- From spitting on a man’s eyes to a “worldly” Easter service to jaw-dropping comments about sexuality… the accusations against Mike Todd have sparked outrage over the past year, but are the offenses justified or is there missing context in the mix? The lead pastor of Transformation Church is ready to clear the air and takes a seat with Joni and the ladies to discuss the details of the backlash he’s faced and how he’s moving forward.

If someone comes to me and says is homosexuality or transgender wrong, am I going to say “the Bible says it is wrong”. Or am I going to say “yes it’s wrong because the Bible says it’s wrong”.
The first answer preserves my reputation with them. The second one makes it clear that I stand with and for God.
Are both responses acceptable? I’d say yes. But one takes a much clearer and stronger stance FOR God than the other.
True and it also depends on how deep you have come with Christ. As it's a journey and God changes you step by step.✌️😁
@@swatinupur8090 Yes!
I can't listen to this guy omg
@@teebee4235 it's ok🤗
Amen!
Wow I don’t believe this. this is so deceitful
Literally makes me sick
He literally is honest with his flaws. You also need to understand hes human but tries his best to do good! Who are you to throw stones are you perfect?
“If you use carnal means to attract people, you’ll use carnal means to keep them”. The WORD of God should be enough to bring people into the church, not using carnal songs in the HOUSE OF OUR GOD. Its not your church Mike. Its GOD’s church and you are just a steward. Steward it well.
Amen.
Exactly!
Well Said Sister!!
1 Peter 4:17 ~
Amen , testify to these heathens
Couldn't have said it better.
Discernment is desperately needed in the Body.
Jesus answered, “Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]. Matt 23:4 AMP
MT is the master of misleading, imo.
Please study Colossians 2:8-23.
Jeremiah 17:9
I am beyond shocked to see a table of believers defending this. It breaks my heart.
Shows you the direction that the church is going
We are definitely in the end times.....not supporting Jodi anymore.
We are in the world not of the world.Why would we use worldly ways to reach people bits Gods love that draws people to Him.
They are not believers in the true Elohim but are under a demonic spirit of deception. Leading so many astray. Judgement is coming
I wont support Daystar either and its so sad because I have loved this show for so long. This pastor is slapping Christ in the face with this message. @@elisabethlourens6626
Please can you bring Voddie Baucham and Mike Todd together to have a discussion on the show. Would be great to get some perspective.
100% I would love to see that. Think about it. Has Voddie ever been on daystar? Hmmm!!!
@@DLM6299 yes me too
@@DLM6299 Interesting. They may not want to get THAT REAL.
They won’t have that Voddie is too real. They like pulpit pimps on these church stations
Naa, that's not their narrative though. They would never do that... Because the truth... Might actually come out. Daystar is filled with "yes men"
I missed the week with the trans comment and I want to go back and watch it. Here's my issue. I've been trying to find a church near me, but they pretty much all have rainbow flags out front. The problem I have is there's no murder flag welcoming murderers or theft flags welcoming thieves. We are all sinners. We can't exclude sinners from church because we are all sinners, but we can't pick and choose either. What I've been seeing in some churches is a celebration of certain sin, instead of an acceptance with gentle pulling away from sin into righteousness. I want to find a church that simply says: All sinners are welcome. But we won't celebrate your sin. We will help you work through it as you grow closer to God. . And I know that the churches and church programs that help people turn away from these things and away from homosexuality are especially targeted. But doesn't that mean that we've pushed the devil's buttons on that issue? Doesn't that mean we're on to something and we should lean in?
Correct!
Ditto the CORRECT !very insightful and true scripture based response. I completely concur
Well said! 👏🏾 🥰 I couldn't agree more. 🙌🏾
What ppl fail to realize is the church doesn’t have perfect ppl, PERIOD! You don’t see an infidelity flag, a incest flag, a gossip flag, a hate flag flying outside any church; and the list goes on. However, these transgressions are in the church secretly and openly. We, the church, who are called by His name need to stop playing church, acting religious, and putting on a mask. Stop ostracizing and judging ppl. Allow Jesus’ light to shine in our character by embracing everyone, Jesus did. Moreover, we shouldn’t rank nor condone sin, but lead these individuals out of darkness with Jesus’ direction. The countdown to his return is near: the harvest is ripe, but the and labourers are few.
Went back and watched it. It was a great message. The "trans" part was miniscule and taken way out of context. He could have just as easily said: I don't know why we can't eat unlimited ice cream, but God decided about gluttony... I'd rather we all be able to eat Haagen Daz all day every day, but it's not what God said. He was just speaking to the feelings that come from the flesh vs God's instructions. He was making it clear that in the Kingdom, we have to set aside the desires of the flesh and follow God's instructions.
Lord God help us, because we need your true and living word. Period…❤️❤️❤️
Period !!!!!
How is it not clear when Todd said"I wish he(God)would have made it more clear" concerning homosexualality and relationships,etc.
Exactly
Maybe it was for somebody who is innocently suffering from this gender thing secretly and it must have spoken to them. Like yes God could have done that but HE made male and female and it's good. You know
It is 100% CLEAR.
God made it very clear Homosexuality is A SIN!!!!
Clear as watwr
This is why it's important to Read, Study and meditate the Bible in context for yourself, as scripture says and to be like the Bereans that would check and research the scriptures any time a person taught. The Holy Spirit's role is to teach, guide, and lead us in the scriptures and life. Listen to the Holy Spirit. I didn't hear this pastor mention the Holy Spirit. As a creative, its still important to pray and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance and wisdom on an idea to share a gospel message in a creative format to reach the lost. A Good idea isn't always a GOD idea. 💡
Watch his sermon series called The Upgrade it’s all about Holy Spirit.
@andreaakachocolatedimples5457 thanks for sharing. It's more than teaching on a subject it is discernment and wisdom.
I agree 100%
Thank your for sharing. I just did an interesting mini deep-dive on Apostle Paul and the Bereans.
