  • Dear Humans,

    Jesus and I had the pleasure of being joined by a human who brings you joy through his food and his insights: Chef Andrew Zimmern!

    As the 4th of July holiday approaches for Americans, Andrew will be hosting Tastemade’s 2025 Grill Week, kicking off June 30th. Don’t miss it!

    We were floored by Andrew’s insight to the state of the world, and his solutions for solving hunger. Did you know childhood hunger could be solved in 6 weeks?!

    We discuss:

    The best animal God has ever created, according to Andrew

    Andrew’s thoughts on the state of Donold’s administration, particularly Pete Hegseth.

    The relatively low cost of solving childhood hunger, and how fast this epidemic could be resolved in America.

    How he thinks America can become a greater country (It doesn’t involve just getting rid of Trump)

    How we can solve the food issues in your country, and what he wishes Biden did differently.

  • Dear Humans,

    Will America… make it? On today’s episode of The God Pod, comedian and co-star of MAX’s Have I Got News For You Michael Ian Black joins God and Jesus to discuss politics, his career, and more with his signature dry humor!

    Our chat with Michael Ian Black picks up halfway through our time with him because we were having some internet issues, but once things worked correctly, our interview with him was a blast!

    Michael Ian Black:

    Wonders why the Pope didn’t die when he and his wife were visiting, as he had hoped.

    Talks about his most meaningful gig to date.

    Discusses why he doesn’t practice religion.

    Tune in for a really fun time with one of God’s favorite people, and see if God can get back the love that he is giving Michael.

    Love,

  • Dear Humans,

    If you’re looking to feel hopeful and seeking signs of empathy, today’s new episode is for you! This week on The God Pod, God and Jesus are joined by bestselling author Brad Meltzer to discuss his new book, Make Magic: The Book of Inspiration You Didn’t Know You Needed!

    We discuss:

    How Brad turned a beloved commencement speech he wrote into his new book, and why his message resonates with humans.

    How he used stories of rejection to inspire his son’s graduating class.

    Empathy once again comes up in our conversations with the Humans, and Brad explains what the internet is designed to do.

    His incredible, wide-ranging career: From writing thrillers to writing comics to writing the obituary for the one and only Stan Lee!

    Why comics have always been “woke,” and Brad traces it back to some of Stan Lee’s earliest comics.

    Another upcoming book he has in the works about The Beatles, for children!

  • Dear Humans,

    Easter Weekend ended with the death of The Pope - mere hours of spending time with Hell Spawn JD Vance (not a coincidence) - and later that day, Jesus and I were joined by comedian Trae Crowder on The God Pod!

    Get 25% off for 1 year

    We discuss how to prevent future generations from being indoctrinated by the right.

    God and Jesus adore Trae and were so excited to have him on the podcast. Enjoy!

    Love,

    God and Jesus

  • Dear Humans,

    Jesus and I sit down with the man who once said, “The question isn’t ‘Is there a God?’ The question is ‘Why do people believe in God?’”

    That’s right. Penn Jillette is on the God Pod!

    Not to oversell it, but it might just be the greatest thing you’ll ever witness in your entire life. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to watch Penn Jillette mock God to his face…this is your moment.

    Get 25% off for 1 year

    Here’s what we got into:

    Faith and doubt — Penn shares his real thoughts on religion, atheism, and why he respects believers who actually walk the walk.

    Do Penn and Teller hang out offstage? — You’ll find out. Their dynamic is fascinating and refreshingly un-Hollywood.

    How they made it big — The unlikely road from street performances to a long-running Vegas residency. They still can’t believe it.

    Bob Dylan deep cuts — We asked for one favorite. He gave us a whole playlist. It’s delightful.

    If Bullshit! came back — What would Penn call out now? From conspiracy grifters to political hypocrisy, he’s still on fire.

    His new novel, Felony Juggler — Coming May 6. Pre-order it now!

    I hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as we did recording it. Thanks, humans!

    Love,

    God

  • Comedian and commentator Pete Dominick stopped by for a divine check-in, and things got real.

    He opened up about his work helping veterans and men in crisis. Then he looked Me and Jesus in the eye and asked, “Where were You when I needed You?” And lo, the room got awkward.

    Pete also shared the daily routines that keep him sane in a collapsing world, and stories from his time hanging with comedy legends like Lewis Black and Artie Lange. The man’s seen some things.

    And yes, we talked about Donold’s big tariff collapse. Pete saw it coming. A lot of us did.

    Consider checking out Pete’s show on Substack: Sit Down With Pete!

  • Dear Humans,

    Karan Soni once played My assistant on Miracle Workers. Now instead of pretending with Steve Buscemi, he’s talking to the real thing.

    We talked about his new film, A Nice Indian Boy, and what it means to navigate family, culture, and identity in a country that feels like it's falling apart.

    We also touched on tariffs, current events, and how anyone is supposed to stay joyful when everything around them is burning.

    It’s funny. It’s thoughtful. It might be the calmest thing I’ve published all week.

    Take a breath. Press play.

  • Dear Humans,

    Legendary comedian Lewis Black sat down with God (and Jesus) yesterday for a heartwarming, hilarious, and surprisingly spiritual interview.

    Not to oversell it, but it might just be the greatest thing you’ll ever witness in your entire life. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to watch Lewis Black ask God if he’s going to Heaven…this is your moment.

    In this episode:

    Lewis Black’s biggest question for God and Jesus now that he's face-to-face with the divine

    Lewis Black talks to God about getting into Heaven

    How comedy has evolved (and unraveled) in the age of Trump

    Tariffs on penguins?!?

    A much-needed palate cleanser: Lewis’ “heroin sport” and how sports still bring hope

    Why Lewis is leaning into empathy onstage, and may pivot to a full-blown “empathy act”

    God and Jesus make Lewis Black laugh!

