St Louis Megachurch Pastor Builds and Rides Roller Coaster on Stage
Faith Church is a non-denominational ‘word of faith’ church in St. Louis, MO. Led by pastor and pastrix duo David and Nicole Crank, the 7000-member multisite is your typical “You’re-David-and-here-are seven-life-tips-to-help-you-kill-your-Goliath-of-debt” kind of church.
Crank has a long and sordid history of being unable to preach himself out of a paper bag if his life depended on it, with a lobotomized monkey with a pen taped to its hand frequently giving him a run for his money over who can write a more coherent sermon with less scripture twisting.
Because the name of the name is to entertain, during Faith Church’s September 13, 2020 sermon, Do you feel like a Roller Coaster, the Crank’s crew built a roller coaster on stage and got the worship band to croon out the Ohio Players/ Red Hot Chili Pepper’s song ‘Love Rollercoaster” while 3-foot sparklers went off.
All to the gory of God we’re sure.
Later, Crank himself would emerge riding the coaster and preaching multiple other roller coaster metaphors, about how you can’t be afraid to ride the ride of life without sticking your hands in the air, and if you’re going to ride the roller coaster of love, you can’t take your baggage with you because otherwise, you’ll lose it.
When the bible isn’t enough, nothing else is ever enough.
