Key Takeaways:

  • Humor is amusingly subverted expectations, probably
  • The Gospel is full of paradoxes which are mysterious but not illogical
  • God the Father is probably humorous, but His jokes go way over our head
  • Both Jesus and Scripture are really funny at times, but we should be careful not to anachronistically turn them into standup comedy
  • Fallen humor is rotten, low-hanging fruit, redeemed humor is fresh, high-hanging fruit
  • Godly humor is humbling, community-building, and perspective-resetting
