Ethan was excited to dedicate his heart to Jesus and take the meaningful step of baptism. But like many kids his age, he wasn’t entirely sure about one thing…
getting dunked under water. For a little boy, that part of the ceremony felt just a bit too intense!
When the special day arrived, the whole church was filled with joy and anticipation. Family, friends, and church members gathered to witness Ethan’s big moment. He stepped into the baptistry with a mix of courage and nerves—but the instant he looked at the water, doubt washed over him. He froze, unsure if he could actually go through with it.
Thankfully, Pastor Bobby was right there—patient, supportive, and unexpectedly creative.
When Ethan hesitated one time too many, the pastor decided to give him a little holy encouragement. With a move that can only be described as a gentle “WWE-style baptism,” Pastor Bobby helped guide Ethan under the water, making sure the ceremony was completed in the most memorable (and hilarious) way possible.
The entire congregation erupted with laughter, filling the room with joy. It was a moment that captured the perfect mix of faith, humor, and community.
Ethan popped back up smiling—drenched, dedicated, and now officially part of God’s family.
It might not have been the smoothest baptism in church history, but it was definitely one that everyone will remember with love, laughter, and a big warm “Welcome to the family, Ethan!” ✨
