Matt Brodersen faced a wave of backlash after attempting to sell his late pastor grandfather’s possessions on eBay, just weeks after his death.

The aspiring YouTuber insists he has “no shame” in trying to profit from Charles Stanley’s death, which has only fueled the controversy further.

In a video that’s now facing heavy criticism, Brodersen admits to taking some of his grandfather’s belongings after family members were given permission to “grab some of his stuff” following his passing.

Among the items he picked out were clothing, knick-knacks, a portrait, and a pocket watch. 

The portrait of the 90-year-old Pastor has received bids of up to $1,225, while the pocket watch has reached a minimum bid of $830 on eBay store.

Charles Stanley, Brodersen’s grandfather, captivated millions during his 50-year career as a highly respected pastor. He built a massive following preaching at his megachurch in Atlanta, authored numerous books, and appeared on television and radio.

Although Brodersen admits that going through his grandfather’s possessions was “a little weird,” he claims to keep a few items, such as a cherished passport. 

However, he also revealed that he would auction off other belongings on eBay, which has sparked widespread outrage.

Many have expressed disappointment and anger at Brodersen’s actions, accusing him of disrespect and a lack of integrity. 

One fan commented, “After listening to Dr. Charles Stanley in person and through many other sources over 40 years, he became my/our Pastor.

Like a family member. In all the years listening to sermons and messages by him, I don’t think he would be proud of what is happening right now.”

Matt Brodersen has tried to justify his decision to sell the items, arguing that it would allow his grandfather’s fans to own something of his.

He even promised to include bonus items with the highest bids, such as Stanley’s coin collection featuring Jesus, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.

In response to the backlash, Brodersen maintained his stance: “I’m a human being with bills to pay, and you know how the economy is. So no, I don’t really have shame in selling his stuff… and whoever wins is going to help me pay my bills, which I desperately need right now.”

The eBay listing for the possessions also includes a defense of Brodersen’s actions, noting that family members were allowed to take some of Stanley’s belongings after his death.  

Despite the controversy, Brodersen seems determined to continue the auction, leaving many of his grandfather’s fans upset and disappointed.

Matt Brodersen is the grandson of Charles Stanley, a famous pastor, and founder of In Touch Ministries. His parents are Becky Stanley Brodersen and her husband, John Brodersen.

Matt has followed in his grandfather’s footsteps by becoming a YouTuber focusing on faith-based topics.

Matthew Brodersen, a grandson of Charles Stanley, struggled with drugs, alcohol, and depression and even contemplated suicide. A phone call from his grandfather encouraged him to give Jesus another try, ultimately saving his life.
