Overview
- During a Sunday 'Day of Giving' at Perfecting Church, Winans told a woman her $1,235 offering was 'only $1,200' after he requested $2,000.
- The pastor’s phrasing — reported as '$1,000 plus $1,000' or '$1,000 plus 1' — created confusion before he rejected the woman’s offer to bring the remaining $800 later.
- The video, clipped from the church’s livestream, spread across X, Instagram and Threads, with many accusing Winans of public shaming during a high-pressure appeal.
- Defenders, including self-described Trump adviser Darrell Scott, argued the moment was taken out of context and framed it as accountability and 'old-school' leadership.
- The incident refocused attention on Perfecting Church’s stalled complex at 7 Mile and Woodward, and as of Tuesday no public response had been issued by Winans or the church.
