Things I Should've Said with Jay Hewitt

By Jay Hewitt

This is a truly unique show. Jay is a pastor, and every week he gives a message to his church. He stands on stage and says a lot of words, and then gets off stage and thinks about all the things he should’ve said. There is always a bunch of stuff left unsaid and a bunch of stuff he wishes he didn’t say. This is a podcast for all the things that should’ve been said. It’s post-church, post-sermon, post-pastor...post-script... It isn’t a sermon – it deconstructs sermons and gives you an inside look at what goes on in the heart and mind of a pastor every week.
