"Preachers Are Funny" with Rev. Susan Sparks

Stop me if you’ve heard this one—a lawyer, a pastor, and a stand-up comic walk into a church…

No?

Then you’ve never heard of Susan Sparks, who is not only a lawyer, and not only a preacher, but also a bonafide comedian, and she’s joining me today to help me talk about the value of humor in ministry.  It’s not always easy to pull off, and it requires some vulnerability, but if used well, humor can be a powerful tool in the minister’s workshop.

Susan is the Pastor of Madison Avenue Baptist Church in New York City, and she is the author of the book, Laugh Your Way to Grace: Reclaiming the Spiritual Power of Humor. Learn more about Susan here.
