![]() He believes that the way to do it is to not want success. The church was excelling, but Todd realized that he needed to focus more on purpose and his relationship with Christ than potential. ![]() He noted that God wanted him to stride, meaning, “walk in long decisive steps in an intentional direction.” It was a moment where God challenged me to be obedient and do less,” he remembered. ![]() There was a transition that happened for Todd and the Transformation Church. “I always try to figure out how long they have been in the darkroom,’’ he said to emphasize the point that there should be a development process before one’s success. The pastor is often suspicious of those who are an overnight success. “The darkroom is where God develops your character and the darkroom is where God keeps working those things out of you where you can still be used on the platform, but know you are nasty behind the scenes,” he revealed. The Relationship Goals bestselling author realized that the Holy Spirit was working on Todd’s relationship with God and fixing things in his heart so that he could be elevated. “There was a divine grace that came over my life on February 1, 2015, when me and my wife stepped into that role we stepped in knowing that we didn’t know anything except God was with us,” Todd realized.Īt the time, the congregation had about 300 members and his sermons were only receiving 100 views on Youtube. Todd declined the offer at first and recalled saying, “I don’t even like people that much.’’ He reconsidered after discovering it was a five-year plan. In September 2014, the Pastor at the time, Gary Mcintosh, informed Toddl that he would become the lead pastor of the church because Mcintosh believed that he had the vision for where the congregation was headed. ![]() Todd confessed that he never wanted to be the pastor of Transformation Church. Before becoming the pastor of Transformation Church, Todd served as the sound man, the youth pastor, and then the main pastor. It is strange behavior for a pastor to be doing- but then again Todd was disqualified from being a pastor a long time ago.Senior pastor of Transformation Church, Michael Toddm sat down with Matt and Laurie Crouch on TBN’s show “Praise” to talk about his journey in leadership. Last year during his Let God Rewrite Your List – Modern Romance series, Todd preached a sermon in a shirt featuring his wife wearing a strapless, low-cut dress that might generously be described as immodest, giving the 150,000 people watching his sermons an eyeful. Rather, this demonstrates a pattern of behavior of wanting to exhibit his wife. Oh my God.Īt the time we thought it was a one-off, but apparently it wasn’t the first time. ‘How’s a pastor gonna get up there tempting everybody?’īut if you go on Forever 21, right now, your daughter has on a shirt with somebody they don’t know, in a bathing suit right now, and you- I love her and she wears bathing suits. They will be mad because I had a picture of my wife on my shirt in a bathing suit. People will comment good things, people will comment bad things. Today, there’ll be comments about the sermon. ![]() Todd explained his justification for wearing the outfit, incredulous that these prudes would dare be offended by his shirt. He would later have ‘mean comments’ overlayed across his stream, reinforcing his point (the pop-ups are part of the church feed) that he should just ignore the comments. He’s also known for preaching some good old-fashioned modalism, giving the world perhaps the grossest illustration in church after he snorted and then hocked a loogie full of spit and snot into his hand and rubbed it in another man’s face and claiming his church had 75k salvations in the last 18 monthsĪ month ago, as part of his sermon illustration, he wore a shirt of his wife in a bathing suit with the caption ‘Hot Girl Summer,’ giving the congregation and the hundreds of thousands of people who stream his service an upfront look at her in a two-piece. In the last two years, he’s given away $3,500,000 in houses, cash, and cars, spent $65,000 to buy 168 pairs of shoes, gave $600,000 in “reparations,” and purchased $66,000,000 in real estate. He is known for crowd surfing during his church’s worship service and spending a lot of money. Pastor Michael Todd leads Transformation Church. ![]()
