This gentleman and the African American comedian are excellent and talented. One does not have to curse every three seconds to be funny or do a bit. Well done.
“That’s the coolest part about being a Christian, man, is that everyone’s got their own different flavor. If you’re serving Jesus, you’re good with me, it doesn’t bother me at all.” Amen, brother. I wish we could all have that attitude.
We had a lady named Mrs Rachel. Mom would sit me beside her while she went up and led congregational singing. The problem was that one never knew when Mrs Rachel would jump up and let out a shout!! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!! I tried to watch her for signs … you know … like …a pressure cooker has a jiggler!!! She always had a ladies cloth handkerchief in her hand, and when she’d shout, she’d wave it. That confused me because it seemed there was Victory in the shout, and surrender with white flag. Now, as an older lady myself, I understand that in surrender we win the Victory!!! And that reminds me of “one of” my mom’s favorite songs. Thanks for all you do…we need the laughter!! God Bless. 🙏🏻
We used to go to a Pentecostal church. They did an altar call and some people went up. A female pastor was praying for one of the women and kept trying to ease her back. She did this several times until they both went tumbling and the Pastor's shoe flew off 😆. One of my friends was sitting elsewhere and she was laughing so hard her friend next to her had to put a coat over her 🤣. Never a dull moment in that church 🤣.
After I married my husband, we visited his home town church. That week the worship leader was absent and since I was a worship leader, I was asked if I could lead the worship. This was back in the 80’s. Little did I know there was a precious little lady who sat on the front row and loved to sing. She had a very strong accent and an operatic voice. She loved to sing Vibrato (her voice vibrated between notes for those who are unfamiliar with the Latin word). The most memorable part of her singing was that she sang loud with gusto and was off key! I started leading the first song and she entered in with such enthusiasm that I nearly fell off my high heeled shoes! It kind of threw me for a loop and I had to catch up with the music. 😂. I loved that lady and it is one of my fondest memories. ❤
@@Stacy1368 thank you Stacy, I love people who are enthusiastic worshippers. My daughter-in-law’s cousin sings with total enthusiasm and sings off key. I try to sit by her every Sunday. I can just imagine that God is sitting on the throne with a twinkle in his eye looking at her adoringly. He sees the love.
@@der_Allsehende_Seher Thank you for the correction. I had a ministroke following an auto accident and I am still re-learning what I lost. So, I really appreciate you.
@@kathleenbeach4839 I am a trained singer. I started out with a tremolo, and my teacher had me work on it for months to get a cleaner tone. Tremolos are wicked hard to get under control, and the wavering between pitches was beyond annoying when my voice teacher made me aware of it. I still have to watch out for bad habits in singing, so believe me, I understand. I hope your recovery is going well, and I thank you for your kind words😊
I live in Florida where he is giving this talk, but I was raised in Oklahoma, the state where he's talking about the tambourine lady being tazed. He is absolutely hilarious!
Our former pastor's wife used to sing really high. Especially,one congregational song we sang. She moved away to be near her family. She's 92. My former youth pastor and one of my friends husband sings this part she sang like her when we sing this song. We've gotten used to their shenanigans but our visiting evangelists and missionaries haven't. One of them asked who the ladies with the high voices were Everybody died laughing. He was so confused.
That is the very meaning of make a joyful noise unto the Lord. It is worship and I am sure that He likes it just fine. Worship in Spirit and in truth. The voice matters little after that.
“But stay ye on the beat.” 🤣 I go to a lively church and you’re allowed to do pretty much whatever you want to praise the Lord, as long as it is in an appropriate manner and clearly not just pure flesh. But drawing attention to yourself and ignoring authority is over the line. 😳 The best story I’ve witnessed was my brother who jumped up to raise his hands and he sat back down so hard that he broke the old wooden pew. 😶 The pastor of that church we were visiting cautions him at the beginning of every service when we go back, to not break any more pews.
True story, our pastor asked if anyone would like to come up and sing a song. Someone brought a lady with them and she got up and sang All My Exes Live In Texas! 😂A cappella of course!
