“Jehovah’s Witness church, idk man, do you think we just walk right in or knock first?” 😂 I’m DEAD
Kristen Wood I don't get it.. explain pleasseee 😅🤔
Jehovah's Witnesses go around knocking at people's doors.
Kristen Wood ironically theirs is the only free church out there... They don't collect tithes or contributions it's completely free.
flamingpie herman absolutely correct!
Knock first lol

I Almost CHOKED on MY food
THANKS A Lot!!!!!
I’m tripped out I literally read this at the same time they said it in the vid.... am I high??
That’s me
"You're not getting in there, you're wearing pants." I LOST IT 😂
I go to United Pentecostal Church and you're allowed in with pants. Although we do believe in women in dresses or skirts we don't turn anyone away for what they are wearing. Good one though...lol
I go to a Pentecostal church and although we don’t wear pants we wouldn’t turn anyone away that may be wearing them. If fact we have lots of visitors that wear them and we don’t make them feel uncomfortable. It was a good joke tho! 😂
@@_.ChildOfGod._ I'm glad I'm Catholic and not Pentecostal because I hate dresses and skirts.
@@LissaLori 90% of the family on my mom's side are Catholic. There are some major doctrinal differences between pentecostals and Catholics but I love my family very much. It doesn't matter the denomination as long s we re believingthst the Bibd is the infallible word of God and obeying Him. ❤❤❤🥰🥰
@@_.ChildOfGod._ I totally agree.
“No we can’t go to Hillsong I didn’t bring my skinny jeans” 😂 I’ve felt the same way, all too real
You didn't miss anything. Hillsong is not of God. It's not a church. It's a cult. Pure darkness and evil.
Prophetic Utterances
what?
Prophetic Utterances 🤣 yeah ok
mariethebest09
lol fr
@@maciec.2008 you know, I used to think that Hillsong was fine. But I realized that the Church is actually corrupt. Not just Hillsong but other similar Churches like Bethel. I listen to their music as long as it matches doctrine but the Church itself has problens
🤣🤣🤣🤣 "shall we drive around it 7 times" huh?..."read your bible"😆
That was my favorite part
Yeah that was gold 😂
Bruh I'm Muslim and I got that
That was pure comedy.
LOL
Jericho house of praise...what are we going to just drive around it seven times? 😂😂😂😂
VirginiaGirl 66 "I don't get it" "Welp, read your bible"😂
😂😂😂😂
It made it even more funny that he said 7 instead of 13.
!!!!!
I laughed so hard at the drive around 7 times. Thank goodness there wasn’t a temple of Sinai then we would have gotten the burning bush jokes
The Jericho joke was hilarious and when she didn’t get it and he said “read your Bible,” I was cracking up! 🤣 The Hillsong one was spot on as well lol
Agreed. That one had me crying on my keyboard.....
*"Ebenezer Baptist Tabernacle"*
*"....is that a black church?"*
DEFINITELY 💀 only thing that could make it more obvious is if it had "missionary" in the name
Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Tabernacle.😂
“You can’t even clap on rhythm at the white church!” 😂

The nice thing about the Catholic church is that you can go anywhere in the world and know exactly what you're getting.
Sara Fakult idk I’ve been to some masses that were pretty out there haha 😂
Went to Mass in Korean and also Japanese. Could follow everything but the homily.
Went to mass in Mexico and we could also follow along the entire mass except for the homily/sermon! It was amazing to say the least 👌👌👌
Yep
Went to one in Laos and knew exactly what was going on. I don't speak Lao.

