Have you noticed that we are taking ourselves way too seriously in the age of woke ideology?

Well, today's guest, John Brandt, in his spent 30 years as a stand-up comic, and he's joining

me today to talk about comedy as God's response to suffering. Stick around. I think you're going to be

encouraged.

Well, thank you guys for tuning in today, and for just meeting me here at my little corner

of the internet. I'm glad you guys have joined me. I know that it's the beginning of the month

that I'm going to keep telling you guys this because I want you to study God's word with me.

Moms, we've got a brand new study at Moms during International, it just launched a couple of days ago,

and it is called Ear Replaceable, the Soul Giving Life Altering Roll of Mothers. You guys,

God wants you to be encouraged. And so we're going to spend the next several weeks talking about your

role as a mother and why God says it's one of the most important things that you will ever do

is raise your children to love and follow Jesus. You guys are going to be encouraged. We're going to be

talking about just ideas for you to nurture yourself and your children body, soul, mind, and spirit.

So come along with me at momstrunginternational.com. All right, I'm thrilled today to have a new

friend on the show. John Brandt, you know, is here and right before we started recording,

we were kibbitzing a little bit about what's going on in the culture, and you guys are going to

be really blessed because you know, we live in major cancel culture right now. And nothing can be

funny anymore. And yet everything is funny. If we don't laugh, we'll cry. I think you guys

are going to love this interview. Hey, John, welcome to the show.

Josh, Heidi, thanks for having me. I never get invited to talk to people anymore. I'm a pretty

toxic character these days. So most people have said, you know, we'll pass. We'll have somebody a

little, a little more controllable, a little more controllable. Oh my goodness. Will you and I,
