even used to attend transformation all the way back when he was just the youth pastor and it was titled “So Fly” 1. why do you expect volunteers to come up and play nice when they are at the gym to work out??!? She even said it “you can’t be happy all the time” Then don’t expect that from the volunteers you see out in public. Like huh. 2. Why not give the name of the person who harassed you and your sister?? Why continue to protect them? 3. the situation where your sister “almost” met him. Is he just supposed to look everyone in the eye whilst he walks past them? did she even try to speak? Or just stand there and wait for him to notice her? 🤔 4. What’s wrong with everyone having a smile on their face when you show up? And volunteering??how do you expect to go to a church like that, and no expect a push of volunteerism?!? Like..lmao!! Do yall want people to be upset when they greet you?? I’m so confused on some of yall statements. Like these people are still human. 5. Questioning him buying out a Nike store and handing out shoes is ridiculous!! Yall want him to do stuff for the community and when he provides shoes for kids it’s a problem?? Lmaaaoo Do you know how many kids are homeless JUST in Oklahoma?? There are some valid things in this video, but some of this stuff seems nit picky and misinterpreted…
wow, she said it. Thats why so many people attend churches like "transformation" church. I'm taking this video and sharing it to my family, they too are not in the right seat.
I believe Pastor Mike Todd is becoming more and more realer and raw regarding the teachings of the Bible. He's changed over the years (which should happen), and in his voice I hear confidence in God and God's word which is what most Christians need but don't have. He's doing his best way he can to get as many people drawn into the kingdom as possible, especially the younger generation which we should appreciate with all the sex education, porn, drugs, fear, anxiety and depression being impressed in the youths minds. What he says may come out strong sometimes even for me but his intentions are what I look at. People, extract truth from what he says before you get offended.
I totally agree! I think people are so used to the traditional way of church that when God starts using a pastor in a new way they don't know how to take it so they immediately want to attack and say he's not truly a man of God. Not trying to compare him to Jesus but to give an example, Jesus came and was ministering to the people the non-traditional way and even on the Sabbath for which it was prohibited and they weren't used to that. That's why they didn't believe in him, thought he was a rebel and a outlaw and crucified him. We got to get out of that place of where we can't accept anything new. God works on different levels and He uses different people to minister to different people in the way that He knows they will be touched and will receive it. I have been listening to Michael Todd for years now and I can honestly say it wasn't until I started listening to him that I started being able to receive God in a way that I have never received before. I started to understand His word in a way that I never understood it before. It changed my life. I don't idolize man so I'm not trying to put Michael Todd on type of pedestal, but his obedience to the way that God wants him to speak his word touched me in a way that I had never felt before. And I was a part of my old church for over 20 years and still was not fed the way I was being fed from transformation church. It's okay if you don't feel like you're getting the message that you need from a specific church, just don't attack that Pastor, Bishop or Apostle because of it It just may not be where you need to be. So ask God to lead you where you need to be. It sounds like she is where I was at one time when I was looking for MAN to give me what only God could give me. I thought that my bishop was going to be the one to transform me inside and grow me in Christ when the truth is that only comes from Christ himself so you have to have a relationship outside of church with God in order to be able to receive the messages that God is speaking through your pastor. If she still felt like she was living in sin and could do whatever she wanted to, that was something personal within her that she needed to go before God with, not something that came from Pastor Michael Todd. That's why I always tell everybody it is so important to know the Bible not just so you can make sure that the pastor is telling the truth but so that you can be able to receive correctly the messages that they're given. I think we get so wrapped up in criticizing the church that we forget about the enemies plan to kill, steal and destroy and that he will do that by any means even causing separation from the church and will have us thinking we got good reason to when it's all a part of his plan to keep you bound. I pray that God will come in and reveal to her what's going on inside of her that needs to be healed and delivered. Because no matter what church she goes to, with her current mindset, she's going to always find reason to leave and that's what the enemy wants.
Thank you. This is exactly right and what i disagree with is “exposing” a pastor on a platform such as this because God says if you have an ought against your brother than you are to go to him and him alone Mathew 18:15-17
I understand that false Prophets must be called out but I also think it's really important that we as the body of Christ are led by the Holy Spirit when calling out leaders and our brothers and sisters! Sometimes we as Christians can be more ridiculing than the world to one another! The world has no problem judging or persecuting the church.....We should follow those called to leadership as long as we see the fruits of the spirit, once this is no longer present and evident, it's time to go! Are people coming to Christ, is the word being taught, is unconditional love exhibited,, are there outreaches from the ministry helping the community and the poor? We have to be careful that we as Christians don't assist the enemy with division and discord within the body of Christ! Praying for Pastor Mike Todd and the TC family!🙏🙏🙏
You won’t ever meet Craig Groeschel either at life church. I attended transformation when it was in north Tulsa and I loved it. I made the move to the spirit bank center and it changed drastically.
"My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins." - James 5:19-20
I've been around a number of megachurch pastors. Psychopaths are attracted to that field. Judging by his walking past one of his members without even acknowledging her sounds like something a sociopath or psychopath would do.
So happy for this lady. God showed her the truth about Mike Todd. I listened to his earlier sermons. It was Bible based. Now… it’s more about him & not about The Lord.
Goodness I have so much to say. This interview is bias. I'm very sorry to say, but Julia you seem like a person who bought into the Man of God. You weren't attending for God. You were attending and trying to please the Man of God by works. At one point in the video you stated you never met some of the pastoral staff. I'm not sure why that was important to you but okay. |Pastor's Up Front|Also, that individual's who are up front near the Pastor are his people. In all churches the pastoral staff does have that area reserved for them. We didn't get to witness Jesus and the disciples first hand but where do you think they would have been? I'm pretty sure close to Jesus. As they are in relationship with him. |Illustration| Pastor use illustration. What was Jesus using? He never used the same method twice. Once he used mud/ spit/ his breath/ and so much more. What about God and the fig tree? What about Moses and Pharaoh? |Plagiarizing| You can't plagiarize the word of God. Myles Munroe was an inspiration. There are a lot of things said in this video. We are created in the Image of God. This video scare me as a lot of people are fans. Then get very jaded by not being able to get close to a person. He is a person. The interviewer to me is dead set on making this man out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Then Julia was a fan. I'm glad you left and I hope that you don't follow a man again. I pray that you recognize that this was you flocking to a person and not God. |Money| Mad because her sister couldn't money, but why couldn't she help? Was her sister a member of the church? |Volunteering| She felt pressured to volunteer but was put off when there was no one to be there for her? Moses could not serve everyone and his father-n-law had to advise him to set up the elders to help. |Final Thoughts| Both of these people still watch seemingly every week. I'm glad that you are now reading the word for yourself it was always your charge.
It’s important to meet your pastor because they are called to shepherd the body. Celebrity pastors don’t care for them and don’t get in the “low level” The text in James that was reference LITERALLY condemns saving the best seats in the house for the “elites” Myles munroe was a heretic. If this video scares you it shows how much you are brainwashed in false doctrine and scripture isn’t your ultimate authority. We gave biblical reasons for why Mike Todd is problematic Much of your critique is assuming motives of me and the guest.
@@Kdubtru This is the passage that given to refer to the church being out of order. James 2:3-4 New Living Translation (NLT) If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor”. If the Executive Pastor of the Church is seating on the front row of the church this is the reasoning for them being out of order? She literally stated Charles and the pastoral staff are sitting at the front of the church and what she perceived to be his friends seating in special seats. So that they can Amen him. That passage of James was referring to not this as you as trying to make it seem. It was talking about giving special treatment to a rich man over a poor one due to outward appearances not because someone serves in the church. Did not the tribe of the Israelites have individuals set in different places according to the need of the church. Everyone is to do there part. Where in the Bible does it stated that the Pastor must meet with every single person under his spiritual authority? In fact it states the opposite. We must be wise and careful. Moses Shepherds a large flock and he was getting burned out by the people; so he appointed elders. Numbers 11:16-17. Even the disciples had to do this. Acts 6:1-6 Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables. Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task. If Jesus was walking this Earth you would probably be calling him a Celebrity Pastor. This is exactly what the Pharisees and Sadducees were doing. They saw large amounts of people flocking to Christ and decided in their hearts he was a false prophet and needed to be stopped. But God judges the heart and can not be fooled. In the latter part of this interview you stated jokingly I should go there but they probably won't let me in. What is your motivation? Is it to uncover a wolf in sheep's clothing. Or is it to get more content for RUclips? How many more videos do you have planned to say this man is a fake? How many do you currently have? I stumbled across this video and yes I'm troubled because the division of the body. We all must have Spiritual Discernment. Jesus told us all to test the fruit in the parable of the fig tree. If Myle Monroe and Pastor Mike weren't and aren't bearing the proper fruit. They will stand before him and give account; as we all will.
