Here's a good story for you..........one Sunday morning during church service, we had this older guy with false teeth that sat near the front pew on the aisle, and he sneezed during the service and his teeth came out! He gets up during the preacher preaching and got his teeth and the pastor lost it......started laughing and soon the congregation (about 60) started laughing with him. I'm 60 and this was when I was about 12 maybe. I'll never forget that Sunday!
We had a line of members going through the line up to shake hands with the new church members and those who just got saved who were lined up near the pulpit. One elderly man was just saved and had recently lost a lot of weight. In the midst of this his pants fell to the floor. Without skipping a beat he reached down and pulled them up and continued shaking hands without a word about it.
I am a 65 yr old full blooded Baptist. This is the greatest podcast I've ever seen. I can relate to every bit of this. Keep up the great work. Great to see Christians laughing and having a good time.
We had communion service last Easter and our pastor sent his son in that morning for grape juice. Well, he couldn't find any so he bought a Grapico. Unfortunately, our pastor didn't think to tell anyone in the church until we call kicked back that little cup of Grapico.
What timeframe was your dad using those brands? I have never heard of either. I am proud to hear that some good memories were brought back! God bless you, friend.
@@Haydenalabamapodcast 80,s&90,s, there was an old store in Bragg's ok with a pot bellied stove they all gathered round, and chewed and spit that old man that owned the store carried them brands for my daddy. They also had bull of the woods and happy days God bless

I was 6 years old in 1972. My dad dipped Copenhagen back in those days. Naturally, I wanted to be a man like him, so I asked him if I could try it one day. We had just got into his pickup and were on our way out to the farm (about a 10 minute drive from our house in town). He handed me the snuff can, and I put a little pinch between my cheek and gum - just like Walt Garrison said in those TV commercials back then. We were bouncing along down those old dirt roads, and I was building up a mouthful of Copenhagen-infused man juice. Dad kept offering me the use of his spit cup, but I had the idea that real men didn’t need to spit it out. But it eventually got to the point where I was either gonna drown or spit or swallow a big mouthful of tobacco juice. I swallowed it. Shortly thereafter, things started to get a little hazy for me. I remember when we got to the farm and Dad stopped on the turn row to get out and move some irrigation pipe in the cotton field. I got out and spit everything out of my mouth. He handed me his water jug and told me to rinse out my mouth. I got that accomplished, barely. I was about as green as a 6 year old man could be. I didn’t puke, but I don’t know how I didn’t. I laid down in the seat of his pickup while he moved the pipe. I don’t know what all he did. I don’t remember anything else until it was dark and he shook me awake in our driveway back at the house in town. I never dipped again. To this day, 52 years later, the smell of Copenhagen turns my stomach. Heck, even seeing the Copenhagen sign on your wall there makes me a little uncomfortable. 😂😂😂

My grandmother dipped snuff till the day she died RR mills..I grew it and chewed Garrett for many years,Grew brightleaf tobacco until the buyout in the 90s.
My daddy was a Baptist pastor when I was a youngun. There was a little special needs feller (who was bad to cuss) and he always wanted to sing on Sunday morning. His Mama told my Daddy not to let him, because she didn't know what he might say. One Sunday morning, he asked Daddy if he could sing, and daddy told him if he promised not to cuss,he could sing and he asked him what he wanted to sing. He promised he wouldn't cuss and said he wanted to sing "Do Lord". Daddy called him up after the choir sung and said "Eddie's got a song on his heart this morning " Eddie proceeded to belt out "My ding-a-ling,my ding-a-ling,want you play with my ding-a-ling" My daddy turned white as a sheet ,Eddie's mama run up and grabbed him by the ear and said "I told you not to let him sing Preacher!!"... Eddie didn't get to sing anymore 😂
Boys I’m so proud I saw your show on TH-cam. I left southeast Missouri for Wyoming in the early 80”s. I had my tail tore up several times by my Dad in the parking lot at Church. I tell people out here at Church about washing feet and Brush Arbor services. They look at me like I got 2 heads. Oh I miss those times and all the characters I knew.
