Oklahoma-based pastorMichael Toddhas responded to his viral church sermon, where he rubbed his spit on a churchgoer during his service.
In a video posted to social media, the Tulsa, Oklahoma pastor said, "I just want to acknowledge what happened yesterday when the spit hit the fan. I watched it back and it was disgusting. Like, that was gross. I want to validate everybody’s feelings."
He captioned his IG post, "It’s never my intention to distract others from God’s Word and the message of Jesus… even with illustrations! I apologize for my example being too extreme and disgusting! I Love Everybody 🧡"
In the now-viral video from the sermon, Todd said, "God is saying can you physically and spiritually and emotionally be able to stand when getting the vision or receiving it might get nasty."
After putting spit in his hand and smearing it on the man's face, Todd continued, "That man allowed me to put my spit on him, he could’ve fought me. And this is my real little brother for all of you saying, ‘I’ll never go to that church.'"
Michael Todd is the pastor at Transformation Church.