I have always been an animal fanatic and when I was about 7, I learned how to keep old ladies at bay. I had caught a little Garter snake and took it to church in it's mason jar house. She came up to me and asked how I was and before she had the chance, as a known cheek pincher, I pulled out my snake and said see what I caught! Well..... She passed out cold and I heard my Dad utter the dreaded words of "meet me in the bedroom when we get home". So safe to say, neither one of us came out of that one unscathed 😂😂
@@maryleibfried2104 I have 5 kids and so far the 4 that are married, have blessed me with 10 Grands. I was a vet asst that helped my 3 vet friends in exchange for vet care. I had many exotic animals and numerous snakes, as well as domestic rescues and wildlife rehabs, so my little ones want stories, often lol. I plan to keep doing catch and release with my Grands, teaching them everything I know and make sure they keep the love of animals going for generations to come 👍🏻❤️. If only there were more out there, passing things down like the stuff I do, and not..... Well, I'll leave the fill in the blank up to you 😁🤔. Otherwise they might kick me off of here lol
😂 My wife would qualify as the tambourine lady. Our church band went to a gospel singing festival in North Carolina once. And we were the only white people there. We had a wonderful time worshipping with all the other bands and their families. We were listening to another band. They were black of course, so everybody was clapping along. One lady that sang in our group,looked over at my wife and said, “Honey stop that…you clap like a white woman.” 😂😂😂
😂I love love love your comedy Jonnie your delivery and countenance is just phenomenally on point all the time !! … you’re too talented and deserve a Netflix special!!!.. your sister from Ethiopian orthodox Christian church also praising Jesus 😍🙌🏾
@@adamtomecko6817 they are out there, Christian comedians. This one is really good. Although he is nearing retirement, you might also check out Jeff Allen. And, although he wasn't solely a Christian comedian, but is a devout Christian, check out Bill Engvall. Also in retirement now, he is still active on youtube. His bit about almost got kicked out of church is funny. A lot of Christian comedians have a two pronged approach to comedy. The humor doesn't really change. But, the delivery kind of varies depending on whether their audience is church-based or secular-based and their agents make this clear to the comic when they book the gig...usually. Jeff Allen has an amusing sketch when his agent/manager failed to tell him which gig was which. 🤣 But, the bottom line is there are clean comedians out there and some are Christians. Even the ones who primarily perform in churches realize how far to take the comedy and what line, even in churches, not to cross. They are truly gifted and we are blessed because, even in church, it can be ok to laugh sometimes. 🤭 😇
I’m non-denominational now, but I was baptized in a Pentecostal church and attended there for a while so I am familiar with some of their antics lol. And, I love the tambourine! 😊
As a 10 year old child who was raised in the Catholic church where the only movement was getting up and down on the kneeling benches and no one sang but the choir. My aunt took me to her childhood church way back in the hills of Kentucky. There were no pews, just wooden benches with no backs. In that day it was what was called a "holy roller" church. The lady in front of us got in the spirit and started rolling on the floor and under the bench. I jumped up and ran out of the church screaming. My aunt had to chase me down in the parking lot. I wouldn't go near a protestant church for years because I thought that they were all like that. Today I am a Methodist minister. No rolling in my church. lol
I had heard protestant church services described as a pop concert and a pep talk! Now that they have added a great comedy act as well I might have to start going!😂
The first time I went to a Catholic church, I noticed they put babies and their parents in a soundproof room in the back. Why? In case the babies cried. Then the first time I went to a Baptist church I found myself at a party! Singing, dancing, babies could cry, whatever! It was wonderful! I was raised in a Lutheran church. It was all walks of life, babies could cry. I called it "The you're okay, I'm okay, we're in this together church". But, the best party was at the Baptist church, so I took my two small children. They had never seen anything like this either. They loved it too! I sent them to Bible school there after that. They didn't care if we were of any religion, they were loving and sweet and hilarious!
Oh, wow. We had a Catholic priest here who said he could talk over any baby or child. No exclusion there. The best church I ever went to was a Baptist church. Lots of reverence for God. Also, if someone performed music badly, they would "forget" to ask them to perform again.
🙄 Catholic churches don't put babies in boxes. Some of them have cry rooms that parents are welcome to use if they feel the need, but many Catholic churches have done away with those completely or use them as sensory rooms. Our motto is "if the church isn't crying, it's dying." We want those young families at Mass!
@@ReginaJames-e5o Oh, it was wonderful. They had Christ centered preaching every Sunday. Of note, they were a little different from their overseeing body, which tends to be too, too conservative.
