The opinon of this guy seems to be split. Half of what I've seen hate him. The other half love him.
I ask because I've listened to some YouTube shorts of his from his podcast and he seems like a genuine dude, but this video really trashes him.

I follow him on social media and listen to some podcasts...I enjoy his passage breakdown and real life application.
Be interesting to hear why people don't like him...but probably won't change my opinion due to how f'd people are these days and how much they spin comments, etc.

He is very solid and this is coming from someone who is not a big mega church person.

This guy trashes everybody including Charlie Kirk and Billy Graham. He acts like he believes he’s Jesus Christ with how he’s perfect and everybody else isn’t. I’d take whatever this guy is saying with a large grain of salt.

He believes Christ is perfect and no one else is? I'm confused...

I said that awkwardly. It’s the YouTuber who acts like he’s perfect and finds something wrong with absolutely everybody.

i took that comment to mean that Jordan Riley, the guy in the video, thinks he himself is perfect like Jesus Christ and everyone else isn't.
he basically thinks that Jordan Riley thinks of himself as Christ-like.

We are but attend a satellite campus in our neighborhood, I've always liked him.
Josh Bio - He is a third-generation pastor. His father, Rick Howerton, and his grandfather both served in ministry.

Never heard of him before, but almost every pastor is a nutjob, and I assume he's no exception.
Atheism is the way to go.
Everybody is athestic toward Greek gods or Egyptian gods or Iroquois gods or whatever. Some of us just go one god further.

That's not a church. That's a TED talk.

At least Christianity gave the world that ideal, even if it isn't followed by its "followers".

I been seeing more of his stuff recently as it popped on my social media, I don’t see the problem with him.

Billy Graham deserves to be trashed.
I'm pretty apathetic towards Charlie Kirk. Like I had barely heard of Charlie Kirk before he was killed, and I assume the same is true of most people. I think it's kind of strange how people started acting like Kirk was the most important person in US history as soon as he got killed.

That's a pretty dumb assumption lol

I saw the YouTube short clips of him but didn’t know who he was for a while
I think getting rejected by West Point hurt his whole perception of college and came across bitter at times when mentioning DEI; I’m not for DEI but he seemed overly obsessed

He was very important to the future of this country. Not sure why that’s strange

Kirk really was not well known before his death. He was barely even discussed on tigerdroppings. If you do a google search to look for mentions of Charlie Kirk on tigerdroppings, I can't find a single mention of him before his death, after I looked through about the first 7 or 8 pages of results.

Edit: If you get to page 9 of the google results, there is one mention of Kirk before his death. It's a comment from Imjustafatkid on 7/30/2025 (about 40 days before Kirk died) saying that "Charlie Kirk does an incredible job defending conservative ideals and beliefs." That comment got 1 upvote and 12 downvotes. That's literally the only time I can find that Charlie Kirk was mentioned on Tigerdroppings before he died.

My family and started attending about 6 weeks ago and really enjoy him. We started at the main campus in Rockwall but have since been attending a satellite campus.
You mention the split of people liking and hating him... I think you will find is right leaning conservative people will like him and agree with his views while left leaning liberals will not. He's conservative and doesn't hide it. He isn't afraid to speak his beliefs. There are too many pastors who are afraid to speak political beliefs, scared to hurt someone's feelings or lose a member.