That was my favorite!
JC W I don't get it..
Jehovah's Witnesses go house to house knocking on doors Lol
Martie Parfait because they preach as jesus commanded to do in the Bible and go door-to-door...it's ironic most don't know what Jesus did...
Hilarious
As a lifelong Catholic, I nearly fell out of my chair at the Catholic references!! 🤣🤣
Same!
Ironically. it’s the only Church you can find on vacation in most parts of the world. I have been to Mass in majority Muslim countries and in small villages in east Africa. So grateful to God for the Mass
same
As someone who goes to Church of Christ (including a CoC university), I'm really happy someone finally made fun of us. And yes, the singing is great. Even if everyone is off-key and off-beat.
Church of Christ here too, since birth and also married in the Church. But we do wear tank tops...and then drape a shawl over it 🤣
I'm Church of Christ too!
Church of Christ too! It was pretty hilarious and offensive at the same time.😅
What about an Adventist Church? Oh, no, it's Sunday...
He should've had that in the video!
Whats tje joke?
Derek Handson Adventist have their service on saturday following sabbath tradition.
Yes, we’ve been left out.
Juan Cristóbal Olivares As an Adventist, I knew we weren’t about to be in it. But this video is so relatable cuz Adventist churches aren’t easy to find.
This was GOLD, John Crist you have some serious talent! thanks for using it for Jesus and also for humorously pointing out flaws in contemporary church culture that need to be addressed!
Yes, GOLD! XD
If this is pointing out the flaws in it, it's genius.
"You don't speak Spanish, we're not going to a Spanish speaking church."
Some English speaking people go to churches where the mass is in Latin.
Yo. This is actually gold HAAHAH
Woah didn’t expect to see you here at all o-o
John is right about Catholic churches naming after saints! 🤣
Not always. Plus the Orthodox and the Anglicans name their parishes after Saints too.
Frank K I’ve seen a Lutheran church named after a saint interestingly enough
Pixels - Good point, though it is somewhat rare. Usually they have names like "Good Shepherd, "King of Glory", "Trinity", etc.
And the "Perpetual"and "Guadalupe", lol. "Immaculate", "Sacred Heart", and of course "Our Lady" are also dead giveaways.
OGSpaceCadet my church both our lady and immaculate in the name... mines definitely a giveaway
As a Catholic, I don't have this problem, but I cracked up the whole video! Loved this 😂❤
Her: "Ok-- Ebenezer Baptist Tabernacle."
Him: "...Is that a black church?"
Me: Probably, but if it had "Missionary" in the name, it'd for SURE be a black church. 😅
My church is named Ebenezer Baptist
I love his videos
Visited a black church, it was great.
Matthew Swenson Love this comment
If it has Ebenezer in the name, it's a black church
White girl member of a Black gospel church for 6 years now. My church feeds my faith and our leadership is truly invested in the congregation. I LOVE my church fam!
I'm Catholic so that part about names totally cracked me up.

As in Harry Potter ?
what’s the potters house?
Gregory Clay it’s the name of the church TD Jakes leads
@@greggotheeggo ... a church in Dallas, TX, however, the pastor does not believe in the Trinity. He is a Modalist, which is not biblical.

For anyone wondering, there are some things I’d like to clear up. As a member of the UPCI (United Pentecostal Church International) I found the joke amusing, but also somewhat misleading. If you come to one of our church wearing makeup, jewelry, pants etc, most time the members won’t care, and will welcome you warmly. I know this is not always the case, but if you end up in a church that doesn’t welcome you, just know most of us aren’t like that. I am also aware that not all Pentecostal churches have the same beliefs as us as far as clothing/presentation of the body. Also, we women wear all kinds of skirts, not just long denim ones ;). We are what’s known as Apostolic Pentecostal and our “holiness standards” are different than that of other Pentecostals, as well as some other beliefs. Also, our church is NOT a cult, despite what some may say. We all have free choice, no one is forced to do anything. I’m not here to have an argument or debate, so if you reply with something negative, I won’t respond. However, if you have a genuine question i would be happy to answer it for you. I was just hoping to clarify some things for anyone wondering. Have a nice day, God bless. :)
Do y’all baptize in Jesus name?
@@matthewhathaway4687 Yes, we do. I'm also UPC and baptism in Jesus' name is one of our core doctrines :-)
Just one question; what is the Biblical basis for your doctrine?
I don't care if you respond. I belonged to a couple Pentecostal Churches years ago; and they are very "legalistic" driven. Meaning: they believe in a works-based Salvation. This is completely opposite of Jesus' entire message and what He did for us in the tomb.
Just sayin'.
The first church I joined as an adult was an apostolic Pentecostal...I loved that church.
United Pentecostal Church - "You're not getting in there, you're wearing pants, plus you've got a lot of makeup"..... LOL owned her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So true!!!! I was raised in Pentecostal churches and women are not evenallowed to wear deodorants.... so sad!
@@jrjanette2 hilarious! Not true! LOL! Maybe for some weird legalistic church! I am a Pastor’s Wife to a United Pentecostal minister. I was raised baptist and one Wednesday night went to church with my my husband and was in pants, makeup, and was welcomed with open arms. I wear deo! that is seriously the most ignorant thing so far I have heard. right up there with accusations of snake handling stupidity.
When I was a freshman at Moody Bible Institute it was the first yr women could wear pants. When I heard it I said, "I hope they wear pants".lol
@@wifemomlife5606 I was part of a United Pentecostals church for a while and I can say that even though they welcomed you the way you were, you were not truly accepted unless you started to look and act like them. They also have a massive issue with women cutting their hair. They are all very lovely people, but they are very legalistic.
@@wifemomlife5606 I'd expect a more gracious and gentle reply from a Pentecostal.