In the Assembly of God when I was little a lady would run around all the pews, then she would reach out and touch some of us. I did not want to be touched so I started sitting in the middle of the pews!
My sister and I would go with a friend to an Assembly of God church sometimes. When they had the altar call, we would leave through a side door, walk through a hallway to the pastor's house and eat dill pickles.🥴😁
@@brendawood3429 My hometown was half Pentecostal. All us "unsaved" guys wanted a Pentecostal girlfriend. They weren't allowed to smoke, drink, swear, or dance, and they were totally repressed and horny af. And their parents were gone for hours on a Sunday night. And, at that age, you could get laid twice while her parents were doing their voodoo thing. I'm 62 now. I can't manage to do it twice in the same week these days. But I have my memories. Lol
Sounds like the Church of God of Prophecy. Been there, done that. Preachers kid. Mom was a runner. Dad was a pew jumper. Honest. Used to break out in hives before 2 week revivals. Scared to death as a kid.
Yep, I can see getting hives. Or running away from home, even. My friend went to an authentic snake handling church, she left home at 14 for some reason. Not a runaway, exactly, she went to live with family in "civilization" ( her word not mine) . He dad was weird but nice but her mom was a religious fanatic. I loved my friend then and until she died a few years ago, so I did visit her home frequently. Your comment made me remember how she would not, probably could not eat on Saturday and still suffered unpleasant intentional revolt against the environment.
@@JonnieWI was born in a bapitcogistolic ( Baptist + apostolic + Methodist + Episcopalian + cogic ) church with a black grandma so I know something bout this
Saved in a Pentecostal church and now 41 years and 3 states later in a “somewhat normal” church😂 God is very patient with us… just imagine all of those “groups” singing at once in Heaven. It will be like a 3 ring circus. That was a joke. When we stand before the Throne we might just be speechless! ❤
It's a one in a million chance that I will like a comedian and you sir, are so funny. We watched this short one another short one and a long one last night. So funny!
The thing about being a "Christian" comedian in a Church is that no matter what the material is, some people will laugh at it as a means of hospitality and relaxation, every Church has people like this.
Ughh..tambourines ladies. The bane of my existence as a praise team piano player. The last one, we asked nicely, in private, explaining the very real issues with timing for the musicians. She came back with, “but that’s how I worship”. I said, “well, as the worship leader, I’m asking you to not play the tambourine, but you do what you want”. 1st song, 2 beats in, and tambourine lady is slapping away, off beat and staring me down. I got up on my microphone, looked her right in the eyes and said, loudly, “NO”. Clean and simple. I never saw her again. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but she was single-handedly destroying the services. We’re responsible for the worship experience of hundreds and one selfish person can’t win in that situation. Church is tough, just try it sometime.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Thankfully, after 20 years of leading Worship on his platform, the Pastor supports me 100%. Lady was a bully that needed rebuke. Thanks for saying hi. Have a fantastic day!
Your tambourine lady might've been a visiting Episcopalian. (I am one, so...) There's a running joke that we don't know WHAT to do with a tambourine. They claim that the only reason I get away with playing it is because I came over from another denomination. LOL And thank you for that truth about church musicians (I'm one of those, too...) - but let's also blame the composers who put those songs in "mosquito notes."
When I was a child, I was told that the hymns were in such a high key because it made them easier for the piano player to play. Once I had music lessons, I realized that wasn't true. That many sharps or flats cannot possibly be the easiest arrangement for the pianist. Even if it was, there's only one pianist-- surely we're not just throwing all of the other congregants under the bus because some piano player prefers using only the black keys.
I always say our non dem Pentecostal church. Woship like Pentecostal, take comunion like Catholic and we eat like the Baptist. You are welcome to use this in your show.
In our local (small) church, during the service there would be a hymn or two put to music. One of the members was an old(er) lady, let's call her Martha, who had the lung power of a cooper's hawk and had no idea of how far off key she was. Ev-er. She was almost not singing the same hymn as the rest of the people...but what could you say? Marha, don't sing, you're deafening the preacher. Martha, could you just zip it?
