A controversial lady preacher from a burgeoning Christian sect is making waves on the internet due to her viral videos that have raised allegations of toxicity, hypocrisy, and homophobia.

Video clips and footage of Rev. Jennifer B. Cobarrubias’s sermons, conducted at Dream Life Church, have rapidly disseminated across various social media platforms, notably TikTok, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).

The term “pastor” is currently trending on X, thanks to Cobarrubias’s divisive video discussing women’s choices and seemingly belittling those less fortunate.

In one video, she advises women not to enter relationships with men who don’t meet their perceived standards, saying, “Pero ang sinasabi ko lang, dahil royalty ka, huwag kang papatol sa just-just” (But what I’m saying is, if you’re royalty, don’t stoop to just anyone).

She continues, “Kung ikaw may kotse, papatol ka ba ka naglalakad, nagtutulak ng kariton? No! That’s not your level. Hindi lang sa material, huh. Alam na alam natin na mahirap kausap ang hindi aral” (If you have a car, would you date someone who’s walking or pushing a cart? No! That’s not your level. It’s not just about material things; we all know it’s hard to converse with someone uneducated).

It remains unclear whether she delivered these remarks during a church sermon or in her personal capacity as an individual.

Many netizens were taken aback by her approach, with some deeming it “ungodly,” “elitist,” and unchristian.

In another widely circulated video clip, Cobarrubias is seen delivering a sermon in a seemingly mocking tone, where she asserts that according to the Bible, the man in the family should be the provider, adding, “tapos magpapaligaw ka sa hindi nag-aaral, hindi tapos ng pag-aaral, hello!” (and then you’re pursuing someone who hasn’t pursued an education, who hasn’t completed their studies, hello!).

Yet another video, described by netizens as “guilt-tripping,” portrays Cobarrubias acting like a “bully”.

She appears to be gossiping without a specific target, while young members in the background seem to agree with her snide remarks.

One netizen commented, “This is what I mean when I say religious people are more successful in driving people AWAY from God than bringing them closer to Him.” Another Facebook user expressed their dismay, “Ang toxic naman pala ni pastora. No wonder umaalis members sa church nila” (The pastor seems toxic. It’s no wonder members are leaving their church).

A screenshot shared online by someone claiming to be a former Dream Life Church member named Darrel Aquino describes a traumatic experience.

“Ang buong experience ko dun ay sorbing traumatic as a gay guy like every Sunday, bukambibig niya sa preaching niya na kasalanan ang pagiging bading with special mention ng pangolin ko at that moment gusto ko na lang kinin ng lupa kasi isip isip ko bakit ko to nararanaman eh dapat nasa safe space ako. Kasi simbahan, pinalampas ko yun” (My whole experience there was incredibly traumatic as a gay guy. Every Sunday, she repeatedly said that being gay is a sin, with a special mention of my pangolin, and at that moment, I just wanted the ground to swallow me up because I wondered why I was feeling this way when I should be in a safe space. I let it pass because it was a church).

Dream Life’s Facebook page, with over 2,000 followers, has seen thousands of reactions and comments from concerned netizens.

One Facebook user commented, “All actions have consequences.” Another described it as “parang talent center” (like a talent center).

The church has also garnered a one-star rating on Google reviews, with many reviewers criticizing it as “toxic.”
