As a professing Christian, why would he not want to give the Glory to God?

John is a hilarious comedian! It’s so great as a Christian man to be able to listen to clean comedy that’s actually funny

Love John's comedy and continue to wish him nothing but the best

John Crist is a very talented comedian. He does not get enough credit for his work.

Not EVERY guy in their 30's... nope. Know lots of regular, hard working, faithful guys who aren't chasing fame and popularity who don't go off the rails.

I've been a fan for several years, but John Crist wasn't "cancelled" he was disciplined. He committed sins against women (and, per previous reports older teenage girls) , broke laws (driving drunk, among others), and generally lived the opposite of what he professed. I'm glad he has sought counsel and forgiveness, but this interview gives a distorted view of what he did to wreak his own upward career. I agree with others here who have commented that this was a huge missed opportunity to talk about God's grace and mercy in his life. He's self-professed Christ follower, as such, he's *supposed to* "get all spiritual and everything".

If anything cancel culture sets you free. Now you can express your opinion fully and completely

I think JC misrepresented himself to his audience, if he thinks the behavior that got him in trouble 'wasn't that bad'. And somehow at the same time he admits he was in a dark place during that time... It doesn't add up. So disappointed in MK for downplaying unhealthy behavior such as alcohol abuse and casual or adulterous intimate relationships. Our society needs a better standard for men

Wow! I can’t believe you’re interviewing John! He’s so talented and I’ve been following him for a while now!

I just found him on KZfaq and have subscribed. He is hilarious.

Let’s be honest, he didn’t really get cancelled. He was being hypocritical, & so people reacted accordingly. Kinda like the Bud Light boycott. He did things that true Christians are heavily against. So to get a 2nd chance is really a rarity & he is actually very lucky that the Christian community does follow God’s principles of “love one another as I have loved you”. Otherwise I truly think his actions would have ended his career rather than temporarily suspended it. I am happy for you John, & I hope you continue to follow God’s direction for your life. You are really good at what you do. God Bless You!!!

Great comedian, so happy he’s back and better than ever (in all aspects).

Glad you have picked yourself up and our moving forward. Sometimes we have to hit bottom, but the important thing is to become better and leaving your old self behind.

John is so funny! So happy you interviewed him. I know he’s just on the incline from the bottom for when he’s been but he’s been pretty open about his journey.

Seeking adulterous relationships is what all normal 30 year olds would do?? 🙄😑

He is such a great comic! Life can be a roller coaster…breaks my heart he was going through so much pain but I’m glad things turned around.

Thank you for this interview Megyn.

I first saw him when he did the skit about Christian Karen. But I’ve watched all his skits and some of his standup and I can totally relate as I was raised by a Pentecostal family who went to church 3 times a week. Sunday was pretty much an all day event, Wednesday was missionettes and royal rangers, Thursday was choir practice, and when I got older Friday was youth group. I went through a rebellious stage before I gained a balance in my life from my super strict upbringing.

I am in no way condemning Jon, but as Christians, we are not supposed to look like the rest of the world. That’s kind of the point. When nonbelievers do what Jon did, it’s somewhat expected. But when you call yourself a Christian, you’re holding yourself to a different standard. A holy standard. That’s why it’s a bigger deal.

I love John Crist! He is so funny and it's refreshing that its clean. Wish him much success.

He who has no sin , throw the 1st stone. May God continue to lift John up .

I’m disappointed, why do so many “famous” Christians not want to talk about God, get bold brethren! God definitely restored and redeemed you brother and God had a lot of grace and mercy on you. I appreciate your gift brother, I watch your stand up all the time when I’m doing busy work at home, it keeps me entertained with clean humor, but I would be very careful about the road your treading on trying to fit in and not get “super spiritual” about all that God kept you from after all the bad choices you made. This is all in love, in Christ, as a sister because I made terrible decisions that could have ended in disaster but God had much grace on me and I did not take that for granted. 🙏🏽💒

I’ve seen John twice in concert. He is a riot.

Not every man drinks and goes "wild" - and I do not understand why he could not "get all spiritual" about being mercifully saved from the downward spiral he himself admits he was in. It was a wonderful opportunity to stand up ever so briefly in this interview and speak a real witness for Christ's power and care. Lord, be with this talented man as he continues, hopefully, to grow in the grace and mercy You provide to us. May he use his platform that is doing so well per his own claim and his excellent talent to speak out regarding his relationship with you, sharing Jesus joy and that great sense of humor he has.

