10-Point Theological Scorecard

Christology

Is Jesus the only way? (John 14:6)

Trinitarian language used; Christ's deity affirmed; specifics on exclusivity not surfaced.

Caution

Scripture

Inerrancy affirmed? Final authority?

'Biblical authority' affirmed; inerrancy language not explicit.

Caution

Men's Discipleship

Intentional formation for men?

Not featured on About.

Caution

Soteriology

Faith alone? How is salvation presented?

'Salvation through Christ' affirmed but five-fold ministry framing and 'financial wholeness / successful in all areas of life' language points to prosperity-adjacent soteriology.

WARNING!

Gender / Biblical Design

Biblical manhood and womanhood by God's design — patriarchal, complementarian, egalitarian, or affirming gender ideology?

BLACK: 'We believe both men and women are sovereignly chosen by God for these ministry positions' regarding the five-fold ministry. Natalie Todd co-pastors with husband Michael Todd. Egalitarian by doctrinal statement.

Husband-wife co-pastor; doctrinal statement explicitly affirms women in five-fold ministry offices including apostle and pastor

Disqualifier

Leadership Structure

Male elders/pastors? Accountability?

Husband-wife co-pastor model (Michael + Natalie Todd, lead since Feb 2015) with no visible external accountability structure. Bishop Gary McIntosh passed ministry to the Todds.

WARNING!

Preaching Style

Expository or topical/therapeutic?

Michael Todd preaching style is motivational / therapeutic / viral-clip-driven ('Relationship Goals' megaseller book); felt-needs and celebrity-culture driven rather than expository.

Disqualifier

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

'Win the world' framing paired with wholeness / financial prosperity language; gospel emphasis is diluted.

WARNING!

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

LGBTQ stance not explicit on About page — verify; urban-hip-hop ministry style and celebrity culture are defining.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Husband-wife co-pastor structure (Michael + Natalie Todd) with charismatic executive team; no external denominational accountability; doctrinal statement explicitly opens five-fold ministry (including apostle/pastor) to women. No confessional network. Kept RED — egalitarian solo-family structure with genuine cult-risk profile.

WARNING!

Assessment

Transformation Church in Tulsa is led by Michael Todd, a charismatic young pastor with massive social media following. Todd took over from founding pastor Gary McIntosh in 2015. Known for viral sermon clips and contemporary worship. Todd has made controversial statements and stunts (spitting in a congregant's face during a sermon illustration). Evaluate for theological depth vs. entertainment-driven ministry and prosperity-adjacent tendencies.
