It's time for Donkey of the Day. There's a bunch of donkeys out in this street. I'll make Donkey Today. Called Donkey of the Day, it really caught me off guard. If we live a life where we fight our tongue based off who we may offend, we never would say anything. Tommy, give it to him. Give it to him. You are a donkey. That is why Charlotte.

Is he? Some donkey today's just saw themselves. On the Breakfast Club. Okay, Salomein, who you given donkey of the day to today? You know, this is why I like us being live on Netflix, because stuff like that happens all the time where people just be popping up, pulling up, and you don't get to see it, you know what I mean?

But you got to see Cheryl Underwood this morning. She'll be joining us again tomorrow. But Donkey today for Wednesday, June 10th, goes to a 59-year-old to a 59-year-old Fort Pierce Pastor named Gwendolyn Denise Roe. Now, Fort Pierce is in Florida, and what did your uncle Shala always say about Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. See, Gwendolyn is facing five counts of child neglect with great bodily harm after she allegedly abused five siblings she took in.

The headline says, and I quote, Pastor 8, KFC and Popeyes, while her foster kids starved. Let's go to 25WPBF News for the report, please. This is 59-year-old Gwendolyn Roll. Fort Pierce police say she's a pastor at a local church, and up until last week served as an unofficial foster parent for five siblings, ages four through nine, after their father left them and her care. Two of those kids are nonverbal and attend a special needs school. They were just left there for her to care for. She is not a licensed forced to care parent. This was she was doing a favor for somebody. And what ended up happening was the sequence of events with this was that she, neglected their child care. According to Roll's arrest affidavit last Tuesday, police got an anonymous

tip reporting abuse and neglect at Roll's home on Booker Street. And when officers got there, they say they found the home in a deplorable state. That house has two bathrooms, one in the master and one for open use of the rest of the house. That bathroom was completely gutted. So there was no shower. There was no bathtub. There was a toilet that was completely stopped, clogged. Authorities say Roel kept the master bathroom. locked when she wasn't at home. We had reports and eyewitness information that the kids were

using the bathroom in a bucket outside of the house. That was the only way they were allowed to use the bathroom. Now, if these allegations are true, let me take this time on the breakfast club this morning and remind folks what a pastor actually is. Okay, the word pastor comes from the Latin word

for shepherd. Okay, a shepherd feeds the flock. Okay, a shepherd protects the flock. A shepherd comforts the flock. A shepherd lays down there life for the flock, okay? A shepherd does not neglect the flock, all right? And the flock would have had Popeyes, okay? The flock would have had KFC, okay?

See, somewhere along the way we've gotten confused, okay? We've made being a pastor about, you know, microphones and titles and church annivers and the Facebook, Instagram, live sermons, but being a pastor isn't about how loud you preach, it's about how well you serve, and

Pastor Gwendolyn Denise Roe did not serve these kids well at all, okay? Jesus, said whatever you do unto the least of these, you've done unto me. Which means how you treat the vulnerable, you know, that is the ministry, okay? Not the sermon, all right, not the collection plate,

okay, not the title in front of your name, is how you actually treat people. And if these allegations are true, denying children basic necessities, okay? You know, denying them a place to properly shower, okay, denying them chicken, all right, forcing them to use buckets as bathrooms and allegedly terrorizing them, abusing them,

that's not ministry, that's misery, okay? Are you a shepherd or a wolf, pastor? Okay, see, I need people to understand something. God calls pastors to be servants, okay? And the first, you know, the church isn't just the building. Okay, the church is actually the people to me, all. The church isn't the building at all. Like, the church is the people.

So if you are supposed to be ministering these kids, pouring into these kids, that's what you're supposed to do. Okay, they're kids. There are people that can't defend themselves. And that's why this story hurts so much because whenever someone claiming to represent God is accused of doing the exact opposite of what God requires, they don't just harm people.

They damage people's faith. They damage people's trust. And they damage people's understanding of what love and God is supposed to look like. Okay, a path's job is not to impress people with scripture, but to reflect God's character. Okay. And God's character is love and protection and compassion

and compassion, service, and sharing the chicken. Okay, Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. You could have fed five kids with a $10 big a box. There is a way. If you can't care for the most vulnerable among us, then you have no business calling yourself a shepherd of God's people. Please let Remi Ma get Pastor Gwendolyn Roll, the biggest he-ha-pillar, please. He-ha, he-ha.
