Louisiana Pastor Calls Woman A ‘Witch’ After Baby Formula Help Request: ‘This Is A Very Shocking Response’

In Louisiana, a TikTok experiment meant to expose how churches treat struggling mothers has turned into a full-blown sermon scandal. A Baton Rouge pastor is now at the center of controversy after allegedly labeling a woman a “witch” and “the devil” all because she asked for baby formula.

The situation unfolded after TikToker Nikalie Monroe launched a social experiment series where she calls churches pretending to be a desperate mother in need of baby formula. The goal is to see which religious institutions would offer genuine help amid the ongoing SNAP benefit cuts that have left many real families struggling. However, not everyone took kindly to the test, especially one Louisiana pastor who made his feelings crystal clear.

During a recent sermon at Living Faith Christian Center in Baton Rouge, Pastor Raymond W. Johnson took to the pulpit to address Monroe directly. In a fiery rant that quickly went viral, Johnson slammed the TikToker for “calling churches and putting the voice of a baby crying in the background.” He didn’t mince words, calling her actions “the spirit of a witch” and “low.”

Louisiana Pastor Shocks The Internet With ‘Witch’ Claims

“The person who goes around calling churches and putting the voice of a baby crying in the background… really, the person is low. I don’t apologize to the devil,” Johnson told his congregation. He even took it a step further, warning that those who “fool with God” will face consequences.

For context, when Monroe called Living Faith Christian Center, she was told that the church had no diapers or baby formula to offer and could not assist. Her followers were quick to question how a large, donation-funded church could have no emergency supplies for mothers in need, even hypothetical ones.

In his defense, Johnson claimed his church had “fed thousands” without seeking recognition and said he’s even used his own credit card to help mothers in need. Still, calling a woman a witch for highlighting an uncomfortable truth didn’t exactly paint him in a charitable light.

TikTok Is Furious Even Though It Was An Experiment

Monroe’s series, which now includes nearly 40 videos, has exposed both the generosity and hypocrisy within faith communities across the country. Ironically, one of the few organizations that did pass her “test” wasn’t a church at all, it was a mosque. That detail only added to the online debate about who is really living out the values of compassion and service.

“I bet you if she called to make a donation y’all would’ve found a way to collect it immediately,” one person stated. “His response has me more appalled than them simply just not helping her,” another said. “He just mad because he’s on blast,” a third person quipped. “This is a very shocking response,” a fourth comment read.

While Pastor Johnson insists he’s simply protecting his church’s reputation, critics say his reaction says more about pride than piety. For many, this Louisiana drama has become a glaring reminder that kindness shouldn’t come with conditions and that no one asking for baby formula deserves to be called a witch.
