Pastor Mike Todd of Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is facing heavy criticism online after clips of his recent Easter service began to circulate on social media.
The performances feature lewd women twerking and talking about how “phat” their butts are on stage, as they sang and danced to songs by popstars like Beyonce and Kesha, as fire billowed up from the stage, while a women in a white dress pretended to be nailed to a cross.
Entertainment website SK Pop said the stage lighting was ‘reminiscent of a Hollywood awards ceremony and dances that can be compared to Sam Smith’s infamous Unholy song.’
SK Pop added:
In one of their performances, the lyrics of Beyoncé’s song Diva were drastically changed. The new lyrics included: “The dragon was an angel turned into a hustla”
Replicating Beyoncé’s iconic song Formation, a Ransom performer sang- “okay demons now let’s get in formation.”
In another segment of the Ransom Easter concert, a singer could be seen wearing the internet’s favorite MSCHF Big Red Boots and singing, “I been getting to the money, everybody mad.”
In a skit, three performers were also seen discussing their derriere, with one of them saying, “your little booty matter too, friend.”
The church service also included dancers performing to Kesha’s song Die Young.
For more on Mike Todd, The South African writes:
One of the church’s leading pastors, Mike Todd, who oversees Transformation with his wife and fellow pastor, Natalie Todd, hinted to the lavish Easter service on TikTok last week.
Through his dedication to social media, Todd exemplifies the notion of the contemporary preacher. He has more than 1.3 million followers on TikTok alone.
After receiving criticism for putting spit on a churchgoer during a service, Todd made headlines last year. In a play they call Ransom, which you may read about on their Easter webpage, Transformation Church appears to have made an attempt to present something like to an alternate Easter tale during their 2023 service.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In 2023 I feel like this has become standard operating procedure for most of these megachurches. Maybe not quite as bad as this one, but I know of plenty of megachurches not that the far from me and they are putting abominable rap/rock concerts all the same.
Add this to the seeming endless reasons why God is going to destroy this once blessed country.
[11] Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. [12] Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. [13] For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. [14] Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. [15] What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. [16] The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. [17] For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. Jeremiah 11:11-17
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Satanic, vile FILTH! And they have the nerve to call themselves christians is even worse! Church buildings and professing christians are gonna get God’s judgement the harshest, whether it’s Joel Osteen, Jimmy/Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Paula White, Charles or Andy Stanley, Stephen Furtick, ALL of TBN and DayStar, and MANY MORE, and every local cult building from here to Timbuktu, God’s judgement is going to strike them the harshest!
THAT IS SATAN’S CHURCH! Fire, money, immodest dressing, CCM. Nothing holy about that!
*tsk, tsk, tsk*
for all who feel for that babel building now can see their true colors. satans children wicked.
Psalms 37:13
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Psalm 2:
4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
In the family pic, I think he is wearing leopard print shoes. He is a MK Ultra puppet.
I hope that the folk in Tulsa and surrounding area are among those heavily criticizing this wickedness, otherwise the area is asking for a severe whipping.
I wouldn’t hold my breath in these days of complacency though. Most people just wanna sit at home watch violent westerns, sports, game shows and whatever nonsense which exist under the sun, and are content with paying their pastor the ten percent tithe and singing God Bless America at the top of their lungs every Sunday. If they’re lucky they might get a sound serving of Milk with no Meat during the services, but the truly saved get tired of that diet real quick.
And don’t even get me started on how most of the babble building worshipers don’t even bother with witnessing, tracking, rebuking sin, judging wolves, and all the other stuff Christians are called to do.
You are speaking my language, Kurotron!
Please take this in the spirit I am writing this—from the loving heart of a sister in Christ to her brother in Christ:
I think you have lost your way, or are in grave danger of doing so.
You saying you can’t wait to see these people going into he lake of fire, saying good riddance to the teenagers that will burn up in the tribulation to come, that you hate these people, these devils and that God hates them, too…
I think you’ve strayed from the path and that the devil has you right where he wants you. If I am wrong I am willing to take God’s correction. I have prayed before writing to you and am coming from a place not of condemnation but of deep concern for you, the people who are watching and listening to you and those who need the gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them. The light of God shed abroad in your heart is not coming through with those statements and the near-spitting fervor your espousing them. This burdens my heart and I felt compelled to pray about it and am lovingly trying to reach out to consider my plea and pray about it to God.
In no way do I condone what is happening in that so called church service! People in the church do need correction and I am not suggesting they be coddled or pacified.
But I fear your immense anger has opened the door to Satan to devour the light within you.
Please consider John 3:16 and 3:17, Titus 3 when thinking of those teenagers. The word in Titus 3 tells us how we are to behave and interact in the world:
1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Also Romans 6, especially verse 8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
In 2 Peter 3, he tells us in verse 9 that God is waiting to save as many as possible for He wants that none should perish, and in verse 14 warns us we should be found in peace, and the last verse we are to grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Finally, the Apostle Paul, who aided in the murder of our siblings found grace and mercy in the eyes of our Lord.
Coldness towards people perishing is not the heart of God. I agree our God is Holy and do not deny that He hates sin.
But He sent Jesus to save the lost. Those teenagers are the lost. As despicable as false prophets are, on this side of judgment day, they are still contenders for conversion along with everyone else.
Please don’t let your heart be darkened by their deeds of darkness. Please don’t let your love wax cold as we are warned in Matthew 24:
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
That is my plea to you, for your sake, the sake of your flock and those that need the love of Christ and yes, the correction by the Holy Ghost.
God bless you and keep you. If I am wrong, I welcome correction in the spirit of love, the same that I come to you with.
Love,
Jennifer
Jennifer, you are incorrect for a myriad of reasons.
For starters, look at the characteristics of true repentance:
2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. [11] For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what INDIGNATION, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what REVENGE! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
You are supposed to get angry at the sins of the lost world, but even more so of those that dare to call themselves a “Christian; let alone wicked blasphemers pretending to lay on the cross!! How can you even dare to have mercy on them?
1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.
2 Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; [7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I could keep going, and going, and going. These people are EVIL to the core. They are “evil beasts.” These fake “Christians,” the strong majority of them, are far more exceedingly wicked than the lost world! And then people wonder why atheism, agnosticism, and new age, or just nothing at all are so prevalent. Most of these people are far more righteous than the “Christian” of today. I have not strayed from anything. I fear my Lord and Savior, who HATES their sin and them also, as do I. If I hated people then I would not do what I do right now, but I am also not afraid to rebuke the evil Luciferians that pervert the words of the word of the Lord and the KJB; and since the wickedness has come to the full, I pray God destroys all that refuse the truth and who drink abomination like they drink water! YOU need to examine yourself if you are actually even in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
Jeremiah 5:23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. [28] They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. [29] Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