GOogle: "Did the Bereans Think Paul Was a Charlatan?" by Here's the Joy blog
He literally said “creativity GOD gave me” y'all don't listen. Ready to respond because you're so perfect to the point you aren't even listening. I pray God heals y'all’s heart.
The BOTTOM LINE 1 thousand people got saved! People are ALWAYS offended. We are here to REACH people
I am sick and TIRED of some Christians tarring other people moving forward down. No church is perfect! The bottom line is people took a clip and Bash it. Because most people don't read and love the drama
YET, you’re not bringing 1 soul to CHRIST! PASTOR TODD KEEP GOING!! KEEP PREACHING!!! KEEP BEING YOUR GROWING YOU IN CHRIST!!!
GOD bless you!!! PEOPLE WATCH THE WHOLE DANG ON MESSAGES!! STOP IT acting like ya'll perfect!!!
On the day of judgement, the truth shall prevail, 1000 people may be so called saved, but of what spirit? I believe he's a false prophet.
I agree because I did the same thing. I took the wrong thing out of the message, but just like he said, were use to the traditional. PastorTodd does what others would not dream of doing, like showing you whats really happening in the real world. He's trying to reach unbelievers and transform them into believers. And obviously he's doing that with the help of the father
I can agree with the sentimentality of Mike Todd but not the approach. We still have a standard and Disney isn't it. There is a line that we shouldn't cross and the lost don't need a version of the World to spread the Gospel. Also any woman wearing leggings on a Worship Team shouldn't be on a Worship Team this only points to a bigger problem especially with leaders.
Lastly a very problematic statement that he said during Easter is that they would get as close to the line to sinning without sinning. We should be trying to get further from that line. So I'll just have to disagree here 🙏
👍🏾 agreed ! God has a standard a Plumbline Amos 7:7-8
Jesus was criticized similarly for fellow-shipping with the likes of sinners and tax collectors. Thank God Jesus was willing to walk right up to that line, and without crossing the line, He reached across and Pulled those sinners and tax collectors out of their sin and into the Kingdom. Thank God He pulled the likes of ALL of us sinners from sin into the Kingdom. But He had to come close to us and our sin to do that. He meets us where we are, and then we get to choose to Follow Him. How does a pastor save souls if he's too afraid of offending modern day pharisees to even reach those in need of salvation... See Mark 2:17
AMEN!!!!
Jesus was ministering repentance, not compromising with demonically rooted institutions to become popular. @@shehp5190
@@shehp5190 yes exactly.
The Bible is specific about homosexuality. No one shall lay down with the same sex. Be bold and witness to the lost. Remember you may never get another opportunity. God may be getting ready to punch your ticket, just be sure Jesus is your pilot.
Nope. I saw the Easter play. It was awful. And the play strayed away from the Bible so far that you couldnt even say it was about Jesus. It is time to STOP giving this mess a pass.
Remember Marcus's vision for the ministry. God's word cannot be compromised with filth, and I am not talking about the spit illustration. People pleasing sucks, that's what I feel was the main point around the table. We are not supposed to do the work of the Holy Spirit.
I agree with you 100% please read my comment
I'm black and neither him nor Tim Ross should be preaching, let alone given a national platform
Edit: Not sure why we should just accept anything from our leaders. Anyone saying the Holy Spirit told them to use profanity should not be a leader in the church. It's sad because the bar is set so low that some will follow anyone with charisma. Listen to what they are actually saying. And no, I'm not saying they'll be perfect. Study guys like Derek Prince, Lester Sumral, William Seymour, and Kenneth Hagin and you'll get a better idea of how far we've missed it as a church collectively
Agreed!!!
You must be a really perfect person
@seyifunmiolagbaju No one is perfect, but Jesus!! But I suggest you meditate on your Bible and pray for discernment.🙏
I totally agree with you! The Bible clearly states we should not be lukewarm Christians and be like the world to fit in with them instead we should be a light in the darkness to the world
Who qualified you? Should you be playing the sax? LOL
WE DO NOT NEED ANTICS TO TEACH GOD’S WORD!!!!! We only need the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD!!!!! Speak the word only!!! The WORD OF GOD is powerful enough and does the WORK!!! GOD SAID ….He spoke everything into existence!!!! There’s a beautiful song “how to reach the masses men of EVERY BIRTH for an answer JESUS gave the key…He said if I, if I be lifted up from the earth I’LL draw ALL people unto me!!!!! Young old …all people! Jesus taught in parables not using antics!!!! Please don’t misunderstand what a PARABLE is!!! LORD JESUS HELP US ALL!!!!
It's not antics it's illustration so that people can understand the word. My pastor has been using illustrations for years and it helps to better clarify what is being said.
The Word of God doesn’t need illustrations either…the Holy Spirit provides understanding of God’s Word! We must be cautious with our own interpretations and illustrations that can mislead, misguide, and misinterpret the truth of and in God’s Holy Word! If any man lack wisdom ask of God for wisdom and understanding of His Word through the Holy Spirit. We need God’s Holy Spirit to believe, understand AND follow God’s Word in Jesus name! I’m learning that Understanding comes with LIVING GOD’s WORD…meaning applying scriptures in our daily lives!!!! God is LIFE and LOVE! In Jesus name, God help us all!
I’m thinking she’s saying that We have to get back to putting the Emphasis on the Word. Jesus & the Word is One. He put his Word above his name. #WORD 🙏🏽
Say that! 🎉
I hear what Mike is saying and personally I have so many questions in my head! Firstly the generation He is trying to reach through cultural standards would be really bored by the real Jesus! They only come because of the attraction that His Church is making, stimulated but not repentant! Hypersensitive but no holiness. Emotionally manipulated but not striving to be like Christ! I wish the charismatics would stop arguing that people who call them out are “traditional and religious’ ! It will sure feel traditional and religious when people call pastors like Mike Todd to the standard of Christ! It will sure feel traditional and religious when people require holiness from Him! I am a young person and I am less impressed about gimmicks and worldly creatives in the church, give me living water so that I never thirst again! I wish Joni and the Team would validate him in his calling and tell him the truth that he doesn’t have to do all of this worldly nonsense! The church needs to be set apart from the world! We have enough secular music, we don’t need nobody recreating that into hymns!