There’s a reason the Lord picks ADHD people to preach the word 🤣🤣 we bring comedy into everything we do 🤣 I’m sorry I’d rather laugh through a situation than cry…during my grandpas funeral sure I cried but the funny memories took over and I couldn’t handle it anymore and everyone was like what has gotten into you…first things that came to mind was when he sent me to the store for 10 gallons of gas to dump on the brush pile to burn…and said and I quote…get me 10 gallons of gas cause that’s stuff burns slow…now remember that…very important for the story…and Dumps all 10 gallons on that pile and threw a match…y’all when I say he flew through the air 20 feet im not joking the only things that came to mind was I believe I can fly…I believe I can touch the sky…then a tree stopped him…and it’s my fault cause he needed diesel not gas cause diesel burns slow…now who’s fault is it really 🤣
How sad. Music brings joy to the soul, and participation in making music…well, that is priceless. Since we are created in God’s image, imagine the delight that is His watching and listening to our praise.
We have guy that sometimes leads singing and he has trouble staying on the beat AND staying on pitch. He doesn't seem to realize it. On those days it's really hard for me to stay "Christianly" through the song service.
This gentleman and the African American comedian are excellent and talented. One does not have to curse every three seconds to be funny or do a bit. Well done.

LMAO! The way you describe your parents...still smiling here
Those revival preachers tried to scare us into heaven!!!I hated that!!!!
@@claudettebigby5902 we need more revivals like that today. Look at the world we live in now!
That’s from the amplified version, brother! 🤗😂
Stay ye on the beat. Amen!!!
He's brilliant!
Aww thanks!
@@JonnieWI was born in a bapitcogistolic ( Baptist + apostolic + Methodist + Episcopalian + cogic ) church with a black grandma so I know something bout this
😂love your comedy and your expressions you use God bless you Jonnie
Just found you Jonnie! You’re amazing, love it!!
that was great! what a wonderful way to start my day!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Sue!!
TOO FUNNY...THANKS FOR SHARING
Glad you enjoyed it
My mom was the tambourine lady. 🤦🏼♀️😅
It happens 😂
I literally lol’d so hard at this! 😂
Saved in a Pentecostal church and now 41 years and 3 states later in a “somewhat normal” church😂 God is very patient with us… just imagine all of those “groups” singing at once in Heaven. It will be like a 3 ring circus. That was a joke. When we stand before the Throne we might just be speechless! ❤
It's a one in a million chance that I will like a comedian and you sir, are so funny. We watched this short one another short one and a long one last night. So funny!
Hey thanks a heap!!
Back in the 80s I attended a church that had tambourine guy. His name was Basil and he was the nicest guy and he was actually quite good.
We all need to do some laps.......it would help us all.......
I'd nevet heard of Jonnie W before tonight and man is he ever funny! 😂😂😂
He's a gem. Loved it.
Hilarious! I needed to laugh,, thank you 💯💗✝️
But stay ye on the beat!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
*NOT* the "Message" Bible!! 😂
You are such a wonderful comic. Good and clean!
Thank you for sharing!
The thing about being a "Christian" comedian in a Church is that no matter what the material is, some people will laugh at it as a means of hospitality and relaxation, every Church has people like this.
This guy is soooo funny!
Zapped and sprayed for tambourine? Oh, my. Good thing she didn't bust out the bagpipes.
"it's in the message bible" 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious!!!😂
We had a guy in church complain it was too loud every Sunday. He eventually bought some.ear muffs and continued to worship along!
I'm pentecostal 1:10
This is one of my favorite bits. Please come to Indiana...
Oh wow, funny and also what a beautiful accent too, I wonder if he will visit Ireland, I hope so 🙏 🇮🇪 🤗
I hope so too!
@@JonnieW aw God bless you sir 🤗 🇮🇪
Ughh..tambourines ladies. The bane of my existence as a praise team piano player. The last one, we asked nicely, in private, explaining the very real issues with timing for the musicians. She came back with, “but that’s how I worship”. I said, “well, as the worship leader, I’m asking you to not play the tambourine, but you do what you want”. 1st song, 2 beats in, and tambourine lady is slapping away, off beat and staring me down. I got up on my microphone, looked her right in the eyes and said, loudly, “NO”. Clean and simple. I never saw her again. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but she was single-handedly destroying the services. We’re responsible for the worship experience of hundreds and one selfish person can’t win in that situation. Church is tough, just try it sometime.
