“Comedy is an escape, not from truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.”~Christopher Fry

This week we talk about why it's important for Christians to keep a good sense of humor, what in the Bible makes us laugh, and how we can lean into joy in these uncertain times.

“Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.”~Charles Spurgeon

This week in Christ Culture and Nerd Culture we invite licensed mental health counselor Joy Clifton to share with us smart and Godly ways to identify and cope with fear, panic and anxiety.

Plus we continue our Best Thing Ever Duos bracket and try to figure out what US state we’d be if we were a US state.
