Title: What’s so Funny About Faith?

In this deeply honest and vulnerable episode, Kerri and Suze jump from lighthearted life updates into a powerful conversation about faith, trauma, deconstruction, and the tension between personal pain and public expression.

From airport flirtations sparked by a bold “Jesus is better” hat to a sobering discussion about a fellow comedian’s journey away from Christianity, this episode explores how life experiences—especially trauma—can shape belief systems.

They wrestle with big questions:

• What happens when someone walks away from faith?
• Is it rebellion, pain, or something deeper?
• How should Christians respond—with anger, heartbreak, or compassion?

Suze shares a deeply personal story about how harmful church leadership impacted her trust in Christianity, while Kerri reflects on her own perspective shaped by a positive faith upbringing. Together, they model what it looks like to hold truth, emotion, and empathy at the same time.

The episode ultimately lands on hope: that faith journeys are rarely linear, God plays the long game, and no one is beyond redemption.

Key Takeaways;

• Pain often shapes belief more than logic
• Trauma + bad theology can deeply distort faith
• You can feel heartbreak, anger, and compassion at once
• Jesus and people are not the same—don’t confuse them
• God’s timeline is longer than our judgment
• The most Christ-like response is prayer, not condemnation
• And as always- be kind.
