          Ah ,   question ,   mark .   But   why   is   it   seriously ?   Why   is   it   that   certain   people   equate   humor   and   laughter   with   being   unspiritual ?

          Presbyterian   friends ,   but   I   saw   a   guy   who   wrote   a   comment   on   a   sermon   I   preached   at   Chino   Hills   where   I   used   quite   a   bit   of   humor   throughout   the   whole   thing .   He   says   cut   the   humor .   Someone   said   that   yeah   he   says   cut   the   humor ,   it&#39;s   not   spiritual .   And   I   thought ,   oh   boy ,   you&#39;d   be   a   fun   person .

          And   they   just   will   not   laugh .   They   will   not .   It&#39;s   almost   like   oh ,   that&#39;s   not   good ,   that&#39;s   not .   Where   do   we   get   that   from ,   man ?   Where   does   that   come   from ?   Here&#39;s   when   you   know ,   friends ,   that   a   society   is   facing   a   massive   moral   crisis ,   that   it&#39;s   heading   toward   total   and   absolute   collapse ,   that   it&#39;s   on   the   brink   of   utter   destruction .   It&#39;s   when   you   see   a   growing   number   of   grown   people   pushing   their   dogs   around   and   baby   strollers   Such   a   Ray   what&#39;s   wrong   with   that ?   Or   placing   their   dogs   on   the   front   of   their   bikes   in   a   basket   with   sunglasses .

          I   grew   up   in   an   Arab   home   culture   where   you   constantly ,   where   you   eat   your   dog .   Don&#39;t   get   into   this   hot   dog   eaters .   Okay ,   we   are   Nitzel   men .   I   grew   up   in   a   home   where   you   just   give   your   dogs   away .   I   mean   all   my   life ,   every   dog   we&#39;ve   ever   had ,   just   give   it   away .   I   think   I   may   have   shared .   A   long   time   ago   our   poodle   tiny   had   bad   breath ,   helitosis .   My   sister   was   a   dental   hygienist .   They   would   try   to   brush   the   poor   dog&#39;s   teeth   Anyhow .

          No ,   this   was   a   dog   that   lost   its   lifetime   partner   from   the   previous   owners   and   it   was   utterly   depressed .   They   gave   it   to   us .   It   had   stinky   breath   One   day .   We   just   went   to   the   park .   I   go ,   what   are   we   doing ?   Oh ,   we&#39;re   just   going   to   the   park .   My   brother   takes   poor   tiny   out ,   puts   it   down   and   says   tiny ,   go   pee .

          I   know   it   was   at   Myles   Square   Park .   He&#39;s   still   there .   You   probably   came   across   tiny   Mark   when   he   lived   out   there   in   the   area .   Change   its   name   it   was   a   dog   that   would   go   pee   on   command .

          This   is   now   my   favorite   podcast .   I&#39;m   13   and   I&#39;ve   listened   to   every   episode   and   I   don&#39;t   know   how   I   listen   to   any   other   podcast .   It&#39;s   been   a   so   ray   of   comfort   for   me .   It   really   hits   the   mark .   It   really   deserves   an   Oscar .   It&#39;s   really   easy   to   listen   to   and   it&#39;s   really   helped   me   grow   in   a   relationship   with   the   Lord .   Ez   really   encouraged   me ,   so   I&#39;m   starting   a   Bible   memory   journey   and   I   was   wondering   if   you   could   do   an   episode   on   memorizing   the   Bible   or   your   favorite   Christian   movies ,   slash   show ,   ps .   All   my   family   agrees .   Ez   is   right   on   Augustine   and   different   flavors   of   coffees   and   gross .   I   would   like   EZ   to   do   more   poetry   on   the   channel   for   your   right .

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>10:58</time>
      <p>
          I   agree   with   the   poetry .   Yeah ,   it   was   four ,   it   was   four ,   four   times .   Ez   is   mentioned   four   times .

          Thank   you   for   doing   that   for   me ,   ray .   All   right   friends .   On   to   the   topic   of   the   day ,   examining   God&#39;s   gift   of   laughter .  
      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>12:57</time>
      <p>
          I   don&#39;t   think   it   should   be .   Anything   should   be   laughed   at .   What   do   you   know   about   laughter ?   No ,   laughing .  
      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>13:03</time>
      <p>
          Man ,   seriously ,   they&#39;re   talking   about   aliens   and   stuff   these   days .   You   guys   know   that ,   all   this   stuff   going   on   in   Congress   we   just   did   a   podcast   on   it   but   I   was   looking   at   some   drawings   and   stuff   that   they   have   of   these   aliens   and   these   things   look   like   they   have   no   sense   of   humor .   Seriously ,   how   much   it   would   stink   to   be   an   alien .   I   mean ,   do   you   ever   see   aliens   laughing ?   I   can&#39;t   imagine   aliens .  
      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>13:31</time>
      <p>
          Well ,   they   could   do   a   movie   of   laughing   aliens   and   be   different .  
      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>13:34</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   but   seriously .   Thank   you ,   lord   for   laughter .   One   of   the   most   common   compliments   we   get   on   the   podcast   is   that   it   brings   people   joy   and   cheer   and   they&#39;re   able   to   laugh .  
      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>13:51</time>
      <p>
          It&#39;s   fun   when   they   turn   it   off .   Yeah .

