Serious Fun: The Place of Humour in the Christian Life
The Christian life is serious, after all there is eternal weight to our every day life and public witness. But does that mean there’s no place for laughter and fun? How do we know when humour helps us connect with others, and when it distracts from the mission?
In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie dive into this tension by sharing their own experiences with humor in ministry and ever day moments. Along the way they explore why joy should overflow into our words, why humour often builds bridges, how we should use jokes and humour appropriately in alignment with our call to holiness, and how believers can embrace “serious fun” without slipping into escapism.
