Pastor Scott Thomas is the pastor of Free Life Chapel in Lakeland, Fl who was recently invited to speak at Fellowship Church’s 2026 Creative Marriage Conference in Grapevine, Tx.
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.”
He later shared pictures of the injury on social media:

He should’ve kept quiet for a day and claimed it as stigmata.
I would’ve said, “I’m sorry, I dozed off for a second. Could you repeat that?”
My son came running in with the trick nail going through his hand. I was on the phone....Heart Attack...close call...
“Pastor Stabs Himself During Sermon Illustration”
Devotion.
Wanted drama.
Got trauma.
Oh, if only the snake would bite now. Our day would be complete.
Good one. With the Weekly World News pushing the Bat Boy Picked Up By UFO story completely off page one.
He decided to expand on the traditional three-point sermon and went for a fourth point.