Lastly, with the spitting, He is not Jesus! He should know better that scripture has descriptive verses and prescriptive verses! What Jesus did was descriptive not prescriptive! (bibles school basics) & no , stop assuming that Jesus would be hated if he was here, He was the creative and not worldly Rabbi! What we are seeing in Transformation is nothing like him! Young people need Jesus, the true Jesus, not this fakeness that we are seeing!
With Love, Mike Todd, needs true people who he is accountable to, who will test and teach him sound doctrine! He really did well with the relationships series, go back to the simple stuff!
”You have wearied the Lord with your words. “How have we wearied him?” you ask. You have wearied him by saying that all who do evil are good in the Lord’s sight, and he is pleased with them. You have wearied him by asking, “Where is the God of justice?”“
Malachi 2:17
This is not religion, this is love! Correction! Repent Sir!
Dear sister, I completely understand the many questions and dis-ease you and others may have with PM’s approach and reach. I didn’t always understand for myself until I came to Tulsa, OK for myself and understood the appeal that not only TC but other churches in Tulsa are aiming for being Tulsa is a town/city of many colleges and have a lot of college aged visitors and members so his approach won’t be the same of a pastor who’s 50, 60+.
😮💨😮💨😮💨 ooooweeeee idk how old you are Miss but this here is a WORD! My God my God! Some will read and miss the message other will scroll because of length but I tell you one thing if they do read they’ll leave with something! Holy Spirit breathe on us!
P R E A C H💯💯💯
Ohhhhhhh my. I truly pray that your response is read in it's entirety. This is the point!!!!! Thank you sis.
@@MsNatz ❤️❤️🙏🏿
I love that Mike was able to articulate his point strongly. I think it's easy to take things out of context. When you take things out of context, it leads us to Confusion and destruction. Those very things in context bring forth clarity and life!
Yes agree with you, seems rehearsed & articulately prepared. It’s true that his sermons leaves me more confused but more focused on Me, Myself and I.
Bro stop it .
It’s so pathetic how people like this always accuse any Christian’s who call out their sin as being “religious”. Oh no, you can’t be ‘religious’. Being ‘religious’ is the worst thing you can be to these people. No what it’s really called is obedience to Gods commands and exposing darkness to light, and calling out sin, like we are meant to. They use that blanket ‘religious spirit’ accusation to shut down anyone who dares call out their sin, and to ostracise them. Apparently anything goes with these people, just don’t be ‘religious’!
What was the sin, exactly?
AMEN AND AMEN
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 I used to like Todd, but lately, he has done and said things that do not line up with the word of God. We can not continue to believe what someone does or says to make themselves relevant if it goes against sound doctrine. God gives us wisdom and discernment. For example: - If you are saying that you wish there should be a third option with regards to Males and females that's questionable. If you have an Easter play that highlights darkness rather than light, it is questionable. We are called to test the spirits - so stop making people who do wrong feel good for what they're doing.
This is a clear example of blind leading the blind .
But God said we should be salt and light. You don't bring worldly things into the church. The church is a sacred place to me. You take the church into the world. God's Word is what's gonna carry you. Fads change -:His Word never does. I'm sorry those are my 2 cents. This saddens me but I will continue to pray for him as I make mistakes too and he has a ton of influence - I don't.
No. Its not ok to tell people..."Iwish Gods plan was different...but its not". That is not loving. The truth is loving. Rather say "Gods plan is best. I dont wish it was different. Its best". No...oh no. Im not.falling for Tods preaching. Sorry.
Yup! 👉🏽”By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.“
1 John 5:2-3 KJV
Why would you be confused about what the word says? You said you wish God would have made it easy. The word of God is very clear and His decisions about the way he wants us to live and his word will never be compromised.
Already @ 1:47 Rachel Lamb Brown says "I know his heart?!!!" WHAAAAAT?!! Are you God? But then the Holy Spirit uses Joni Lamb to rebuke her and she immediately says: "God is the only one that could look at our heart and knows what's going on!" Did anybody else peep that? Just me? Ok. Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that NO ONE can figure out. BUT I, GOD, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.
This is the main problem in churches they don’t accept people the way they are. God does the transformation not us. Mike keep bringing them to Jesus!
He’s a false prophet, The bible speaks against homosexuality, how come he doesn’t know what to think
How can he bring people to JESUS if he’s not FOLLOWING JESUS himself!!!! Scripture says, blind leading the blind and they both fall into the ditch! We can all learn more about how to stand and speak righteousness as we FOLLOW JESUS!!!!! God have mercy on us all In Jesus name!!!
@kevaughncampbell7776 , he knows the Bible speaks against homosexuality. He knows what to think about homosexuality; he actually said it, "Our opinions don't matter, God's word is the final authority."
We wrestle in the spirit with this concept because it may be close to us (this applies to any sin). What helps us overcome our opinions is our ever growing relationship with God through Jesus regardless of how we feel. That's where he is, and to be honest, that's where most of us are (pick a sin or a struggle) in our walk with Jesus.
@@keshastowe6854you need to shut up, he clearly says he doesn’t know what to think about him, he wishes he was there to ask God if there could be an exception, he literally said that….
@@deborahhollis7653, bringing people to Jesus is the first step to them following Him. Once they believe, then they must commit. Part of committing is developing a personal relationship with Him through the word. The word of God displays His character and teaches wisdom, love, etc. It IS living, fit for instruction and changes the hearts and intents of "man".
