Welcome to the Bible Belt Bros Podcast — a Christian comedy podcast where faith meets funny, and Sunday service stories turn into Monday morning rants (and sometimes spiritual revelations). Hosted by a couple of real-life bros who’ve lived through the awkward altar calls, unplanned youth group disasters, potluck politics, and worship team drama — we bring an unfiltered, light-hearted take on the real stuff that happens in church culture.
Why We Started This Podcast
Let’s be honest — not every church moment feels like a mountaintop experience. Sometimes, it’s more like trying to sit through a sermon when the sanctuary AC is broken in August. Other times, it’s dealing with that one guy who keeps ”prophesying” that the end is near because he missed his breakfast burrito.
We grew up in the thick of church life — youth group lock-ins, church plants, VBS snack tables, and plenty of awkward moments at the altar. And while we’ve seen the beauty and power of the church, we’ve also seen the cracks — the weird, the funny, the frustrating, and everything in between.
The Bible Belt Bros Podcast isn’t here to bash the church. We love the Church — deeply. But sometimes, you just need to laugh at the messiness, question the weird traditions, and process the baggage that comes with being part of a faith community in a brutally honest (but kind) way.
We don’t claim to have all the answers. We’re not theologians with six degrees and publishing contracts. We’re the ones who used to make youth group announcements with a kazoo and a strobe light just to keep students awake.
But we’re real. We’ve got stories. And we’re not afraid to laugh at ourselves, our churches, or the ridiculous situations we all find ourselves in when we try to do life together.
Each episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast is like sitting down with a couple of friends after church — you know, the conversations that happen after the Sunday service dust settles, when the ties are loosened, the coffee’s refilled, and the real talk begins.
Here’s what we bring to the table:
1. Hilarious Church Stories
You know that time the worship leader forgot the lyrics… to “Amazing Grace”? Or when someone got baptized and the heater hadn’t been turned on in weeks? Yeah, we tell those stories — and invite our listeners to share theirs too. Because if we can’t laugh at ourselves, we’re doing church wrong.
2. Hot Takes on Church Culture
We dive into all the quirks and unspoken rules of modern evangelical life — from the politics of church potlucks to the theology of church coffee. Why is it that the drums are still controversial in some places? What’s with the “Love Offering” envelopes? And why do we all know at least one person who acts like the parking lot is a spiritual battleground?
3. Real Faith Conversations
We don’t shy away from the deep stuff either. We talk about burnout, doubt, church hurt, and spiritual growth — but with honesty and a healthy dose of humor. Because real life is messy, and faith isn’t always polished.
4. Unfiltered Rants (The Holy Kind)
Sometimes we just need to rant — about cheesy Christian movies, overused sermon illustrations, or how every youth camp seems to recycle the same skits from 1998. But our rants always come from a place of love and a desire to see the church thrive.
5. Relatable Guests and Stories
We’ve had conversations with pastors, church planters, former church kids, musicians, and random dudes who once played Jesus in a church play. Every guest brings their unique perspective and a few jaw-dropping stories that’ll make you laugh and think.
We believe church should be a place where you can be yourself. Where you can bring your doubts, your jokes, your sarcasm, and your snacks.

Baptists Ban Sports Betting, But I'll Bet Money They're Gossiping in Church
When is it Gossip?
So apparently, 10,000 Southern Baptists walked into a convention center, and it wasn't the setup to a joke. It was the setup to cancel everything fun in my life.
I'm talking about the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting, where they decided to target—and I quote—"pornography, sports betting, and same-sex marriage, as well as willful childlessness." Now, I get the first one. I understand the marriage thing. But sports betting? Really? You're coming for my FanDuel account?
And "willful childlessness"? What's next, are they going to start monitoring who's using birth control? Are they going to have a fertility committee? "Excuse me, Brother Johnson, we noticed you only have two kids. Care to explain?"
The Great Fantasy Football Controversy
Here's where it gets personal. I'm sitting there listening to this news, and all I can think about is my church fantasy football league. Because apparently, according to these Southern Baptist overlords, I can't have a prize at the end of the season. No money involved. Just pure, competitive sadness.
You know what happens when you play fantasy football with no money on the line? People quit. They just stop. Week 6 rolls around, their team is 1-5, and they're like, "Well, I'm done setting my lineup." Meanwhile, you're stuck with some guy who's been starting players on bye weeks for the last month because he checked out mentally sometime around Halloween.
I've tried those church leagues with no money. It's like watching paint dry, except the paint is more exciting because at least it's making progress. These people will draft a team, lose three games, and then disappear faster than the church donuts after Sunday service.
"Put ten dollars on it for a full season, guys. Come on." But no, apparently that's gambling now. That's the devil's work. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us we can't flip coins to see who pays for lunch because that's "games of chance."
Welcome to Oklahoma, Where Everything Fun Is Illegal
Living in Oklahoma, this hits different. We finally got some legal gambling options—you can play FanDuel, you can do prop betting on sites like PrizePicks. You pick two or three players, choose over or under on their stats, and if you're right, your five dollars can multiply.
But here's the thing about these bets: they're really hard to win. Somebody's always going to get hurt. Somebody's going to have a bad game. Somebody's going to get in foul trouble. Just the other day, some guy placed a seven-game parlay and got all the way to the Thunder game. He was projected to win $238,000 off a ten-dollar bet. The Thunder lost with three seconds left on the clock.
That's not gambling addiction—that's just Oklahoma sports breaking your heart in the most expensive way possible.
The Baseball Betting Disaster
I'll be honest with you: I used to bet on baseball, and it was the most frustrating experience of my life. Think about it—the best players in the league are batting .300. That means they fail seven out of ten times. And these are the good players.
You'll bet on a team for a doubleheader, thinking, "They're going to win today." They lose the first game, then they win the second game 10-0, and you're sitting there like, "What did you not just do that the first game when I had money on it?"
Baseball betting taught me that sports betting is just paying money to be disappointed in new and creative ways. It's like marriage, but with worse odds.
The Gossip Problem (AKA The Real Issue)
But here's the thing that really got me thinking. While the Southern Baptist Convention is worried about my five-dollar fantasy football bets, they're completely missing the real problem in our churches: gossip.
Our pastor Michael preached on gossip recently, and honestly, it was one of his best sermons. Not because he wasn't preaching at me for once—though that was refreshing—but because he hit on something that actually matters.
You know what gossip is? It's talking about someon
