Listener Reviews
"In the land of ‘heavy’ podcasts that are divisive or featuring so-called experts self-promoting, yours is a breath of fresh air. A podcast exists to just talk about life, to have fun, with no agenda or script. In other words, “nothing”. Entertaining and enjoyable. And sometimes “something. “
"This is ridiculous, but sometimes funny." (A teenage kid to his mom, who was listening in the car)

This week on Hey, Are You Still There?, Mike flies solo for a fun and thought-provoking episode covering stand-up comedy, ministry, introversion, faith, and family life.
Mike recaps a packed weekend that included performing clean stand-up comedy at the Friends of Stokes Shelter fundraising gala and preaching at the church of one of his former high school teachers. He also takes a deep dive into the often misunderstood world of introverts, explaining how someone who prefers quiet and solitude can still thrive on stage as both a pastor and stand-up comedian.
The conversation shifts to family entertainment as Mike shares thoughts on rewatching Ted Lasso and The Walking Dead, leading to an unforgettable—and hilarious—story about a former church member who left the church because of Mike’s taste in television shows.
If you enjoy clean comedy, Christian podcasts, faith-based conversations, ministry stories, personality insights, and behind-the-scenes looks at the life of a comedian and pastor, this episode is for you.
Topics include:
- Stand-up comedy and performing at charity events
- Life as an introvert
- Ministry and public speaking
- Ted Lasso and The Walking Dead
- Funny church stories
- Faith, family, and everyday life