Veni Vidi Amavi me too!! They’re hilarious
Here in India, when on a vacation to a new place, we normally ask our local church pastor to refer a church
Priya J Indian here. I don't normally go to church whether on vacation or while in North but if it's in cities, I'd search for a worship church. But of course, if it's with parents, then yeah - some church that local church pastor recommends
Good idea.
People in India are into Hinduism, not Catholicism. They probably don't refer to their leaders as pastors either.

I actually look forward to going to church on vacation, that is, when we go to my grandma's. It's a Messianic Jewish type of worship group, and it's so fun and engaging and wonderful...
My husband and I went to three different churches on our vacation for our 1st anniversary: A PCUSA on Sunday, a midweek study at a RBC, and a men's study at a community church on a Thursday night (my husband only attended that one). It's a lot of fun - you literally get to meet the locals as well as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. :)
Not sure if this is funny or depressing
James & Lea D - Philia Ministries insulting and those two.
so funny, depressing, and insulting, I agree.
Same
I thought it was hilarious 😂
Funny
The Catholic Church is awesome, and the Cathedrals are BEAUTIFUL.
So true
just the beliefs that i disagree with
So much money down the drain spent on those fancy buildings
It's just missing Jesus is all
But they always need more money for the roof.
"Yeah, but those have holes in them. They look fine."
That's hilarious.

Trying to find a church that preaches the true gospel, now that is hard 😱
Truth . John 1
King James Version
" 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. " Now heed this Warning : Man for his part has unto Himself taken the Word, and for His Own benefit hath twisted the Word, thereby corrupting It . Man fights amongst Themselves,bickering with one another as to who has the best means of worship . Those in lofty positions use the Word of God to lord it [ Their Authority and power] over others whilst only bringing fear, derision ,sorrow, and hatred to the People . The Word of God ,instead of being an Instrument of Salvation has instead been usurped by Corruptible Powers and Dominions within the Religions, Institutes, and Traditions built by Man . This I say unto Those who desire to hear, let not Tradition,nor Religion, nor Institution become as a pitfall . Let Love fill Your heart. Love as Christ Loved . Open up Your Heart,Mind and Soul to Christ and the Way of Salvation shall be revealed. The Path is before You. You must choose which One to walk. One Path leadeth to separation,Darkness,Corruption - DEATH ,whilst the Other leadeth to Unity, Light ,Salvation . CHOOSE wisely!
@@michaeltheoret8913 you just... change the Gospel without quoting ?

