Church soup is the satirical news show hosted by Keith Foskey. 

This week on Church Soup, the internet serves up another bowl of theological confusion, questionable decisions, and one genuinely heroic story. We cover the largest Easter drone show ever, a video game that lets players perform miracles as Jesus, and an AI “Jesus” charging $1.99 per minute for simulated prayer. Yes, really.

We also examine a troubling case involving a self-proclaimed apostle whose reckless actions resulted in tragedy, a church singing Disney songs in corporate worship (because apparently we don’t talk about Bruno… but we will talk about this), and yet another public figure misunderstanding who Jesus actually claimed to be.

But not everything this week is discouraging. One courageous high school principal stepped in to stop a potential tragedy, reminding us what real heroism actually looks like. As always, we aim to call balls and strikes, highlight theological concerns, and occasionally laugh at the absurdity of the modern religious landscape.

Each week, Pastor Keith Foskey and his wife Jennifer answer email questions about ministry, the bible, and theology from all around the world as well as engaging with their live audience in the comments. Come join the fun!

Church Soup is a satirical news show in the tradition of Talk Soup and SNL Weekend Update. We look at some of the strangest stories making headlines across the Christian world and beyond.On this episode, a self-proclaimed apostle claims God is miraculously materializing money during his meetings. A church runs an Easter advertisement featuring the Playboy bunny logo. A professor from a historic Christian university faces serious criminal charges. A prosperity preacher explains his theology while dressed like Evel Knievel. A Presbyterian church hosts a Muslim call to prayer. And somewhere along the way, pew running becomes an Olympic-level event.We also cover the Artemis II mission to the moon, controversy surrounding religious expression in professional sports, and a bizarre lawsuit involving a joke about the Lion King.As always, Church Soup gathers the week’s most interesting stories, blends them together, and serves them up with a little commentary.If you enjoy the show, be sure to like, subscribe, and share.#ChurchSoup #ChristianNews #Satire #ChurchCommentary #Reformed #ChristianYouTubeSupport the Show: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/YourcalvinistLove Coffee?
