- Is it Holy to Be Funny?
Short answer- yes! Great episode, voicing exactly what I’ve felt over the years- being witty/humorous with prudence as a guide is a real service to others. Thank you for the work you do- I’ll continue to work on refining my humor, to continue to “deliver” in my everyday life, to help make life a little brighter for others. God bless!

This was the best Godsplaining episode that I have heard. Sometimes priests unintentionally cause pain, and this episode brought me so much peace.

The speed of presentation makes for a challenge for the older audience. I’ve had lots of training in the details you discuss, but your conversation’s structure is beyond me. May I suggest a preview of topics, and reminders dropped in, of the outlined topics?
Good stuff!

Apple Podcasts5Sophie Anne JM JDUnited States7 months ago - Thought-provoking and spiritually enriching podcast
Heard about this podcast while listening to Fr. Gregory Pine read and analyze St. Augustine’s Confessions on the Catholic Classics podcast. Have listened to a few episodes of Godsplaining thus far and found them to be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as well as interesting and entertaining. Just pre-ordered Fr. Pine’s book, Training the Tongue, which he discusses in the most recent episode.
