    How do you expect him to be an anointed man of God if he can’t privately be up there with him?!? 😂
  • @pmwiky
    I've repeatedly asked, but why is it when these men of God need money, they ask YOU! but when YOU need money they tell you to "TRUST GOD" #MakeItMakeSense

    THE AMOUNT OF PASTORS DRESSING UP LIKE PIMPS NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT!! Josh you smashed the nail on the head
  • @LydiAtheistLady
    The pastor that would come to us when I stayed at a Juvenile Detention Center wore alligator shoes, had a freaking feather in his hat, had gold rings, nice watch, & expensive looking well tailored suits. Literally dressed like a pimp. Only thing missing was a pimp cane which he probably has in his car. 😂😂😂

    When Josh said people are mistaking God for their intrusive thoughts. I almost yelled in laughter.. so much facts and humor at once.. people are mistaking God for their desires.
  • @AmberFlips
    My childhood church is a hundred million dollar monster that’s been bilking its followers for 50+ years. They’re currently holding a charity drive to give clothing and toiletries to the unhoused. It’s such a joke; they have enough acreage to renovate existing campus properties to provide temporary/halfway housing, counseling, and sobriety workshops. They don’t wanna spend their money, only the flock’s funds.
  • @margot5x5x5
    "mistaken God for their intrusive thoughts" genius! 😅😂🎉
  • @DemoniqueLewis
    As a Christian preacher I have to admit, this man preached one of the best sermons I’ve heard all year! I’m made I can’t share this with others because they would be so offended but he is speaking truth for most of it. Book of Malachi tells how this generation of mega church pastors act.
  • @eosborne6495
    Usually the young comics focus on the laughs per minute, and only the Chapelles and the Carlins have enough confidence to just straight up tell a story with or without laughs. Josh is doing standup like a veteran, he’s dealing with serious topics and creating characters like a true storyteller and also making it funny as hell.

    As someone who grew up watching her mother financially struggle but still give all her money to the church to the detriment of her children and herself……this HITS HARD
  • “It’s your job as a citizen of the world to help people that you may never have met. It is your actual duty as a living, breathing, empathetic individual, that you have to do something if someone, somewhere is hurting. You don’t need to know them and you don’t need to know why they got there, that’s none of your business. It’s important to help someone.”
  • 12:18 Did anybody hear about the pastor in Bryan, Ohio who took people in to his church to shelter them from the freezing cold weather but was taken to court for doing so because of zoning laws?? There are good pastors out there actually trying to do God's work, and getting shut down for no good reason! When I heard about this I was livid! I love the part where he said we should be doing the work to the point where it's uncomfortable. Church should be a place where everyone is welcomed and we care for each other, not a club with a bunch of cliques.
  • @bevwest7428
    “The amount of pastors dressing like pimps needs to be talked about.” YES!❤😂
  • @RTDavis0503
    This was one of the best non-biased critiques on churches today. I'm a Christian and I'm so tired of these pastors preaching about prosperity instead of salvation as Jesus (Yeshua )instructed them.
  • @rd0dave
    As a devout Christian in recovery this was one of the best sermons I wish I was hearing from the pastors at the pulpit. Everything about this was so fucking true, especially the uncomfortable part. I love it.
  • As a former missionary… thank you for using comedy to raise awareness.
  • @kelleyoco
    This exactly. I've been saying for years that if churches aren't providing some sort of social service, they shouldn't be tax-exempt. You aren't feeding, clothing, providing free childcare, health services, or elder care? pay up kid, the government can do it with your money if you can't be bothered to care about others.
  • “I think what has happened is they’ve mistaken God for their intrusive thought.” 🙌🏽
  • @aliepatchik8277
    This may be an odd comment, but I want to thank you, Josh. I have a severe anxiety disorder and Bipolar disorder, and whenever I'm feeling really bad, I can always count on your videos to make me feel better. Thank you. I hope you know that you provide more than just laughs. You provide help for people like me too.