Also, My Great Aunt Lizzie in mountains of Eastern Kentucky, She was in her 70s we would head from Lexington to the mountains on friday nights, get to her house at midnight or later and off to bed. Next morning (Saturday mornings in the 70's) she would be in front of the TV watching Wrestling, coffee can by her, big chaw in her mouth, bad mouthing the bad guys and talking to the good guys on the TV. She was a hoot. Always had a chaw of tobacco.
@@shanethomas7177 It was such a smaller production. Seemed more real. Jerry The King Lawler, Billy Superstar Dundee, CoCo B Ware, Leaping Lanny and Randy Macho Man Savage (brothers). Both worked out in the same gym we worked out in back then. Last Wrestling story, back in the 50s: Gorgeous George, Dick the Bruiser (group back then), was in Letcher County KY depot for a wrestling match. My Great Uncle Roe (Lizzie's husband) was the sheriff of that area. Anyway after the event was over at closing, Dick the Bruiser would always get in the ring, would ask for any takers to wrestle and if they could last 3 minutes in the ring with him he would give them $50 dollars. My Uncle was a tall man, stepped over the top rope in full Sheriff gear, took him up on it, Dick rushed him, my Uncle pulled his pistol and pistol whipped him, knocked him out cold. When he woke back my, there was Uncle Roe, asking for is $50 dollars. Dick said, No way you cheated. My uncle Roe said, how am I cheating, you all hit each other with chairs, tables, belts and other stuff. It is not cheating. Dick did not want to pay, Uncle Roe said fine, got out the cuffs and was going to arrest him. End of the story, Roe was paid, wrestling never came back to Letcher County KY. lol
Boys, this is the first time I've seen y'all and I really enjoyed this. Even when I wasn't laughing I still had a smile on my face throughout this. Thanks for sharing.
I live in Dadeville, Alabama and God wanted me to quit smoking so the elders of the church prayed over me and I didn’t want to quit but God ain’t the person I want to disappoint son 6 yrs smoke free God can do anything
It was pure joy to laugh my way through this podcast! I pastor a Baptist church out in the upcountry of South Carolina, just across the Tugaloo River from Northeast Georgia. I can so identify with these preachers and their stories as I've been an old country preacher for over 30 years now. As I listened I recalled similar people and their stories from my own years of ministry. Oh the stories we can tell! God bless you for sharing this special time with these special people.
Growing up a preachers kid, I think I have more of these stories from being drug to funeral homes, hospitals, revivals, and church services. Dad was pastoring a church and during revival we had went home to eat with one of the deacons. His wife had made an old fashion strawberry cake that alone could put you in a diabetic coma. They also had homemade strawberry ice cream. We had no more finished eating when I hear call 911, brother so and so (he was only like 31) is having a heart attack. Turns out a wedge of the strawberry cake and three bowels of ice cream had spiked his blood sugar so much and caused indigestion. At the time it was scary, but now it’s a laugh til tears.
This was funny 😂my husband has pastored for 20 years and we have some stories too…. 😂 … different denomination but I think we all have funny stories ..
Guys we were helping a deacon in the church house his fathers tobacco. I was about 12. Had been housing tobacco for a few years, big for my age. Well the deacons father (farm we are on) had a large 5 bent barn and we filled it in a very long day, spent the night and got up the next day. I told my dad I wanted to try a chew and Mr Mitchell heard me, walked to the door, pulled a green leaf corner off and told me to chew it. Sick for a few days. Burnt me up as well. He at the same time pulled him on piece off green and chewed it for hours. Was a tough old man. lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I sang in a gospel group for 25 yrs. We were in approx. 60-70 venues a year, mostly in small town churches throughout the SE. These stories really bring back great memories.
Gentlemen, I've flat enjoyed watching this. I'm a Baptist preacher and my daddy was a Baptist preacher. This brought back a lot of good and funny memories. God bless ya'll.
