In 2021, Steven Furtick raised a lot of eyebrows when he, in a hyper emotive rant, said, “I am God Almighty.” People excused that as him getting tongue tied. Fair enough. But then I found a clip from two years earlier in which he said basically the same thing. Now, in 2024, he may have said the most blatantly heretical statement he has ever uttered. There is no excusing this one.
