Candace Cameron Bure Shares Bible-Based Laughs with Comedian Jason Earls
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actress Cameron Candace Bure is sharing a laugh with clean Christian comedian Jason Earls.
“Do you ever read a Bible verse and think, ‘huh, that’s funny…??!!’ 🤣,” Bure posted with an Instagram clip of her and Earls from her podcast.
“In the book of Job, Job is going through miserable things and he has these three so-called ‘friends’ that are giving him really bad advice,” Bure said. “And so Job responds to them in the advice and there’s a line in there that he says back to them—and I’m paraphrasing—‘If only you would just shut your mouth and let that be your wisdom.’”
Bure found humor in the witty yet wise retort.
“I was like, oh, Job, that’s so smart. Sometimes people think they are so wise and I’m like, if you’d like only shut your mouth and be wise from keeping silent. But like that it made me laugh out loud reading that in the Bible,” she said.
“There’s another verse in Job,” Earls said. “This is one of the funniest verses in the Bible, I think. It says even my breath was offensive to my wife. Like my goodness, how bad is your breath?” Earls laughed.
Earls, a father of six, does comedy at churches and events across the world. Focus On The Family’s Date Night Challenge, Trinity Broadcast Network and the Date Night Comedy Tour have all featured him. And he earned the “Best Comedian” title on ITM Live.
In Bure’s podcast episode with Earls, the two continued to explore how the Bible has many comedic elements.
Bure said in another clip of them together, “Laughter may be difficult for some. Maybe you’re facing a difficult situation, a chronic illness, or financial troubles. We face things in life that can get in the way of our joy. But when it gets tough, sometimes it helps to find humor in it! Plus, the Bible is full of comedy!”
Movieguide® recently reported:
“There’s a lot of humor in the Bible,” Earls said during an episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure” podcast. “There’s a lot of humor that Christ used.”
Earls explained that there are many verses in the Bible that are funny, but sometimes the humor doesn’t translate to today.
“When Jesus says it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God…in that culture, that was hilarious,” the comedian said. “[But] when we read that passage, we get really serious.