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>

          That&#39;s   the   best   part .   Yeah ,   and   guys ,   the   benefits   of   laughter .   I   want   you   to   listen   to   this .   This   is   from   mayoclinicorg .   It   says   this   is   short-term   benefits   of   laughter   Stimulates   many   organs .   Laughter   enhances   your   intake   of   oxygen .   Rich   air   stimulates   your   heart ,   lungs   and   muscles   and   increases   the   endorphins   that   are   released   by   your   brain .   It   activates   and   relieves   your   stress   response .   A   rollicking   laugh   fires   up   and   then   cools   down   your   stress   response ,   and   it   can   increase   and   then   decrease   your   heart   rate   and   blood   pressure .   The   result   a   good ,   relaxing   feeling ,   and   it   soothes   tension .   Laughter   can   also   stimulate   circulation   and   aid   muscle   relaxation ,   both   of   which   can   help   reduce   some   of   the   physical   symptoms   of   stress .

          I   remember   seeing   a   Peter   Sellers   movie   years   ago ,   one   of   the   Pink   Panther   ones .   I   didn&#39;t   watch   the   whole   movie   because   it&#39;s   dirty ,   but   this   portion   was   on   YouTube ,   reset   on   some   super   glue   or   something ,   and   it   just   because   it&#39;s   just   what   I&#39;m   like   and   I   just   couldn&#39;t .   I   fell   off   my   chair   physically   laughing   and   I   couldn&#39;t   stop .   It   was   horrible .   Seriously ,   it   was   horrible .

          No ,   but   what   is   it ?   What   is   laughter ?   It&#39;s   such   a   weird   phenomenon   that   I   mean   when   you ,   especially   when   we   know   we   speak   to   crowds   of   people   all   four   of   us   do ,   ray ,   it&#39;s   like   a   tonic ,   isn&#39;t   it ?   When   a   when   a   crowd   for   both   you   know   oh   yeah ,   for   both   the   audience   and   in   the   place   you   ain&#39;t   not   Ray ,   seriously ,   because   this   is ,   this   is   a   specialty   of   yours .   You&#39;ve   been   doing   it   for   a   while   I&#39;m   a   friend .

          But   he   says   his   preacher&#39;s   passes ,   sermons   are   as   dry   as   dust .   He   got   caught   saying   that   and   it   was   very   interesting .   Made   me   think   about   chicken   coop .   Our   chicken   coop   gets   his   dry   as   dust   every   week .   It&#39;s   just   something   about   it .   Just   read   right .   And   what   we   do   before   we   clean   the   chicken   coop   is   if   you   don&#39;t ,   you   spit ,   choke   together ,   death   on   dust .   Just   quick   spray   of   the   host ,   like   that ,   and   you&#39;ve   got   no   dust   and   there&#39;s   a   way   to   take   a   dry   as   dust   sermon   and   Sprinklet   with   water .   Yeah ,   and   that&#39;s   a   little   bit   of   humor ,   not   overdoing   it ,   just   a   little   spray   of   humor   right   at   the   beginning .   That   makes   them   and   you   feel   relaxed ,   because   the   fear   of   every   congregation ,   if   you&#39;re   a   new   preacher ,   is   oh ,   is   this   gonna   be   a   taste   of   eternity ?   Is   there   gonna   be   an   end ?   Is   there   light   at   the   end   of   the   tunnel ?   If   you   make   a   joke   right   at   the   beginning ,   I   don&#39;t   mean   a   silly   joke ,   but   just   a   little   bit   of   humor .   It   relieves   them   and   makes   them   realize   your   humor   Sorry ,   your   human   and   that   you&#39;re   gonna   Not   be   too   heavy   on   them   in   that   sense .   Yeah ,   cuz   you   got ,   you&#39;ve   got   a   sense   of   humor ,   so   it&#39;s   it&#39;s   essential   to   do   that .

          It   also   helps   with   memory   and   agreeability .   If   you   can   get   somebody   to   laugh   with   you ,   they   are   more   prone   to   become   agreeable .   Yes   from   a   preaching   perspective ,   that&#39;s   helpful   because   you   want   people   to   agree   with   God&#39;s   word .   From   an   evangelistic   perspective ,   that&#39;s   helpful   because   you   want   people   to   agree   with   God&#39;s   word .   It   also   Retriggers   their   attention   span ,   hmm ,   so   at   the   end   of   a   particular   point ,   you   know ,   at   five   or   ten   minute   point ,   it&#39;s   great   If   you ,   if   you   get   a   little   bit   of   laughter ,   because   it   retriggers   them   back   into   to   listening   to   what   you   have   to   say .

          You   know   I   talked   in   the   past   about   the   amygdala   hijack .   I   don&#39;t   know   if   you   guys   remember .   Oh   yeah ,   of   course   You&#39;re   engaged   in   a   conversation   and   somebody&#39;s   made   that   up   out   of   their   mind   and   they   cannot   relate   to   what   you&#39;re   saying .   They&#39;re   just   so   angry .   And   I   was   reading   how   do   you   get   somebody   out   of   an   amygdala   hijack ?   And   it   was   tell   a   joke .   Well ,   tell   a   joke   in   that   Real   lines   are   thinking .   It   brings   them   back   down   to   reality .   Now   they&#39;re   able   to   converse   with   you .   I   was   looking   up   on   got   questions   on   some   of   the   most   common   questions   that   are   asked   and   then   and   they   had   a   little   section   on   Silly   questions   that   came   in   where   they   just   didn&#39;t   know   what   to   do   with   no   cat .   How   do   you   answer   this ?   Let   me   read   one   of   those   questions   for   you .   It   was   Is   it   wrong   to   take   homeless   people   bowling   and   then   gamble   on   which   one   of   them   is   going   to   win ?   Essentially ,   a   group   of   young   people   would   pick   up   some   homeless   people ,   take   them   to   a   bowling   alley   and   buy   them   some   food ,   pay   for   their   bowling   and   then   gamble   on   which   one   of   them   would   win ,   not   having   an   idea   which   was   the   best   bowler .   So   that   was   an   honest   question   that   came   in   someone .

