Ah yes, Mark’s latest post delivers yet another theological mic drop for the social media congregation:
“Having a man who has a real knowledge of who God is: Is the real flex!!”

And who could he possibly mean?
(Hint: He’s holding up a mirror and winking.)

Let’s break this down: what exactly qualifies Mark as the man of “real knowledge” of God? Is it:

• The time he allegedly stole a little girl’s baseball cap at an All-Star tournament, then gave three contradictory explanations about how he acquired it while sitting smugly next to the crying child? Rob_Peters_Mark_Stephen…
  That’s some next-level pastoral leadership right there. Sermon title: “Blessed are the kleptomaniacs, for theirs is the kingdom of confusion.”
• His starring role as chaos coordinator at youth basketball games, laughing along while his guest (who no one recognized) screamed political slogans and hurled insults at children, parents, and coaches?
  Truly the embodiment of the spiritual gift of Discord.
• His relentless efforts to undermine his own child’s life-saving medical care—disputing well-established medical diagnoses like ARFID, minimizing life-threatening health risks, spreading fringe pseudoscience, and making false claims about doctors’ advice? Dr. Rao
  Surely that’s what the Apostle Paul meant when he wrote about “rightly dividing the word of truth.” Right?

But wait, there’s more:

• Filming the chaos at games like a spectator in his own disaster movie, while never once stepping in to protect or de-escalate for the sake of his son—because who needs peace when you can have content?
• Preaching about toxins and soybeans making you gay, while discouraging essential medications and calling his malnourished son “obese.”
  Now that’s true knowledge, friends… right out of the Book of Mark (Stephens edition).

The Ultimate Flex

When Mark proclaims himself as the “man who has real knowledge of God,” what he’s really flexing is a classic case of spiritual branding:

• Image over integrity
• Provocation over protection
• Distortion over discernment

It’s less about actual wisdom and more about curating a feed where scripture captions float on a sea of chaos, contradictions, and self-aggrandizement.

The Takeaway

Maybe this post isn’t about proclaiming a humble, faithful walk with God at all.
Maybe it’s a desperate grasp for credibility after years of being caught in lies, public disruption, and harming those closest to him.
Maybe the real flex here is Mark’s ability to maintain this facade…
while hoping no one remembers the hat, the basketball game, or the doctors’ desperate pleas for him to understand his child’s condition.
