SBC Megachurch Sings Sanitized ‘Astronauts in the Ocean’ Song for Pirate-Themed Church Service
Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, an 8000- member Southern Baptist megachurch continues its celebration of all things fleshly. Know for their extravagant attempts to keep their members entertained, in the past few months alone they played a cover of Run D.M.C’s sleazy and sexual song Walk this Way in church, as well as preformed Kendrick Lamar’s N95, only cleaned up and sanitized for church audiences, removing the curse words and racial epitaphs for a sermon illustration.
Now, as part of their month-long, Pirate-themed church sermon services, they played a cleaned up cover of Masked Wolf’s 2019 hit ‘Astronauts in the Ocean’ for reasons senior pastor and Chief Entertainer David Hughes explains below:
Happy Spooktacular weekend. If you’re new to the church and you’re confused I get it, most churches don’t do something quite like this. But we just got to wrap our arms around this time of year and embrace the costumes and the spooky and the candy to hopefully entice a lot of families to come check out our church.
…So thanks for being the kind of church that just does this to reach people, man. Thank you for being a ‘whatever it takes’ kind of church. And Jesus says something I thought was so intriguing the same way, the same way., uh you know pirate stories have been around for a long time…
To make it “church friendly” the performers removed a couple curse words from the lyrics, including s****, a few “damn’s’ and the word T.H.O.T (that hoe over there.)
By the way, look how quickly they transition from the show to the worship portion. It’ll give you theological whiplash!
It’s incredible jarring, but goes to show that in the grand scheme of things, it’s all just more of the same; designed to entertain, and not bring glory to the Lord.
