My pastor is an attractive woman that looks half her age and next to the Catholic Church has the largest congregation and church attendance in our community. She is the mother of five and a grandmother of three. Some of us think our increase in attendance is because she has probably the finest sermon and looks like a total 10 in a dress. She spends about 50 hours a week doing the work of the church, volunteers at the food pantry and reads to the children at the library on Saturday's. For all of this they pay her well.

She drives a Mustang GT, has purple hair.

She is probably packing a pistol anytime you see her, even while preaching. She once said in an exaggerated way "I'll be damned if anyone is coming into my church and shooting the place up." We all got the humor. And since most of the people in church have guns they are okay with it. The church is an open carry/conceal carry friendly church.

When you visit her house she is likely to offer you some Mike's hard lemonade and home made apple pie. If her husband is home you may find yourself sitting on the front porch drinking some Tennessee Honey or Apple Pie moonshine. She is down to earth and never acts like she is too good or "holier than thou."

When I introduced myself to the Catholic Priest and mentioned her, he said without hesitation, "She is a lover of God."

When I think of all of this I truly feel blessed to have her as my pastor, but even more so, to have her as my wife.

What is your pastor like?

Where do I have to go hear her sermon and see her?

If you do not live within close proximity she will tell you to find a church in your area and be involved there.

She follows the "New American Testament" - you know, the one that says: "Turn the other cheek. Then take a deep breath... and gently pull the trigger"!

What’s mine like? Nothing like that! Maybe I’d attend more regularly if he were.

A female pastor?

Certainly not biblical.

My pastor is a man...so he's at least biblical in that regard. Beyond that he's very faithful to the text of scripture so I'm thankful for him.

My pastor had an interesting trip to the podium. After discharge from the Army Rangers, he went into law enforcement, eventually ending up with the DEA. There he spent 10 years in Columbia as an agent, and one year in New York undercover with the Mafia. After 20 years he retired, became sheriff in an Arizona county. At one point he had a heart attack and died, had a near death experience and came back. That persuaded him to go into the ministry. He still carries, even on Sunday. When it's time to preach, he bounds up onto the stage like a 20 year old. He's over 80 years old, with no sign of slowing down.

My Pastor was a former U.S. Army tank commander graduating from the Citadel
Delivers outstanding "expository" sermons straight from the Bible.
Studied in Holland and took a Dutch church for 10 years.
Never wanted a church larger that 500 congregants where he could minister personally to his members.
We planted 4 new churches in the area.

What's not biblical about preaching the gospel?

You must live in la-la land

Nothing.
What's not biblical is having a woman be a pastor. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard this...right?
