But I truly understand now why the elders used to frequently tell us that we’re in the last days.pic.twitter.com/tW8XjBK1KB— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) January 17, 2022Todd then proceeded to rub his spit onto the eyes and face of a man.
TMZ said the man is his younger brother.Many in the audience were audibly shocked and said “ewwww” at the stunt.“How you just reacted, is how the people in your life will react when God is doing what it takes for the miracle,” responded Todd.Transformation Church in Tulsa describes itself as a “relevant and progressive church that changes lives” and “H.O.T: We are humble, open and transparent people of integrity.” It aims to be welcoming to a slightly younger congregation.
As such, Todd has previously made a name for himself delivering sermons on sex, love and dating. ItTodd is perhaps less rabidly anti-gay than many Evangelical preachers, although we note the church’s website still promotes a memoir by a woman who says she turned away from.
