If youre still trying to muster the courage to shoot your shot on social media, hopefully Chandler Moores story will inspire you. Moore shared that he slid into Pooles DMs requesting her styling services. A friendship and whirlwind romance ensued shortly thereafter, Moore popped the question on his 26th birthday weekend and the rest as they say, is history.
The Moores exchanged their vows in front of a close-knit crowd of family and friends including gospel great Kirk Franklin and wife Tammy, Israel and Adrienne Houghton and worship leader Todd Galberth, amongst others.
Excited fans on social media gushed over Moore & Pooles wedding snaps however one questionable picture seems to have divided Moores followers, causing a war of words in the comments section of his Instagram post.
Instagram user @jrdawson89 posted: Such a huge fan such an anointing on your life congratulations on your marriage. Its a beautiful thing the second pic though? We are going from worshiping in spirit filled revival sessions with you on Jireh, Wait on You and Build your Church to the entire world seeing you and your wife in the 2nd pic!...Just disappointed that you felt the world should see you in that way. Keep some private
Israel Houghtons attempt to defend Moore was met with strong criticism as fans turned on him, with some harshly bringing up his own past moral failings.
People are really sitting here calling others judgmental for calling certain things out. This man is a leader and sets examples for others. No one is saying he cant have fun, but some things should be left private and off your platform as a leader, posted Instagram user @anicole.j.
We cant ignore the truth that every christian has a responsibility to represent Christ well and ensure that the Lords name is not brought into disrepute. Christian leaders with large public platforms and influence are more prone to public scrutiny therefore have a greater responsibility to walk out their faith in a Christ exalting manner.
