Pastor Mike Todd of the Transformation Church has been growing in popularity at an alarming rate, despite his repulsive and controversial behavior. Last year, Todd made headlines for turning tithing into a million-dollar lottery, using his congregants as nothing more than pawns in his sick game. And just a few weeks ago, Todd made headlines again for spitting in his hands and rubbing them all over a congregant’s face during a so-called “sermon.” It’s clear that Todd cares more about shock value and self-promotion than he does about spreading the teachings of the Bible.
In another “sermon” titled “Cuffed To The Cuddle,” Todd decided to demonstrate his point by jumping into bed with a mannequin and simulating inappropriate physical intimacy in front of the entire church. This was a cringeworthy and depraved moment that no one in the audience will soon forget. And let’s not forget the time Todd showed up to preach a sermon wearing a t-shirt with a picture of his wife in a bikini, clearly putting his own ego ahead of his faith and he’s also argued that you can go to gay bars and still be a Christian.
But now, in a really wild “sermon” illustration, Todd starts jumping and doing somersaults on a trampoline while explaining that you need to “stand on God’s word” in order to go “higher.” How stupid that so many people consider this literal circus clown a pastor.
