Key Takeaways:
- Humor is amusingly subverted expectations, probably
- The Gospel is full of paradoxes which are mysterious but not illogical
- God the Father is probably humorous, but His jokes go way over our head
- Both Jesus and Scripture are really funny at times, but we should be careful not to anachronistically turn them into standup comedy
- Fallen humor is rotten, low-hanging fruit, redeemed humor is fresh, high-hanging fruit
- Godly humor is humbling, community-building, and perspective-resetting
