Here’s Why Pastor Keion Henderson Is Going Viral
On Sunday, May 5, Pastor Henderson’s latest sermon at The Lighthouse Church in Houston, Texas, premiered via YouTube. During the sermon, he largely spoke about shifting perspective on one’s challenges and trusting God’s timing.
The Shade Room apparently obtained a clip from Pastor Henderson’s recent service. The video showed the pastor during a praise and worship session with his choir on stage.
As he began to sing, viewers could hear intense screams in the background.
“Shh!” Pastor Henderson said before walking to one of his choir members.
The pastor then seemingly pointed to a person standing near the woman screaming.
“Hey, stop her,” he said, snapping his fingers. “Hush, hush. Silence in the name of Jesus.”
While working back to the front of the stage, the pastor explained his actions.
“The only voice I want heard is his,” he said.

While Instagram user @asiagolden added, “If she was screaming during the basket coming around for tithes and offerings he would have let her shout as loud as she wanted. 🙄🤦🏾♀️”

Social Media Continues With Reactions
While Instagram user @melinda.mondays added, “Can I be honest? He had the right intention but the execution was mildly cold. The lady was being extremely loud and some could argue disruptive… sking an usher to see her into another room so she can scream as needed, would’ve sufficed. Snapping your fingers and telling her to hush is something you do to a dog…”
While Instagram user @lucky7s added, “Cry Out… just don’t cry out loud (apparently) 😂”
Instagram user @brandielovehowell wrote, “Why you do that lady like that sir you don’t know what she’s battling- this is why folks don’t go to church now save her soul not bash her.”
