Pastor Marvin Winans Under Fire After Publicly Shaming Church Member Over $1,200 Donation

Pastor Marvin Winans Under Fire After Publicly Shaming Church Member Over $1,200 Donation A shocking moment at Perfecting Church in Detroit has gone viral after Pastor Marvin Winans appeared to publicly shame a member for donating $1,200 instead of $2,000 during the church’s annual Day of Giving. The viral video shows the pastor correcting the woman mid-service, saying, “That’s only $1,200. You’re not listening to what I’m saying—$1,000 plus $1,000.” The clip has sparked major backlash, with people debating whether this was spiritual accountability or public humiliation. Many question the phrasing of “1,000 plus 1,000,” the church’s long-delayed building campaign (under construction since 2002), and whether this reflects a deeper issue of donation pressure in megachurch culture. In this video, we break down what really happened at Perfecting Church, explore community reactions, and examine why this moment has so many people talking about church fundraising scandals, faith-based leadership, and the blurred lines between generosity and guilt. 📰 Join my free Substack for exclusive case updates, court document insights, and bonus discussions: https://substack.com/@criminalmotives Podcast: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
