Good ol Pastor Gluefoot, one of the original Kenosha Avengers. What a life he leads, putting one gluefoot in front of the other in whatever direction gets him the most attention.
Preachers engaging in social activism is nothing new. But endorsing specific candidates is and likely to be divisive.
Beware of false prophets! You will know them by their fruits. This one is rotten!
For Sure I will Pray he repents and becomes a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ if he doesn’t turn he will burn 😓
He looks like a fruit.
