There was a transition that happened for Todd and the Transformation Church. “I always try to figure out how long they have been in the darkroom,’’ he said to emphasize the point that there should be a development process before one’s success. The pastor is often suspicious of those who are an overnight success. “The darkroom is where God develops your character and the darkroom is where God keeps working those things out of you where you can still be used on the platform, but know you are nasty behind the scenes,” he revealed. The Relationship Goals bestselling author realized that the Holy Spirit was working on Todd’s relationship with God and fixing things in his heart so that he could be elevated. “There was a divine grace that came over my life on February 1, 2015, when me and my wife stepped into that role we stepped in knowing that we didn’t know anything except God was with us,” Todd realized.Īt the time, the congregation had about 300 members and his sermons were only receiving 100 views on Youtube. Todd declined the offer at first and recalled saying, “I don’t even like people that much.’’ He reconsidered after discovering it was a five-year plan. In September 2014, the Pastor at the time, Gary Mcintosh, informed Toddl that he would become the lead pastor of the church because Mcintosh believed that he had the vision for where the congregation was headed. Todd confessed that he never wanted to be the pastor of Transformation Church. Before becoming the pastor of Transformation Church, Todd served as the sound man, the youth pastor, and then the main pastor.

Senior pastor of Transformation Church, Michael Toddm sat down with Matt and Laurie Crouch on TBN’s show “Praise” to talk about his journey in leadership.
