The Pastors Who Cancelled Christmas S1Ep7
from The Bad Pastors Podcast · host Bob Hyatt
This week, on Bad Pastors, a very special Christmas episode… the true story of what happened when well-meaning, deeply serious pastors decided that Christmas was unbiblical, disorderly, and far too joyful to be trusted. In 17th-century England, sermons turned into policies, policies turned into bans, and before long, pastors had officially cancelled Christmas nationwide. What followed were riots, protests, soldiers in the streets, and angry citizens demanding the return of pudding. This isn’t a story about greed or scandal or secret sin. It’s a story about conviction without wisdom, holiness without joy, and what happens when leaders confuse seriousness with faithfulness. Grab your eggnog, sing quietly if you must, and join us for the year pastors banned Christmas—and accidentally started a rebellion.
