God’s Kind of Funny (And He Can Take Your Messy Moments): Susan Isaacs The Jesus Storybook Bible Podcast

    • Christianisme

We don’t give God enough credit, comedian Susan Isaacs says. He can take the moments when we’re confused or upset—even at him—because he loves us even when we’re “unlovable.” Susan shares when she discovered that her “God with a posh British accent” wasn’t out to get her. In fact, He was her soft place to land (and could even share a joke or two).
 
Quotes
“God made us fully human. I think of the ways that God surprises me, that kind of plays jokes on me, and surprises me and makes me laugh. If it's part of us, it's also part of God because we're made in His image.” —Susan Isaacs
“I was done keeping my spiritual life from the rest of my life, I'm like, ‘This is what's happening, and I'm done trying to please two sides of the fence. I'm just going to be honest.’ And that's when things really started to move in my life personally, professionally, spiritually. And it's funny, I really felt like God's like, ‘There she is. That's my girl.’” —Susan Isaacs
“I think we don't give God enough credit, and we don't trust Him enough to be completely honest, that ‘If I go to the depths, You are there. There's no place that's too dark for You.’” —Susan Isaacs
