The Awkward Pastor(Ep. #16) Angels Don't Smoke: Hollywood vs. HeavenThis is a installment in a periodical series called 90's Movies That Made God Cringe.Hollywood cast John Travolta as a chain-smoking, beer-drinking archangel… so we brought that hot mess to the podcast, opened the Scriptures, and asked, “Okay, but what are real angels actually like?” Spoiler: they’re not divorced mall Santas in trench coats — they’re holy, terrifying, battle-tested servants of God who don’t quote The Beatles between smoke breaks.

The Awkward Pastor(Ep. #13) Bombhunters Anonymous: Confessions of a Route Clearance PatrolA Veterans Day Special TRIGGER WARNING: The content therein discusses real war trauma, has sounds from an actual firefight, and may be disturbing for some.You don’t look for God the same way when you’re driving five miles an hour through Baghdad, scanning for bombs that could erase you in a blink. You don’t pray politely when a sniper round passes close enough to heat your skin. And you don’t talk about faith as theory when the next corner might be your last.This episode of The Awkward Pastor is a raw...

The Awkward Pastor(Ep. #10) Live Q and A with Undercover Matt From Ep. #9Ever feel like you’re holding it together in church… but one honest moment away from unraveling? If you’ve been to the edge—and God pulled you back—this one’s for you.This episode is a LIVE Q&A follow-up with Undercover Matt—the undercover police officer featured in Episode 9, one of our heaviest conversations yet.

The Awkward Pastor(Ep. #4) Serial Killers Who Professed Christ, Part 2If you’ve ever heard a story so dark you thought, “God can’t reach that,” this episode is going to confront you—in the most necessary way.In this episode of The Awkward Pastor, we wrestle with one of the most uncomfortable questions in faith and real life: Can the grace of Jesus Christ truly redeem someone like David Berkowitz—the “Son of Sam”? Not as shock value, and not as a theological stunt, but as a gut-check for authentic Christianity. Because the real scandal of grace isn’t that God forgives respectable sinners—it’s that He forgives the k...

And if He can… what does that reveal about our understanding of grace?Brandon and Tim sit down with investigator Eric Smith, a veteran of nearly 20 years in criminal justice, to explore j...

The Awkward Pastor(Ep. #1) Shut Your Mouth, Guy!What is so urgent that as soon as Sister Betty leaves the sanctuary… she heads straight to the phone? And why does Brother Todd somehow know more about your life than you do?In this very first episode of The Awkward Pastor, Brandon and Tim go after one of the most tolerated sins in church culture—and call it what the Bible calls it: devilish. Gossip isn’t harmless chatter. It’s verbal arson. It burns trust, fractures friendships, divides churches, and grieves the Holy Spirit… all while everyone laughs and calls it “fellowship.”