          They   didn&#39;t   know   how   to   respond   to   that .   Is   it   wrong   to   take   homeless   people   bowling   and   gambling ?   Which   one ?   What   do   you   do ,   you   know ,   with   that ?   I   mean ,   we   live   in   a   very   unusual ,   unusual ,   strange   place .   Did   Jesus   have   a   sense   of   humor ?

          Yes ,   absolutely ,   absolutely ,   and   and   and   that&#39;s   that&#39;s   a   really   good   question   mark .   And   then   I   want   to   question   mark .   But   why   is   it   seriously ?   Why   is   it   that   Certain   people   equate   humor   and   laughter   with   being   unspiritual ,   right ,   I   mean ?

          I   saw   a   guy   who   wrote   a   comment   on   a   sermon   I   preached   at   Chino   Hills   where   I   used   quite   a   bit   of   humor   throughout   the   whole   thing .   He   says   cut   the   humor .   Someone   said   that   he   says   cut   the   humor ,   it&#39;s   not   spiritual .   I   thought ,   well ,   you&#39;d   be   a   fun   person .

          Yeah ,   I   mean   seriously .   You   get   these   people   that   are   baptized   in   in   lemon   juice   and   they   just   will   not   laugh .   They   will   not .   It&#39;s   almost   like   oh ,   that&#39;s   not   good   this   time .   Where   do   we   get   that   from ?

          Yeah ,   where   does   that   come   from ?   It&#39;s   a   misunderstanding   of   the   joy   that   God   has   given   us   to   enjoy   in   this   world .   And   actually   there&#39;s   a   great .   I   Read   this   book   a   number   of   years   ago .

          It&#39;s   called   God   mocks   a   history   of   religious   satire   from   the   Hebrew   prophets   to   Stephen   Colbert ,   and   he   talks   about   the   both   the   good   ways   and   the   bad   ways   that   mockery   and   humor   is   used .   No ,   and   so   the   Old   Testament   talks   quite   a   bit ,   uses   mockery   quite   a   bit .   Interestingly ,   god   uses   mockery   in   the   Old   Testament   To   poke   fun   at   false   prophets   and   false   idols .   Psalm   2 ,   verse   4   he   who   sits   in   the   heavens   laughs .   The   Lord   scoffs   at   them .   Psalm   37   the   Lord   laughs   at   him   for   he   sees   his   day   coming .   Proverbs   3   though   he   scoffs   at   the   scoffers ,   yet   he   gives   grace   to   the   afflicted .   So   Proverbs   well ,   yeah ,   so ,   over   and   over   again   in   the   Old   Testament ,   what   we   see   is   that   God   Laughs   at   false   idols .   Even   the   phrase   is   like   it   has   eyes   but   cannot   see .   In   ears ,   be   can   but   cannot   hear .   It&#39;s   laughing ,   it&#39;s   mocking .   God   is   mocking   at   the   false   idols .   I&#39;ve   been   crazy .   Look   at   you ,   gave   it   eyes   and   it   cannot   see .

          And   then   it   goes   further   on   to   say   and   it&#39;s   dumb ,   and   those   that   make   them ,   I   like   them   exactly ,   really   dumb .  
      </p>

        <cite>Oscar Navarro</cite>
      <time>20:38</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   so   God   uses   mockery   in   the   Old   Testament   and   Jesus   uses   humor   in   the   new .   In   this   book   that   I   read ,   he   talks   about   how   we   Need   to   understand   the   nature   of   humor   and   how   it&#39;s   changed   over   time .   What&#39;s   funny   to   us   today   would   not   be   funny   2,000   years   ago .   Yeah ,   so   what   made   people   laugh   2,000   years   ago ?   He   observes   hyperbole ,   and   hyperbole   was   a   way   of   like   making   people   laugh .   It   was   the   humor   of   the   day .   So   when   he   says   you   can&#39;t   pass   through   the   eye   of   the   needle ,   he&#39;s   using   hyperbole   All   the   times   that   you   go .   So   think   about   just   use   that   idea   and   go   back   and   read   Matthew ,   mark ,   luke   and   John   and   see   how   Often   Jesus   uses   hyperbole   to   make   a   point .   People   his   onlookers   would   have   laughed   in   that   moment .   He   was   using   humor   to   make   a   point   that   stuck   strain   at   the   net .

          Yeah ,   now ,   obviously   we   know   that   there   are   certain   things   that   we   shouldn&#39;t   be   laughing   at ,   absolutely   and   your   jokes   Like   no   problem   concerning   that   one .

          Like ,   what   do   you   say   to   the   guy   who   says   it ?   Listen ,   I   don&#39;t   find   Brian   Rigen   or   Tim   Hawkins   or   Darren   Streblow   funny .   I   like   Joe   Rogan ,   I   like   Maybe   some   other   filthy   guys .   I   wrote ,   I   looked   up   some   guys   like   Daniel   Tosh ,   frankie   Boyle ,   dave   Chappelle   Hmm ,   these   are   the   guys   that   somebody   might   say .   I   find   that   these   guys   are   really   funny .   Yeah ,   what   you   want   me   to   smile   at .   Well ,   you   want   me   to   have   a   good   time   with   man .   Come   on ,   it&#39;s   so   bad .

