When the woman heard I had pastored the church she attended in the town she grew up in, she said, “Oh, I’m so sorry! Down there, they know how to make Preacher Stew!” I started laughing, and wrote the song with these lyrics the same night.
Criticizing clergy is a common enough activity in most congregations. I’ve sung this song in quite a few churches since I wrote it…but never a congregation located within six states of where I was pastoring at the time. Anyone want to guess why?
