Heresy Alert! Steven Furtick Says Whatever God is, ‘You Are Too’
Steven Furtick is the Lead Pastor of Elevation Church, a former Southern Baptist-associated, 25,000-member multisite campus with 17 locations. He is known for having the term “narcegesis” (narcissistic exegesis) named after him based on his inability to exegete scripture in a way that doesn’t make every story revolve around him and you.
During his February 11, 2024 sermon, after announcing his new book “Do The New You” he explains his purpose in writing it, then tells them that whatever God is, they are.
This is written so I can come home with you. Sounds kind of weird. This is where I get to coach you. This is where I get to be a voice in your life that reminds you that you are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ; the voice in your life that helps you realize you are more than the math of what is against you.
That you are more than the mistakes that you have made, that the Great I Am lives in you and whatever He is, you are too.
It’s not the first time he’s made similar comments, having tweeted out last year:
Far from merely suggesting that we share some attributes of our creator, Futrtick is engaging at best in some ‘little-god’ theology, at worst, directly comparing himself to God and seeking to co-opt all his attributes for himself.
God is perfect. God is sinless. God is omnipresent. God is omnipotent. God is omniscient. God is omnibenevolent. God is a million other things that we are not, and any suggestion to the contrary is rank heresy.
While Furtick may receive a barrage of criticism for saying this, it doesn’t matter, as he famously tunes out his critics and repeatedly insists that he doesn’t listen to all the ‘haters.’ Besides, Furtick taught similar theology before. In his 2019 ‘My Maker is My Mirror’ sermon, he repeatedly referred to himself as I AM.

He started off with a few truths and encouraging statements, and then…
He started off with the little gods heresy and now has graduated into the big leagues of heresy ‘You shall be as Gods …’
Friend and I were just talking about this false teacher. Her husband listens to him and “I haven’t heard anything that he has said that is bad. He doesn’t ask for money or anything.” You try to talk to these millienials and you just can’t break through the fog. Doesn’t matter his net worth or the home he lives in. Doesn’t matter what he says. Just sad.
