American pentecostal/born again/charismatic/give-me-money/rapture ready Christianity continues to sink to new lows
A trailer for the controversial new reality show "So You Think You Can Preach," where hundreds of lay preachers are already clamoring for the opportunity to become "the next T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Eddie Long, Joel Osteen, or Joyce Meyer," is now making waves online with some critics dismissing it as "mockery," a "joke," "wickedness," or "vile vine."
Hundreds of would-be preachers, however, see the show as a godsend.
Less than two weeks since The Christian Post first reported that more than 1,000 lay preachers had already signed up for a chance to win $25,000, a new car and a lifetime opening at the pulpit of at least two unnamed megachurches, several of these would-be contestants reached out to this reporter [CP is not sponsoring, promoting nor producing this show] seeking to throw their hat in the ring and unleash God's call on their lives.
"I saw that you all are casting a show, 'So You Think You Can Preach.' I've been told that's my calling to be a preacher from numerous people including my father before he passed, a deacon and even an elder who is now a pastor of his own church. I've been scared and running from it ever since. I guess I would like to give it a shot and see if that is what GOD has called me to be," wrote Lawanda L. Young.
Even Modesto, California, retired deputy Michael D. Albert, who says he is already ordained and registered through the Universal Life Church, told CP that he was ready for the competition.