I don’t think we should expect a 30 year old to be the type of things that they Just do. That’s one of the problems with our society. Our expectations of each other is very low. And I don’t condemn him at all because there are many things I’m not proud of. I have made more mistakes than I would care to admit. However, as a Christian our bar goes even higher because we are representing Christ. I pray John will always remember that. Being “canceled” in this culture means nothing at the end, however, living genuinely has an eternal value.

I'm glad he owned it. It wasn't pretty stuff he was doing, and he needed to clean up his mess. But he did. And Jesus taught us to forgive. I'm glad the faith community has forgiven him. I'm also glad he can speak about it so cleanly. Here's to the next chapter!

He is very funny and am glad he is in a better place mentally. I think we all need to remember about casting stones.

What he fails to say is that he, as a Christian, is held to a higher standard. Here's what he did say. "I don't want to get too spiritual about it or anything. "

He was not canceled. He screwed up, hurt people, and made a half hearted apology. This is not being canceled.

I didn’t even hear about him getting “cancelled.” Glad it didn’t work. He is super funny!

No not every 30 year old guy drives drunk. He could’ve killed somebody. He just got lucky.

love John. listen to him all the time. so he's human, his new journey of being human saved by grace will just give him more material that we can all relate to and laugh about.

John is one of the best comedians ever

Love your guests Megyn Kelly! They, not your plunging necklines, are the reason I watch your KZfaq channel. ::)

I wish as Christians we would stop referring to “the left” and “the right” in a derogatory manner. I respect all political parties. God gives us free will to choose and we are truly blessed to live in the USA where we can vote and have a voice. I also know many Christians who are democrats. Wonderful people. Your statement that “The left tries to ruin and mock others” is a bit aggressive and categorizes and separates people. I think it’s better to embrace one another’s differences and opinions without putting a group of people into a category. I really enjoy John Crist’s comedy. I think I was a bit taken aback by your comment. I saw more Christians saying such rotten things about democrats (other human beings that were made in the image and likeness of God) on social media that I was ashamed of them. If I wasn’t a Christian that behavior would’ve completely made me want to stay away from anybody who called themselves a Christian. I am definitely not trying to be offensive, but as somebody that is a Christian and loves the Lord Jesus I think we need really walk out the fruits of the spirit.

I am a big fan! Love John Crist!!!

He's a really funny guy. I wish him the best .

I recently discovered John Crist and I was immediately attracted to his energy. I didn't know he was cancelled? This guy is hilarious and cute. I'm a huge fan now. been looking to see where and when he will perform a stand-up. I know he's not really cancelled...I haven't cancelled him so he has a fan in me.

When you're a follower of Christ, approval doesn't come from having sold out shows. It comes from God and being obedient to His Word. You can gain everything in the world and yet lose your soul. I've enjoyed listening to John, but sounds like he doesn't take his sin seriously and is looking for acceptance from the world instead of from the Lord. Not that we have to live perfectly to be accepted by God- He gave His Son, Jesus, to live perfectly and still take the punishment for our sin so that we could be forgiven and be friends with God, who is holy and perfect. We still mess up, of course, sometimes even in "big" ways, but the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and we repent and confess that, and try again because we love God and are grateful for Him loving us first. By downplaying sin and the forgiveness we've received by God's grace, we trivialize what Jesus did for us. I'm sad to hear John talk this way. Only God knows his heart, but right now, he's not showing gratitude for what the Lord has done for Him and it's hard to believe he is a believer.

Sorry it's not what "every guy in their 30's do"

Funny guy!!! Nice that he’s stayed clean and continues to stand for Gods truth!

Love both of them so much!

had no idea he went through all of this!!! Makes me love him even more!!!

Every guy in their 30s behaves that way? Good Lord, I hope not. I did not raise my boys with the "boys will be boys" mindset and neither did my friends. When he came back after being canceled, he was much more contrite. I don't get that vibe from him anymore. Wouldn't be surprised if he returns to his old ways.

Love John!!!

I’ve always loved this guys comedy. And my kids do to. I pray everything works out for him. More than anything get back to the Savior.

He wasn't cancelled. He faced consequences from abusing women. Suck it up John and show a hint of repentance.

