A Missouri pastor is apologizing after a video featuring his rant about being over his “busted and disgusted” congregation circulated on TikTok.

The clip featured Carlton Funderburke, senior pastor at Kansas City’s Church at The Well, telling churchgoers they were “cheap sons and daughters” for not honoring their pastor by buying him a Movado watch.

“I don’t want to hear no more excuses about what you can’t afford. You can’t afford it because you don’t see the value here,” Funderburke said as he pointed toward the front of his church. “Y’all hear from y’all pastor and father, I’m over y’all. I’m over your cheap expressions. See that’s how I know you’re still poor, broke, busted and disgusted because of how you’ve been honoring me.”

Some churchgoers could be heard cheering for Funderburke during the rant.

All of them are why church attendance is in decline, and rightfully so.

beyond, and atone for my actions.

Good grief. No more hiding in the shadows begging for money, this is plain extortion from the membership, go to Hell if you don't give me money!

Reverend Thunderbutt should be angling for a private jet, like Osteen, Myers, Duplantis, Dollar and other grifters have already done. Jesus would be embarrassed that he can only scam a watch out of his cult.
