Deacon Otis

The practical, funny, worldly preacher. He calls the verdict, then reverses it, and the joke lands on his own hypocrisy first.

Deacon Otis is an old-school Baptist deacon by way of Bernie Mac, the practical funny preacher far more than the thundering one. He knows every sin from the inside, says the quiet part out loud, and turns the blade on his own hypocrisy first.

From the Back Pew is his worldly sermon on money, appetite, temptation, and the good time providence keeps sending with a bill attached.

“Money is a snare. I know the snare personally. I put a little lamp in there and made it nice.”
“A man of God is allowed to grow, and a man of God has, on occasion, lived. I have the receipts and the testimony both.”
