Christian humor in evangelism and communication
Humor is very valuable in evangelism and Christian communication because:
- humor breaks down barriers and can smuggle ideas and challenges into people’s hearts.
- a joke or humorous situation is often very memorable.
- it shows that we don’t take ourselves too seriously, that we are not ‘holy Joes’, killjoys, or boring.
- humor has been shown to be an essential component of adult learning.
- most importantly, because we have a biblical mandate to use humor!