That's a terrible thing to say. Even she said that she didn't know the Bible and Jesus for herself. She's giving a powerful testimony and you're just putting her down
This is an eye opener about Mike Todd and TC who I've watched online. Why I listen to God and the prompting of the Holy Spirit and one who is a true man after God's heart and not his own self lead interests.
I thought I have heard it all.. but when she said they place his family and friends in the front where the mics pick them up, "Amening" his talks.. lol. Unbelievable.
Mike, Todd is actually an evil genius! He does not present the entire play. He presents segments clips parts, because he knows that each part he present everyone that has a channel will speak about it, which will keep him relevant, which will keep him viral, which will keep money coming into his pocket. No one is talking about that. No one is looking at that big picture, I’ll give you a clip here. I’ll give you scene there. He keeps everyone wanting more. You guys got a remember bad publicity is still publicity which allows his name and his church to keep on flourishing and keeps being a topic of discussion on everyone’s channel, think about it.
I understand where your coming from, however the TRUTH needs to be EXPOSED 😶 once the light is on it's your choice if you go or continue to the wrong way... When you know better you do better... It's kinda like dammed if you do dammed if you dnt 🤷🏾♀️
I have no clue what’s going on but I’ve seen just a couple clips here and there. I used to watch Michael Todd but then I feel like God led me to stop maybe 2 or 3 years ago.This happened with other pastors as well, usually something does end up happening maybe months or so later. Bottom line, the Holy Spirit gives us discernment and we have to yield to His leading. It’s nice and convenient to be able to just turn on a teaching and listen but first and foremost, we need to go to God and get in our word. It can’t just be fed to us. Read the Bible and ask for God to give you wisdom. I pray the best for Michael Todd.
One thing to note: His predecessor pastors had a theme of “Reverse the Curse”. Black Tulsa was bombed and destroyed in 1921. I expect him to buy up as much of Tulsa as possible in the spirit of reparations. If he were an independent business owner, this would be fine. As a church, it has be about the Gospel alone.
Oh my goodness please interview me, I was one of the first people from transformmation nation to move to Tulsa for TC and it was a DISASTER. I’m still traumatized and healing from my time there
I never been to Transformation, but I've been to churches just like it. I don't have a church home now because I'm scared to end up at a church like that. Churches like those are kind of scary and feels more like a cult.
I pray God leads you to a solid, biblically sound church. There’s no need to fear, if you seek the Lord and desire Truth, then He will lead you to the right church family. Proverbs 3:5-6 ♥️
I watched him for a while than stopped when he began the "Crazy Faith" series. This fell on the heels of an announcement about the new 20 million building just purchased. Also, this was at the beginning of covid when people were loosing their Iives, jobs and even livelihood. I thought was the 20 million building purchased in "Crazy Faith" ? I haven't watched a sermon since just seen the viral nonsensical viral clips. He has really changed. Also, he looks and dresses very different. I remembered him saying "he wasn't called to preach " his parent asked him to pastor that church. It explains alot and his more secular evolution rather than biblical.
I just have to say it. Am I the only one that caught that she got married a couple months ago but is about to have a baby any day now?? 🤷🏻♀️ we all make mistakes but she doesn’t sound like she’s really living as a Christ follower. You probably won’t allow this comment because it’s “attacking” her, but Mike Todd himself is quick to apologize for his shortcomings and admit he’s not as “qualified” as other teachers. I grew up in a legalistic church and hated myself and was driven by shame. I watch Mike Todd and have so much more joy. I tithe, am careful about what I watch on tv and have quit the dating scene completely until God brings the right man to me. The church is not responsible for your maturity in Christ, you are.
I disagree. Saying that his props and illustrations are ridiculous is really judge mental. I do really well with illustrations and so do my children. I’m sure the Pharisees felt the same way about Jesus parables….silly stories about farming and not the law.
Pastors will be held accountable for the caring and growth of Jesus’ sheep. Pastors are to lead by example. Most people do not learn from the teachings of the pulpit but the life of leaders. Is that leader pointing people to Jesus and demonstrating a life devoted to Christ? So much of the church has become entertainment. The church is supposed to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
If it's not the true gospel it's wrong. Plenty of people feel good while being leas down the wrong path. Mike Todd and TC is how I was brought back to God. But the more I read the Bible the more I notice that his teachings aren't the most biblically accurate. We can't love and trust ANY man more than the word of God.
The devil loves putting on a show. If people actually read the word, they'd see right through these kind of celebrity pastors (not implying these 2 wonderful people don't) but the bible literally tells us the devil's shows up with smoke (fog machines) , darkness (dim lights in these churches), etc. - I remember cracking up laughing when he did that boat bit with the thunder and lightning 😂😂😂😂 like boy you know what, wit ya manipulative self. - God bless you all. Thank God for giving us wisdom.
No one preaches a perfect gospel except for Jesus because we are all messed up human flesh . My favorite pastor is John piper and even he makes mistakes. You can find issues with every man on earth. Mike todd is doing a fine job he is faithful to his wife and points to Christ in every message. What more do you want from him. But everyone has gotta get paid i guess this guy just makes his money off of critiques!
He’s not preaching a false gospel. The gospel is that Christ came to die for our sins and whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life! He preaches that! Jesus also said to preach this gospel accompanied with casting out demons and healing the sick Matthew 10:8. Are you doing that, if not then you are not following the full instructions of Christ. No one is going to preach the message you 100% want to hear even the sharpest preacher is going to leave something out. I think this is more about not liking the personality of the person preaching mixed with jealousy.
Completely agree. No one should place their faith in any pastor or rely on a pastor to make them feel good about themselves. He’s really helped me in my own personal walk and I feel like people love to use his name or face to try to gain more of a following for themselves.
Every false teacher preaches Christ crucified at some point. But they’re not telling people to REPENT and Die to themselves. They encourage people rather, to fulfill their lusts and desires and that Christ is the means to fulfilling your “wildest dreams”. Wolves in sheeps clothing are just that. They’ll preach enough gospel where they’ll get people defending them saying “look they preach Jesus died for your sins”, but they’ll completely miss the mark when it comes to things like sanctification and they’ll make up their own doctrines or believe heresies like oneness. Of course no preacher is perfect that’s not the point.
Hey I agree 💯 leave quickly don't look back I lefted church 5 years ago no regrets false pastors and bishop frist ladies great testimony omg controlling brain washed jezebel spirit I can reach god myself it's free all about money not souls trust God thanks for sharing blessings ❤️
@linda lewis I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit of God to lead you to a church with a good sincere pastor. No church will be perfect because we are all striving. Be encouraged Sis😊
Feeling convicted doesn't mean you're being led by a teacher of the word who is an expository teacher and doesn't take from or add to the word of God and Mike Todd definitely takes from and adds to the word of God. Don't be led astray because it's theatrical and he provides an awe factor. Ask God to reveal the true purpose of Todd and his church
This hits the nail on the head with these types of churches that I've been struggling with. I don't believe churches should sell anything and I also don't think pastors should profit financially from preaching.
@@thebasementp0dcast Jesus didn't do it for money. As far as I know correct me if I'm wrong but preachers being paid to spread the word of God wasn't always a thing like it is today. It definitely shouldn't be a thing to where members are giving their last pennies while the preachers have million dollar homes and don't help their congregation like some do.
