During one of the performances, the lyrics to Beyoncé’s song “Diva” were altered, with new lyrics like “The dragon was an angel turned into a hustla”. Another performer emulated Beyoncé’s “Formation” by singing “okay demons now let’s get in formation”. The use of such words goes against Christian principles.
Furthermore, a skit featured three performers discussing their bodies, with one saying “your little booty matter too, friend”. The service also showcased dancers performing to Kesha’s “Die Young”. All of this is considered to be inappropriate for an Easter service.

Some lady just DM’d rebuking me for posting about Mike Todd’s Easter service.
“You should’ve DM’d him.” “You’re causing division.”
If only we were so devoted and passionate to defend the truth of God’s word and share the Gospel of God with people. My goodness!

People defending Mike Todd are so funny to me because what do you mean WE took the video out of context? We are simply saying if you need to mimic the world to get their attention maybe there’s something deeply wrong with you and the gospel you’re preaching