Please have the preacher back on and demonstrate his snuff can Bob white call! I love hearing these guys talk about funny things in church. Love your podcast in Texas
Wow. Such a good one.. my daddy was an old time Baptist preacher. And these stories sure took me back to my childhood. Especially about the preacher and family going to the congregations house for dinner on sundays. My momma didn't like going somewhere to eat where there were animals in the house and she told my daddy several times if so and so invite us. Just tell em we wanna take them out to eat so when that day happened. My daddy told em. We had already planned on visiting somewhere else. How bout the next Sunday. So mid way thru the week my momma made my daddy call and tell them we wanted to take them out for lunch they had 2 small kids and the woman was pregnant so he used the excuse. That they didn't wanna put all that extra work on the young mother. Then Sunday rolled around and that family brought her parents and his larents and his brother and his wife and kid to church and they all went to lunch. My daddy aggravated my momma forever about how her weak stomach with having animals in the house and not eating with them. Cost us a weeks pay for sunday lunch. Lol. Hadnt thought of that in years. Thanks for such Blessings listening to ur podcasts bring me
Pretty sure the squirrel revival song came from our church .. a flying squirrel got in our church thru an open window in the pastors study . I was only 5-6 years old laying under the bench my dad sat on in the deacons corner .. I rolled over and was eye ball to giant eye with the squirrel.. man I shot out from under there and that squirrel ran down the wall towards the back of the church and folks started jumping up and running around … preacher never missed a beat … One of Ray Steven’s cousins went to our church … he had to get that from that night
@@keithmatthews3750 Wow! Thank you for sharing this story! I can just see it unfolding🤣 I love that the preacher kept rollin down the track like nothing was going on and someone was still listening to him🤩
Going back to the kid that sung in church…I heard a little girl get up and sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” and it was the FUNNIEST thing I had ever witnessed!
A funny story: we were singing in the mountains of North Carolina at a small Southern Baptist Homecoming. The service was going well, and the people were enjoying the Bluegrass Gospel Music we were singing and performing. About 45 minutes into the service, the Pastor stood up and interrupted "Boys, this is a great service and y'all doing some great picking and singing, but its time for a smoke break!" About half the congregation went out for a church smoke break with the Pastor...😂 About 10 minutes later they all.came in, we finished the service and went and ate lunch. We still laugh over that Sunday
We still have Day and Night services starting Saturday night then go through to the next Sunday morning with Baptism. All MEN and Women ( well none of us women work , from the time we get married we stay home) take off work and are at every service. Most wonderful week of the year!! We Baptist.
I was the middle of 7 kids and my dad was our Pastor and now my brother is our Pastor. I do have to say all 7 of us were good kids. If you ask any teacher or Principal about us Farris kids you wouldn’t hear anything but praise about us. I say this because I was proud of that fact and you know I always tried to think before I did anything would it make Daddy and Mama ashamed of us and that kept me straight. NOT PERFECT, but we tried hard to never do anything we were afraid of them finding out. Now we could pick on each other and joke around, still do and I just turned 59 and again I am the middle one but man we all live within a mile of my mom and dads place and we love and would do anything for each other!!!! We lost daddy in 2016 and mama last May and I don’t care how old you are we sure miss this them too. Mama would cook for us all on Sundays for years and we still would go out there every other Sunday and take food and eat until Covid 😢 and now they are gone.
Sitting at home today and your podcast came up with the tales of the preachers! Raised as a PK I watched and laughed remembering happenings of my childhood and church folks! Thanks for sharing!
God bless you all! I just happened across your program and I laughed and laughed along with you till it was over & I have to say I enjoyed it so much. Hope to hear you again.
I loved all of the stories, but the two that stuck with me were the collection plate at the funeral and the hog with rabies. 😂😂😂 OH! Make that three! The one where you kids were between the bushes and stained-glass Church windows screaming about doo-doo! 😂. And the one where...awwww, shoot. I loved them all! Thanks, Guys. I sure miss Alabama.
You guys are so funny 😂, I enjoyed watching. My grandmother dipped snuff, it was so nasty looking 😅. I've been to Darrell's chuch for singings and he has been to the church I used to go to before we had to close it, Locust Fork Church of God, someone else has it now. My husband, Curtis and I go to Shady Grove Church in Mt. Olive now, we love it. Yall keep up the good work.
I worked with Johnny for a few years, he also worked with my dad, grandfather and 2 cousins. I currently work with Andrew, and Johnny's son in law worked with us too, but no longer does. Johnny is a great man and still stops by the shop from time to time
I'm a pk a d I have a lot of story's. My granny dipped buttercup snuff. She would give me money to walk to store to buy her snuff. She said lf I ran into the preacher just buy a loaf of bread. The store was across the street from the church. I'm 57 so then you could buy it,
I had some family on my grandmother's side there was a preacher that came to stay with em too preach and they were gonna do a foot washing and the kids got the preachers socks and filled em with ash from the fire place and he didnt find out till he got to church and took his socks off😅😅😅
So y'all are foot washing Baptist, too?? Not a lot of us left. Enjoyed these stories! Reminds me of our little old mountain church and stories that I have heard from the old timers. Thanks for sharing!
