{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Bible Belt Bros Christian Comedy Podcast","slug":"biblebeltbros","podcastDescription":"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.\n\nWhy We Started This Podcast\nLet’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.\n\nWe 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.\n\nThat’s where this podcast was born.\n\nThe 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.\n\nWho Are the Bible Belt Bros?\nWe’re just two guys (and sometimes more — shout out to our guests and rotating side characters) who’ve been doing life and ministry for decades in the buckle of the Bible Belt. We’re husbands, dads, church kids, former staffers, and regular dudes who have experienced the highs and lows of faith, community, and calling.\n\nWe 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.\n\nBut 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 under one steeple.\n\nWhat You Can Expect from Each Episode\nEach 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.\n\nHere’s what we bring to the table:\n\n1. Hilarious Church Stories\nYou 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.\n\n2. Hot Takes on Church Culture\nWe 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?\n\n3. Real Faith Conversations\nWe 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.\n\n4. Unfiltered Rants (The Holy Kind)\nSometimes 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.\n\n5. Relatable Guests and Stories\nWe’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.\n\nWe believe church should be a place where you can be yourself. Where you can bring your doubts, your jokes, your sarcasm, and your snacks.\n\nSo whether you’ve been in church since birth or are still trying to figure out if you’re allowed to laugh during prayer — we invite you to take this journey with us.\n\nThe Bible Belt Bros Podcast is for everyone who loves Jesus but isn’t afraid to joke about the awkward parts of following Him with others.\n\nCome for the comedy. Stay for the community.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/823936/Bible-Belt-Bros-2018.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/823936/Bible-Belt-Bros-2018_1200x628.jpg?s=cd07d6b420ce9f6ddda8d5e4ab7c10b0&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://biblebeltbros.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/biblebeltbros/feed.xml","theme":"double-tree","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-74xhs-c9280?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":11,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Chicago"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":115,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Dusty Hope and Andrew Fisher","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-74xhs-c9280-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-74xhs-c9280?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/6kpqKm6SCPulgJFpGDKhIp","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2139ab2e-07fe-46cd-b10b-1cbb1a7de466","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Pandora","link":"https://www.pandora.com/podcast/bible-belt-bros-christian-comedy-podcast/PC:30563","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/pandora.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Religion--Spirituality-Podcasts/Bible-Belt-Bros-Christian-Comedy-Podcast-p1237999/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3669167","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/bible-belt-bros-28615","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/122306","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Oswald"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FFBE00"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