Ikr!
This skit was so spot-on with the difficulties of finding a church, and while I cracked up at several points of it, I can't help but see how the enemy uses these situations and differences to keep Believers from joining hands in praise and worship of the Lord.
This is literally me every week. There's a Pentecostal church just 5 minutes away from the Methodist church and the Methodist church is around the corner from the Lutheran church that I go to.
Kita Meguire I went to an Assemblies of God church and now I'm going to a Church of Christ church that is down the street from a new hope church. So I don't know what you mean, but there are still a bunch of churches where I live too lol
Kita Meguire haha. . Wow
Kita Meguire on the way to my church, we probably pass at least 10 on the way (some Catholic, some Baptist, some of all types)
Kita Meguire ayyye Pokemon black and white 😀
I go to a Catholic Church that’s next to a Jewish temple
Does this count as church hunters episode 3.???
I'm still waiting for a new episode of Church Hunters!
Seriously. I've even messaged Aaron Chewning and told him to get on it!
As a man who's been going to church my entire life, I found this to be ENTIRELY ACCURATE! JOHN! YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!
Thats why we always plan ahead and look for churches in our denomination. In all seriousness we went to the Florida keys and went to church on Sunday. The group that was there was so welcoming to us and it was quite amazing which can only mean that visitors don't appear often. I will always remember them. :)
Really curious as to this guys actual denomination; he rags on all of them
Peter Bigg he’s probably nondenominational
I heard him say in an interview his dad is/was a Baptist pastor. Does it matter if he is a follower of Christ?
That's the point.
As a good comedian should. He's trying his best not to be biased
He's on his way to deconverting; he just doesn't know it yet. 😉
"It' s a joke. Read your Bible." 😂😂😂
"What are we going to do, drive around it seven times until we decide?"
When I'm on vacation, I go to a relatives' church or chapel if we're at the base.
“I’m gluten free, I can’t go there” 😂😂😂
I actually went to a Hillsong church when I was on vacation in Australia. Didn't know anything about them other than the music. Turns out, their pastors read their Bibles less than Joel Osteen.
I wouldn't even consider Hillsong a church.
What gave you that impression?
Why wouldn't you consider it a church?
First 45 min: A rock concert that met/exceeded my expectations of seeing Hillsong music live
Next 15 min: A self-help style message about getting through rough times with maybe one or two verses referenced.
Next 45 min: Pastor name drops all the famous people in the audience and brags about his relationships with famous people. Then invites two professional athletes onstage to talk about their sports.
In my opinion, this is not a church. This is a place you go for a free concert and then leave (which a surprisingly large amount of people did.) By the time the service was actually over, about 40% of the congregation was already gone.
The Hillsong Australian Pastor seems to water down the Gospel. But, the pastor of Hillsong Germany seems really great. I like his podcasts.
Funnily enough, I'm on vacation today in Chicago, went to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 😂This is great.
😂😂 one bonus of being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ and Later Day Saints we have churches all over and don't have to think about this. This is awesome and very funny. I love the humor of church goers. Keep it up. I just found your channel. You are great.
Would it make a difference if you knew what Mormonism teaches is false and is led by a false prophet?
@@tdubs5128 why would it? You might believe that, but for me I have prayed and received an answer that the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints is true and led by Jesus Christ him self, through prophets. Just like in the time of Jesus Christ.
@@stubyjones1 I was a member for 43 years myself and have recited just what you told me many many times. I stood up in sacrament meeting and bore testimony as to the truthfulness of the lds gospel. I believed it was truly led by Jesus Christ through His prophet. I served in the bishopric for a time and was all in. I have taken Moroni's challenge and prayed to know of its truthfulness and got what I thought was an answer. My faith changed when I started reading the history of the church and everything unraveled because it is built on a mountain of lies.
@@tdubs5128 OK, I understand your point. However, is it necessary to try and ruin others testimonies?
@@stubyjones1 I personally can't ruin anyone's testimony. That is a personal thing. I do believe that people deserve to be informed. Hard to do in a UA-cam comment. Have you read the CES letter?
"You can't even clap on rhythm at the white church"...
When I was in college I got invited to church by a white campus crusade for Christ guy. I agreed to go with him and only when I arrived that Sunday did I realize he was the only white guy at an inner city black church. We didn't have black people where I grew up and the first time I was ever around black people was in the Marine Corps. I grew up in the Lutheran Church and let me tell you what, black church is really different but it's a total riot! People singing and dancing in the aisles, shouting out agreement with the pastor, randomly breaking into songs right in the middle of the sermon, waving their hands in the air like it's a rave for Jesus and so on. And it was loooooooooong, like the longest service I have ever been too. I'm pretty introverted so by the time it was over I felt like I had run a marathon, but they sure were welcoming and it was definitely a blast to experience that much fun at church. I'll never forget it, probably won't ever do it again, but I'm glad I got to experience it, even if I can't clap on time to save my life.
yeah this is why we usually just have bible study when we're on vacation we ain't got time for that 😂
That joke about Carl Lentz was gold!!! This entire thing was amazing!
I read the title as -
*Trying to find a church in the Vatican*
And went - o.O
😂😂😂
Haha! You should have gone to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. ;D
Oh my bad, is my name tag showing? Lol.
You guys are great.
Love that they led off with that one.
Actually that's my choice. I have an app on my phone that finds the building, tells me what time it meets and the language, in case it is something other than English. It is one of the things I love about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!
Random but, I’m waiting for crazy wackos with nothing else to do to go and make themselves look like idiots bashing other people’s religions right here. Why can’t we all just respect each other?
Love that I can the church of Jesus Christ every where and it's always the same!