@@shanethomas7177 What about “4 Note Singin’”? AKA Sacred Harp? We don’t sing it at our church, but a few in our Association do. We love for them to come visit our church and sing some of them old songs.
I was in my 20’s working lock and dam hanging forms in well over 100 degree temperatures. A guy I was working with gave me a big dip of wintergreen skoal. About 15 minutes later I started feeling funny. I looked off across the horizon and when I stopped bouncing on the 4’ wrench the trees in the horizon was still bouncing. I never dipped again.
Im a PK. When i was about 8 i had heard Bro Bullock talk about how his grown daughter was afraid of frogs. She always sat in front of me in service. 1 Sunday i gote a frog and when the invitation was given I put it down baxk of her dress. I has never seen grown person scream and jump like that. Lol
@@jerryalbert9784 Some of the stories from my professors real life experiences taught me very powerful and beneficial lessons that I have applied to my ministry.
When I was in Jr. High in the late 60's, I was all dressed up in my mini skirt and pantyhose, nice shoes, etc. My mom invited my great aunt to ride along when she dropped me off at the school. My great aunt was in her 80's, little thing that looked like mammy yokum from the lil' Abner comic strip. She was a spunky little pentecostal about 4'6" tall with no teeth, so you never saw her lips. But you sure did see that line of liquid chewing tobacco streaming down the corners of her little wrinkled mouth .... nasty habit! Well we had a 2 door car and of course Aunt Josie got the front seat and I sat in back as she accompanied us to the Jr. High. My mom pulled into the drop-off area, aunt Josie opened the door and leaned forward to let me exit from the back seat. I stepped out of the car and just before closing that front door, aunt Josie spit a big wad of that tobacco onto the asphalt where I was standing. That slimy black nasty smelling stuff splashed a big puddle in that driveway and all over the back of my leg and panty hose! I hated snuff already, but I had a special hatred for it from that day forward.
I had an uncle that always had a wad of BeechNut in his jaw! I thought it was tough looking so I put a wad in my cheek as a young man and boy I turned green and sick as a dog! The last BeechNut for me!
Not going to lie my mom told me and showed me the cigarettes sit there Smoke the hole pack I sat there smoked the hole damn thing and then she joined in that’s how I was addicted to cigarettes lol 😂 then I quit all before I went to college

Best line of the show, ‘The Lord made a way.’ 😂😂
With my hand raised in the air!😂
I’d love to hear that gentleman in the white shirt preach, he’s true old school.👍🙏
He can do it, not many folks like to get their toes stepped on. 😂

Wow. Such a good one.. my daddy was an old time Baptist preacher. And these stories sure took me back to my childhood. Especially about the preacher and family going to the congregations house for dinner on sundays. My momma didn't like going somewhere to eat where there were animals in the house and she told my daddy several times if so and so invite us. Just tell em we wanna take them out to eat so when that day happened. My daddy told em. We had already planned on visiting somewhere else. How bout the next Sunday. So mid way thru the week my momma made my daddy call and tell them we wanted to take them out for lunch they had 2 small kids and the woman was pregnant so he used the excuse. That they didn't wanna put all that extra work on the young mother. Then Sunday rolled around and that family brought her parents and his larents and his brother and his wife and kid to church and they all went to lunch. My daddy aggravated my momma forever about how her weak stomach with having animals in the house and not eating with them. Cost us a weeks pay for sunday lunch. Lol. Hadnt thought of that in years. Thanks for such Blessings listening to ur podcasts bring me
glad we could help rekindle these memories for you, thanks for sharing this story!
Man I really enjoyed listening to this. Reminds me of my friends, family and neighbors. Yall boys keep up the good work
Jack, thanks for the kind words and encouragement! We are proud that you enjoyed the show.