My question is, how is he not following Jesus? Pastors, just like preachers/ministers (which we all are called to be), make mistakes along the journey. Does a mistake disqualify you in ministering the gospel of Jesus to others?
The key is to learn from our mistakes quickly, and do better in our commitment to following Jesus.
I don't always agree with his approach, but I can't condemn or judge him for that. The proof is in the results. Satan ain't pointing NOBODY to Jesus, and telling them to get to know Him for themselves through the word of God.
He never released the full video of the production so no one took it "out" of context. No context was given.
Exactly, he said what he said.
The production play was not released for many purposes however people who were there in person recorded clips and posted them on social media so in all truth… you are correct yet also in error. There is definitely context to the production play however because only those who saw it in person only got the full view, there was not much context for outside people to grasp. I saw the production play in person
Not just in person but if you livestreamed the service you got to see the whole production. And I believe they livestreamed it thrice or so.. because I caught the restream Sunday night, Sunday morning was the actual livestream, and they prob streamed it again Tuesday night their Rebroadcast night... but after that if you missed it you missed it. I have my fair share of opinions seeing it all. Clips were definitely taken out of context but certain scenes could've been thought out more too and not included. I can see both sides.
The confusion on this guy after pornography is why he doesnt see the repulsive scene in the church eastwr program. He really should take another look at his fatherhood absolutely with how he asked those women to dance in front of children and men and women on a holy stage. Horrid to put on a holy platform. That is exsctky the problem thst it was on a sunday altar.
The Word will judge us. Like you will know a tree by the fruits it bare.
I honestly believe he was sincere in trying to reach the lost but he still has a responsibility to all believers. What if a babe in Christ was confused by his "presentation." I'm sure he doesn't want to be a stumbling block to those people.
If you had watched it you would have seen the presentation was crystal clear.
@@JS-gh1hoclear as muddy spit.
Yes Crystal clear Vulgarity having those women shaking or twerking on what is supposed to be Holy unto the Lord. There is enough vulgarity on the internet Todd does not need to bring into the sanctuary of the Lord. Jesus never used worldly tactics to conviction of sin. This is a purely flesh show
What most churches fail to understand is doing what Jesus did v.s hearing from him first for direction. The latter is the priority. If the acts Pastor Todd did, did not glorify God then he needs to reevaluate. Too many times too often we still depend on self (and justify it with scripture) instead of elevating to place where ppl can see Jesus and not man. Leaders need to move past a manufactured presence of God and tap into his divine power to exercise the “greater works that we have nvr seen”, John 14:12. God doesn’t want sacrifice; he wants obedience. I fail to see God in this performance. 🤷🏻♀️🫤
Absolutely correct!
Amen !!! I agree with 100 %. Please read my comment.
They can glorify God and people still be offended. If God has blessed it (and only Pastor Todd knows that) then all we can do is search our hearts for the Holy Spirit to reveal the root of the offense
But he said he wishes God made more than 2 sexes. He made out that God got it wrong. Are we going to miss that out?
You didnt listen to nothing he said. He gave an example of his OPINION and said his OPINION doesnt matter compared to the Word of God. Thats what the whole sermon was about. Are you going to also say you've never disagreed with something in the Word . If you havent then you are saying you have never sinned and we all know no one is sinless.
@@malcolmmcfarlane2495yeah it’s like they try to find any reason to hate sound more like demonic behavior than Godly behavior
Why would someone who is a Christian even have that opinion?
I found Mike because of his relationship teaching. I did like him back then. Im not sure how i feel about him now . I dont know his heart, only some of his antics. I hate that he feels he must do some of his acts to win ppl to Christ. The gospel alone should be powerful enough to convit ppl. Hes got enough fire in his preaching that he can preach the gospel and ppl not go to sleep. I feel he's to worldly. His Easter play really turned me off. He might be for some but hes not for me. He's too superficial and i need deeper things of God and hes still not there. I wish him the best and maybe one day he'll get to the point where he realizes what Jesus did for us is enough..
Bingo. "Too worldly." Is he winning people to Christ or himself? Is he winning them to Christ or a false gospel?
So just went back and watched the Easter special and watched other shows not sermons because there was no scripture absolutely disgusting! Watching Mike Todd here he sounds spiritual but so are many. Did any one even watch the Easter show?
I watched the ENTIRE thing TWICE. I defend it, but not to people who didn't really watch the whole thing. It would be foolish to try to defend something to someone who is JUDGING based off of ASSUMPTIONS rather than actual KNOWLEDGE. If you really watch the whole thing, you'll have the knowledge. There's no way you just watched it and other shows in the few minutes since this posted.
@@shehp5190 FYI I had been watching his videos this week and had seen the Easter video before, I went back to his video to make sure I was talking about the right one. All I know is church has blended in with the entertainment business and it’s more about people’s feelings than the actual gospel. Mike Todd may have a wonderful personality and loves the Lord. When I go to church I want to hear the gospel not be pulled in by theatre 🙏
@@KathyH231 There must've been people who were curious about this new teacher from Nazareth, who went to hear him teach the Torah and the Law... Only to be shocked that all he did was tell a bunch of made-up stories (parables). They must've been disgusted by the way the popular new teacher "led people astray" by teaching them that they needed a savior rather than teaching them how to perfectly follow the Law. Who do you agree with? Do the people attending that Easter pageant need a savior or do they all need to perfectly follow the Law? Pastor Todd is leading people to the Savior Jesus Christ. Then God will do a work in them. You want the gospel, like Pharisees wanted the Law. But people needed parables/stories to be led to salvation. Don't deny people that, if it's what will lead them to Jesus. The Gospel is there. It hasn't been removed. All pastors help Interpret the Bible. That's what they do.
@@shehp5190 you are all over the place!
