Watch this pastor skewer himself with a cake dowel during his sermon illustration 😭

Watch this pastor skewer himself with a cake dowel during his sermon illustration 😭

This is not for the squeamish.

During a sermon on marriage, this pastor slammed a layer cake onto a table but didn't know a very pointy wooden dowel was inside.

Honestly, I have to give preacher man credit for not letting any unholy words slip out after that one.

That looked painful as heck.

Here's Protestia:

During a spirited sermon illustration with a wedding cake, he slammed it onto the table, not realizing there were skewers holding it together. He explains what happens next:

'Cindy and I spoke on "Building A Marriage" and used a wedding cake for our illustration. To close the teaching, we stressed that if we build our marriages outside of God's order… the whole cake (marriage) crashed! All went well… until I slammed the cake upside down and SURPRISINGLY DISCOVERED that the cake company had implanted a dowel inside to hold the cake layers together.

When I slammed the cake upside-down the dowel pierced through the bottom of the cake and traveled completely through my hand! When I looked down… the dowel was sticking 5 inches out the back of my hand! I immediately pulled the stick out of my hand and tried to wrap my head around what just happened!

Cindy immediately slid me a towel… I wrapped my hand, finished the message and prayed to close out the session in the next 5 minutes.'

An illustration I'm sure no one will soon forget!
