Shit My Pastor Said

Greg Boyd is known for a lot important things. Theologian, pastor, professor, heavy metal drummer ...happy for him. What he WILL be known for is his debut on Shit My Pastor Said. I imagine people will be pushing each other into bushes to be the first amongst their peers to shout "Isn't that Greg Boyd from the Sauter Pod??!!!!!!" Rumors are true friends, Greg Boyd joined us to talk non-violent response, hope for the future church, why he struggles with his double bass kicks, and some pretty amazing wisdom on being kind. Greg is one of our mentors and heroes, and we are so excited for you to meet him for yourself.

Special Guest Kyle Marxhausen shares his stories from being a PK in a charismatic church. There may or may not be a leg that grows out of nowhere.

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.

Santa gives the announcements at church—cause he's Christian now!

Who doesn't love a good church conference? The lanyards. The merch tables. The worship team that definitely rehearsed for 19 hours straight. And of course, prophecy hour, where you find out just how well you REALLY hear from God, or whether you are just guessing with confidence. In this episode, we dive into the conference culture so many of us grew up in: ➡️ The prophetic hot seat moments ➡️ The spiritual competition no one admits is happening ➡️ The one person everyone collectively eye rolls at (you know EXACTLY who we mean) ➡️ And the question beneath it all: What were we actually looking for at these events ➡️ And can we find that longing anywhere else, somewhere healthier, kinder, or maybe just less dramatic? If you have ever attended a church conference, survived one, or escaped one, this episode is for you. Pull up a chair and laugh and cry with us as we unpack the wild world of conferences, the ways they shape us, and the deeper desires we carried into those spaces.
