Steven Furtick Wears 2 Thousand-Dollar Sweater During Easter Sermon
Disntr ^ | April 10, 2024 | staff

If there has been a more blatant example of Matthew 19:24 being played out in modern times than the Furtick family, I’ve not seen it. Jesus’s words were clear, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

It’s one thing to cover your expenses, and there’s nothing wrong with earning a living in ministry. But this isn’t ministry, it’s charlatanry, and when you’re bilking your followers for millions of dollars by preaching a false, ear-tickling gospel, one must ask who are what you really serve: God or Mammon?

But if you’ve been wondering where all that money he’s bilking from his followers is going, just look at his style. Heard of the Instagram page, Preachers n’ Sneakers? Well, this is Preachers n’ Sweaters—2,000-dollar sweaters, to be exact.

During his Easter sermon, our friends at Protestia pointed out that Furtick essentially preached himself into the resurrection narrative, “where His grave represents YOUR depression and failure, and Galilee represents a better life YOU want to live.” We call that narcigesis—narcisistic eisegesis.

And he does this while wearing a $1,950 Neiman Marcus sweater.

This hurts the cause, your words and deeds should match, besides, his clothes look stupid.

It’s too big for him. It looks ridiculous.

It should be smaller and worn by a well-endowed lady.

There are many humble and selfless preachers that are servants. There are also many who are not. I am not willing to test these waters looking for an honest man in a faithful congregation. I have better things to do and that is why I am not a part of any organized religion’s assembly.

“Sweaters aren’t generally a good look for most men. Maybe if you’re an old school sea captain...”

I’m guessing you haven’t been to Canada. Sweaters are ubiquitous. Other northern climes as well.

“Anyone who would pay two thousand dollars for a sweater is a moron.”

In this case it isn’t earned money, it’s other peoples’ donated money. Even worse

Manatees, dugongs, and sea-cows are all offended by the comparison to Lizzo. Whales likely are as well ...

The sweater not only is pink; the model in the NeimanMarcus ad has man boobs.

Furtick was also mesmerized by the word, “holey.” Unfortunately, he failed his spelling tests in school.

She could craft a few and sell them for that price!
