In this episode of No Longer Nomads, we sit down with Anthony Russo, comedian, improv performer, and creator of The Bible is Funny project. Anthony shares the story behind his viral card game, how humor and faith can go hand-in-hand, and why joy is deeply connected to our spiritual lives.

We dive into:
- How The Bible is Funny started and grew into a card game