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>22:12</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   well ,   I   would   say   you   need   to   read   first   Corinthians   13   love   does   not   rejoice ,   and   unrighteousness   and   what   these   guys   are   talking   about   are   unrighteous   things .   They&#39;re   things   that   shouldn&#39;t   even   be   spoken   of   Scripture   talks   about .  
      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>22:26</time>
      <p>
          But   some   of   the   things   they   say   are   funny ,   but   they&#39;re   laced   with   filth ,   right ,   it&#39;s   just   like   drinking   a   polluted   drink .

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>

          I   mean ,   when   I   was   a   teenager ,   you   guys   might   remember   Andrew   Dice   Clay .   He   was ,   like ,   known   to   be   the   filthiest   of   the   filthiest .   And   then   there   was   a   guy ,   sam   Kenneson ,   I   think .  
      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>22:41</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   he   was   really   bad .

          He   used   to   be   a   pastor   or   something ,   I   think   that   guy ,   or   at   least ,   professed   Christ ,   was   like   an   outspoken   believer .   And   then   he ,   of   course   and   that   usually   happens   right ,   it&#39;s   like   it   gets   even   worse   when   they ,   when   they   professed   Christ ,   and   then   go   into   the   world .   It&#39;s   like   they&#39;re   making   up ,   trying   to   make   up   for   lost   time   or   something   you   know .

          Darren   Strebler ,   who   mentioned   this ,   is   a   friend   of   ours ,   a   friend   of   mine .   I&#39;ve   known   him   for   years .   He&#39;s   part   of   clean   comedians ,   but   remember   we   had   we   went   to   a   restaurant   and   had   lunch   with   him   and   you   hear   someone   out   in   the   in   the   kitchen   dropped   a   whole   stack   of   plates   and   he   just   yelled   out   need   a   hug .

        <cite>Mark Spence</cite>

      <p>
          But   he   did   it   when   it   was   there&#39;s   absolute   silence ,   because   that   caused   a   great   commotion   when   the   dishes   fell   and   then ,   out   of   nowhere ,   the   silence   was   broke ,   with   Darren   yelling   out   do   you   need   a   hug ?   That&#39;s   right .

          Normally ,   when   I   hear   glass   break   at   a   restaurant ,   you   guys   have   probably   heard   me   say   this   I&#39;ll   wait   till   that   moment   of   silence .   I   go   job   opening .

          Also   when   Darren   I   told   Darren   in   New   Zealand   with   me .   I   might   have   talked   to   him   just   before ,   but   I   was   sitting   just   before   we   took   off   and   I   couldn&#39;t   believe   what   he   did .   He   had   stood   up ,   his   mouth   was   right   under   the   air   vent   and   he   was   drinking .   It   Just   made   me   laugh .   He   had   no   smile   on   his   face ,   and   that&#39;s   he&#39;s   genuinely   funny .   I   love   it .  
      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>23:57</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   and   so   it   is   good   to   laugh .   I   mean   I   love   the   verses   and   scripture   that   reference   laughter .   I   mean   Proverbs   17 ,   22, .   A   merry   heart   does   good   like   medicine ,   and   a   broken   spirit   dries   the   bones .   There   is   a   kind   of   this   medicinal   feeling   that   you   get   from   laughter .   I   mean   you&#39;ve   always   been   good   at   this ,   especially   with   my   kids ,   your   grandkids .   When   they&#39;ve   been   down   or   sad ,   you   try   to   make   them   laugh .

      <time>24:25</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   I   thought   you   were   going   to   mention   the   marshmallows   that   I   used   to   get .

          Yeah ,   we   can&#39;t   forget   that   that   was   crazy .   Ray   would   stuff   my   kids .

          They   hurt   themselves ,   they&#39;d   start ,   they&#39;d   fall   down   and   start   crying .   When   they   were   little   kids ,   I   had   a   big   jar   of   these   small   marshmallow   things   that   just   kind   of   grew   a   handful   and   stuff   in   their   hand   and   into   their   mouth .

          Proverbs   15, .   15   says   all   the   days   of   the   afflicted   are   evil ,   but   the   cheerful   of   heart   has   a   continual   feast .   You   know ,   I   grown   up   with   my   brothers .   There   was   a   lot   of   laughter   inside   the   house   and   usually   it   was   at   the   expense   of   one   of   us .   Whenever   somebody   would   come   inside   the   house   during   a   dry   moment ,   my   brothers   would   say   hey ,   mark ,   make   her   laugh ,   take   off   your   shirt .   They   were   always   so   quick   and   always   so   witty   and   no   ability   to   be   able   to   respond ,   because   if   you   did   respond   you&#39;d   get   beat   up .   Welcome   to   having   older   brothers .

          That   was   one   of   the   most   hilarious   and   through   water   balloons   at   me .   Well ,   we   had   strangers   throw   water   balloons   at   you .

