14:28Now PlayingIn 2019, Ben Kirby started posting screenshots of pastors next to price tags and the street value of shoes they were wearing on Instagram. His account, called @PreachersNSneakers had attracted 100,000 followers within a month. Some of the items are as expensive as a $3,600 Gucci jacket, $1,250 Louboutin fanny pack, and $2,541 Ricci crocodile belt. Eventually, Kirby started questioning whether it’s appropriate to generate massive revenue from selling the gospel of Jesus. Even though he initially posted and podcasted without sharing his real name, recently, he decided to share his real identity with the release of his new book, “PreachersNsneakers.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics stated in 2019 that the median salary for clergy was $53,180. However, Kirby’s Instagram feed showcases how a nationwide evangelical market has become lucrative for leaders with celebrity status. His intention is to get people to question the status quo within the church and make their own assessments.