@@KathyH231Easy to follow
🙏🙏🙏I have watched Mike Todd's sermons in the past, and they have completed changed to not offend people. JESUS never Changed himself to reach others, He spoke the word only. So many times we want to please people, but we have to change God's word to do it and that is not right. I pray that Mike Todd's life and messages start lining up with God's word, because if not, he and so many other's are going to lead people astray and that is not from God!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Discernment has disappeared😢
Totally day star invites a fake teacher and embraces him
I take him as sensationalism, shock. Just put on a production. I get a bad vibe from him and I dont like saying that. God be the judge, not me.
That may be conviction. I felt this too, so I left his church. He just seems so….off.
In the spirit of true transparency and accountability, why wasn’t his facilitating of the funeral service of known heretic and proponent of the ‘gospel of inclusion’ which clearly contradicts sound doctrine, addressed? Mike Todd paid great homage and highest regard to Bishop Carlton Pearson whom he credits with impacting him profoundly in ministry and in fact, Mike Todd even wore this preacher of unrighteousness’ shirt??? Pearson defied and contradicted that Jesus is theONLY way to heaven, he stated that NO-ONE will be sent to hell, he mocked and portrait God the Father as if He were an angry, sadistic being and ultimately , that even satan himself could be saved. This is very disturbing and quite telling. Daystar, please do your due diligence for the love of God and the many unsuspecting sheep that are being led away by such people. You cannot afford to look the other way or claim ignorance, because all of these facts are easily found via quick research, if one truly desires to know the Truth.
"By their fruits you shall know them." Inward and outward right there!
What is inside will show through your action.
Sorry!!!! That spit thing😟🥴
Am I the only one who didn’t know about any of this until I watched this ?!! 😮👀🙋🏽♀️
Great place to be sis. It's a mess on social media and in the church right now. We gotta keep praying. So much criticism and messy stuff. We aren't reaching anybody and have NO Power as the body right now! 😞
No , I didn’t know either
We’re so busy putting down our brothers and sisters. We’re all ways judging one another and destroying one another. Pray for one another and let God expose what needs to be exposed. So many not preaching the truth and compromising because they want numbers and not the Spirit of God. This young man loves God, is not ashamed to tell what he has been delivered from. Let’s stop nitpicking and pray. God bless all of you.
Amen 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What does this HOLY scripture mean to you?...
Galatians 1:6-12 New King James Version (NKJV)
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
PAUL SAID WE SHOULD JUDGE THOSE INSIDE THE CHURCH!!!!!
If it was not for the spit I would have missed so many transformative messages that I have heard from him and even the ladies that I met in one of his groups. Thanks for the controversy, it was because of it that I started watching him.
We love hearing how God has blessed you through this ministry! Thanks for watching!
To me..& a lot of this I was unaware of but I’ve been listening to Mike Todd since 2019 when I first discovered Relationship Goals-it seems the enemy is just trying to keep as many as possible from hearing a message. Mike is reaching an audience in a way that they can listen & engage. I remember being at church and falling asleep. All I heard was yelling or boring sermons and as a kid, I couldn’t wait til 1p so I can go out to eat after! His delivery is good for the younger generation whom is so easily impressionable
We are glad this was able to bless you! Thanks for watching!
There is something fundamentally wrong with saying that he’s not after the saved people on Easter. What are we supposed to do on Easter Sunday, go look for the Easter bunny in our pretty clothes? If you have to offend the saved people in order to entertain the lost people with an ungodly production, then there’s something wrong with that approach. Church should be a place where people come together United in the love of Christ, not a place of segregation.
I think we can lean into Jesus’ words for this answer. Doctors don’t come to heal healthy, well people. They come to heal sick people. We shouldn’t become worldly in trying to REACH the world, but it’s important for those in the Church to know that the entertainment we born-again, everyday churchgoers crave from church Easter isn’t what Church is about! Easter is about reaching the people who only come once a year on Easter to save their literal souls. It’s not for those who are saved, if that makes sense
@@briahenderson5805
I’m not sure what you mean by craving entertainment on Easter, because we don’t go to church to be entertained, but rather to worship the Lord and celebrate His resurrection.
The picture that comes to my mind is that of Lord Jesus, turning over the tables of the money changers in God‘s house. That leads me to believe that He expects us to uphold a certain standard in God‘s house. I really don’t believe that lowering the standard in order to make the gospel message more appealing is the way to go. Yes, we want people to be saved, but we have this tendency to believe that it’s all about numbers. True salvation does not mean going to church once a year on Easter because there is a fun show to watch and then living the rest of the year anyway you want to. The Lord is looking for true followers that are willing to turn their life around and live for Him every day because of what He did for us. I think the strongest testimony we can offer to unbelievers is our own example of living every day life, Easter or any regular weekday for the Lord, without compromising anything.
This is my first time watching Daystar and I am loving Joni. She keeps saying "I know that you believe the word of God." She keeps pointing Michael back to the scriptures.
She shouldn't have to because he doesn't know the scriptures
I’m disappointed with Daystar
He chose the right platform. A bunch of Eve's to question him. SMH. Any woman in charge of authority is scary. He trust his thinking more than God's. Lean not on your own understanding. I bet he has a lot of yes people around him.
We don't change people, the LORD GOD does the work in each and every one of us. I appreciate that he is coming to the table and sharing his heart and love for the lost. I pray that we are not found passing judgment that only God can.
No we can't change people, and God does change us, but he doesn't force us to change, we have to want to change and that only comes through us allowing the Holy Spirit to change us!🙏🙏
AMEN a place of surrender, it's definitely different for each of us and only our Heavenly Father knows.
Walk in the Spirit brother and all this mess that follows you will be no more - nuff said!
We don't 're'present God. We represent him. Just introduce him to people
I’m very disappointed he’s being glorifed on your show, he doesn’t deserve a minute.
Did they have to replay the spitting video, that is beyond disgusting. He likes the dramatic, he didn't need to spit to get the message across? Jesus was healing people not putting on a performance. Church is just theatrics now. Using the world to sell Christianity. Why do they think they need to sell God?
