What Pastors Wish They Could Say

from A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk into a Bar · host Randy Knie, Kyle Whitaker

Text us your questions!There's a little secret pretty much every pastor has that they can't share with their congregation. Well, actually, a number of secrets. We're not talking about dark and hidden sins (hopefully, at least). We're talking about things your pastor believes or thinks that they don't feel safe enough to share with your church. Pretty much all pastors have beliefs and opinions that they feel passionate about, but if they said them publicly, they'd worry about losing their jobs, or losing a major part of their church. So, they hold these beliefs and opinions in and pretend.We reached out to a bunch of Evangelical-ish pastors and asked them what they wish they could share with their congregations, but can't. In this episode, we share (anonymously) how these pastors responded. The responses are both fascinating and saddening. We need to do better.The bourbon we sampled is Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered Bourbon by Nevada H&C Distilling Co.The beverage tasting is at 5:33. To skip to the main segment, go to 8:44.You can find the transcript for this episode here.Content note: this episode contains profanity.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.
