The Dumb Saints Guide to Christian Dating

The Biggest Problem with Church? Church People.

Church People. We've all met them... and if we're honest, we've probably been them. In this episode of The Dumb Saints, we share some of the wildest, funniest, and most frustrating encounters we've had with "church people"—the kind who make following church culture seem more important than following Jesus. From ridiculous criticism to judgmental attitudes, we swap stories from our own lives and from people we know who were hurt by religious behavior. But this isn't just a rant. We dig into why Jesus reserved some of His strongest words for the Pharisees and what their hypocrisy can teach the Church today. Are we helping people find Christ, or are we putting unnecessary obstacles in their way? If you've ever been burned by church people, struggled with religious legalism, or just need a reminder that Jesus didn't come to build a club for the self-righteous, this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Follow The Dumb Saints wherever you get your podcasts, and join the conversation as we tackle the messy, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable realities of following Jesus.