This is why Christian’s get the bad rap of being so critical and judgemental. So many judging how another is presenting the gospel. How are you sharing? How many have you been a part of their salvation? He said over 1,000 were saved that Easter Sunday that he KNOWS of. Let’s work on how God wants US to share the gospel. And not be so critical of the way others are sharing.
Thank you
To say 'I wish it was different ..." when it comes to God's word is to saying don't agree but it his policy.
When we don't preach repentance, without this, we are not preaching the gospel. I haven't seen your show, but just listening causes me concern. Before I say anything else, I will watch all the videos. Should be saying God brought a "x" amount of people to him because only the Holy Spirit can soften the hearts of man. I will be praying for truth 🙏. I believe the doors should be open for everyone but we have a responsibility to preach against sin, all sin. When we don't preach sin it's not the gospel message. What I have seen with my own eyes, in the same spirit filled church was that sinful people, I'll say it this way, would get angry and get up and leave. Yes God meets people where they are but the must repent and turn from sin. All of us have that responsibility. We need to be right with God.
They cannot repent and turn from sin unless they get a visitation from the Lord and hv an encounter.
How can they repent when they have no idea what to repent about.
That's what he said.
I think that he says something in the thousands came to Christ because of his illustration on Easter. He’s also talked about, in his other sermons, that the Lord has called him to lose weight and adjust his sermons to reach actors, athletes etc hi would never listen to Daystar, TD JAKES or whomever because they aren’t as accessible to their background😊
I watched the Easter drama and it was so powerful, I loved it and was mind blown by the creativity and clear REDEMPTION story of Jesus Christ!
I don’t listen to secular music so I didn’t know of the beat from famous artists or whatever. Even so, it was really awesome!…definitely not traditional…just FRESH!
God bless you and keep you!🙏🏾
I'm glad that it was an enjoyable and you understood the MAIN message behind the show!
I understand his heart. God says man looks at the outer but God looks at the condition of the heart. This man has one of the purest hearts I have ever seen as a pastor. I pray that God keeps him strong and bold as he does what God commands us to do and that is to go in all the world and preach the good news.
God says all our heart is wicked. Shame on you Joni
This man showed you what is in his heart , with all of this wicked stuff he is doing... And the people that follow him are showing their true heart by accepting this FOOLISHNESS... EVERY TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT.,.
@Keshia Amen!
I agree completely. So well said
You've got to be kidding me? The Bible "The Word Of God" Can not be more clearer. Sin is sin, no matter what. If Jesus spat, we can not compare ourselves with Jesus! We are not worthy! It's blasphemous. All sin is sin to God. But in the end, as Christians we should pray for him a d all false prophet.
I'm not sure how to take this conversation.? There has to be a better way to bring people to Christ. Not sure how I feel about this pastor & that Joni brought him on.
Mike Todd, people who love God, know the truth- that you are doing Gods will. I do therapy (mental health, marriage and family and etc.). One of my clients was going threw a lot. I talk to all my client's about the One who changed my life. Long story short- the Lord saved her, and she was on fire for the Lord. HE delivered her from certain things. One of the people she started listening to was Michael Todd.... we are at a time where the devil is coming against us all. You would think we all would stick together- but i see church folks throwing the stones at each other??? Nutty, but its written. I pray that the Lord helps us to focus on Him and see the truth about whats going on. It's the enemy... Love God. Love people!
People need to go to God and ask about what God’s heart is about Mike Todd instead of all the criticism.. it’s not easy preaching the gospel so if your not doing it HUSH. Keep preaching the word PASTOR MIKE TODD
The spirit of defense smh God didn’t ask us to water down the story’s of the Bible if a person doesn’t want to come to Christ that’s on them because we’re called to show love and TELL THEM THE STORY. Too much watering down God is not pleased.
I appreciate this segment and the opportunity for Pastor Mike to provide clarification for these controversies. I have followed Transformation Church for over 5 years, and I have personally experienced transformation in my life because of this ministry. Thank you for allowing him to share his heart and the truth behind what this ministry is really all about. God bless you all.
Get out of that church!!
@@jt3409 she wont, too in love with the "show".
@@jt3409 you can't order people like that. Be polite. Talk like a Christian.
@@kendrephillips8668 😂 You should come to transformation. we welcome all the haters 😂 hope to see you soon.
@@designerme777 thanks, but l'll pass. Rather spend time at a church that would actually help TRANSFORM me. Be blessed.
I appreciate Joni allowing Ps Mike to come up and share his story. His sermon illustrations are somewhat controversial and non-conventional (sometimes, I've gotten surprised) HOWEVER, you cannot deny his impact as a minister on the Millennial and Gen Z generation. His ministry has definitely changed my life and so for that, i am grateful. 🙏🏼
@@theLionandtheLamb1 correct. With impact comes great responsibility.
Hi dear, just want to ask what you mean by impact?
If you're winning people yo a false gospel and a false Christ, you're a deceiver.
2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Thank you Joni. I listen to Mike Todd all the time he reads the bible and dishes it out with grace. If you are really a born again christian, consult God before you criticize another christian. Do not join the devil's ministry "the accuser of the brethren". Be careful God is seeing everyone of us.!!!.
Thanks for watching Paula!
That’s good!!! Don’t join the devils ministry!!! Thks!!
Lord help the fools. Read1 Corinthians 5, you obviously don’t know your Word outside what a blasphemer tells you. Please delete your reply, it’s showing your ignorance
Jesus never taught to abstain from judgment. He warned against being a hypocrite.”when you see a brother or sister in Christ in sin, you need to call it out. “But before you call sin out in another, you better do some self-evaluation to see if there is any sin present in your life.” That’s the meaning.
Boy thats a lot of charisma.
Distractions
He flowed so well in this interview, and spoke like a teacher. When will he see that THIS is where he's most effective..
He needs to give up his "cheekiness.." He can entertain without distracting from his central message. He needs to learn that.
