Popular Christian Worship Leader Issues Defiant ‘Apology” After Salacious Wedding Photo goes Viral
Popular worship leader Chandler Moore of the Maverick City Music Collective has issued a defiant non-apology to critics who have taken exception to his public post-marital activities, voicing their displeasure after he posted a photo from his wedding day where his new bride, Hannah Poole, is twerking on him, much to his apparent delight.
Moore, 26, is a singer-songwriter based in Atlanta who has taken off in popularity the last few years. His album Maverick City Vol. 3/ Part 1 recently won a Billboard Music Award for the Top Gospel album, and only 2 months ago he recently collaborated with Steven Furtick’s Elevation Worship band on the album ‘This Old Basement.”
The musician was inundated with criticism on social media last week after he captioned a wedding picture of his wife bent over at the waist while he presses into her from behind, hand on her lower back in a very sexually suggestive action:
“@hgracemoore knows how to twerrrrrrrk. #hallelujah JEEESUS,
Though news outlets like the Christian Post are claiming he apologized for the incident- he did nothing of the sort.
Rather in a follow-up post, Moore claps back at his critics, suggesting that his wife was simply “dancing on him” on account of “great music being played” and that he apologizes “if it offended you that I posted it.”
Far from apologizing, Moore, who has a young son from a previous relationship, went on the offensive and blasted those “demeaning” his marriage by claiming that this sexual irreverence is a sign he is bound to have a rough marriage- a charge Moore vehemently denies.
Moore explains that “the first principle of correction is proximity to the one who is about to be corrected, and that none of his critics would know him or anything about him, and therefore their concern is none of his.
For his part, he intends to ignore the haters and those seeking to shame him, opining that his wife will continue to twerk on him and there’s nothing anyone can do about it, as he does not care.

Two things…people need to stop posting every fricking thing they do to social media. It’s really annoying.
Secondly, “ima” is not a word. Stop using nonsense words.
Hmm… He is defiant and doesn’t understand;
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience? For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or WHATSOEVER YE DO, do all to the glory of God.
GIVE NONE OFFENCE, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
(1 Corinthians 10:29-33 KJV)
Yeah, this is weird.
Totally a waste of time to point this out to everyone though. This site is like the pseudo-discernment TMZ.
Yes, Protestia is getting worse by the day!
At least he’s showing the world what kind of man he is.
Chandler Moore says he wants to “deconstruct” Christian Contemporary Music. Chandler Moore fathered two out-of-wedlock babies in the 5 years prior to posting the sexual wedding reception picture spoken of here. He needs to deconstruct his own lifestyle first.
All this man has done is reveal “whose” he really is. “False prophets will arise who will deceive IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, the very elect.” Sensuality is condemned nine times in the New Testament. John said if you love the things of the world you are an enemy of God.
Hypocrisy is best described as not living personally and outwardly, the life of a disciple as described in the Scriptures….married sex is to be fun but not advertised in a sensual, carnal way.
It is to be sacred and honorable not full of lust and lurid.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 AMP
[3] For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; [4] that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor [being available for God’s purpose and separated from things profane], [5] not [to be used] in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God and are ignorant of His will; [6] and that [in this matter of sexual misconduct] no man shall transgress and defraud his brother because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we have told you before and solemnly warned you. [7] For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness [to be dedicated, and set apart by behavior that pleases Him, whether in public or in private]. [8] So whoever rejects and disregards this is not [merely] rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you [to dwell in you and empower you to overcome temptation].”
