About this listen

They said it with a smile to appear playful.

They would call us family, so we would bind ourselves tighter, while their power sat firmly in the center.

They cried at the end of a long day, “We are the luckiest people in the world to have this job!” as we trudged back into another twelve-hour shift.

Shit My Pastor Said is a space to expose, name, and process the spiritual abuse and manipulation we’ve carried for too long. This isn’t just about venting, it’s about reclaiming.

Together we’ll:

  • Laugh at the absurdity of what was said to us.

  • Cry at the weight of what we endured.

  • Inspire one another as we move toward healing.

Because sometimes the best way to start mending wounds is by naming them out loud.