@@L.RILEYSQUATS2PEE That's true. He never collected tithes to give himself earthly riches though and I think that's what bothers my spirit is when preachers take money from the congregations tithe to buy themselves near million dollar homes when the people giving the tithes sometimes are barely making it.
I think we should all be praying for Michael Todd. I did have to stop this video in the middle of it because it felt way too heavy. What I know to be true is is that we do not have a heaven or hell to put anybody in and setting up a platform to place judgment on anyone is not Christ Like. I feel convicted even clicking on the headline.
I don’t recall saying “Mike Todd is going to hell” What I did say is he teaches a message contrary to scripture, i don’t know where we got this idea that we shouldn’t judge, the Bible tells us to judge, John 7:24.
While serving, there should be a smile on your face. Especially as a greeter. If I went into a church and I saw people with their faces frowned up, I would not want to be there. When say demanding God, the Bible say to read Isaiah 45:11. Just because someone tells a story, it doesn’t mean it’s true. Sometimes people leave for different reasons. Be careful of what you believe because people can be upset about things and then try to make things look bad.
@@victoriacox3392 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:15-20 NKJV That’s how
I used to listen to Mike Todd, i remember downloading so many videos of his sermons. But I stopped and i don't regret having stopped listening to his sermons. Now i see him getting worse and I wonder what it will take for people to finally see Michael Todd for who he really is.
Let’s face it: It’s not easy to be a believer. In fact, Jesus told us it wouldn’t be easy. Putting all our trust and hope in God can be tough, especially when it seems like everything is going wrong. Countless Bible verses illuminate faith and the importance of trusting and hoping in God.
This is interview was good but it would’ve been interesting to understand her journey post Transformation Church and how she was led by the Holy Spirit into studying the word and developing her own personal relationship with Christ.
Unfortunately, Jackie Perry requires volunteers to pay the $100 Tix to attend. You do get to be in the cheer leading section but you must pay. That was a HUGE TURN OFF !!!! I decided not to volunteer 😢
He never said if you don’t volunteer your not being obedient to God if you felt pressured which most likely conviction that you weren’t doing what you knew you were supposed to be doing during that period of time like he said had to get rid of the fans I just strongly dislike when people talk down on pastors but be the same people doing the same thing on what they’re pointing the finger on what others are doing.
Wow im so surprised because how he teach & preach about your sin & repentance alot!! My 13 yr old was getting valuable information about Jesus along with how wat he preached wit my other 2 pastors I watch! My pastor smoky Norfolk, and I watch Jerry flowers.. the message is the same but it is presented differently, maybe it was just her & also every pastor is not for everyone.
The Health and Prosperity belief is still in their About us section under Concrete. I saw it up to last night and started doing a comparative biblical study on the scriptures they used to validate such
I enjoyed the interview. She seems genuine about her experiences and I’m sorry for your experiences. However, I am thankful for coming across TC because the theatrics helped me to visualise the Bible when reading it by myself now. I actually remember it better. We need to remember that MT is a human being.
Great video. I don’t watch Mike Todd. Some people I know like him but some of these claims seems like a misinterpretation of situations. Like the smile to save people claim. I wonder if the discussion was more so to make people feel more welcome and for introverts it seems forced but I need to hear more people speak on this. However, the further I went into the video, I was like whoa. The lady was terrible to correct your prayers. Some of the things done behind the seen was horrible. The messages he teaches seemed misinterpreted though. I need examples. I want to hear more sides.
@vavavawawawa3662 If you study your scriptures, you'll see he blatan false teachings. God is serious about His word. He event says that don't be quick to be a teacher, because they will have the greater judgement .
She’s such a gentle person. I love this guest! ❤
She is! ❤️
Agreed!!
She really is , I hate that sincere people seem to get hurt the most , those who really want to know God !
I sincerely hope she’s reading her word now. Clearly she had no relationship with Jesus. She needs to study to show herself approved. Hmmm I never saw this young lady in the prayer group, I feel
Sorry for her ignorance and need to speak badly about a pastor and church. I hope she’s better now
Seems superficial like it’s a false sense of security, a false gospel. A false church, showing false love, a kundalini spirit. ( false Holy Spirit)
Some pastors like to be worshipped. Idol worship is not who Jesus is. He is so humble, the Holy Spirit is not controlling.
It’s sad because many pastors should never have been ordained as pastors.
Many are called but few are chosen.
If people can’t come to the church for healing and deliverance, and guidance where can they go?
It’s possible many of his members are hurting but they won’t receive the healing they need because u just can’t laugh your problems away. Praying many will wake up including the pastor.
I stopped watching Michael Todd too, but he definitely did preach about repentance at the beginning of his career. His sermons used to be pretty solid.
It probably was to lure ppl in
@@Faith459 The more people he can lure in, the more his salary would increase. 🤔
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 It's all about the money. That's most churches these days.
@@wiseman599 Sad but true.
Yup I think it’s the little fame that he is getting. He dresses like the club is at church and his demeanor is very intense now. especially in his eyes I cannot look into his eyes when he preaches 👀 ✨He was not this intense before. Jesus look over this church 🙏🏽✨
This is why it’a so important to study the word for yourself. This young lady said she was attracted to the church because there was no conviction of her own actions and it made her feel good. The Bible said in the last days people will preach to those having “itching ears” (paraphrasing) and that’s what these mega churches do. A lot of what she said the church does goes against the Bible
She spoke the truth
Yep I was drawn to the church too because of this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Exactly . The part about no conviction is what’s driving people to mega churches . Burds of the same feather flock together . In a joyful tone those of us who are not in the flesh and walking in it are like eagles . We see sharper and clearly even from the highest altitude as an eagle can see fish in the depth of a sea or ocean . Holy Spirit inspired Conviction is the platform to rocket your faith in God and to soar higher with Jesus Christ . I pray those in that church and ever church like or similar be awakened out of this death sleep of man made sermons teachings and charisma .
I used to watch Mike Todd. He actually has had some strong biblical teachings and I believe he started sincere, but it slowly became more about theatrics and money. There’s a reason why the Bible warns against a novice in the faith being a pastor (1 Timothy 3:6). There’s a reason why Jesus said you can’t serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). There’s a reason why he says it’s hard for a rich man to get into heaven (Mark 10:25).
I pray he repents and returns to his first love.
Mike Todd is not a novice in the faith. He's a PK.
@@IAM2388 I grew up in the church and I still consider myself a novice in the faith because I fell away and am also still working through some of my theology. As far as elder qualifications are concerned I’m a novice.
I think he’s a novice in terms of taking it serious. He might’ve always been around it but once it took it serious his rise to power was quick and you can tell he still had some theology to work out. You can also see the pride that came with his success.. which is what 1 Timothy 3 warns against.
Could you elaborate on why he should repent for and what change you would expect to see change..
@@sylvonnahharv5849 by repent I don’t mean for a specific sin, I just mean to turn. I’d love to see him turn towards just teaching the Bible and away from the focus on theatrics and prosperity gospel. I’ve enjoyed some sermons when he used the theatrics to bring the Bible to life, but recently it’s been more of a distraction in my opinion. I’m not condemning him to hell or anything.. I just think people who watch him would be more spiritually edified if the focus was the Bible. When I watch Mike Todd now I feel like I’m watching a motivational speaker as opposed to getting spiritually edified and that wasn’t always the case. I loved his series Forgiveness University for instance.
Facts
I found this channel tonight and man this is so imperative. When I left TC I felt isolated and rejected. I volunteered for leading a B Group & Outreach. When I left TC the “friends” I had met downcast me and rejected me for bringing up controversial things that PM did.
It’s enriching and humbling to know I’m not alone. I wasn’t the only one deceived but I’m not the only one who escaped. There’s hope for the people still there, God can reach them still. ❤❤❤❤
Could you email me? I’d love to hear your story? Allthingstheology@gmail.com
Sounds like a datgum cult!
sorry that happened to you, God had to remove those fake friends from your life.
GOD loves you soooooo much and JESUS is the Lover of your soul. You seemed to have dodged an eternal bullet (theologically speaking) so praise GOD for that and find and pray for friends that will love you for you, not for what you do😅! Praying for you🙏🏽.
