Episode 8 - Bishop John Selders (will be coming out on Monday August 17th)

August 13, 2020/ Rev. James Christie

I am still putting on the final touches of the 8th and final episode of the first season of God Wants You to Laugh with my bishop, the very funny Bishop John Selders.

The plan is to release it this Monday August 17th.

It's a GREAT episode and well worth the wait. Season 1 will be going out with a BANG!

Rev. James

The Reverend James Christie is the world's only priest who moonlights as a stand-up comic.

A graduate of Yale Divinity School, Rev. James is a Christian Orthodox priest who by day works as a hospice chaplain. At night he tells jokes at nightclubs throughout New England (and Ohio). He has performed with Gary Gulman and Lamont Price. A lot of his jokes are about God. Because God wants you to laugh!

He produces Laughs for Africa, a comedy fundraiser which raises money for the African Hope Network, a non-profit benefiting Ugandan children and young leaders.
