Listen "Michael Dennis - Funny and Faith Intersect"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Michael Dennis embodies the courage to expand life's horizons rather than shrink them as the years pass. After over two decades of shepherding communities, he jumped headfirst into the world of stand-up comedy. What started as a pandemic dare from friends has evolved into a unique ministry opportunity in the most unlikely of places, comedy clubs where his faith meets the darkest corners of humanity.
Michael's journey from having zero interest in Jesus to becoming a pastor reveals the power of authentic relationship over religious culture. Now, as an empty-nester, he's discovered that comedy clubs provide unprecedented opportunities to meet young dreamers from around the world who are spiritually open in ways that traditional church settings never allowed. His story challenges common assumptions about faith, humour, and the intersection of sacred and secular pursuits, proving that God’s sense of humour might be bigger than we ever imagined.