          You   did ,   don&#39;t   forget   that   you   bring   up   a   good   point ,   which   is   because   the   scripture   also   warns   against   scoffing   and   mockers ,   and   so   there   is   certainly   verses   that   warns   us   about   a   kind   of   humor ,   a   kind   of   laughter   that   is   not   godly ,   and   we   often ,   I   think   the   wrong   thing   is   to   define   scoff   as   simple   mocking   or   jeering .   But   I&#39;ve   heard   it   said   actually   I&#39;ll   just   read   this   quote   this   person   says   that   when   we   scoff   in   a   sinful   way ,   we   crack   a   joke   in   order   to   expose   disrespect .   And   they   go   on   to   talk   about   how   scoffing   in   a   way   that   is   sinful   does   it   at   the   expense   of   excluding   another   person .   So   it&#39;s ,   in   other   words ,   it&#39;s   at   the   expense   of   another   in   a   way   that   makes   them   feel   excluded .   Yeah ,   Right .   That&#39;s   the   difference ,   which   means   you   can   make   a   joke   that   might   be   funny   to   one   person .   You   know   we   can   make   a   joke   about   Ray   being   short ,   but   if   we   made   a   joke   about   someone   else   being   short ,   maybe   it   would   be   a   kind   of   mockery .   That&#39;s   not   right   because   of   the   response   that   it   gets .   If   it   doesn&#39;t   bring   that   person   joy   or   camaraderie ,   then   yeah ,   it&#39;s   in   sin .

          This   is   a   great   point .   Yeah ,   that&#39;s   good .   At   what   point   does   humor   cross   the   line ?

          Yeah ,   yeah ,   I   think ,   when   it&#39;s   selfishly   motivated .   You   know   when   it&#39;s   carnal ,   oh ,   foolish   justing ,   yeah ,   of   course   justing .   When   it   carries   with   it   an   intent   to   hurt ,   to   wound ,   you   know   when   it&#39;s   sexual   driven ,   sexually   driven ,   yeah ,   uncouth ,   potty   humor ,   yeah ,   potty   humor .   All   of   that ,   you   know ,   it&#39;s   just ,   you&#39;re   going   outside   the   bounds   and   that&#39;s   why   I   love   these   comedians ,   even   some   of   them   that   aren&#39;t   believers ,   who   keep   it   clean .   Yes ,   and   they   show   you   that   you   don&#39;t   have   to   have   that   filled   in   order   to   laugh .   It   just   seems   like   the   world ,   the   godless ,   worldly   comedians .   Their   whole   aim   is   just   to   be   crude   in   order   to   get   a   laugh ,   and   that ,   to   me ,   is   like   that&#39;s   the   lowest   form   of   wit .

          You   know ,   I   find   it   interesting   Aaron   Mitchell ,   Aaron ,   the   actor   who   does   our   narration   for   a   television   program .   He   said   when   he   was   taking   a   class   on   stand   up   comedy ,   that   there   were   two   things   that   a   comedian   was   not   allowed   to   do .   A   promising   comedian ,   so   you   would   do   stand   up .   You   didn&#39;t   know   the   people   and   you   didn&#39;t   know   the   topics   that   were   coming   up .   So   the   different   subjects   are   being   thrown   at   you   and   you   had   to   just   work   with   it .   It&#39;s   called   improv ,   right ?   And   so   he   said ,   the   two   things   that   you&#39;re   not   allowed   to   do   as   a   comedian   is   you   are   not   allowed   not   secular ,   mind   you   You&#39;re   not   allowed   to   use   foul   language   and   you&#39;re   not   allowed   to   talk   about   fecal   matter .   He&#39;s   up   because   these   were   cheap   laughs ,   cheap   ways   in   order   to   get   people   to   laugh .   And   if   you   can   get   somebody   to   laugh   without   using   those   two   elements ,   then   you&#39;re   actually

          Why   is   this   the   first   time   we&#39;re   hearing   about   this ?   I   know   about   it .   He   was   an   improv   I&#39;ve   always   admired .   Comedy   sports ,   because   that&#39;s   a   nightmare   for   most   of   us .

          Improv   it   was   at   first ,   yeah ,   but   we   had   similar   rules   because   we   were   in   high   school ,   so   you   couldn&#39;t   cuss   and   you   couldn&#39;t   use   foul   language ,   and   it   was   really   helpful .

          I   was   back   then   Tell   me   a   joke .   I   got   nothing .   Yeah ,   I   think   at   the   expense   of   other   people   is   really   valuable .   I   also   think   that   there&#39;s   just   a   view   of   things   right   For   us .   I   think   we   poke   fun   at   each   other .   I   can   poke   fun   at   myself ,   and   there&#39;s   a   way   of   doing   it   that&#39;s   glorifying   because   ultimately ,   we   have   a   low   view   of   ourselves   and   a   high   view   of   God ,   and   that&#39;s   the   reason   why   jokes   at   me   don&#39;t   affect   me   from   people   that   I   love   and   trust   or   even   people   that   I   don&#39;t   Like .   I   have   a   low   view   of   myself .   I   find   truth   and   humor   in   the   reality   that   I&#39;m   imperfect   and   going   on   too   long   and   I   find   it   glorious   about   God   being   perfect .   And   so   I   also   think   that   humor   can   create   a   distinction   between   man   and   God .

          Yeah ,   yeah ,   and   I   think   you   need   to   be   sensitive   to   people .   You   nailed   it   earlier   about   talking   about   jokes   we   may   make   about   Ray   or   about   each   other   or   whatever .   We   all   know   that   we   find   that   funny   amongst   ourselves   and   we   enjoy   it ,   but   there   are   others   that   may   not ,   so   you   have   to   learn   to   read   the   room .

          Okay ,   so   this   is   a   great ,   great   point ,   right ?   What   do   we   do   for   the   listener   who   says   I&#39;m   the   butt   of   everybody&#39;s   joke ,   I&#39;m   being   bullied ,   right ?   Maybe   they&#39;re   in   junior   high   or   high   school ,   and   maybe   even   older .   Maybe   they&#39;re   employer ,   Maybe   they&#39;re   in   a   situation   where   they   are   being   bullied ,   continually   ridiculed .   How   do   they   handle   it ?

          Well ,   I   think ,   if   it&#39;s   an   environment   that   you   can   control ,   you   have   to   be   honest   with   people .   You   know   what   if ?   It&#39;s   high   school .   Yeah ,   that&#39;s   tough .   I   think   you&#39;ve   got   a ,   first   of   all ,   secure   identity   in   Christ .   Amen .   Bring   a   knife   yeah ,   you   have   to ,   you   have   to .   And   then   you   have   to   understand .   You   have   to   understand   the   world .   Right ,   and   Wait ,   did   I   miss   something ?   I   missed   it   too .

          I   saw   a   video   on   YouTube   where   this   guy   goes   into   an   assembly   setting   in   a   secular   school   and   he   said   I   want   you   to   make   fun   of   me   and   watch .   This   is   what   we   typically   do .   And   he   was   responding   back   to   the   accusations   of   this   girl   who&#39;s   going   off   your   shirt   is   ugly ,   my   shirt   is   ugly .   What   do   you   mean ?   My   shirt   is   ugly ,   this   shirt   rocks .   He   goes   and   you   have   it .   You   have   a   silly   accent ,   my   accent ,   no ,   I   don&#39;t .   And   he   starts   to   defend   himself .   And   that&#39;s   what   people   do   that   are   on   the   other   side   of   being   bullied .   Yeah ,   and   so   he   didn&#39;t   know   what   to   do ,   did   not   respond .   Everybody&#39;s   laughing   and   he   goes .   Now   watch .   This   is   how   you   handle   a   bully .   Maybe   you&#39;re   familiar   with   this .   If   not ,   look   it   up   on   YouTube .   And   so   your   shirt   is   ugly .   I   know   they   didn&#39;t   make   it   any   smaller ,   even   he   just   starts   rolling   with   the   punches   and   laughing   with   the   bully ,   and   his   point   was   a   A   bully   cannot   bully   you .   If   you   laugh   with   the   bully   now ,   if   you   roll   with   the   punches ,   well ,   then   he&#39;s   gonna   think   that   you&#39;re   hilarious   yourself ,   hmm ,   and   then   they   move   on   to   somebody   else   to   bully ,   which   is   yeah ,   that&#39;s   right ,   it&#39;s   YouTube .

          My   daughter   one   day   told   me   she   was   like   for   second   grade   is   my   youngest   daughter .   Who&#39;s   hilarious ?   And   she&#39;s   like ,   yeah ,   um ,   somebody   called   me   weird   at   school   today   and   I   was   like ,   oh   really ,   what   would   you   do ?   And   she   goes   yeah ,   it   runs   in   the   family .   I   Love   that   it   was   actually   truth .

          It&#39;s   true .   Yeah ,   I   think   you   do   that ,   you   know .   For   along   with   remembering   your   identity   in   Christ ,   your   acceptance   in   the   Lord ,   I   think   that   you   learn   to   also   keep   at   the   forefront   of   your   mind   the   understanding   that   this   is   what&#39;s   expected   from   the   world ,   in   the   sense   that   when   a   dog   barks ,   you   don&#39;t   get   shocked .   When   a   cat   meows ,   you   don&#39;t   get   shocked .   Right ,   when   a   Orange   tree   has   orange   blossoms   on   it ,   you   don&#39;t   get   shocked .   So   you   have   to   remember   that&#39;s   the   way   of   the   world .   And   then   you   have   to   remember   who   they   are .   They&#39;re   lost ,   they&#39;re   blind ,   they&#39;re   dead .   So   you   need   to   still   be   thinking   as   a   believer ,   right ,   how   can   I   still   reach   them   with   the   gospel ?   And   and   how   do   you ?   I   mean   scripture ,   scary .   We   often   forget   these   verses .   You   love   your   enemies ,   you   pray   for   them ,   you   do   good   to   them .   You   know   I   love   that   too ,   mark ,   you   learn   to   roll   with   the   punches   and   just   kind   of   shrug   it   off   and   laugh   and   say   something   witty   and   response .   You   know .   And   and   then   you ,   you   talk .   You   talk   to   your   parents ,   you   talk   to   your   good   friends ,   you   pour   your   heart   out   to   God   and   you   confess   your   struggle   and   the   pain   that   you&#39;re   feeling .   And   you   ask   him   to   help   you   and   strengthen   you   and   make   you   a   light .

          If   it&#39;s   of   a ,   if   it&#39;s   of   a   nature   abuse   that   is   abusive ,   you   need   to   get   help   absolutely   and   you   need   to   enlist   others .   It   can   help   you   in   that   you   know .

