Sh#t My Pastor Said

A Podcast for all the crazy, inspiring and toxic things pastors have said that way too many of us have endured and carried with us for way too long.

Dedicated to healing, exposing and laughing. A podcast—to expose, name, and process the spiritual abuse and manipulation we've carried for too long.

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

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.

Things feel a little more serious this week—as we process ICE in our communities, the hypotheticals of if our kids go to church, and how we grapple with powerful practices that we once found in religious spaces.

Jake Scott joins us this week and it’s a ride. Once almost fired as a Christian radio DJ, then a pastoral intern who stayed way longer than he should have, Jake walks us through the lessons that shaped him, the people who held him, and how it all informed the way he leads his crew at Duluth Cider today. We talk about love, loss, faith, business, and what happens when you finally stop trying to be the person everyone told you to be.
Trigger warning: sexual assault is discussed near the end of the episode. **tmypastorsaid