Thank you for your testimony. I've been going to my church for 26 years and off at my church I felt rejected but not today thank God. It's a blessing to know I'm not alone when I felt that, thank you. Never forget you are a blessing. Father God, bless this person with friends that have a relationship with you in Jesus name amen.
i never thought he was a pastor i thought he was a motivational speaker
💯
Facts!!
He’s not even that ! Y’all gotta stop calling him that .. he’s never motivated me at all .
But even a motivational speaker, a Christian one, doesn’t speak heresy.
If you attend or join a church not focused on prayer, evangelism, discipleship and holiness, RUNNNNNNN!! 😢🙏🏾
So true!! And if they don’t focus on repentance and remission of sins….RUNNNN!!
EXACTLY.
IM GLAD GOD OPENED HER EYES...SHE SEEMS TO HAVE SUCH A SWEET SPIRIT!!
that is why you are supposed to open the Bible for yourself. you cannot just believe what someone tells you.
I've been watching his sermons for about 5 years when the church was getting bigger, but was still fairly small in comparison. What's crazy is I remember a sermon from MT a few years back where he was putting down churches for having the front rows set aside for higher ups or anyone really. And even though its a small thing it's proving that so much has changed. His past messages were so much more genuine and included convictions and hard truths, as well as being much more bible based.
I am very grateful that my family and I got out of a new age church two years ago, glad for your testimony and helping others ❤
I served at Transformation Church for 10 years and I finally left because of the abuse, the hazing, etc. that I experienced there as a worship leader on TC Worship. She’s definitely speaking the truth. Very surfaced truth but it’s the truth anyhow.
The interview was definitely all over the place and didn’t go into the depth of the cult-like behavior. However, I was front and center to the manipulation and grooming that took place. I gave my soul to that place. It’s when I left when I realized how dark my life and servanthood to that church really was. SHEESH.
If you’d like we can go deeper in an interview? I’d you’re willing.

I would love to talk to you just casual conversation. When I started to notice things and brought it up to other Transformation Church followers we weren't on the same page. I went to the conference and also picked up on some weird vibes. Would love to do a virtual coffee date. I'm no interviewer, just a sista who wants to chat.
WOW she has said a lot she did not experience conviction and felt good in her flesh going to church every Sunday! She shared the truth.
And that's not Mike Todd and (church's job). That is the job of the Holy Spirit.
@@dhrachal5133 True, but it seemed like he wasn’t preaching about sin that much
That's all these kinds of churches: Sugar coated poison
@@tiffanyeyoung1800 You are correct!!!
Thank you, Julia, for sharing your testimony and the TRUTH, sounding the alarm and warning people about a false 'profit, a wolf in sheep's clothing preying on others.
And it's not only these mega churches but even smaller churches who also teach these charismatic, prosperity 'sermons'.
EDIT: I also watched 'American Gospel'. It was such an eye opener.
Amen!!
We need to pray for the people going to that church; on the other hand those who have a genuine heart for God will be led out of it by the Holy Spirit.
Mike Todd was solid before and after his Marked message and also even up to Relationship Goals. After RG, Todd started to go left….HARD.
Wow, even some epeople who have been in the church foreva wont admit they felt good on the flesh!
I stopped watching Transformation Church last year for not preaching the gospel but the prosperity…I don’t need to be motivated for I am a hard worker..I needed to learn the fear of the Lord.
He doesn’t preach about the prosperity gospel. He preaches that we are to be good stewards of what God had blessed us with and to be generous. He isn’t a perfect man but he say’s that regularly. Demonstrated sermons used to be called object lessons and many people understand better through demonstration.
@@StacyChastain it’s simply because he makes you feel emotionally comfortable that’s why you can defend him, he tells what you want to hear and not what will save your soul.
Todd needs to preach according to what it is written 2 Timothy 4:2, he will give an account to the Holy One Of Israel.
He preaches the gospel of "how to attract women who bring in the money"

Praise God for bringing her out of that false church.

Indeed the Lord rescues those who are His. Glory to God alone!
Thats crazy about attending church for 2 yrs without meeting your pastor. My daughter and I attend a different church out of state from where we live but so far when we visit that state and attend to our church in person twice now, we met our pastor by our 2nd visit! As a out of state visitors... and they are a growing church too with 3 different timeslots every sunday sermons, soon to add a 4th one. The pastor and his wife, even personally baptized my daughter themselves. I love my intimate church and cant wait to move states to be able to attend in person regularly vs online. Prior before meeting my current church, ive tried listen to mike todd sermon online but every single time i always fell asleep lol. I used to feel bad about it but now I know why... The Holy Spirit most likely put me to sleep, so I dont get deceived and too invested in TC. God had a better church for me and my daughter without falling asleep. Glory to God 🎉
Our greatest defense against these false teachers/preachers is the Word of God. That's how we guard against falsehood. Had a similar experience in a false church. Still experiencing issues in some ways due to what I went thru there but thank You Jesus for delivering me. Would love to share my experience. It wasn't from TC though
Amen! I just commented on this very subject. The only way to know who Jesus is, is to read His Word. However, unfortunately, so many people attend Church, but never open their Bible's. They just want the appearance of being Holy, without bearing any Fruit.
I was on staff at TC for 18 months during this time from 2019-20- I’d love to have a conversation if you’d be open to it!
Email me allthingstheology@gmail.com
Wow! she said so many things that we take for granted!!
This was a great interview. Julia stated similar reasons why I left. I didn't serve but the other parts I definitely understood. The thing I notice is when I talk to someone that has left TC it is usually about not being pointed to Christ, being man centered, not diving into scriptures properly. It is refreshing to see I wasn't the only one that noticed this when attending TC
You also went to TC??
@@Kdubtru Yep. I went for about 2 years. I stopped when the Pandemic hit. After reading and actually studying the word. Everything felt off about that church

@@Kdubtru I am down depending on the day
@@PreacherInTraining we must’ve attended around the same time! I’m so grateful that you were in the word and led out of there. 🙌🏻
Great Interview Bro...One thing that caught me and I wished that point could have been highlighted, and that's when she said that she was wondering when she going to hear the gospel and about Jesus during his sermons, but by the end of the sermon of Mike Todd and "Me" centered teachings, SHE DIDNT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS..And thats how she knew something was not right there...😳😱😲😳😱😔😔😔😔😳😲😳😱😱Reminds me of the Laodecian rebuke in Revelation when Jesus was standing outside the church knocking to be let in and he is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH..
Before Pastor MT became known or famous, he was not like this! He has changed significantly from his sermons, the way he dresses, the way he carries himself, and so forth. I use to hear a sound of obedience in his voice before he became known but now I don't heart it at all. The fame has consumed him! Lord have mercy on us all!!!
I agree I used to watch TC In the early days but like a lot of mega church pastor they get worldly
I think it’s because he got famous really fast!
Them tight clothes 😮 not Holy!
The Bible says that he was never a true Pastor to begin with, because he turned from preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:19 "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
I absolutely agree, in the beginning he was not like he is now
Without volunteering, I concur with everything that was said. It's so sad because he wasn't always like this. I was all in and something just happened during covid...the Holy Spirit was dealing with me regarding his messages. I didn't go back and realized I wasn't the only one being convicted.
Bless you for bringing this forward, too many being led astray.
Wow, glad you left too.
I used to attend a church in Durham, NC just like that. Same set up, same theatrics, etc. One day I woke up and realized what it was all about and left, never to return again.
Sounds a lot like my story. I'm so glad that Our God is a promise keeper and says he didnt leave us as orphans. After backsliding back into smoking weed which lead to me going back into maturation a lust filled heart and even back into a little pornography like 3 times my spirit hated all of it. I have since repented trusted what Jesus has done on my behalf and he has opened my eyes wide open that I need so much more of him than what I thought I had with hearing Water downed messages. But I think God for channels like this and living waters with Ray Comfort as well as many other teachers that have clearer taught the true Gosple that brings true repentance and so much peace than I've ever experienced in my life. Pray that I stand firm on what I've learned and as I have sung in those mega churches where we sing no going back no going back the world behind me the cross before. Time to really start living this out hy the power of God thru the cross of Christ. Thank you Holy Spirit for the conviction. Continue to shed light on all darkness be it in my own life and the body of Christ at large.