          I   think   it&#39;s   important .   I   love   what   you   said ,   like   if   there   is   a   point   where   it   becomes   abusive   and   unhealthy ,   and   yeah ,   you   need   it ,   you   need   to   ask   for   help .   There   is .   I   think   one   of   the   lies   that   happens   when   we   are   being   abused   or   belittled   is   that   people   tend   to   think   I   deserve   this ,   or   this   happens   because   I   am   weak ,   I   am   small ,   whatever   the   case   is ,   and   that   thing   is   not   happening   to   you   because   there&#39;s   something   Intrinsically   wrong   with   you .   It   is   not   your   fault   when   you&#39;re   experiencing   that   kind   of   abuse .   There&#39;s   not   something   wrong   with   you   in   that   situation .   There&#39;s   something   wrong   with   the   person   that&#39;s   sinning   against   you .   And   so   often   that   lie   prevents   people   from   going   and   asking   for   Help   and   getting   support   because   they   think   this   is   on   me ,   this   is   my   fault ,   I&#39;m   confessing   some   sort   of   weakness   that   I   have   by   going   and   getting   help   by .   That   is   a   lie   from   the   devil .   Yeah ,   and   we   all   need   help   at   times   Especially   easy   you   have   to   ask   for   it .   That   hurts   my   feelings .

          I   was   just   thinking   like   what   is ,   what   is   the   situation   where   you ,   you   just   don&#39;t   want   Something   that   you   don&#39;t   want   to   say   in   front   of   somebody   and   like   I   think   a   good   example   for   us   is ,   like   you ,   how   bald   Eddie   Roman   is ,   like   he&#39;s   so   bald .

          Bold   bald .   He&#39;s   listening .   By   the   way ,   I&#39;ll   tell   you   some   of   the   the   best   times   for   Rachel   and   me   is   when   we&#39;ve   had   some   point   of   tension   between   us ,   and   Then   one   of   us   will   crack   a   joke   and   gonna   be ,   rachel   wouldn&#39;t   know .   Typically ,   and   we&#39;ll   both   just   break   down   in   the   laughter   and   seriously ,   it&#39;s   like   instant   healing .

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>36:24</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   and   we   just   realized   that   was   why   were   we ,   you   know ,   arguing   over   that   or   having   tension   over   that ?

          You   know ,   it   just   immediately   brings   reconciliation   and   again ,   it&#39;s   like   this   medicine ,   it&#39;s   like   it&#39;s   just   just   instant   shot   of ,   of   boosting ,   you   know ,   pleasure   and   going   back   to   what   I   said   earlier ,   because   Kelly ,   kelly   and   I   say   that   often   she   says   it   more   often   like   humor   is   such   an   powerful   tool   in   our   marriage   and   what   is   it   doing   that   moment ?   It   makes   you   realize   how   small   that   thing   is ,   that   you&#39;re   about   to   make   really   big   yeah   right ,   yeah ,   so   it&#39;s   always   laughing   at   me .

      <time>36:59</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   I   love   this .   In   Psalm   126 ,   1   to   3 ,   when   the   Lord   brought   back   the   captivity   of   Zion ,   we   were   like   those   who   dream .   Then   our   mouth   was   filled   with   laughter   and   our   tongue   was   singing .   Then   they   said   among   the   nations   the   Lord   has   done   great   things   for   them ,   the   Lord   has   done   great   things   for   us   and   we   are   glad .   What   scriptures   that .

          That&#39;s   Psalm   126   1   to   3   and   speaking   of   that ,   spurgeon   said   if   anyone&#39;s   mouth   ought   to   be   full   of   laughter ,   it   should   certainly   be   ours ,   speaking   of   the   Oscillation   between   tears   and   laughter   when   it   comes   to   God&#39;s   salvation   that   he&#39;s   crowded   us .

          I   mean ,   again ,   you   know   that   laughter   is   often   a   byproduct   of   being   relaxed .   Enjoy ,   yeah ,   being   being   at   peace ,   being   at   ease ,   and   all   of   that   is   Is   a   byproduct   of   knowing   the   Lord ,   you   know ,   trusting   God .   I   mean   usually   someone ,   typically ,   when   they&#39;re   tense ,   you   know ,   and   just   stressed   and   frazzled ,   it&#39;s   hard   to   get   them   to   laugh ,   you   know ,   because   they&#39;re   just   so   wound   up .   But   but   when   you&#39;re   in   that   relaxed ,   at   ease   mode ,   you&#39;re   open   to   that   and   and   it   just   it&#39;s   that   kind   of   gift   that   keeps   on   giving   and   so   we   need   to   keep   our   focus   where   it   should   be   on .

          I&#39;ve   mentioned   it   before ,   but   it&#39;s   it&#39;s   applicable   at   the   moment .   I   remember   when   came   out   of   a   vet   veterinarian   where   a   dog   had   been   put   down   our   dog   he   put   down ,   but   a   mother   and   a   daughter ,   and   she   wasn&#39;t   a   30s .   The   daughter   came   out   just   absolutely   destroyed   because   they&#39;re   their   dog   had   been   put   down .   It   was   a   big   dog   which   is   harder   to   put   down   than   a   little   dog .   Anyway ,   okay ,   the   million   dollar   bill .   As   they   came   out   blubbing   their   eyes   out ,   I   said   this   will   help   you   pay   the   bill   and   they   both   burst   out   laughing   and   when   walking   down   the   sidewalk ,   Still   laughing   you   know   we   used   to   have   a   gospel   track   called   Matt   as   hell .  
      </p>

      <time>38:45</time>
      <p>
          That&#39;s   right   and   there   was   a   bad   road   rage   scenario   that   that   I   had   witnessed   and   this   guy   pulls   up   to   the   gas   station   and   he&#39;s   yelling   and   he&#39;s   cussing   at   this   guy   that   had   Cut   him   off   or   something .   And   I   went   up   to   him   and   I   had   that   gospel   track   Matt   is   how   and   I   go .   You   look   like   you   could   Really   use   this .   I   didn&#39;t   know   what   to   do .   I   was   just   bracing   myself   and   he   looked   at   it   and   just   started   laughing .   You   know   I   had   it .   Yeah ,   Matt   is   hell .  
      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>39:08</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   gospel   track .   And   you   know   it&#39;s   interesting ,   isn&#39;t   it   that   at   funerals ,   typically   at   the   wake   or   even   at   the   funeral ,   people   will   get   up   and   start   sharing   memories   and   people   start   laughing .   Yeah ,   and   you   would   think ,   wait ,   this   is   a   funeral .   Why   are   you   laughing ?   You   know ,   and   I   grew   up   in   in   the   Catholic   context   where   you   didn&#39;t   do   that .   I   mean ,   at   funerals ,   everyone   is   in   black ,   black .

