Speaker 1 (00:00):
Buckle up, hold on tight, We got it for you.
Here it here's a straw every letter. All right, this
is another crazy one, another crazy one. Subject disrespectful senior citizen.
Good morning, Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty two year
old pastor with somewhat of an issue. My wife and
I are happily married and we have the typical issues
like the next couple. Here's the situation. There is one

(00:21):
particular lady in my church who really freaks me out
and rubbed my wife the wrong way. I try to
avoid contact with this woman because she often says stuff
like come here and let me feel on you, or
come here and let grandma Grandma make you feel good.
This lady is in her eighties, but she doesn't have

(00:43):
any limits. She sometimes will randomly stop by the job
and bring me lunch or offered to take me to lunch.
Not only that her actions are more than words, she
has actually touched me inappropriately several times. She is very
rude to my wife at church. She will say say

(01:03):
things to my wife like you need you need me
to teach you how to take care of a man,
or do you need me to cook for you, pastor
do you need me to cook for pastor. My wife
has told me that when she calls our house, she
doesn't even speak to her, but instead we'll just ask
to speak to me. Now, my wife isn't as saved
as I am, and she has come close to confronting

(01:25):
this woman. I don't want this situation to get more
out of control than it is. Now, how do you
think I should handle this? I don't want to look
like a week pastor, nor do I want my wife
to catch a case behind this old lady. Okay, are
you sure this woman is in her eighties? That's what
I have to ask you, because most eighty year olds

(01:47):
that we know about, uh, you know, they're sweet, they're loving,
the caring, especially the ones that are in the church. Yes,
eighty year olds I'm talking about in the church. All right,
we'll have part two of Steve's response. Alright, on, Steve,
let's get part two of your response to today Strawberry.
Subject disrespectful senior, disrespectful senior citizen. Good morning, Shirley, Steve.

(02:11):
I'm a thirty two year old pastor with some short
of an issue. My wife and I are happily married,
and we have typical issues like the next couple. Here's
the situation. First of all, I want to say this
right here. What it always trips me out a little
bit when a pastor right in. I just want you

(02:32):
to understand that right there, they listened, Steve, they listen. Okay,
But what you're writing us folks, the Lord you got
the Lord we're supposed to come to you. I think
this is bad. So now, since you're coming to me
when you could have easily went to the Lord in
prayer all you could have got counseling from a more

(02:54):
qualified pastor like Bishop Omer TD. Jakes Joel, I'm sure
you've got some by the number, But she wrote me
in Shelly. So since you're going about it back which
you must want to backward answer, Thus here I come.
There's a particular lady in your church who really freaks
me out and rubs my wife the wrong way. I

(03:16):
try to avoid contact with this woman because she also
says stuff like come in and let me feel on you,
and come on here and let Grandma make you feel good.
This lady is in her eighties, but she don't have
any limits. First of all, let me say that to
your past you don't know what that lady though maybe
she ain't got no limits caused ain't no eight You know,

(03:37):
my cheating learned what she know so past when you
write me about this eight year if you can't handle
lady year old woman, why are you running the church?
Why are you in charge of your church? Though? I mean,
on just real, that's just gonna keep it real. You
can't handle an old lady man, I ain't. Then here
we go. See y'all getting a little tight with this answer,
but this answer real. I mean, you can't handle eight

(04:00):
year old lady at your church, and here we go.
She don't have any limits. She sometimes will randomly stop
by my job, bring me lunch or offer to take
me to lunch. Not only that, her actions are more
than words, she has actually touched me inappropriately several times.
She's very rude to my wife at church. She would
say things to my wife like you need me to
teach you how to take care of her man? Or
do you need me to cook for pastor it's crazy old, healthful.

(04:27):
But see, what you need to do is let your
wife loose on her though, because that's what's really about
to happen. Because you said this right here. My wife
has told me when she calls the house, she don't
even speak to her. But instead we just asked to
speak to me his department through me. Now, my wife
isn't as saved as I am. See here we go

(04:47):
with these most saved people, but you most saved, and
you run the church and you're the pastor, but you
can't handle eight year old left you need. You're the
leader of the house. Come on, gonna, I'm gonna pull
that eighty all laid up in y'all about what break off?

(05:08):
All right, Steve, you know we gotta go. We gotta
get out of here. You can email us or instagram
