Inspired by Bishop Marvin Sapp's Controversial Church Donation Tactics, this week on Pass The Mic we are unpacking church traditions that might need to be examined for 2025 and beyond. Whether its 'Preachers with Props', viral church moments, a lack of pastoral vetting, or an excess of gatekeeping, practices across all denominations are not above critique and should be interrogated as to their value in true Kingdom work.
For those that missed it: Gospel legend and bishop Marvin Sapp faced major backlash after a resurfaced sermon clip from the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World convention went viral. In the video, Sapp instructs ushers to close the church doors until each of the 1,000 attendees donates $20, aiming to raise $40,000 on the spot. He even challenges the live stream viewers to do the same and tells pastors on stage to give $100 each.
