Looks like no one ever told Derick Dillard not to feed the Internet trolls. The Counting On cast member got riled up again on social media this week after fans suggested that he doesn’t have a real job.
The trouble started when Dillard tweeted out an innocuous verse from Proverbs about valuing wisdom over money. But when a fan replied, “Got a job yet?” the exchange became less than biblical.