I pray for your continued growth in faith and relationship with our Father. I too had the problem of addiction to weed, lusts and pornography. They seem to go hand in hand. I have been delivered from it all when I thought I could never stop smoking weed. Been celibate for over 3 years, without pornography for over 2 years and without smoking weed for over a year. All praises to Jesus and his redemptive work on the cross! You will make it!! He has called you for his purpose. You shall walk in it and be blessed!
2016,17,18ish Transformation was different. I felt exposed weekly by Pastor Mike but it really started to shift more and more as time went on.
I definitely agree with you. I started watching Transformation Church in 2018 and the sermons convicted me and made me realize I was really broken and needed healing. Once Mike Todd hit mega pastor status his messages became very lukewarm.
Agreed same
@@carlab656 Same for me it was like something in my Spirit told me to remove myself from his sermons. 2018 is the year I got Baptized and I was so ignorant and thirsty to learn similar to this young lady Julia in the testimony I didn't know scripture. He was good back then, humble, honest actually really teaching in a way that we could understand. I still have my journals where I took notes on some of his sermons.
@@nc9978 I got a journal of his teachings back then.
I agree. It was more grounded then.
I watched the Crazy Faith series and the ONE sermon that helped me the most was Bri.
Mike Todd learned from Elevation, which is where I used to go. I served for years ... All the things she said is true for all these mega churches. I started out at Church by the Glades in South Florida, I went to Vous as well when I lived down there. Then when I moved, I started at Elevation. Not do it have stories. What's so sad is how blind these pastors are as to what's going on in their own churches.
I finally got to the place where I read my own Bible and realized I need to find a different style church!
Jesus said apart from me you can do nothing......we need him he don't need us God is self sufficient in himself. He does whatever he wants besides sin or tempt anything to sin.
After the Easter program he put on and allowed this year I was definitely done with transformation… had been a memeber for 5 years and God instantly spoke to my heart and was like uh uh run
Were you attending in-person or online? Just curious
That was one vulgar program And none of that blasphemous garbage said one word about the Crucifixion or the Resurrection.
Nowadays people want "church entertainment " instead of being convicted smh!! Please flee from these churches!! God bless!
Leave that for kids
The scripture she spoke of is James 5:19-20. I thank God for this young lady who is not ashamed to speak against false doctrine. We need to take heed to the warnings. I pray that God blesses her so her voice may ne heard and the lost will come out of the pit of deceit.
Praise the Lord! This is exactly what you needed to leave for. I'm going to be honest I thought she was going to say many other things but I was hoping it was about the conviction, about the receiving the word of God to be transformed! That is exactly right when you are an adult and being taught in visual childlike performances you will not be convicted not at all and you'll stay right there in your flesh! Praise the Lord that somebody gets it! Congratulations on your move your marriage and soon to be newborn❤🙏🏾
Great guest. Julia seems like a natural for this, and I would like to see her make the rounds in these RUclips streets. Praise God that she got out of that place. She described charismatic church promotion 101. I have a similar story on a smaller scale.
Absolutely!! Her story needs to be shared, I’m positive there are more
Yes, Like mine, but I expect not to share on your channel to exposed, I found someone who also exposed charismatic Teaching same as you but around near location at me but love to see her story on this one exposed about them.
@Kdubtru if you have a live giving "escape from charismania testimonies" let me know.
@@adriaanj1808 absolutely!!!
@@adriaanj1808 Cool, Loved to here your Story too. Also With Charismatic Church Promotion 101 Rule you do not know who is Actually Saved, as you have Saved and Unsaved in those Church walking together it like Unbeliever and Believer which is not good as Scripture says (that is why the Charismatic Churches are growing), I just mention but can wait to here your story.
I stopped watching Todd over 5 years ago bc I saw how false his teachings were. I pray this guy gets can on the right road. I wish this video would go viral too bc it needs to
Amen
Agreed I stopped watching him without knowing any of this.
I wonder if Michael Todd realizes how close he is to entering the lake of fire, for deceiving so many sheep, and mocking Jesus
So church has a culture. Volunteerism to move the agenda of the church forward IS church culture. Having a positive attitude IS church culture. Feeling responsible for the salvation of others IS church culture. Its not a mega church thing. People who have not grown up in the church raise eyebrows or don’t really get it. But those who have know that this is common, normal, and expected. It is church culture.
Her point wasn’t that you shouldn’t be nice.
But, 'Christ' Culture is the requirement, right? The ARC church culture is what alot of these 'new' churches are promoting
..not Christ.
Lots of different cultures. Especially if it's the music ministry
Wow I’m glad there are people out there exposing the lies.
💯
Just coming onto this. I hope her baby is healthy and all is. My sister recently had her twins last year as well. They are healthy but they live far. I have not met them yet.
I dunno why Americans love attending these mega churches. I heard of one particular African American gentleman who attended the Potter's House for two decades lamenting the fact that he had never met T.D. Jakes. Not once in 20 years
Bc they’re pretending to be Christian’s is why. If they truly were of love they wouldn’t
@@MistaJG that’s a dangerous accusation and most definitely doesn’t apply to all
Right!!!! Will the real pastors please stand up!!!
Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. 20:34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 20:36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 20:37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, 20:38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
I think thats really weird not to know your people.
That’s because they usually have cell groups with a person in charge of the group that is the pastor of the group. When there is thousands of people attending one church it is impossible for one man to have an individual relationship with that many people. The members don’t even know everyone that are members. Most of the time there are two or more services on Sundays. That is one reason why I enjoy a smaller church group. We get to know and enjoy fellowship with each other as well as with the pastor also.
It’s always at the beginning of ministry where messages are about the main thing, saving souls. I stopped watching Michael Todd last year because his sermons started looking like performances. The Bible is unfolding right in front
Of us. TD jakes, MT, Steven furnick, Joe Olsteen, pastor Lewis- all of them are false prophets and have been seduced by the fame. Christianity now a days is literally a business and good “marketing” we need to remain in prayer. God has been exposing for some time now
This channel is very informative and I appreciate this so much!!! Its so important that we all hear others out so we are not mislead for others may had been in the path of God but changed it themselves for selfish benefits and others have stuck to their path with God truly Glorifying his name!! Thank you for these videos truly 🙏🏽
Thank you!! 🙏
The part she mentioned about volunteering was something similar to the church I grew up in my whole life. If you weren't serving in the church, something was wrong with your walk. Also, if you didn't know your spiritual gifts, you weren't walking hard enough. They were big on spiritual gifts. I grew up in a non demoniational church. I was sexually assaulted in my church and treated like I was the problem and not him. Growing up there from 4 to, I wanna say 24 was horrible. I've been rocky in my faith for a long time, for more reasons than all that. I do hope one day, I find my way back. I struggle with depression a lot and mental health issues, and I was treated wrongly. For that. I was told the reason was bc I didn't have enough faith or pray hard enough. It makes me wonder at times if I ever knew Jesus at all. There's more that goes into all this. But this video reminded me of that. Thank you to this brave woman for her gentle heart and story♡
@beckyterra3493 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to offer a prayer for you that God forgives your current falling away from him. That He heals you from your sexual abuse. And that you learn of Him, his nature and the love that He has for you. Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Father, I asked that you allow Becky to enter into your courts with praise and see you as the Great Healer through your Son Christ Jesus. Let her know that grace, mercey, forgiveness and power is available to her. This we pray in Christ Jesus name, Amen.
