Show Notes

“It’s like if The Chosen was done by one guy who is not prepared” is the way Anthony Russo explains his project, The Bible is Funny. A lot of people use scripture to manipulate or shame but Anthony is using it to provide a safe space where people can interact with it in a new way. This conversation will make you laugh and remind you that Christianity doesn’t have to be quite so serious.
