Top 5 Pastor Hacks

In this episode of It Could Only Happen to a Pastor, Matt Capps and Josh Reavis share a countdown of their Top 5 “Pastor Hacks”—from the strategically deployed trailer hitch handshake to a well-timed “mic off” moment that saved a Sunday service. With plenty of laughter and some honest reflection, they swap creative (and sometimes questionable) problem-solving tactics like the escape hatch phone call, the fake thermostat, and the unforgettable “dead in a drawer” filing system. Tune in for practical (and not-so-practical) ministry hacks, good-natured humor, and a reminder to take the gospel seriously—but not yourself. If you’ve got a funny or unforgettable story of your own, we’d love to hear it!
