Thursday, September 25, 2025 - Popular Kenyan pastor and motivational speaker Robert Burale has reignited conversation around faith and wealth with a candid take on why many affluent Kenyans are steering clear of church.
Speaking on a recent podcast, Burale didn’t mince words,
claiming that the prosperity gospel has alienated the very people it often
tries to attract.
“Rich people no longer go to church because we preach
foolish things to them,” he said.
He painted a vivid picture: “Imagine you have ten
billionaires in church and the pastor says, ‘I hear the Lord say you will live
in a house you didn’t build.’”
“These people already live in lavish homes and drive
top-of-the-range cars.”
Burale explained that wealthy individuals seek spiritual
nourishment, not empty promises.
When churches fail to offer depth and authenticity, he said,
they simply stop attending.
His remarks quickly went viral, sparking widespread support
online.
Many netizens echoed his sentiments, accusing modern-day
pastors of turning churches into businesses and selling hope to the poor
instead of preaching truth and spiritual growth.
Known for his sharp suits and sharper insights, Burale’s
comments have once again positioned him as a thought-provoking voice in Kenya’s
faith circles, challenging believers and leaders alike to rethink the message
behind the pulpit.
