Preacher’s Son Saw Jesus at the Pulpit…funny and true story
Posted by Steve on May 2, 2008
I heard Todd Gandy, pastor of Midway Baptist in Kershaw tell this funny story this week. He assured me that it really happened.
Before Todd became a pastor, he preached itinerantly, and he always took his family along, including his four year old son. Todd was preaching up a storm one night somewhere. It was a powerful sermon, and Todd really got wound up and red-faced.
His son told him something peculiar after the service, “Daddy, as you were preaching tonight, it looked like Jesus was attached to you.”
Todd was awed at the thought. But then his son continued, “Yeah, Daddy, it looked like he had you around the neck choking you.”
Well I don’t know about you, but that’s one sermon critique I’m not so sure I want to hear.

Too funny! I could hardly type this without further uncontrolled laughter intruding. As a minister, I sincerely understand how this preacher must have felt upom receiving the critique of a lifetime! I pray that He (the Master)has never felt(nor will ever feel) that way about anything I’ve said…
