Gabe Poirot Says Jesus Is 'Built Like a Mustang'
The Christian YouTuber's description of his near-death experience and meeting Jesus has gone viral, according to Us Weekly.
Christian YouTuber Gabe Poirot claims he spent 17 days in heaven after a traumatic brain injury, and his description of Jesus's appearance has gone viral, Us Weekly reports.
In October 2021, Poirot cracked his skull after flipping off an electric skateboard at 30 mph without a helmet, sending him into an 18-day coma. When he woke, he says he met Jesus.
Us Weekly reports that Poirot described Jesus as "pure fire" and "built like a mustang," standing 5'11 with eyes that were "burning white and red at the same time." He said Jesus had a voice with a roar and was full of "testosterone."
The PR Read
Poirot's interview with Fox News resurfaced on social media, and the timing is convenient: he has a memoir out this year called '18 Days in Heaven.' Describing Jesus as a mustang with testosterone is the kind of detail that gets people talking and, more importantly, buying books.
The Reaction
Some viewers were skeptical. One X user called it a dream about a "buff muscly man." Another questioned whether he actually met Jesus, given the "pure fire" description.
Poirot has more than 2 million YouTube subscribers and 1.7 million TikTok followers, giving him a ready audience for his heavenly claims.
