ED YOUNG, JR. PLAYS PASTOR FASHION
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on May 20, 2012 in Current Issues, Features, Southern Baptist Convention
Apprising Ministries first told you about popular Seeker Driven Southern Baptist pastor Ed Young, Jr., son of two-time former SBC president Dr. Ed Young, back in a piece called But Southern Baptists Say Ok To T.D. Jakes.
There you saw that, long before James MacDonald and his ecumenical Elephant Room, Ed Young, Jr. had already given the ol’ evangelical pass to modalist and Word Faith heretic T.D. Jakes back in 2006.
In fact, you might recall that as he tells us T.D. Jakes Is My Favorite Preacher In The World Elephant Room mainstay, Seeker Driven prophet-pastor Steven Furtick, gushes over one particular sermon by T.D. Jakes.
Well, it was preached by Jakes at one of Ed Young. Jr.’s Creative Church Conferences. So, it’s really not surprising at all that Young, Jr. would be so enamored with Jakes as he’s long been associated with WF flakes.
Take for example this nauseating display paying homage to WF property preacher Joel Osteen:

Imagine, an ostensibly orthodox SBC pastor attributing to God the man-loving mythology of Joel Osteen. Without a doubt Ed Young, Jr. loves to push the envelope. Which brings us around to something he calls Pastor’s Fashion.
You might know that I first referenced it in SBC Pastor Ed Young, Jr With Fashion Advice For Pastors where I embedded a video where Young, Jr. discussed using spanks, or in other words, basically a man-girdle.
He also discusses how he’d just launched this Pastor’s Fashion website, which is designed to offer tips on apparel for preachers to wear. This site could be parody, we’re not sure, but it seems the video is to be taken seriously.
Given the foolishness going on in contemporary evangelicalism, ya just never know with a guy like Ed Young, Jr. Few are so anxious to take Seeker Driven man-pleasing preaching—quoting him—to a “hole nutha level.”
Who could forget Southern Baptist Pastor Ed Young, Jr And His Silly 24 Hour Bed In. Well, the About section only tells us about Young, Jr. hmself:
Ed Young is a pastor, author and conference speaker noted for his creative communication style. He has a passion for making the complex, simple as he speaks truth to people in ways they can understand and apply to their everyday lives. (source)
However, From the Runway to the Pulpit, which is the first post on this site, informs us:

Unfortunately, now matter how nattily attired one may be it isn’t the mission of the Christian church to change the world. That is merely a by product of our mission, which is to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ Name.
In closing this, for now, below Ed Young, Jr. fills us in why he hired “a swagger coach.” O, and you might find it interesting to know this was actually a promo for Young. Jr.’s Easter series:
Apparently, Ed Young, Jr. has himself now become our self-appointed SBC pastor fashion swagger coach:
