"I know where I stand with my faith, I don't know where I stand with the Church."

After diving into Michael's Comedy Career, we unpack where he's at with his faith and we get into a much-needed conversation about the church we've seen over the last decade. From sexual sins causing pastors to fall to treating the outside world as outcasts and not loving people like Christ did. We cover it all in this "Heart of the Show" Segment.

Sow a Seed into I Like Birds Here

Dallas Comedian Michael Pasvar joins us to unpack his new comedy special "I Like Your Jesus." This leads us into the raw and real convo about whether or not the church loves people enough. “I know where I stand with my faith, I don’t know where I stand with the Church.” This was a much-needed convo with a brother who loves the Lord but has been disappointed with his experiences of a church and the great fall of a famous local pastor.

Cory Losier spent ages 13-33 being a drug addict. Meth was his go-to drug and his addiction dominated his life to the point he knowingly shared needles with an HIV-positive person and even burned down his parents' kitchen on Christmas Eve. Jesus intervened ten years into his addiction but it wasn't before going to prison that Cory was walking with Christ. This is a POWERFUL story of hope and redemption even for people born with the last name LOSER. Give this one a watch and share it with your peeps!

Hear about these highlights and so much more:
