A Georgia pastor is drawing national attention after a sermon urging Christians to pray for President Donald Trump — and to stop speaking negatively about him — sparked widespread online reaction.
Otha L. Turnbough, pastor of Lionheart Church in Georgia, told his congregation that God may be working through Trump in ways that are difficult for people to understand. During the sermon, Turnbough warned believers against judging the former president emotionally, insisting that God often uses controversial and unexpected figures to accomplish His purposes.
“God is using that man outside your understanding,” Turnbough said.
Pointing to examples from the Old Testament, the pastor argued that Scripture shows God repeatedly choosing unlikely leaders and prophets to confront evil and carry out judgment. He suggested that similar biblical patterns can still be seen today.
Turnbough acknowledged that Trump’s actions often provoke strong reactions but said they should be viewed through a spiritual lens rather than a political or emotional one. According to the pastor, when God moves to judge evil, the individuals He uses are frequently misunderstood and seen as unconventional.
