‘It Could Only Happen to a Pastor’: New podcast highlights humorous side of ministry

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A microphone left on in the bathroom.

A baptism that didn’t quite go as planned.

A child saying the worst possible thing at the worst possible time.

If you’ve spent any time in pastoral ministry, you know that some moments are sacred, some are serious and some are simply unforgettable.

That’s the heart behind a new podcast titled “It Could Only Happen to a Pastor,” launched this week by the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and hosted by Southern Baptist pastors Matt Capps and Josh Reavis. The show invites listeners into the hilarious, awkward and “did that really happen?” moments that come with shepherding a local church.
