Hood & Holy: Ministry Drama

Holy & Hood: Ministry Drama By Christopher Tanner Welcome to New Light Baptist—a church where the sermons are holy, the choir is heavenly, and the drama is straight outta prime-time TV. From youth ministry mutinies to finance committee “miracles,” this laugh-out-loud, shake-your-head, side-eye-worthy ride takes you behind the pulpit and into the pews, where faith and foolishness often share the same seat. You’ll meet: Pastor Lewis – A good shepherd with a “back in my day” streak and a gift for preaching through chaos. Sister Karen – The gospel diva who can hit high notes… and high drama. Brother Carl – The “trusted” finance chair whose math is as creative as his excuses. Youth Pastor Dre – Cool, unbothered, and two TikToks away from losing his mind. It’s messy. It’s unpredictable. It’s church. Packed with outrageous characters, real-life church humor, and a whole lot of truth, Holy & Hood: Ministry Drama is part sitcom, part revival, and all the way entertaining. Whether you’ve been in church all your life or just know that one cousin who drags you every Easter, this book will have you laughing, gasping, and maybe—just maybe—seeing a little bit of your own church in these pages. Because in God’s house, the tea is hot, the praise is loud, and the shade is sanctified.
