Each round, two outrageous church takes go head-to-head.

* gasp
* laugh out loud
* rethink your entire youth group experience

Trust us… some of these are bats**t crazy.

And if you’ve ever sat in a sermon thinking

In this week’s episode, we talk why churches can’t use the word Halloween when they’re clearly throwing a Halloween party, Kris’s disdain for video game parties, and the one event that has our couple dozen followers all jacked up about competing against s**tty theological ideas.

Valentines Day is complicated. Throw in some evagnicalism and you have yourself some trauma and one hell of a podcast episode. We discuss indecent theology, the steamy Song of Songs, why we cringe at sexual terms we don’t understand and the glorious world of the pg loophole when we were 13 years old.

Valentine’s Day can be a weird time at a church.

Song of Solomon is dusted off and rediscovered, an associate pastor gets assigned to preach about “self-sex”, single people’s sexuality is ignored while married couples’ sexuality is suddenly on display. We’ve seen it get weird and want to hear your stories as we process and make fun of all the s**t that’s been said!

Share your stories of the s**t a pastor/church has said to you in the past—we’re recording this week! We’ll only use first names—and if you want to stay totally anonymous, just say the word. Discretion fully honored. DM us or send us a message at s**tmypastorsaid.com

Special Guest Kyle Marxhausen shares his stories from being a pastor’s kid in a charismatic church. There may or may not be a leg that grows out of nowhere.

Protests are meant to make us feel something. For some, it was rage: “People were just trying to worship.” For others, confusion: “Why not wait until the service was over and talk privately with the pastor?” And for many, it was deep discomfort or an unexpected sense of belonging as the videos spread online.

In this episode, the Sauter Bros unpack why protests in church spaces hit such a nerve, how whiteness often demands a particular kind of response, and why the comforting myth that equitable change happens politely around conference tables keeps us stuck.
