Pastor Mike Todd Apologizes For Rubbing Spit On Man’s Face Mid Sermon

“I Apologize For My Example Being Too Extreme And Disgusting” – Mike Todd

Pastor Mike Todd made controversial headlines and became a topic of discussion online after he spat into his hand and rubbed it over a man’s face in church.

Well, he’s now apologized for the act, admitting that his example was too extreme and disgusting.

“We wanna help people. We want people to see Jesus. We want people to feel loved. We want people who are desperate to be able to find hope and I am passionate — so much so that I try to do extreme things to help people get it. And yesterday it crossed the line,” he said.

It’s never my intention to distract others from God’s Word and the message of Jesus… even with illustrations!