That Easter performance was bizarre and borderline blasphemous. The best response is to admit that he was wrong and and state that he will never do something like that again. I hope that's what he covered in this video.
Did you get a chance to see the entire production and not just snippets?
Ok so he is reaching the youth but with what type of message? Gods word is not “traditional “ it is the same and never changes. The consequences of such drastic personal interpretation is a lost flock with no solid foundation to stand upon.
21 minutes hit my heart to point of tears! We Thank God for this platform and Pastor Mike Todd! We are praying for you, your family and your Church! ♥️♥️♥️
We love hearing how this blessed you Kamilah! Thanks for watching!
@@daystar mike todd doesn't know the scriptures
@@teebee4235he's not called by God at all...
Seriously?
I am new to christ, and i was saved by watching Mike Todd. I have been to many churches, and the pastors have done sinful things... i left the church because of that. Eddie long, bishop jakes, small and large chuches. Dollar church in atlanta. I've been to them all. But what i like about Mike Todd is that it uses the parable methodology way of teaching. You have to know his history to his way into the gospel to understand his method of teaching. He breaks down the scripture in a visual way. I am a visual learner. I can read all day and will sometimes not get it. When i am shown, i learn better. Now, he may still be a baby pastor. He hasn't been at it that long. As long as some others. BUT he is winning souls. I had a bible and rarley touched it until i started to listen to Mike Todd. He said it's the ORDER of God. And to be in order, you must FIRST have a relationship and intimacy with God. BEFORE anything else. Now, if you're more mature in christ, then he isn't your leader. But it's not of God to condemn him because he's not to your standards or way of teachings. As he has led so many to christ. I stayed away from christians because they had this im better than you, and i know god so deep attitude and very judgemental as i am seeing in these comments. Which pushes sinners away from the church cause who wants to be around snoody and clearly cellophane people of God. That uses scripture to justify judgmental comments of people. I say all that to say. If it's not for you, move on. Bite your tongue and find a leader that best suits your level of holiness!
I love Mike man I can’t believe some of the comments
In John 9, Jesus spits on the ground and makes clay to put in a blind man's eyes. But, in Mark 7 and Mark 8, we see Jesus spit but apply it differently than in John 9. In both of those accounts, Jesus removed the person from the crowd and town before spitting directly on his eyes (the blind man) and spitting and touching his tongue (death/speech impediment man). This preacher did it in public with many people viewing and that caused a major backlash. It is important to keep scripture in context or you will "CON" the people out of the text. Study the word of God for yourselves people (II Timothy 2:15). It helps us to avoid the "spirit of error" (I John 4:6) and enables us to spot it when we see it. Blessings!
I used to attend Jamal Byant, and I fell into the style of thinking I could be a preacher. 'Charismatically' the verbiage, connecting of the words, grabing your attention and keeping it. I thought of doing a ministry, a ministry that focus on Christ and His word, until I realized I needed Christ and His word. No longer continuing, because it is better to be absent in the sight of men, and alone with Christ, than in the sight of men and far from Him. In my opinion . It;s one thing to be a Pastor of a church, it's another thing to be charismatic teacher of your own ministry, anyone can do the latter. Only by The Holy Spirit can you do the Primary, and if you can't, then Give it to God and let Him lead you & the flock that followed you ..... Because the amount of Jewlery, money & suits the world ( or ministry ) gives you, can't take any of us a step closer to Christ. The love of God is priceless
He never uses the Bible to defend his actions.....
I usually appreciate Daystar.
This is the most upsetting show of theirs as well as with table talk with Joni *as much as your daughter might appreciate, and has been led by his teaching.
He’s done too many unethical and disturbing things,
That does NOT Show REVERENCE to Our Holy God
HOW are you Missing this
We DON’T NEED ENTERTAINMENT in the CHURCH
We ONLY NEED THE HOLY WORD
Please do not support and defend what this man is doing wrong. It is irreverent.
I have the same Holy Spirit leading me and I know what’s wrong when it’s wrong and this is not about being critical but we have to call it as it is!
I challenge you, Daystar
Would you please bring this, before a respected pastor,
such as Jack Hibbs, and ask his personal opinion based on Biblical Teaching after viewing a few of these controversial messages
God help us. 😢 Hosea4:6
Don't be deceived. This is grievous on so many levels.
Charles Spurgeon said "A time will come when instead of Shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats." 🤔
1 Corinthians 5 9I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-not even to eat with such a person.
12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
Basically we're the problem, we don't understand his vision.
So -- I haven't seen the Easter production; I've only heard about it. Having said that, Mike Todd just said (in this video) that when Jesus told his stories/parables, He would use things that were happening in that day and were "current" to that culture. I agree with Pastor Todd -- that is true.
However -- even though Jesus used things in His stories/parables that fit "that day" -- as best I can recall, I don't remember Christ using ANYTHING that was: "lewd, degrading, illicit, or immoral". So, since Mike Todd is comparing what he did to what Christ had and would have done, Mike Todd has set a "standard" by which we can COMPARE him too!
So -- NOW, the question is: By the standard in which Mike Todd (himself) has set, did the Easter play he put on, was it: "lewd, degrading, illicit, or immoral"?? And if so, WHERE and/or WHAT story -- in the BIBLE -- did Jesus use that also contained these SAME elements??
In other words, what story or parable did Jesus (Himself) tell that by that day and today's standard would be construed or considered as either: "lewd, degrading, illicit, and/or immoral"?? Remember, there was and would have been "lewd, illicit, and immoral" behavior in that day! The question is: Did Jesus (Himself) use ANY OF IT to convey his messages or any of His stories or parables that He told??
Here's the deal: If we can't FIND or produce a story or parable that Jesus TOLD, where he used "lewdness, degrading, "illicit" and/or "immoral" behaviors in HIS stories, then Pastor Mike Todd CANNOT justify what he did based on the scriptures!
