Smoking Meats, Church Hot Takes & Healing from Church Trauma | The Back Pew Pod - Episode 3In this special in-person episode of The Back Pew Pod, Lee and Tony dive into why grown men are obsessed with smoking meats, drop some hilarious church hot takes, and discuss how to heal from church trauma.After surviving a sketchy transaction at the local Chinese buffet, we sit down to answer the real questions: Why do middle-aged men make smoking brisket and WWII history their entire personality? We debate the merits of butcher paper vs. aluminum foil for the perfect bark, share our "advanced techniques" for falling asleep during a sermon (master the "frown and the bob"), and drop a few church hot takes about thermostats and bulletins.On a more serious note, Lee opens up about his upcoming 90-day devotional book, Shattered Sanctuaries (dropping June 1st). We discuss the reality of spiritual abuse, the dangers of doctrinally sound but emotionally unhealthy churches, and how we can support those deconstructing or recovering from religious trauma.⏳ Chapters / Timestamps:0:00 - Intro, Live from the Studio & The Chinese Buffet Scam3:55 - Why Do Grown Men Obsess Over Smoking Meats & WWII?10:30 - BBQ Secrets: Butcher Paper vs. Aluminum Foil17:15 - "Flirting for Jesus" & Gas Station Diet Choices24:00 - Church Hot Takes: Thermostats & Unread Bulletins31:10 - Advanced Techniques for Falling Asleep in Church38:20 - Doctrinally Sound but Emotionally Unhealthy Churches43:00 - Church Trauma & Lee's New Book: Shattered Sanctuaries🔗 📖 Pre-order Lee's new book Shattered Sanctuaries (Out June 1st): https://amzn.to/49cD8XF📱 Follow The Back Pew Pod: Facebook: @TheBackPewPod Instagram: @TheBackPewPod(Submit your funny Christian videos to us! -- [email protected])Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you never miss an episode!#TheBackPewPod #ChurchTrauma #ChristianPodcast #SmokingMeat #ChurchHumor