Wasn't your place. That's the place of the pastor.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 Thankfully, after 20 years of leading Worship on his platform, the Pastor supports me 100%. Lady was a bully that needed rebuke. Thanks for saying hi. Have a fantastic day!
That was a spirit. Because you dealt with it in the authority of Jesus Christ, it knew not to return.
The runnin laps isn't just a pentecostal thing, I've seen it plenty in old fashioned Baptist churches. 👐
Oh no he's hilarious! I had a rough day and don't feel good, but this guy had me dying of laughter. (Thanks BTW)
Just wonderful set. So fresh and seriously funny. 🎉😂
Stay ye on the beat, lady!😂
I've been in those churches too. One had the volume so loud it hurt my ears. Banners and tambourines can be distracting if in the wrong hands.
Thanks for the laughs.
Your tambourine lady might've been a visiting Episcopalian. (I am one, so...) There's a running joke that we don't know WHAT to do with a tambourine. They claim that the only reason I get away with playing it is because I came over from another denomination. LOL And thank you for that truth about church musicians (I'm one of those, too...) - but let's also blame the composers who put those songs in "mosquito notes."
When I was a child, I was told that the hymns were in such a high key because it made them easier for the piano player to play. Once I had music lessons, I realized that wasn't true. That many sharps or flats cannot possibly be the easiest arrangement for the pianist. Even if it was, there's only one pianist-- surely we're not just throwing all of the other congregants under the bus because some piano player prefers using only the black keys.
“ Mosquito notes” 😅
That’s so true the message bible completely different translation 😅
Stay ye on the beat😂😂😂
I always say our non dem Pentecostal church. Woship like Pentecostal, take comunion like Catholic and we eat like the Baptist. You are welcome to use this in your show.
Excellent stuff. Love the comedic vision.
I think everyone carries in Florida, lol
🙋🏼♀️ Arizona too👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️😘😘😘😘
You are a very funny man! Great performance.
" stayeth on the beat". 😂😂😂
In our local (small) church, during the service there would be a hymn or two put to music. One of the members was an old(er) lady, let's call her Martha, who had the lung power of a cooper's hawk and had no idea of how far off key she was. Ev-er. She was almost not singing the same hymn as the rest of the people...but what could you say? Marha, don't sing, you're deafening the preacher. Martha, could you just zip it?
Free range drumming!
We are ALL kooks 😂 aren't we? ...but WE are NO longer in rebellion with our Creator..Love you Jesus 🙌. And all of you too xoxo
Right back at you!❤
You are soooo hilarious.
😂😂😂😂😂 3 new songs😂😂😂
There’s a reason the Lord picks ADHD people to preach the word 🤣🤣 we bring comedy into everything we do 🤣 I’m sorry I’d rather laugh through a situation than cry…during my grandpas funeral sure I cried but the funny memories took over and I couldn’t handle it anymore and everyone was like what has gotten into you…first things that came to mind was when he sent me to the store for 10 gallons of gas to dump on the brush pile to burn…and said and I quote…get me 10 gallons of gas cause that’s stuff burns slow…now remember that…very important for the story…and Dumps all 10 gallons on that pile and threw a match…y’all when I say he flew through the air 20 feet im not joking the only things that came to mind was I believe I can fly…I believe I can touch the sky…then a tree stopped him…and it’s my fault cause he needed diesel not gas cause diesel burns slow…now who’s fault is it really 🤣
End of 3 into 4. So funny!
Always love watching your videos
Glad you like them!
Most people can't play the tambourine regardless of color, we banned them!! LOL
How sad. Music brings joy to the soul, and participation in making music…well, that is priceless. Since we are created in God’s image, imagine the delight that is His watching and listening to our praise.
You brother are hilarious!!!
We have guy that sometimes leads singing and he has trouble staying on the beat AND staying on pitch. He doesn't seem to realize it. On those days it's really hard for me to stay "Christianly" through the song service.
Jericho March!
I see some tambourines here
There's really quite a lot
Some of them are keeping time
But most of them are not
@@rikosborne1212 Lovely poem 😂
It does say to play skillfully (Psalm 33:3) so maybe the taser wasn’t that uncalled for.
Haha. Can one not play skillfully while the other makes a joyful noise?