But   but   for   the   believer   especially ,   I   mean   it&#39;s   healing   as   people   are   mourning   and   weeping   it .   There&#39;s   those   moments   of   laughter   as   you&#39;re   remembering   the   person   and   God   uses   it   to   give   you   that   sense   of   comfort   and   my   Funeral   is   gonna   be   hilarious   with   you   heating   it   up .

Strength   and   dignity   are   her   clothing   and   she   laughs   at   time   to   come .

          And   you   know   it&#39;s   interesting   when   you   think   about   you   know   Abraham   and   Sarah   and   the   promise   that   God   gave   them   that   they   were   gonna   have   a   son ,   and   you   remember   Sarah   laughed   and   it   was   not   the   right   kind   of   laughter ,   right ,   and   you   know ,   and   she&#39;s   like   I   did   and   he&#39;s   like   no ,   but   you   did   laugh   right   there .

          No ,   it   didn&#39;t   just   no ,   didn&#39;t ,   yeah .   But   then   she   has   Isaac ,   right ,   and   I   love   what   it   says   in   21 ,   6   of   Genesis .   It   says   and   Sarah   said   God   has   made   me   laugh ,   yeah ,   and   all   who   here   will   laugh   with   me .   You   know ,   like   that   came   to   that   point   where   now   it   became   righteous   laughter ,   like   Joyous   laughter ,   like   Lord   you   did   it .   Isaac   means   laughter ,   yeah ,   and   Isaac   means   laughter   I   sick .

          I&#39;m   gonna   go   back   to   laughter .   What   you   brought   up   earlier   and   what   you   kind   of   touched   on ,   which   is   the   idea   that   because   maybe   there&#39;s   a   new   believer   here   listening ,   that   is   like   has   that ?   Wow ,   you   know ,   like   I ,   I   do   still   find   these   comedians   Funny   that   maybe   I   shouldn&#39;t   be   fine   funny .   I&#39;m   reminded   of   Romans ,   which   says   do   not   conform   to   the   patterns   of   this   world ,   but   be   Transformed   by   the   renewing   of   your   mind .   And   it   goes   on   to   say   so   that   you   can   attest .   Maybe   right   now   you   have   not   been   able   to   attest   yet ,   because   there&#39;s   still   more   transformative   work   to   happen   in   your   mind   and   the   only   way   that   happens   is   by   saturating   your   mind   with   God&#39;s   words   surrounding   yourselves ,   with   the   community   of   believers ,   so   that   your   Flavor   palette   of   humor   will   be   changed ,   so   that   your   mind   will   be   transformed ,   so   that   you   can   be   able   to   enjoy   Godly   humor   and   begin   to   attest   to ,   to   the   tasteless ,   ungodly   humor   that   you   have   now ,   not   much   different   than   when ,   like   my   kids ,   kids   just   don&#39;t   have   the   same   robust   flavor   palette   as   most   adults .   Besides ,   easy ,   right   there ,   flavor   palette   hasn&#39;t   developed   yet .   But   when   you   get   older ,   your   flavor   palette   develops   and   you   can   take .   You&#39;re   not   just   wanting   the   sweet ,   you   want   the   savory .   You   want   it   All   in   that   same   way   as   believers .   We   need   to   develop   that   flavor   palette .   We   need   our ,   our   minds   to   be   transformed ,   to   be   more   like   Christ .

          Yeah   there&#39;s   something   sweet   about   righteous   laughter ,   and   especially   when   it&#39;s   among   People   that   you   know   and   that&#39;s   really   a   whole   part   of   community .   I   mean   humor   oftentimes   comes   with   Familiarity .   I   mean   we   have   so   many   inside   jokes   between   us   all   here   because   we&#39;ve   known   each   other   for   so   long   and   we   can   just   too   long   we   can   say   a   word   right ,   or   give   an   expression   or ,   and   immediately   we   start   laughing   because   it   triggers   all   of   that ,   and   so   I   like   that ,   oscar .   Community   enhances   laughter ,   and   then   becoming   accustomed   to   the   righteous   Attributes   that   should   be   longed   us   as   believers   through   the   word   and   living   them   out   will   also   enhance   appreciating   righteous   laughter .   So   one   final   thing   here   and   we&#39;ll   wrap   up .   But   I   talked   about   earlier   that   the   short-term   effects   of   laughter .   Here   are   the   long-term   effects .   You   improve   your   immune   system ,   you   relieve   pain ,   you   increase   personal   satisfaction   and   you   improve   your   mood ,   and   these   things   can   carry   over   into   long-term   impact   through   being   a   people   of   laughter .   All   right ,   friends ,   there   you   have   it .   We   hope   to   keep   you   laughing   through   the   years .   So   please ,   let   us   help   you .