Pretty sure the squirrel revival song came from our church .. a flying squirrel got in our church thru an open window in the pastors study . I was only 5-6 years old laying under the bench my dad sat on in the deacons corner .. I rolled over and was eye ball to giant eye with the squirrel.. man I shot out from under there and that squirrel ran down the wall towards the back of the church and folks started jumping up and running around … preacher never missed a beat …
One of Ray Steven’s cousins went to our church … he had to get that from that night
@@keithmatthews3750 Wow! Thank you for sharing this story! I can just see it unfolding🤣 I love that the preacher kept rollin down the track like nothing was going on and someone was still listening to him🤩
That’s a good story!!
This is solid gold
@@2daysoffproductions887 Thank you very much! We appreciate this encouragment💯
We appreciate you!
This podcast is working their way up!!!
Salty! Good to see you again. As always, we appreciate the view and encouragement!
You would be hard pressed to find a better story teller than a Southern Baptist Preacher!
Going back to the kid that sung in church…I heard a little girl get up and sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” and it was the FUNNIEST thing I had ever witnessed!
The kids will surprise you!
@@narrowgaming7230 Did they let that sweet girl finish the song?
My mother had a little girl in VBS get up and sing "Harper Valley PTA"!
@@ramonasmith7743 Hilarious!🤣
A funny story: we were singing in the mountains of North Carolina at a small Southern Baptist Homecoming. The service was going well, and the people were enjoying the Bluegrass Gospel Music we were singing and performing.
About 45 minutes into the service, the Pastor stood up and interrupted "Boys, this is a great service and y'all doing some great picking and singing, but its time for a smoke break!"
About half the congregation went out for a church smoke break with the Pastor...😂
About 10 minutes later they all.came in, we finished the service and went and ate lunch. We still laugh over that Sunday
Priorities 😂
We still have Day and Night services starting Saturday night then go through to the next Sunday morning with Baptism. All MEN and Women ( well none of us women work , from the time we get married we stay home) take off work and are at every service. Most wonderful week of the year!! We Baptist.
I was the middle of 7 kids and my dad was our Pastor and now my brother is our Pastor. I do have to say all 7 of us were good kids. If you ask any teacher or Principal about us Farris kids you wouldn’t hear anything but praise about us. I say this because I was proud of that fact and you know I always tried to think before I did anything would it make Daddy and Mama ashamed of us and that kept me straight. NOT PERFECT, but we tried hard to never do anything we were afraid of them finding out. Now we could pick on each other and joke around, still do and I just turned 59 and again I am the middle one but man we all live within a mile of my mom and dads place and we love and would do anything for each other!!!! We lost daddy in 2016 and mama last May and I don’t care how old you are we sure miss this them too. Mama would cook for us all on Sundays for years and we still would go out there every other Sunday and take food and eat until Covid 😢 and now they are gone.
That’s commitment!
Sitting at home today and your podcast came up with the tales of the preachers! Raised as a PK I watched and laughed remembering happenings of my childhood and church folks! Thanks for sharing!

I loved all of the stories, but the two that stuck with me were the collection plate at the funeral and the hog with rabies. 😂😂😂 OH! Make that three! The one where you kids were between the bushes and stained-glass Church windows screaming about doo-doo! 😂. And the one where...awwww, shoot. I loved them all! Thanks, Guys. I sure miss Alabama.

Good folks! Thanks for watching👍🏻
One of the best, no doubt.
I'm a pk a d I have a lot of story's. My granny dipped buttercup snuff. She would give me money to walk to store to buy her snuff. She said lf I ran into the preacher just buy a loaf of bread. The store was across the street from the church. I'm 57 so then you could buy it,
@@ceciliabryant2941 That’s hilarious! Just gettin’ a loaf of bread, preacher🤣
Don’t want to let the preacher know. 😂
The Bob White whistle sounds like a great VBS craft....lol!
If we can find a bunch of the snuff cans. 😂
@@patmotley7457 The kids would love it bit we would have to send em home pretty quick after the project was completed
I had some family on my grandmother's side there was a preacher that came to stay with em too preach and they were gonna do a foot washing and the kids got the preachers socks and filled em with ash from the fire place and he didnt find out till he got to church and took his socks off😅😅😅
Really needed them feet washed after that!😂

Thanks for sharing!
Glad you could relate to the stories and find some humor in them. Thank you for watching the show!
