“I just want to acknowledge what happened yesterday when the spit hit the fan,” Todd stated. “I watched it back and it was disgusting.”
He added, “We want people to see Jesus. We want people to feel loved. We want people who are desperate to be able to find hope and I am passionate — so much so that I try to do extreme things to help people get it. And yesterday it crossed the line.”
In case you missed it, Todd, the pastor of the Transformation Church in Tulsa, is trending online after he rubbed spit into the face of his brother onstage during a sermon.
Speaking under the subject of “Receiving a vision from God might get nasty,” Todd spit in his hand twice before rubbing it on the face of his brother. In the video, members of his church are audibly heard gasping and disturbed as the event occurred.
“And this is where most people would not face Jesus anymore,” Todd said before the moment. “What most people would do would [be to] turn away.”
