Bible Belt Bros Christian Comedy Podcast
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. Why We Started This Podcast Let’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. We 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. That’s where this podcast was born. The 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. Who Are the Bible Belt Bros? We’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. We 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. But 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. What You Can Expect from Each Episode Each 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. Here’s what we bring to the table: 1. Hilarious Church Stories You 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. 2. Hot Takes on Church Culture We 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? 3. Real Faith Conversations We 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. 4. Unfiltered Rants (The Holy Kind) Sometimes 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. 5. Relatable Guests and Stories We’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. We believe church should be a place where you can be yourself. Where you can bring your doubts, your jokes, your sarcasm, and your snacks. So 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. The 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. Come for the comedy. Stay for the community.

Welcome to the warm, carpet-stained pews of Christian comedy. If you’ve ever been to church and left with more emotional bruises than a youth group dodgeball game, this one’s for you.
This is the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, where today we talk about something spiritual, something sacred, and something that’s honestly kind of annoying—church hurt. That glorious blend of disappointment, weird rules, and that one guy who took your seat f...
So apparently, 10,000 Southern Baptists walked into a convention center, and it wasn't the setup to a joke. It was the setup to cancel everything fun in my life.
I'm talking about the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting, where they decided to target—and I quote—"pornography, sports betting, and same-sex marriage, as well as...
Let me start with a confession: I tried to become a millionaire at QuickTrip this morning. Not through some elaborate business scheme or scratch-off lottery tickets, but through the tried-and-true method of spilling scalding coffee on my crotch and suing for damages.
Turns out QuickTrip has gotten smart about their McDonald's-style hot coffee lawsuits. They've apparently just turned dow...
You know it's summer when your youth pastor starts doing mental math every Wednesday night, trying to figure out why attendance dropped from 75 kids to, like, 12. And somehow those 12 kids are all the ones whose parents make them come no matter what—the homeschooled kids who wear polo shirts tucked into khakis and know every verse to "How Great Thou Art" by heart.
Welcome to what churches across America lik...
Welcome to the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, where theology meets swipe culture — kind of. In this episode, Andrew and Dusty channel their inner youth group energy and decide to play a little game: swiping left or right on Bible characters. Yes, it’s as ridiculous and wonderful as it sounds.
If you're new here, this isn't your grandma’s Bible s...
What do zookeeping, spiritual gift tests, and wildly questionable discernment scores have in common? This episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, that’s what. Join Andrew and Dusty as they tackle deep theological mysteries like “Did Jesus stand on soapboxes?” and “Can ‘Helps’ actually be a spiritual gift, or is that just Christian for ‘people pleaser’?” It’s equal parts hilarious roast and accidental insight—plus, Andrew might be c...
After weeks of guest overload, this episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast finally brings Dusty and Andrew back together, unfiltered and unaccompanied—basically a bro version of couples therapy, if therapy involved mall stories, public education law, and sarcastic jabs about the King James Bible.
The conversation opens like most deep theological discussions do—at the mall.
Turns out both guys used to work there. Andrew was Dusty’s ...
In this special episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Andrew and Dusty sit down with their long-time pastor and mentor, Rusty Gunn, for an honest conversation about leadership, calling, and transition.

This week on the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew welcome a special guest whose resume includes both pulpits and punchlines — comedian and former preacher Jeremy Alder. From awkward church giveaways to parallel thinking in comedy, this episode blends hilarious storytelling with deep reflections on faith, creativity, and cringe-worthy church culture.
The episode opens with a bang — quite literally — as Jeremy learns about D...
In this episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew dive into a topic that hits a little too close to home—volunteer burnout in the church. We’re not just talking about the “I need a nap” kind of burnout—we mean the “Why did I say yes to this...again?” kind. 😅
We’ve all seen it (or been it)—that faithful volunteer who’s running slides, leading worship, brewing the coffee, and fixing the WiFi router—all before the past...
In this episode of Bible Belt Bros, Andrew and Dusty dive into a conversation that might make you think twice next time you're singing along to your favorite worship song. We’ve all heard people talk about how secular music can be used by the enemy — glorifying sin, stirring up pride, or pulling our focus away from God. But what about Christian music?
Yeah... buckle up.
This week, we talk about how Satan doesn’t just use what’s pla...

Dusty and Andrew examine how Sunday School has changed in modern churches, weighing the pros and cons of different approaches they've experienced. This episode covers the transition from traditional Sunday School to contemporary formats, featuring their firsthand stories and observations of what's working and what isn't in church education.
Today, we're diving headfirst into a topic that's bound to stir up some feelings: what happens when a pastor leaves the church?
We're talking all things messy – the emotional fallout, the unexpected drama, and how these situations can tear a congregation apart. Dusty and Andrew share their own experiences, both the good and the bad, and we'll be getting real about how people react when their spiritual leader steps down.
It's easy to think that "I'm the only one dealing with this battle," but honestly, you're not alone. It may not be the exact same issue, but the root is the same. We ALL are fallen. We ALL are in need of a savior. We ALL have a battle.
So it's time to TESTIFY! In this episode, Brett Mortaruolo shares his story in hopes that you will realize that, no matter the battle, you're not alone.
In this episode, we catch up from a couple weeks off. Dusty is upset that Andrew doesn't have Christmas Spirit aka Christmas Lights up at his house. We also dive into the question, "What if God isn't Real?" How would that affect our life?