  • Dear Humans,

    Today, Jesus and I sit down with social media star, author and Bible scholar Dan McClellan, whose new book The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues drops April 29.

    Dan breaks down what the Bible really says about hot-button issues like abortion, slavery, lying, and homosexuality…and how scripture often contradicts itself. He also shares how he went from being raised agnostic to becoming a Mormon, and what most people get wrong about Mormonism.

    If you're skeptical about a Mormon writing a book like this, just wait until you hear what Dan has to say. There are smart, left-leaning folks in every faith tradition, even the ones you wouldn’t expect.

    Don’t miss The Bible Says So when it hits shelves April 29.

    Love,

    God

  • Author and radio personality John Fugelsang joins The God Pod to discuss how the right continues to twist the Bible and Jesus with sickening levels of hypocrisy. Buckle up, this is a PERFECT 36-minute episode.

    Letters from God is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    1. This Week on The God Pod: John Fugelsang

    John Fugelsang is a Drama League nominated actor, comedian & broadcaster who hosts the acclaimed "Tell Me Everything" series on SiriusXM Progress #127.

    His first book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back The Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds" will be published this August by Simon & Schuster's Avid Reader Press.

    John, the child of an ex-nun and an ex-Franciscan brother (yes, really), has a lifetime of perspective on faith, religion, and the way it’s been hijacked by fascists and frauds.

    He’s thrilled to speak directly with God and Jesus so he can finally say what’s been on his mind: stop spinning the Bible to justify cruelty.

    We also put John on the spot: What would you say to Elon Musk if you spoke to him directly? As you might expect, he nails it.

  • Dear Humans,

    1. Behold! Musk’s empire is crumbling

    Elon Musk went on camera and nearly broke down. When asked about Tesla’s struggles, the man who claims to be the smartest person alive suddenly didn’t have any answers.

    📉 Tesla stock is in freefall.
    🐦 Twitter is still a broken mess.
    😭 Even his most devoted fanboys are losing faith.

    The protests are working. The myth of Musk as an untouchable genius is shattering before our eyes.

    2. This Week on The God Pod

    🔥 God and Jesus laugh at Trump’s “everything’s computer” remarks while sitting in a Tesla while still hating his guts.

    🔥 The real concern from the Tesla stunt: Trump threatening to throw people in prison for protesting Tesla.

    🔥 Why SNL’s latest Mike Myers / Elon Musk Cold Open was so amazing.

    🔥 Elon unexpectedly got emotional on camera.

    🔥 If humans are looking for hope and inspiration, look no further than Bernie’s recent conversation with constituents who are feeling the pain. He’s packing them in because he LISTENS to the humans!

  • Rejoice, for I bring thee tidings of great schadenfreude: Elon Musk hath lost a whole Bill Gates.

    1. He Did This To Himself

    Tesla’s stock hath crashed over 40% since December, wiping out $111 billion of Elon’s fortune. Turns out, investors don’t love it when a CEO ditches his own company to spend his days boosting Nazis and banning journalists.

    And who smote him most? His best bro Don-old. Trump’s new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico are wrecking Tesla’s supply chains, and the stock market took one look and said nah. Funny how licking fascist boots always ends in you getting your face stomped.

    Yet despite losing more money than the entire net worth of Bill Gates, Musk remains the world’s richest idiot. Will he learn? Nay. He shall keep wreaking havoc and pretending he isn’t the dumbest rich guy alive.

    Spotted on the London Underground. 2. This Week on The God Pod

    This week, we were LIVE here on Substack while recording! Huge thanks to everyone who listened in—we can’t wait to see you all again for future live stream events!

    On today’s episode:

    🔥 We react to Donold’s State of the Union and why all this talk about ‘norms’ needs to end (Except for Norm MacDonald—he’s up here in Heaven and keeping us entertained!)

    🔥 Donold goes after Canada for no good reason—and history has taught us, Canada doesn’t back down from a fight.

    🔥 God offers a crazy idea: What if Dems gasp broke some rules?

    🔥 Why it’s ridiculous that Republicans are canceling in-person town halls—because cowards fear their own voters.

    🔥 God’s favorite video games right now—because sometimes even the Almighty needs to escape reality.

    🔥 Why our flock has grown so quickly over the past few months here at Letters From God.

  • Dear Humans,

    Another day, another disaster waiting to happen. Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One—because what could possibly go wrong? Inflation is “back” (according to Donold), people are apparently flipping eggs like real estate, and Sean Duffy is making up more lies about air safety.

    Oh, and if Jesus came back? Yeah, let’s just say it wouldn’t go well.

    Let’s get into it.

    1. Topics include:

    The Department of Government Evil (DOGE)

    Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One

    What Donold is really saying when he admits inflation is ‘back’

    Are humans are buying up all the eggs just to resell them?

    What God thinks would happen to his son if he returned to Earth

    The latest lies Sean Duffy is sharing about air safety

    How Donold accidentally insulted his Vice President while fawning over Elon

  • Dear Humans,

    Sometimes, the universe delivers a moment of pure, unfiltered schadenfreude so powerful that even God and Jesus can’t handle it. This was one of those moments.

    Elon Musk’s own son obliterated Donold in the Oval Office, proving once and for all that even small children know to tell him to shut up and go away. And we, your benevolent deities, are here to watch it unfold together and laugh our divine asses off.

    1. Even a Toddler Can See Through Donold’s BS

    Baby X (or, as we prefer, Elon’s son) had a hot mic moment of the century.

    "Shut up, go away." – A perfect summary of how the world feels about Donold.

    Donold, of course, just stood there awkwardly, because he’s not used to hearing the truth.

    The fact that this happened in the Oval Office makes it even funnier.