Mike said a long time ago that he’s not a trained pastor which explains a lot
I just stopped watching, God gave me discernment about Mike. At the beginning of my faith walk, I loved transformation church! I was craving to get to know Jesus. I was so happy! Then after a while I kept seeing videos on why to stop watching transformation church. But from my perspective, I’m a big believer and not judging people, and I would go to bat for him. Calling people out, etc. I recently just got into God’s word ( the Bible) and ever since then so much discernment and even more videos were popping out about transformation church. I recently watched this past Sundays sermon and the way he would preach and the things that he would say and do made me look at him funny and not receive anything that he was saying anymore. Not even the praise and worship team moved me anymore. Because tbh the way Michael Todd speaks in church, it’s almost to the point where people are glorifying HIM, instead of Glorifyijg the Lord. And I just can’t get down with that. Mike Todd is not about to have me burning in hell
💯
Way to make our Lord proud and protect the flock, sis!
I don’t listen to Mike Todd but the Co-pastor Charles Matclef the first time I saw him something didn’t sit right with me. The things he says on instagram is so inappropriate! I don’t trust him at all.
If it doesn't line up with scripture ,its a lie
Easy to follow
I’m praying for Mike Todd and church goers that they truly come to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ
I am pleased with her honesty. She's definitely proof that these false prophets cater to the child in people: Children don't know anything about accountability and responsibility unless they're taught it. That's exactly what conviction is: Being held accountable and responsible for your behavior.
People by nature hate being told what to do in the first place and it's even worse when that childish and selfish aspect isn't curbed with discipline.
This is the age of narcissm and selfishness. It's an " What's in it for me?" world.
False prophets like Mike Todd appeal to this because he himself is like that.
He likes the power and money but no accountability and responsibility
As someone to use to attend and no longer goes,This is very interesting. I even used to attend transformation all the way back when he was just the youth pastor and it was titled “So Fly”
1. why do you expect volunteers to come up and play nice when they are at the gym to work out??!? She even said it “you can’t be happy all the time”
Then don’t expect that from the volunteers you see out in public. Like huh.
2. Why not give the name of the person who harassed you and your sister?? Why continue to protect them?
3. the situation where your sister “almost” met him. Is he just supposed to look everyone in the eye whilst he walks past them? did she even try to speak? Or just stand there and wait for him to notice her? 🤔
4. What’s wrong with everyone having a smile on their face when you show up? And volunteering??how do you expect to go to a church like that, and no expect a push of volunteerism?!?
Like..lmao!! Do yall want people to be upset when they greet you?? I’m so confused on some of yall statements. Like these people are still human.
5. Questioning him buying out a Nike store and handing out shoes is ridiculous!! Yall want him to do stuff for the community and when he provides shoes for kids it’s a problem?? Lmaaaoo
Do you know how many kids are homeless JUST in Oklahoma??
There are some valid things in this video, but some of this stuff seems nit picky and misinterpreted…
wow, she said it. Thats why so many people attend churches like "transformation" church. I'm taking this video and sharing it to my family, they too are not in the right seat.
Great discussion! Love it and thank you for sharing ❤I was always wondering what is the truth about this Church.
Praise God and glory be to him. ❤❤❤❤
Can really lead people away from the truth when transformation is more about the character of God restored in humanity
I believe Pastor Mike Todd is becoming more and more realer and raw regarding the teachings of the Bible. He's changed over the years (which should happen), and in his voice I hear confidence in God and God's word which is what most Christians need but don't have. He's doing his best way he can to get as many people drawn into the kingdom as possible, especially the younger generation which we should appreciate with all the sex education, porn, drugs, fear, anxiety and depression being impressed in the youths minds. What he says may come out strong sometimes even for me but his intentions are what I look at. People, extract truth from what he says before you get offended.
I agree. People needs to give him more grace.
I totally agree! I think people are so used to the traditional way of church that when God starts using a pastor in a new way they don't know how to take it so they immediately want to attack and say he's not truly a man of God. Not trying to compare him to Jesus but to give an example, Jesus came and was ministering to the people the non-traditional way and even on the Sabbath for which it was prohibited and they weren't used to that. That's why they didn't believe in him, thought he was a rebel and a outlaw and crucified him. We got to get out of that place of where we can't accept anything new. God works on different levels and He uses different people to minister to different people in the way that He knows they will be touched and will receive it. I have been listening to Michael Todd for years now and I can honestly say it wasn't until I started listening to him that I started being able to receive God in a way that I have never received before. I started to understand His word in a way that I never understood it before. It changed my life. I don't idolize man so I'm not trying to put Michael Todd on type of pedestal, but his obedience to the way that God wants him to speak his word touched me in a way that I had never felt before. And I was a part of my old church for over 20 years and still was not fed the way I was being fed from transformation church. It's okay if you don't feel like you're getting the message that you need from a specific church, just don't attack that Pastor, Bishop or Apostle because of it It just may not be where you need to be. So ask God to lead you where you need to be. It sounds like she is where I was at one time when I was looking for MAN to give me what only God could give me. I thought that my bishop was going to be the one to transform me inside and grow me in Christ when the truth is that only comes from Christ himself so you have to have a relationship outside of church with God in order to be able to receive the messages that God is speaking through your pastor. If she still felt like she was living in sin and could do whatever she wanted to, that was something personal within her that she needed to go before God with, not something that came from Pastor Michael Todd. That's why I always tell everybody it is so important to know the Bible not just so you can make sure that the pastor is telling the truth but so that you can be able to receive correctly the messages that they're given. I think we get so wrapped up in criticizing the church that we forget about the enemies plan to kill, steal and destroy and that he will do that by any means even causing separation from the church and will have us thinking we got good reason to when it's all a part of his plan to keep you bound. I pray that God will come in and reveal to her what's going on inside of her that needs to be healed and delivered. Because no matter what church she goes to, with her current mindset, she's going to always find reason to leave and that's what the enemy wants.
Well said
Thank you. This is exactly right and what i disagree with is “exposing” a pastor on a platform such as this because God says if you have an ought against your brother than you are to go to him and him alone Mathew 18:15-17
I understand that false Prophets must be called out but I also think it's really important that we as the body of Christ are led by the Holy Spirit when calling out leaders and our brothers and sisters! Sometimes we as Christians can be more ridiculing than the world to one another! The world has no problem judging or persecuting the church.....We should follow those called to leadership as long as we see the fruits of the spirit, once this is no longer present and evident, it's time to go! Are people coming to Christ, is the word being taught, is unconditional love exhibited,, are there outreaches from the ministry helping the community and the poor? We have to be careful that we as Christians don't assist the enemy with division and discord within the body of Christ! Praying for Pastor Mike Todd and the TC family!🙏🙏🙏
You won’t ever meet Craig Groeschel either at life church. I attended transformation when it was in north Tulsa and I loved it. I made the move to the spirit bank center and it changed drastically.
Could you email me allthingstheology@gmail.com
Yes! I loved it when it was out north and before they became famous.
The fame and fortune definitely got to their heads and changed the church culture entirely.
So do/did you stay since the move to spirit bank in Bixby. ?
Praise the Lord for discernment and godly wisdom! thanks alot for speaking out in courage.
"My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins." - James 5:19-20
I've been around a number of megachurch pastors. Psychopaths are attracted to that field. Judging by his walking past one of his members without even acknowledging her sounds like something a sociopath or psychopath would do.
So happy for this lady. God showed her the truth about Mike Todd. I listened to his earlier sermons. It was Bible based. Now… it’s more about him & not about The Lord.
Goodness I have so much to say. This interview is bias. I'm very sorry to say, but Julia you seem like a person who bought into the Man of God. You weren't attending for God. You were attending and trying to please the Man of God by works. At one point in the video you stated you never met some of the pastoral staff. I'm not sure why that was important to you but okay. |Pastor's Up Front|Also, that individual's who are up front near the Pastor are his people. In all churches the pastoral staff does have that area reserved for them. We didn't get to witness Jesus and the disciples first hand but where do you think they would have been? I'm pretty sure close to Jesus. As they are in relationship with him. |Illustration| Pastor use illustration. What was Jesus using? He never used the same method twice. Once he used mud/ spit/ his breath/ and so much more. What about God and the fig tree? What about Moses and Pharaoh? |Plagiarizing| You can't plagiarize the word of God. Myles Munroe was an inspiration. There are a lot of things said in this video. We are created in the Image of God. This video scare me as a lot of people are fans. Then get very jaded by not being able to get close to a person. He is a person. The interviewer to me is dead set on making this man out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Then Julia was a fan. I'm glad you left and I hope that you don't follow a man again. I pray that you recognize that this was you flocking to a person and not God. |Money| Mad because her sister couldn't money, but why couldn't she help? Was her sister a member of the church? |Volunteering| She felt pressured to volunteer but was put off when there was no one to be there for her? Moses could not serve everyone and his father-n-law had to advise him to set up the elders to
help. |Final Thoughts| Both of
these people still watch seemingly every week. I'm glad that you are now reading the word for yourself it was always your charge.
