They might just think you'd drank your 5 hour energy that morning.

I think 99.9% of people in general would look at you that way if you did that!
Perhaps being untethered from the Mothership will help MJ understand his preaching doesn't have to be performance based or done for response. Results is much better than response!

I am pretty sure MJ has changed his preaching style ... actually, he told me personally that he had changed preaching styles. Listening to his podcast on the church website confirm this ... cc1 you would be right at home.

And his old UPC fans will probably be very sad as they will think this means he has lost his "annointing" (I mean we all know the louder you preach the more annointed you are!)

LOL!!! I have a relative who is a UPC preacher. He is one of the finest men I have ever met. I have known him since he was just out of his teens. In person he is one of the most mild mannered easy going people you will ever meet.
Somehow I had managed to never hear him preach over the 15+ years he had been in the family then a few years ago that opportunity came up. Another relative came up to me and said "I have to warn you that not only is he a screamer but he doesn't even build up to it - he is hollaring from the first sentance of his sermon!". I was pretty surprised and thankful for the warning. Sure enough he came out of the gate screaming from the first word and ended the same way!
I have no doubt his preaching style is a result of the mentors he was around during the formative years of his ministry. He is not doing it for show, etc.
