Pastor Michael Todd Releases New Book

By Marie

Pastor Michael Todd, a New York Times bestselling author and Pastor of Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in his new book, “Damaged but Not Destroyed: From Trauma to Triumph,” embraces transparency.“I think a lot of people are running from what they need to deal with,” Pastor Todd said in an interview on the Tamron Hall Show, “dealing with your damage actually leads you to your destiny.”Drawing from biblical examples, Todd contends that everyone except Jesus, experiences damage, asserting that bringing one’s brokenness to God is essential for healing and destiny. In the book, Todd talks about a concept he labeled ‘H.O.T.,’ which stands for ‘Humble, Open, and Transparent.”“I think a lot of times, especially in this culture, we’re trying to hide, fake, and project,” he explained, “and a lot of times, you cannot get healed if you don’t reveal.”The book allows readers an up close and personal look at his life, including vulnerabilities, trauma, and poor choices. His purpose for this is to encourage readers to overcome mistakes through biblical narratives. His goal is to remain humble transparent, and emulate Jesus’ discipleship, combining theology and therapy for transformative growth.While Todd’s unconventional preaching style has drawn criticism, he focuses on reaching those who find traditional church settings unappealing.Pastor Michael along with his wife Natalie, have been the Lead Pastors of Transformation Church based in Tulsa, OK since February 2015. They were entrusted with Transformation Church by the founding Pastor, Gary McIntosh after 15 years of operation.Their personal philosophy and driving passion is re- presenting God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ. Their mission is to place Christ in the center of culture to impact their community, city and world with the gospel presented in a relevant and progressive way.In 2016, because of their obedience and the viral impact of the sermon series “Relationship Goals” they gained influence and the ability to reach millions of people all over the world.With the popularity of this series spanning over 2 years and gaining over 6 million views, Ps. Michael knew that this wasn’t just a sermon but was a necessary lesson in which the world needed to hear.After many requests and much acclaim, Pastor Michael Todd released his debut book Relationship Goals. It debuted at number 1 on Amazon and spent 13 straight weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers list. The musical single “Relationship Goals (Revelation)” reached number 10 on the Billboard R&B charts.ALSO READ: Mlalazi Emerges Africa’s Best Male Gospel Artist