"We're going to brunch." LOL That's so true!
Choose the bread of life or you're toast "I'm gluten free, I can't go there"
“You can’t even clap on rhythm in the white church!” made me laugh way harder than it should. 😂
Oh, I forgot my long denim skirt, yeah...
I didn't hear that - she said it quietly... I don't get it either. Pentecostals are supposed to wear long denim skirts and no makeup? I've gone to lots, and none I've been to are like that!
They said United Pentecostal. Extreme "holiness." My mom's family are UP. No makeup. Never cut hair shorter than between shoulder blades. Wear it in a bun if you're married or not looking. Long skirts. Denim only if you're young and single on Sundays. Don't believe in the Trinity, either.
Everything J.Sharp said is true. I was raised United Pentecostal
Romey Waldrop
I go to a Pentecostal church and it's slightly different. They believe in speaking in tongues, the Trinity, girls should have head coverings, dress modestly (aka, skirt or dress), makeup is definitely discouraged, long hair, and no dating.
Also no female leadership. Many of these I would agree with when researching the word, but there are definitely some over-the-top rules.
UPC churches in California are a little different :)
Lol “I can’t go there. I’m gluten free”
Hey John, you went to my church camp last year, called Camp Collide and you sent us laughing for days and I found your channel and now I can't stop!
That Jericho joke about had me on the floor. This was what I needed to brighten my day. Thanks.
I was already on the floor when I heard it. Meh.
Praise Him, Raise Him. I am done
I can relate. I'm a non-denominational Christian. I've been to Methodist, Baptist, and Catholic churches, along with many that didn't say what denomination they were. I even went to the Church of Latter-Day Saints once with a friend. Usually I just don't bother with church on vacation. Also, the Catholic church name thing? Yeah, very accurate. My grandmother's Catholic, and her church is called Sacred Heart, and the nearest church to me when I got my first apartment was a Catholic church with Saint in the name.
My church is extremely different from normal churches, so it’s super hard for me to find Christians to relate to lol. Like we don’t have a pastor, or some big building with a cross. We don’t give money (except for lunch which we all do our best to pitch in for), we don’t go on retreats or anything like that. We’re just a group of like 25 people that come together once a month and sing worship music, pray, talk about things God is bringing us through, ask for prayer on things, and then near the end we split bread and juice. We worship for about 2 hours, but it’s not like we open up a book of hyms or anything. We have actual songs that we sing, some are ones people in our group created and others are more well known worship songs. But we just sing them, and praise God. I guess you could say my aunt leads it since she’s at the piano, but honestly there’s really no one that leads it. When someone isn’t speaking or when we aren’t singing, we are just praying. Sometimes someone prays aloud, other times we are quiet in it. It’s truly just spending time with God. We don’t dress up in fancy outfits or anything. We don’t have the whole Instagram type life thing. It’s like a genuine family, which a lot of us actually are family, but in this case I mean more spiritual. A body of Christ. I don’t even know the whole denomination stuff. I just know God. I know I love Him. I know I want to know Him more. I talk to Him all the time, and I love seeing how He works. I think trying to put God in a box is against everything He is. When I was little, my mom would take us from church to church. We tried out all of those different kinds. But they never worked out. It was so suffocating to be in those buildings. It felt like a funeral more than worship. People nodding their heads constantly with their brows furrowed as the pastor preached the exact same five scriptures every single time. Warning us of God’s wrath if we ever strayed. It felt so wrong. So exhausting. So unforgiving. When we finally came to my now worship group, it was completely different. I was still a very young kid at the time, but I knew the difference. The air felt cleaner. It was calming. I would often take naps on my mom’s lap as we sat in the living room (our worship is in a normal house, not a church building) because I was little, and it felt like God was watching over me, joyful that I was there. It was a happy and content feeling. Like this was the closest to home I could get on earth. I’ve stayed with my worship group ever since. I’m 21 now, and it feels so good to be able to go to worship. I’m disabled, so I don’t always get to go, but it’s nice when I do. Like bringing me back to a place where I belong. A place that doesn’t teach through fear, but rather tells over and over and over of Gods overwhelming love. ❤️
"Choose the bread of life... Or you're toast." Hahahaha!!!! 😂😂😂 That was good. Never heard that one before. Lol!!!
😂 Shout out to the Mormons! Love it! Thanks for including us!! ❤️😂😂😂 love it love it love it!

