The Ministry of Laughter
A Holy Shift Video Conversation
Since its launch this summer, The Holy Shift has explored heady concepts such as holiness and humility. And while we primarily want to be a safe place for folks to tangle with tough theology, we also believe in the ministry of laughter.
Bottom line: Humor is holy, too, and we can all use an extra heap of happy right now. So we asked one of our funniest friends, Jen Harp from Big Girl on a Mission, to join us in a little lighthearted Holy Shift conversation.
In this video, we explore tough questions such as:
- Why some Christians take themselves too darn seriously
- Why gray hair is so darn aggressive
- Why living in your car is not at all like urban camping
- Why side parts are still what the cool kids do
- How to accidentally move into a “Tiny Trailer Town” for active adults
We also briefly touch on actually helpful stuff like:
- How not to be a hypocritical, judgmental, Bible-thumping, legalistic zealot
- How to speak the truth in love, no matter your personality type and enneagram number
- How to deal with difficult people and awkward conversations this holiday season
- Why we should lower our expectations of people in general
- Why striving sets us up for failure
- How to “Bloom where you’re planted”
- How to have a mid-life
crisisadventure - How to build community, anywhere and with anyone
So if you are in need of a little laughter with some truth and goodness mixed in, this one’s for you!

We would also love to hear your thoughts! How have laughter and humor ministered to you?