I just ran through and read all the parables and stories that Jesus told that I could find -- and guess what?? Not ONE OF THEM contained ANYTHING that was: "lewd, degrading, illicit, or immoral"....🤷♀🤷♀
Can anybody show where Jesus told a story or a parable that contained: "lewd, illicit, degrading, or immoral" behaviors??
lewd, NO ilicit, NO degrading YES, IMMORAL yeah definitely...there are "bad guys" in Jesus's parables.
@@hiptoalieu Oh, yeah?? The comment says "SHOW ME" -- point them out. What story and/or what parable did "Jesus" HIMSELF tell that was -- according to "you" -- degrading and IMMORAL? There was NO MENTION of "bad guys" in my comment. I spelled out CLEARLY what's in question here.
"How readest" Thou?? Present your case -- with FACTS, of course...
@@hiptoalieu "Where" are your scriptures to support your claim?? Don't tell me you have no Word to "back up" your contradiction to my statement...🤔🤔
I’m not going to completely slander or stop following someone because I disagree with a single statement they made that was not well received. Cut off culture is crazy
Thanks for watching! We pray that Daystar can continue to be a blessing to you!
Thank you, Joni, for giving Pastor Mike Todd this platform to share his heart. My son's didn't pay much attention to other pastors but they lean in and listen to Pastor Mike sermons. He brings the Word of God in a way that this millennial generation will grab hold of it. His messages are transformational.
God's word is timeless. It's usually the flesh that responds to the likes of Mike Todd. False teachers mislead you in very sneaky ways.
We're glad you enjoyed the show! We pray Daystar can continue to be a blessing to you!
YESZSZSZSZSZSZ
Mike is a motivational speaker definitely not preaching God’s word.
😂 You sound ignorant. You obviously don’t know the Word of God or have discernment to know what Mike Todd is preaching is against the Word. Sad. Then you invited you child to hear this mess???? Irresponsible behavior
And it’s that loss of connection that Michael spoke of that is causing people to attack him! God bless you son, you are amazing!
How disgusting to spit on someone's face. Disgusting
This was very good. Very fare and I appreciate how this was clarified. I love the tone & heart of all speaking today -with kindness , calmness , depth and understanding .Beautiful . Thankful
Pastors have the responsibility to preach n teach the word of God ONLY...not opinions, theories, or thoughts "in context" sheesh!
This man is very clear with what he preaches WHILE he is preaching. He explained himself and the effect of what he did with the spit DURING the sermon, he explained himself in the message about the your opinions not mattering when it comes to the word of God. It's y'all in these comments that are the ones choosing to not hear God through him. Y'all better watch your mouth and ask God to reveal HIS heart to you. Just like he said, if Jesus was doing what he did back then today, y'all would HATE him. Get to know the real Jesus y'all. These comments are ridiculous.
Whether you like him or not, like what he did or not... you gotta love his heart and vision. He's right, if Jesus was here today doing what He did in the Bible days NO ONE WOULD LIKE JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This ungodly pastor should
be lock in Jail for deceived people
Something is wrong in Todd’s eyes, it’s coming out slowly. I pray that puts his house in order
Church is for The Church. The Church is the People of GOD, those who have put their faith and trust in JESUS CHRIST as savior, lord, master, king, GOD. Not those who haven't. This is the misconception. Read about the Tabernacle. Outer court=lost. Door=JESUS CHRIST into the inner court, Holy of Holies. Many entered the Doors of a Church ⛪️ Building but didn't enter into the Door of CHRIST.
You are right, Joni. God knows our heart. Most of the time, we deceive ourselves by thinking that what we think we know what's in our hearts is in line with what God sees in our hearts. Remember, God said what we think is not what He thinks. Please repent, you and your girls and your friends who can not discetn that you are misleading them and the world. Consequences are high Joni. Repent before it's too late. And stop saying people are judging. To judge someone is to say "you are evel". It is very different from rebuke that says, " What you are doing is evil." We are rebuking you, Joni. We are not judging you.
As somebody who not only attended this church in person, but served in it and never met the pastor, that says a lot about the church. He’s a celebrity who is a charmer and a motivational speaker. Off the cameras, this man will walk right past you without a smile or even eye contact if you’re not a part of his circle. I don’t expect perfection from anyone but at least be real, like you claim to be on the screens, Mike Todd.
this is the problem!!!! we don't tell the truth; they should've told him that what he is doing is wrong. The word of God is sooo powerful and can change anyone, so you don't need a show or try to entertain the masses. These women are wrong for agreeing with him and not telling him the truth and keeping him blind. shame on them. He is wrong and someone needs to tell him.
Thank you for giving this man of God an opportunity to express himself. 🙏🏼 much appreciated

If a pastor is not teaching to keep the commandments that will lead to eternal life, everything else (including statements from others who “know his heart”) does not matter. It’s all vanity. Beware of false prophets. Fear God & keep His commandments.
”And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.“
1 John 2:3-5 KJV
The word of God is light. Psalm 119:130 The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand-NLT. The word in itself has power to change. We can't use the world's way to win souls. If you need theatrics to bring people to Christ, will you need the same theatrics to keep them there? The power of the church is in modelling a transformed life. The world is hurting, lost, and darkened, that is the reality- it needs different not the same things they are feeding in the world. Otherwise, we just have lukewarm people in church who are okay with a lot of things.
I just watched like 5 minutes of that Easter play and it was sacrilegious...period! God does not need worldly methods to convey His Gospel. That was too much!
God is always clear about how we should live our lives if we want to go to heaven or hell.
Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
If Jesus was alive today, he would not be a movie Director. He would actually travel from place to place to place out in the wilderness and the world not in the building so that there is no capacity limit and he would tell parables you all are not doing that, the disciples were even going from place to place and telling the story. Never once has Jesus use mainstream things to tell a story essentially he’s not picking out no secular songs to tell a story..