It’s not very popular nowadays but there’s a few of us still around.
@@shanethomas7177 What about “4 Note Singin’”? AKA Sacred Harp? We don’t sing it at our church, but a few in our Association do. We love for them to come visit our church and sing some of them old songs.
And where is this? We are in Chilton County … we still wash feet too!! Didn’t know there was more around anymore
@@wandafrmbama5803 We are in Jackson County and there are some other churches in Dekalb that are in our Association.

@@Haydenalabamapodcast yessir!
I was in my 20’s working lock and dam hanging forms in well over 100 degree temperatures. A guy I was working with gave me a big dip of wintergreen skoal. About 15 minutes later I started feeling funny. I looked off across the horizon and when I stopped bouncing on the 4’ wrench the trees in the horizon was still bouncing. I never dipped again.
That makes for a long day at work!
Where’s big eyed Pastor Robin I miss his stories!?!?!
Mamaw dipped Rose, in them purty dranking glasses. Got mosta the fine china and glassware that way, or outta washing powder boxes.
Sure miss mamas!
@@shanethomas7177 and JD Vance's mamaw!
Im a PK. When i was about 8 i had heard Bro Bullock talk about how his grown daughter was afraid of frogs. She always sat in front of me in service. 1 Sunday i gote a frog and when the invitation was given I put it down baxk of her dress. I has never seen grown person scream and jump like that. Lol
You done brought in a spirit! 😂😂
@@elizabethbullard7231 Hilarious! But I do have a question…Why did you choose this exact moment to enact your plan?
Both my Maw Maw's dipped Garrent in the brown jar. They dipped a tablespoon at a time till they passed away.
Growing up a southern baptist minister son and grandson in MS a lot of these stories sound familiar lol
They cross many boundaries 😂
Dr. Mark Cambron used to regal us at Florida Bible College with tales of his time at Tennessee Temple.
@@jerryalbert9784 Some of the stories from my professors real life experiences taught me very powerful and beneficial lessons that I have applied to my ministry.
I’d like to hear a few of them.
Yall are welcome
Brother Darrell is a fine man
Yessir! Thanks for watching
This is truth.
“You want me to tell it?” Like Bro. Johnny has ever asked permission to tell a good story. 😂
Just being sure😂
They need to have Mark Lowry on their podcast 😅
He would be a good one to share stories with!
My grandmother was a snuff dipper. I can still see her with her can of CC Snuff and a small Clorox jug she carried to spit in if she was inside.
She was born in 1922

We had royal Rangers
Good times!
When I was in Jr. High in the late 60's, I was all dressed up in my mini skirt and pantyhose, nice shoes, etc. My mom invited my great aunt to ride along when she dropped me off at the school. My great aunt was in her 80's, little thing that looked like mammy yokum from the lil' Abner comic strip. She was a spunky little pentecostal about 4'6" tall with no teeth, so you never saw her lips. But you sure did see that line of liquid chewing tobacco streaming down the corners of her little wrinkled mouth .... nasty habit! Well we had a 2 door car and of course Aunt Josie got the front seat and I sat in back as she accompanied us to the Jr. High. My mom pulled into the drop-off area, aunt Josie opened the door and leaned forward to let me exit from the back seat. I stepped out of the car and just before closing that front door, aunt Josie spit a big wad of that tobacco onto the asphalt where I was standing. That slimy black nasty smelling stuff splashed a big puddle in that driveway and all over the back of my leg and panty hose! I hated snuff already, but I had a special hatred for it from that day forward.
Not on the first day of school!
@@shanethomas7177 I don't recall if it was the first day, but it certainly was a memorable day!
@@MrsBaird-gf1rx Great story! Thank you for taking the time to share it with us👍🏻
Yeah, it's my dog😂😂😂😂😂
That was one bad dog 😂
A whooping on the front step? I had 4 or 5 of them. And what hurt worse than the whooping was having to go back inside.
Them feelings be tore smooth up going back in them doors. 😂
We had Royal Ambassadors also.. man I thought that was only our church.. girls had GA also.. great stories guys

The Bible says baptism has to be done in the name of Jesus to get to heaven read
I am familiar with John 3:16 and Romans 10:9-10. Which verses in the Bible are you referring to?
