Statement number one, Jesus Christ was a person of color, true or false?īrittney Packnett Cunningham: Absolutely true. I will reveal the prize at the end of the game. Are you ready?īrittney Packnett Cunningham: I’m absolutely ready.īrittney Packnett Cunningham: Wait, is there a prize? OK, Brittney, here are the rules of the game, I’m going to name some statements that I have here about Jesus and your goal as the contestant of this very real, very official game show, is to tell me whether or not what I’m saying is true, and why or why not. It’s called Jesus Christ, Social Justice Star! Pause for applause. Everybody, welcome to a special Christmas edition of a game I am inventing as we speak. Phillip Picardi: OK, I hope that your minister family is listening because this might be a little embarrassing and sacrilegious. Are you down to play a little game about Jesus with me?īrittney Packnett Cunningham: I’m always down and play a game.
And also, I’m hoping we can do so by playing a little game. So I am excited today because I’m hoping we can talk about Jesus in a way that he’s not often talked about. I mean, that was a lot about the pedigree of how much you love Jesus. Phillip Picardi: OK, wow, you didn’t have to show off. So yes, I believe that Jesus is the lover in my soul and I am so grateful to be loved by somebody who wants my liberation here on Earth just as much as he wants it for me in heaven. My dad was a pastor, my mom is a minister and my brother is a minister and went to divinity school and followed in my dad’s footsteps on that. I was raised by two people who love Jesus, so much so that they were ministers. Is this true?īrittney Packnett Cunningham: This is true. Now, one thing I know for sure about you is that you love Jesus. Brittney, welcome to Unholier Than Thou.īrittney Packnett Cunningham: Thank you, Phillip. For example, did you know that historians mostly agree that Jesus, a Middle Eastern Jewish man, was not blond and blue eyed, as all that Renaissance art depicts? Go figure! Help me set the record straight-and I do not mean that in a homophobic way-I’m thrilled to welcome my friend, and the host of The Undistracted podcast Brittney Packnett Cunningham. As we’ve explored on this podcast for many episodes, the story of Jesus has been so twisted, so turned, so manipulated that it’s hard to get a grasp of who the guy really was. After one month of playing Kelly Clarkson’s Wrapped in Red Deluxe on repeat, that special time is almost upon us: Christmas Day! And while we may know the true heir of Christmas as Miss Mariah Carey, it is a lesser known fact that the holiday originally started to celebrate the birth of someone named Jesus Christ. Phillip Picardi: From Crooked Media, this is Unholier Than Thou. Listen to Brittany’s podcast, Undistracted (The grand prize is kind of a bummer, though.) And turns out, he’s kind of a great guy! To help him dissect the activist Jesus was in his own life, Brittany Packnett Cunningham joins to play a fun Bible game.
There’s a whole lot of myths about Jesus-and then there’s who the Bible ACTUALLY says he was. As appealing as hunky blondes can be, Phill isn’t interested in worshipping one (well, at least not as the son of God).
