BINGO!
Rejoice with me, brothers! I have had my best game ever of Hipster Megachurch Pastor Bingo!
In one video of only two minutes and seventeen seconds, I completed the following squares on my HMP bingo card. This is unbelievable, and may become the equivalent of the four minute mile or Bob Beamon’s iconic 1968 record long jump. This may be a bingo for the ages!
Again, in a mere 2:17…
Ballcap on inside
Graphic tee shirt with church logo
Bad grammar
Double thumbs up
“Excitement”
“What’s up, man?”
Pastor identified by initials
“Pumped”
“My amazing wife”
“Leadership”
“Awesome”
“Experience”
“I have a heart for…”
“Vision”
“Strategic meetings”
“Church of the future”
My only real disappointment is a lack of “passion” or “passionate.” But maybe this is no longer au courant among the demographic of chubby, balding, bearded middle-aged pastors still trying to fit in skinny jeans and sound like the vicar assigned to run the youth program. But then again, this is the LCMS, and we do tend to lag temporally in such matters.
At any rate, this was an HMP bingo for the ages.