@@nicolelovesjesus6156 ya we just call our church, the church of Jesus Christ.. definitely not Christians tho.. 🤔
@@nicolelovesjesus6156 It's ok to have different beliefs but don't be a jerk about it when others don't agree with you.
As a member of a UPC church, you would be welcome whatever you wear!:) Love me some John Crist!
kprpearl so am I even though it was still funny reference
Im Apostolic Pentecostal too
Im UPCI and you're right we WELCOME ANYONE
An Eastern Orthodox church or any of the Oriental churches would've been a bit of a culture shock for them. lol
Legends say they are still out there looking for a church.
I’ve been to several Pentecostal Church’s and they are always very welcoming..and their women stand out because of their personal beliefs. It’s a funny video but went a little deep with the Pentecostal comments. They shouldn’t be shamed because of their modesty. It makes me respect them because they are willing to stand out for what they believe.
Timothy Stephens Same. I think it’s sad that some people have made Pentecostal people seem like that. It’s just their belief, and I respect it! And none of my friends would not let me come into church.
Its a forced belief. Maybe not to guests, but if you want to become a member of a UPC church, the legalism and measuring stick comes into play. Conviction by the Holy Spirit and obligation by a church's rules are 2 different things.
richardmaggio1979 I agree it’s two different things...but to Pentecostal women it’s not adherence to a church’s “rules”. It IS a conviction. You have a twisted view of Pentecost and I’m sorry for that...none of the Church’s that I have visited would tell a woman that she isn’t “allowed” to come to church because of what she’s wearing. I have never heard of a woman not being let into any service...Pentecostal or any other denomination...because of her wardrobe. That’s not Christianity at all.
Timothy Stephens when they have the one like that you know they gave themselves. 👆🏼😂
I'm Pentecostal. I laughed.
Of course, I'm also the person who got the newspaper at my AG college in trouble for publishing an editorial comic poking fun at our sister college across town. For context...
I attended Evangel University in Springfield, MO. Now, Springfield is, famously, where the headquarters of both the Assemblies of God and Baptist Bible Fellowship are located, and it's a major college town. A good third of its residents only live there during the school year. In addition to Evangel University, Springfield was initially also home to Central Bible College and the AG Theological Seminary. Both these institutions have since been absorbed into EU (much to the former's chagrin). Evangel is a liberal arts school, while CBC was basically where kids went before taking graduate courses at AGTS. And CBC's view of Evangel was...not the kindest. They saw us as being very secular compared to themselves. During CBC's last year as their own entity, there was a popular meme floating around the internet that basically said, "What X thinks I do vs. what I really do." I made a comic based on this meme, with the theme being Evangel students and graduates. One panel said, "What CBC thinks we do," and showed students in crop tops dancing on tables and holding glass bottles that were very much intended to look like booze. Everyone at Evangel loved the comic and thought that panel in particular was hilarious. A visiting faculty from CBC did not. An apology letter had to be written by our school administration on behalf of our newspaper, and we got a stern warning not to make fun of CBC ever again.
“Anything Guadalupe related” 😂😂
Haha. My favorite part!!
Hahaha this is so good! I love How you use humor to put light on how we sometimes focus on the wrong things in our faith. All your videos has a great message but is so funny so you WANT to watch it. I think this is a great way of teaching people and reminding us what is really important and what is not.
The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ! 🇻🇦💪