It’s important to meet your pastor because they are called to shepherd the body. Celebrity pastors don’t care for them and don’t get in the “low level”
The text in James that was reference LITERALLY condemns saving the best seats in the house for the “elites”
Myles munroe was a heretic.
If this video scares you it shows how much you are brainwashed in false doctrine and scripture isn’t your ultimate authority. We gave biblical reasons for why Mike Todd is problematic
Much of your critique is assuming motives of me and the guest.
@@Kdubtru This is the passage that given to refer to the church being out of order. James 2:3-4 New Living Translation (NLT)
If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor”. If the Executive Pastor of the Church is seating on the front row of the church this is the reasoning for them being out of order? She literally stated Charles and the pastoral staff are sitting at the front of the church and what she perceived to be his friends seating in special seats. So that they can Amen him. That passage of James was referring to not this as you as trying to make it seem. It was talking about giving special treatment to a rich man over a poor one due to outward appearances not because someone serves in the church.
Did not the tribe of the Israelites have individuals set in different places according to the need of the church. Everyone is to do there part.
Where in the Bible does it stated that the Pastor must meet with every single person under his spiritual authority?
In fact it states the opposite. We must be wise and careful. Moses Shepherds a large flock and he was getting burned out by the people; so he appointed elders. Numbers 11:16-17. Even the disciples had to do this.
Acts 6:1-6
Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables. Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.
If Jesus was walking this Earth you would probably be calling him a Celebrity Pastor. This is exactly what the Pharisees and Sadducees were doing. They saw large amounts of people flocking to Christ and decided in their hearts he was a false prophet and needed to be stopped. But God judges the heart and can not be fooled. In the latter part of this interview you stated jokingly I should go there but they probably won't let me in. What is your motivation? Is it to uncover a wolf in sheep's clothing. Or is it to get more content for RUclips? How many more videos do you have planned to say this man is a fake? How many do you currently have? I stumbled across this video and yes I'm troubled because the division of the body. We all must have Spiritual Discernment. Jesus told us all to test the fruit in the parable of the fig tree. If Myle Monroe and Pastor Mike weren't and aren't bearing the proper fruit. They will stand before him and give account; as we all will.
That's a terrible thing to say. Even she said that she didn't know the Bible and Jesus for herself.
She's giving a powerful testimony and you're just putting her down
Shout out to this yg lady 4 leaving that church,she did the right thing
This is an eye opener about Mike Todd and TC who I've watched online. Why I listen to God and the prompting of the Holy Spirit and one who is a true man after God's heart and not his own self lead interests.
I thought I have heard it all.. but when she said they place his family and friends in the front where the mics pick them up, "Amening" his talks.. lol. Unbelievable.
Mike, Todd is actually an evil genius! He does not present the entire play. He presents segments clips parts, because he knows that each part he present everyone that has a channel will speak about it, which will keep him relevant, which will keep him viral, which will keep money coming into his pocket. No one is talking about that. No one is looking at that big picture, I’ll give you a clip here. I’ll give you scene there. He keeps everyone wanting more. You guys got a remember bad publicity is still publicity which allows his name and his church to keep on flourishing and keeps being a topic of discussion on everyone’s channel, think about it.
Good point
Didn’t think this needs to be explained it’s obvious
@@smoothkeys2414 - Tru but I no one else was speaking about it.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT 💯
I understand where your coming from, however the TRUTH needs to be EXPOSED 😶 once the light is on it's your choice if you go or continue to the wrong way... When you know better you do better... It's kinda like dammed if you do dammed if you dnt 🤷🏾♀️
Def a good interview. Shows the importance of doing your HW on a church and its leadership before attending.
I have no clue what’s going on but I’ve seen just a couple clips here and there. I used to watch Michael Todd but then I feel like God led me to stop maybe 2 or 3 years ago.This happened with other pastors as well, usually something does end up happening maybe months or so later. Bottom line, the Holy Spirit gives us discernment and we have to yield to His leading. It’s nice and convenient to be able to just turn on a teaching and listen but first and foremost, we need to go to God and get in our word. It can’t just be fed to us. Read the Bible and ask for God to give you wisdom. I pray the best for Michael Todd.
One thing to note: His predecessor pastors had a theme of “Reverse the Curse”. Black Tulsa was bombed and destroyed in 1921. I expect him to buy up as much of Tulsa as possible in the spirit of reparations. If he were an independent business owner, this would be fine. As a church, it has be about the Gospel alone.
Oh my goodness please interview me, I was one of the first people from transformmation nation to move to Tulsa for TC and it was a DISASTER. I’m still traumatized and healing from my time there
What happened
They are telling the truth, in such a gentle way.
I never been to Transformation, but I've been to churches just like it. I don't have a church home now because I'm scared to end up at a church like that. Churches like those are kind of scary and feels more like a cult.
I pray God leads you to a solid, biblically sound church. There’s no need to fear, if you seek the Lord and desire Truth, then He will lead you to the right church family. Proverbs 3:5-6 ♥️
I watched him for a while than stopped when he began the "Crazy Faith" series. This fell on the heels of an announcement about the new 20 million building just purchased. Also, this was at the beginning of covid when people were loosing their Iives, jobs and even livelihood. I thought was the 20 million building purchased in "Crazy Faith" ? I haven't watched a sermon since just seen the viral nonsensical viral clips. He has really changed. Also, he looks and dresses very different. I remembered him saying "he wasn't called to preach " his parent asked him to pastor that church. It explains alot and his more secular evolution rather than biblical.
I went to transformation like 3 times and I liked it. But. It did feel like I was watching a Mike Todd show tho 😮. Thank you for this video fr
Some of the things she said hit harder than ANY Mike Todd sermon.
I just have to say it. Am I the only one that caught that she got married a couple months ago but is about to have a baby any day now?? 🤷🏻♀️ we all make mistakes but she doesn’t sound like she’s really living as a Christ follower. You probably won’t allow this comment because it’s “attacking” her, but Mike Todd himself is quick to apologize for his shortcomings and admit he’s not as “qualified” as other teachers. I grew up in a legalistic church and hated myself and was driven by shame. I watch Mike Todd and have so much more joy. I tithe, am careful about what I watch on tv and have quit the dating scene completely until God brings the right man to me. The church is not responsible for your maturity in Christ, you are.
She has acknowledged the sin yet she’s still right about what she said. The point is TC hinders people’s growing by preaching a false gospel.
I disagree. Saying that his props and illustrations are ridiculous is really judge mental. I do really well with illustrations and so do my children. I’m sure the Pharisees felt the same way about Jesus parables….silly stories about farming and not the law.
The interview stated more than that, dont be reductionist.
Pastors will be held accountable for the caring and growth of Jesus’ sheep. Pastors are to lead by example. Most people do not learn from the teachings of the pulpit but the life of leaders. Is that leader pointing people to Jesus and demonstrating a life devoted to Christ? So much of the church has become entertainment. The church is supposed to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
If it's not the true gospel it's wrong. Plenty of people feel good while being leas down the wrong path. Mike Todd and TC is how I was brought back to God. But the more I read the Bible the more I notice that his teachings aren't the most biblically accurate. We can't love and trust ANY man more than the word of God.
How can you tell someone they didn't pray correctly now that crazy 😮
Jesus taught His Disciples how to pray, in Luke 11:1-4. So, there is a correct way to pray.
That's classic gaslighting in these types of churches
Go on up there, brother!!!! I almost went to go see him preach but I believe God gave me a dream about him that made me disgusted. I never went.
