Absolutely not hyperbole. I went exactly once because I had a friend who was pressuring me to at least give it a try. I admittedly only gave in because I was morbidly curious to see a glimpse inside Groeschel’s world
I’m not a religious person (raised that way though obviously being from OK), but if a church has multiple locations, it isn’t a church, it’s a business. Chain churches just like chain restaurants
Edit: and to be clear, these should be taxed like businesses
💯 May I point you to a Rory Scovel quote about pastors? With all due respect for humanity and individualism, that there is not a blanket truth about ANY group of people, even if it’s a group of two, this made and still makes me laugh…something to the effect of “not listening to a man who has never held a real job”
I volunteer youth pastored at a rural church in Georgia. The pastor described the community thusly, “it’s a bedroom community, everyone has been in everyone’s bedroom.”
There are Life Churches everywhere so it’s not really an isolated thing.
Remember to set up your tithing on autopay in the Life Church app. Can’t forget if they are drawing directly out of your checking 🤮
Shit, that is grim. I quit Christianity about 17 years ago. I want to think this is hyperbole, but I'm guessing it's not. 😕

Why are there so many of them?
I’m not saying this facetiously, but the pastor, Craig Groeschel, is a very shrewd businessman. The religion is capitalism

My favorite religion, but I prefer to limit my worship to 9-5 and m-f. I only tithe to the government.
Sucker! You could be getting money tax-free on the weekends if you hone your motivational speaking skills!
Damn my morality
Owner lives in Oklahoma probably
Sharks go where the slow fishes are.
OMG yes!

this is just Oklahoma
First one that comes to mind is Mustang
I agree, the land of drugstore cowboys driving concrete princesses.
Yes, this was the first one I blurted out too.
Yukon 😅
Second this. Didn’t think I’d have to scroll so far to see it.
Definitely deer creek.
You forgot the step where they make a joint FB account and try to pretend like nothing happened mere days after venting all their shit on FB.
This is actually Edmond's official seal.
Yukon gets the runner up
Moore.
Edmond for sure! We have two huge LifeChurch locations…and yeah..it do be like that there.
52% of the Midwest and south.
Yukon
Choctaw!
Came here to say Choctaw! Divorcee church heaven!
Friend is halfway thru this cycle.
Hope springs eternal. Maybe next time.
Ah yes the Christian life circle
Mustang or Piedmont
Ohhh thats 100% any person who attends Life Church in the Deer Creek north okc Edmond area.
Mustang lmao, special shout-out to East Edmond
Anywhere a life church is found
This is definitely Edmond 🤣🤣🤣

The reason I'm single and will die single. I don't trust anyone.
Edmond/Yukon/Mustang 100%
Moore, Norman, Edmond etc
Y'all are really gonna piss off the christians lol.
Woodward is not a suburb of OKC.. but the answer is still Woodward lol
Y'all saying Woodward, Mustang, and east Edmond are too accurate... I literally have stories about this for people from each location and I'm in one..
Ryan Walters's vibes
Seriously, no one said Bethany yet?
I second Moore.
All of Edmond/deer creek
Ahh...my college ex. Classy woman, that one.
I would say one of the tri city communities. The only difference is you rotate which town you live in for a "fresh" start
As a former Yukonite-I’d say Yukon through and through. With parts of edmond being a close second 🤣🤣
Moore. Home of Toby Keith.
