Comedian Theo Von recently shared his experiences attending Bible study with country music star Morgan Wallen, describing him as “an inspiring guy.” During a conversation with fellow comedian Leanne Morgan, Von revealed his plans to meet Wallen for their next study session.
“I’m gonna see him tomorrow, Bible study, actually,” Von stated in a recent episode of his podcast. Morgan reacted enthusiastically, joking, “I think he’s gonna end up preaching.” Von responded, “I have no idea, I just know he’s an inspiring guy.” The exchange highlighted their mutual appreciation for faith and community.
Morgan further encouraged the conversation by asking about their study materials. “Is it a Beth Moore? What’re y’all studying?” she inquired. Von replied, “I mean, tomorrow, I think we’re watching a movie. But it is Bible Study, yeah. I’m not sure what chapter we’re on.”
While Morgan has been open about her Christian faith, she mentioned that she is not currently part of a Bible study group. Reflecting on her past experiences, she noted, “I used to be in one when I was growing and raising my children, but I don’t, I’m not in one.”
Von humorously added, “Well, that’s when you need the Lord the most, when you’re raising those little hench women — and men.” This lighthearted banter underscores Von’s connection to spirituality, a theme he has explored in his career.
The comedian has previously discussed the challenges of discussing faith in the entertainment industry, particularly in Los Angeles. In a 2019 interview, he expressed that while there is no outright rejection of Christ, “religion isn’t super welcomed,” suggesting that many in the industry prefer to avoid discussions that might offend.
“Faith is just such a healing thing for people,” Von asserted. He elaborated on his personal relationship with spirituality, stating, “I feel alone, I feel hitchhiking if I don’t have some kind of a faith.” He acknowledged that his faith has fluctuated, noting, “I realize that my faith isn’t very strong right now, and that it can really be tightened up.”
Von further emphasized the importance of faith, saying, “Having faith, that’s a free parent.” He fondly recalled his upbringing, remarking, “Now, Jesus Christ, that was the most popular guy in my area, growing up. I think the dude is a great role model.”
This exchange between Von and Morgan not only highlights their friendship but also reflects the broader cultural dialogue around faith and authenticity in modern society. Their candid discussion resonates with many who navigate similar experiences, emphasizing the role of community in fostering spiritual connections.
In an era where personal beliefs are often scrutinized, Von and Wallen’s Bible study group serves as a reminder of the positive impact faith can have on individuals seeking inspiration and support.
