In 2019, Joel Osteen, one of the modern-day princes of the Word of Faith prosperity gospel movement, was seen at Lady Gaga’s pride celebration at Apollo Theater on Monday night. The New York Daily News reports,
Poehler wasn’t the only heavy hitter in the crowd. From Alaska Thunderf–k, a drag performer who won Season 2 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” to the controversial televangelist and anti-LGBTQ pastor Joel Osteen, the event drew an eclectic mix of fans, industry insiders and celebrities, from the movies (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas), the music universe (Clive Davis, Adam Lambert), the fashion world (Alexander Wang), television (John Oliver, Camila Mendes) and the America’s gay Royal couple and Harlem residents Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka.
Osteen’s presence was curious, because Gaga has championed LGBTQ causes.
Lady Gaga is known for her risque performances and lack of modest attire not to mention her obsession with pushing the LGBTQ agenda. Being that Osteen is a charlatan who has been given over to the lusts of this world and bilks millions of people for every dime they have, it comes as no surprise that he and his wife, Victoria, would immerse themselves in the culture of demonic influence, sex, and greed.
But if you thought you had to go to Lakewood Church to reach the deepest depths of worldliness, think again. All you have to do is visit your neighborhood SBC megachurch, and you’re likely to find the same thing. In fact, at Church by the Glades, a Florida SBC megachurch that we’ve reported on numerous times, is bringing Lady Gaga right into the worship service.
This Sunday, this church worshiped to a cover performance of Lady Gaga’s song, Shallow. The song is from the movie A Star is Born and is performed with Bradley Cooper. Supposedly, it is about searching for “authenticity” and “depth” in a superficial world. Well, we know that the Bible has absolutely nothing to say about this, so it makes sense to seek out Lady Gaga’s advice, right?
Here’s a clip of the performance.
