In this episode of the NotaPulpit Podcast, we dive into the hilariously human side of faith, ministry, and the moments we’re definitely not proud of. From the petty pranks we should’ve outgrown, to the struggle of feeling stuck in a purposeless season, we pull back the curtain on real life—messy, funny, frustrating, and full of grace.

Then we continue our fan-favorite series, The 7 Gnomes of Ministry, by introducing The Groaner—that one person in every ministry who can find the cloud behind every silver lining. We unpack why chronic complaining happens, how it affects the spiritual climate around us, and how to navigate ministry with a healthier mindset.

This episode blends humor, honesty, and biblical insight for anyone who’s ever fought the Sunday scaries, wrestled with calling, or dealt with that person in the church hallway.
