The pastor of a Pentecostal church in Missouri berated his congregation for not buying him a luxury watch in a clip from his Sunday sermon that’s gone viral.
“Let me kick down the door and talk to my cheap sons and daughters,” said Pastor Carlton Funderburke on August 7. “You can buy a Movado watch in Sam’s, and y’all know I asked for one last year. Here it is the whole way in August, I still ain’t got it.”
Funderburke, founding senior pastor of Church at the Well in Kansas City, further tells his congregants: “This is how I know you’re still poor, broke, busted, and disgusted—because of how you been honoring me. I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money?”
The one-minute video clip from his Sunday message, first released last week on TikTok by the Kansas City Defender, has accumulated over a million views on various platforms.
