Who are Tommy & lolly ? Tommy 'Soulman' and lolly are not like most ‘Ministers’ and their wives ! They practice what they preach in that they never change to try to be what they think other people think they should be. Especially ‘churchy’ people. When Jesus was here He rebuked the people who ‘thought’ they were righteous based on what they did, said, and wore. He also hung out with ‘sinners’ - He was even himself accused of being a drunk and a glutton. Tommy & lolly are more comfortable with just being themselves than most people you’d meet... whether Christian or not.
They believe
completely in ‘Freedom in Christ’ (read Galatians) while balancing it
most genuinely with a concern for not offending others (Romans 14).
It's like walking a tight rope sometimes. They realize that they cannot
please everyone from every lifestyle, so most often they just ‘be themselves’.
They are just plain fun to be around. Their entire lifestyle is a perfect example of how one can allow themselves to be exactly as God created them and not changing their appearance or behavior to please others . Tommy’s ministry as an Evangelist Minister goes way deeper than hosting a church meeting and teaching through the bible. He is prepared to preach the word in season and out. He is as comfortable sharing the love of God in Christ Jesus out in the world as he is in a Christian setting. He can just as easily be found ministering to the hearts of people about God’s love and acceptance and the salvation found in Jesus at a bar or nightclub, at a biker rally, in Wal-mart or Food Lion, at a wild party, or on a nude beach for that matter, as he would in a ‘safe’ Christian setting. Tommy & lolly act in ways and go to places where the normal ‘churchy’ people don’t, and because of that they have drawn harsh criticsm and controversy from within the 'church' while at the same time have led many people to a saving knowledge of God's Love through the Lord Jesus. Most Christians choose to live within the sound of the church’s chapel bell, Tommy & lolly choose to run a rescue shop outside the gates of hell.......