Perhaps you should interview Pastor Michael Todd. .. 😏
I would love to
Look into actually making it happen.
@@psweetmusic we all know Mike Todd ain’t doing no interviews where he gets pressed. Don’t play
The devil loves putting on a show. If people actually read the word, they'd see right through these kind of celebrity pastors (not implying these 2 wonderful people don't) but the bible literally tells us the devil's shows up with smoke (fog machines) , darkness (dim lights in these churches), etc. - I remember cracking up laughing when he did that boat bit with the thunder and lightning 😂😂😂😂 like boy you know what, wit ya manipulative self. - God bless you all. Thank God for giving us wisdom.
No one preaches a perfect gospel except for Jesus because we are all messed up human flesh . My favorite pastor is John piper and even he makes mistakes. You can find issues with every man on earth. Mike todd is doing a fine job he is faithful to his wife and points to Christ in every message. What more do you want from him. But everyone has gotta get paid i guess this guy just makes his money off of critiques!
Reading your comment makes me want to pray for you ,because based from your comment, you are a prime candidate to be decieved....
What does that have to do with preaching a false gospel tho?
He’s not preaching a false gospel. The gospel is that Christ came to die for our sins and whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life! He preaches that! Jesus also said to preach this gospel accompanied with casting out demons and healing the sick Matthew 10:8. Are you doing that, if not then you are not following the full instructions of Christ. No one is going to preach the message you 100% want to hear even the sharpest preacher is going to leave something out. I think this is more about not liking the personality of the person preaching mixed with jealousy.
Completely agree. No one should place their faith in any pastor or rely on a pastor to make them feel good about themselves. He’s really helped me in my own personal walk and I feel like people love to use his name or face to try to gain more of a following for themselves.
Every false teacher preaches Christ crucified at some point. But they’re not telling people to REPENT and Die to themselves. They encourage people rather, to fulfill their lusts and desires and that Christ is the means to fulfilling your “wildest dreams”. Wolves in sheeps clothing are just that. They’ll preach enough gospel where they’ll get people defending them saying “look they preach Jesus died for your sins”, but they’ll completely miss the mark when it comes to things like sanctification and they’ll make up their own doctrines or believe heresies like oneness. Of course no preacher is perfect that’s not the point.
I just started attending and I’ve been convicted at every service.
Please leave. There so much false doctrine in the church
You should leave that church..that man is a false teacher
Hey I agree 💯 leave quickly don't look back I lefted church 5 years ago no regrets false pastors and bishop frist ladies great testimony omg controlling brain washed jezebel spirit I can reach god myself it's free all about money not souls trust God thanks for sharing blessings ❤️
@linda lewis I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit of God to lead you to a church with a good sincere pastor. No church will be perfect because we are all striving. Be encouraged Sis😊
Feeling convicted doesn't mean you're being led by a teacher of the word who is an expository teacher and doesn't take from or add to the word of God and Mike Todd definitely takes from and adds to the word of God. Don't be led astray because it's theatrical and he provides an awe factor. Ask God to reveal the true purpose of Todd and his church
Great interview. Thanks
Wow that is really something. I saw him on TV a while back but I didn't get anything from his teachings.
And you won't
This hits the nail on the head with these types of churches that I've been struggling with. I don't believe churches should sell anything and I also don't think pastors should profit financially from preaching.
I’ll work my job and pastor for free right
@@thebasementp0dcast Jesus didn't do it for money. As far as I know correct me if I'm wrong but preachers being paid to spread the word of God wasn't always a thing like it is today. It definitely shouldn't be a thing to where members are giving their last pennies while the preachers have million dollar homes and don't help their congregation like some do.
@@Hannahlynnhall90 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@Hannahlynnhall90 Jesus was actually supported financially by his followers. Even woman supported him
@@L.RILEYSQUATS2PEE That's true. He never collected tithes to give himself earthly riches though and I think that's what bothers my spirit is when preachers take money from the congregations tithe to buy themselves near million dollar homes when the people giving the tithes sometimes are barely making it.
I think we should all be praying for Michael Todd. I did have to stop this video in the middle of it because it felt way too heavy. What I know to be true is is that we do not have a heaven or hell to put anybody in and setting up a platform to place judgment on anyone is not Christ Like. I feel convicted even clicking on the headline.
I don’t recall saying “Mike Todd is going to hell”
What I did say is he teaches a message contrary to scripture, i don’t know where we got this idea that we shouldn’t judge, the Bible tells us to judge, John 7:24.
While serving, there should be a smile on your face. Especially as a greeter. If I went into a church and I saw people with their faces frowned up, I would not want to be there. When say demanding God, the Bible say to read Isaiah 45:11. Just because someone tells a story, it doesn’t mean it’s true. Sometimes people leave for different reasons. Be careful of what you believe because people can be upset about things and then try to make things look bad.
You think it’s okay to demand God? Isaiah 45:11 doesn’t say that
Great interview, I would love to see more people be bold and now call him out as a false teacher
Who are you to call him a false teacher?
@@victoriacox3392 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”
Matthew 7:15-20 NKJV
That’s how
Amen
Great scripture
@victoriacox3392 Since you obviously don't have that kind of discernment, don't put down people who do
I used to listen to Mike Todd, i remember downloading so many videos of his sermons. But I stopped and i don't regret having stopped listening to his sermons. Now i see him getting worse and I wonder what it will take for people to finally see Michael Todd for who he really is.
Let’s face it: It’s not easy to be a believer. In fact, Jesus told us it wouldn’t be easy. Putting all our trust and hope in God can be tough, especially when it seems like everything is going wrong. Countless Bible verses illuminate faith and the importance of trusting and hoping in God.
This is interview was good but it would’ve been interesting to understand her journey post Transformation Church and how she was led by the Holy Spirit into studying the word and developing her own personal relationship with Christ.
Sure but that wasn’t the goal.
Unfortunately, Jackie Perry requires volunteers to pay the $100 Tix to attend. You do get to be in the cheer leading section but you must pay. That was a HUGE TURN OFF !!!! I decided not to volunteer 😢
To attend what? What does tix mean
$100 for what? And what does tix mean
Bless this woman of GOD for her boldness to leave that satan lead false church!
He never said if you don’t volunteer your not being obedient to God if you felt pressured which most likely conviction that you weren’t doing what you knew you were supposed to be doing during that period of time like he said had to get rid of the fans I just strongly dislike when people talk down on pastors but be the same people doing the same thing on what they’re pointing the finger on what others are doing.
Then why are you pointing the finger, this is one hypocritical and contradictory statement
Mike Todd is as unqualified as a true pastor as I'm unqualified to be a NASA engineer
I always wondered why the McIntosh approved of him?🤔
Wow im so surprised because how he teach & preach about your sin & repentance alot!! My 13 yr old was getting valuable information about Jesus along with how wat he preached wit my other 2 pastors I watch! My pastor smoky Norfolk, and I watch Jerry flowers.. the message is the same but it is presented differently, maybe it was just her & also every pastor is not for everyone.
The Health and Prosperity belief is still in their About us section under Concrete. I saw it up to last night and started doing a comparative biblical study on the scriptures they used to validate such
I enjoyed the interview. She seems genuine about her experiences and I’m sorry for your experiences.
However, I am thankful for coming across TC because the theatrics helped me to visualise the Bible when reading it by myself now. I actually remember it better. We need to remember that MT is a human being.
Great video. I don’t watch Mike Todd. Some people I know like him but some of these claims seems like a misinterpretation of situations. Like the smile to save people claim. I wonder if the discussion was more so to make people feel more welcome and for introverts it seems forced but I need to hear more people speak on this.
However, the further I went into the video, I was like whoa. The lady was terrible to correct your prayers. Some of the things done behind the seen was horrible.
The messages he teaches seemed misinterpreted though. I need examples. I want to hear more sides.
@vavavawawawa3662 If you study your scriptures, you'll see he blatan false teachings. God is serious about His word. He event says that don't be quick to be a teacher, because they will have the greater judgement .
