Jesse Duplantis Drops Shocking Announcement on Cutting Ties with 3 Key Pastors Due to Human Form Dispute
Internationally renowned televangelist and prosperity preacher Jesse Duplantis has announced that he is cutting ties with three influential pastors from his inner circle over what he described as “irreconcilable differences concerning doctrinal integrity—specifically, beliefs surrounding the nature of the human form.”
The announcement came during a surprise live stream from the Jesse Duplantis Ministries (JDM) headquarters in Destrehan, Louisiana. Appearing visibly emotional yet determined, Duplantis stated, “I never thought I’d have to say this, but the time has come. I can no longer walk in spiritual agreement with individuals who distort the divine design of humanity, especially when it compromises the gospel.”
Although he refrained from naming the pastors outright, internal sources close to the ministry identified them as high-profile figures within charismatic and Word of Faith circles—each known for their televised appearances and affiliations with Duplantis’s nationwide tours.
The core of the controversy reportedly stems from a growing rift over theological interpretations of the “human form” and divine embodiment. Duplantis believes the pastors in question have been leaning into teachings that he describes as “borderline gnostic,” suggesting that the human body is a flawed prison for the spirit rather than God’s intentional vessel.
“This is not a small disagreement,” Duplantis continued during the broadcast. “To devalue the human form is to devalue the incarnation of Christ Himself. We are made in God’s image, and anyone preaching otherwise is preaching a lie.”
Ripple Effects Across the Religious Community
The fallout from this announcement has been immediate and intense. Social media platforms are ablaze with speculation and theological debate. Many supporters have praised Duplantis for taking a principled stand, while critics have accused him of fostering division.
Prominent evangelical commentator Dr. Elaine Richards weighed in, stating, “Jesse Duplantis has always been a controversial figure, but this move signals a more serious split within the charismatic movement. This isn’t just about doctrine—it’s about authority, influence, and the future direction of modern prosperity ministries.”
In response, one of the unnamed pastors allegedly involved issued a cryptic statement on social media, hinting at “spiritual blindness masquerading as discernment,” which many interpret as a veiled jab at Duplantis.
What’s Next for Duplantis?
Duplantis, 75, has been a towering figure in televangelism for over four decades, known for his humorous sermons, lavish lifestyle, and bold proclamations—such as claiming to have visited heaven and advocating for private jets as a ministry necessity.
Despite the controversy, Duplantis remains firm. “I still love these men, but I have to obey the Holy Spirit. I serve a God of truth—not confusion. The human form was never a mistake. It is holy, purposed, and divine.”
With this bold move, Jesse Duplantis has made it clear he is entering a new chapter—one that may redefine alliances and spark broader discussions in evangelical theology.