Come on John. “Every guy in his 30’s.” What a great standard?!? You know why it was appalling. I’ve totally supported you and so proud of your come back, but this was an opportunity to proclaim a grace you didn’t and don’t deserve. Been disappointed by your podcast and lack of humility lately. Fame. Always a beast. I’m sure all your brothers did similar things in their 30’s? We are all broken, but that’s not the standard or the exception.

I was wondering why I havn't see him in a while but if hes canceled thats probably why hes not being suggested to me. Love ya Crist!

So glad he bounced back!

I’m so glad to have discovered your podcast but, not all of us in the left agree with the cancel culture BS. It’s the worst part of the left to me but, I’ll still listen to your show.

Omg he wasn't canceled. He probably got a few judgemental messages from folks, but VERY overwhelmingly the messages on his apology post were supportive and loving.

His videos are awesome.

If John was a secular comedian, nothing would have happened. His claims of being a Christian entertainer was the problem. This has happened to preachers and Christian musicians. For the most part all who acknowledged their sin were welcomed back. To equate it with cancel culture feels a bit misleading. I think John was noticeably uncomfortable in the interview, because Megyn was trying to push a narrative, he wasn't fully comfortable with. John had to look at himself, as many of us have, and say I fell off the path. He got back on, and he seems to have his life right with God now.

John! I didn't know someone tried to cancel you, you're awesome!

Megyn Kelly describing his behavior as something normal 30 year old men would do is essentially saying, “Boys will be boys.” I don’t understand this in light of her own experience with sexual misconduct from Bill O’Reilly. Surely we can exercise forgiveness and rejoice in Crist’s restoration/healing without minimizing the harm he inflicted on women (who have also had to go through their own healing process).

I was intrigued by the subject line "Right laughing at itself". I'm glad they explained their perspective. I guess everyone sees things from their own experience. I suppose that the fact it was the headline reflects that this was intended to stand out?

Man I wished his dad was in my district. I live in GA and would totally vote for his dad. I just done a quick research. If you live in Johnny Crist district. Please vote for him. I really like what he is doing.

To all the armchair quarterbacking Christians weighing in on John’s performance here, his past sins, apologies he made for those sins, etc; “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:2

I flew from Seattle to Lubbock last week to see John in person. My cousin and I were so disappointed the show was canceled 😢

Crist abused his female fans. Others have done worse to be sure but as Christians we are to hold higher standards for ourselves. I am not angry with him but I think being famous is a problem for Crist.

I still love John Crist!

Love John

But not every Christian guy in his 30s. That is the problem. The problem is proclaiming one thing and actively deceiving your entire audience. I sure do hope that you experience real forgiveness in Jesus. We are rooting for you.

His eyes are two different colors. That is pretty rare. Everyone is an individual, but as an open Christian, I did expect him to live a moral life, as I expect it of my boys and my girl and myself. I did feel let down and disappointed. I hope he is sincere in his repentance and can move forward.

Pro tip: saying you’re scared of the me too movement is the self report of all self reports. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely mind blowing.

Love Jon ❤ great guy! Hysterical, honest and growing in his relationship with Jesus 🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌

His recent special is smart and funny! But his BEST was talking about Portland .. IN Portland. All true and very funny.

preaching is not and shouldnt be a 'family business'

Hi Jon, Didn't know that you were canceled, glad that you're back, though!

This is a story of redemption! People want to say that as Christians we should be above sin and when we commit sin we are somehow worse than a non-Christian who commits sin. That’s so far from truth. ALL of us sin, that’s why we need grace. This is a story of an imperfect human living in the flesh, like we all do, and realizing that he is imperfect. The key is he did something about it. He turned it around. Not to say he will be perfect, again, no one is. But, “let he that is without sin cast the first stone”. I think if you’re a Christian and you’re casting stones at Jon, you need to check up! Proud of him

There is a difference in being "canceled" and being "called out".

I always loved how his comedy is clean. I can listen to it with my mom and not be Uncomfy lol

Great to hear John's story. God bless him.

@6:58 LOLOL. Megyn's Hmmm, I don't know is SPOT ON! And love Crist.

John Crist 👏👏👏 Funny comedian, comedy.

His skit acting is so believable that I feel like I'm seeing the real John Crist for the first time despite seeing his videos many times. What did he get cancelled for?

Please do not let this keep you from pursuing a relationship with Jesus. A true relationship with God will look like genuine conviction from the Holy Spirit, love for the lost (regardless of political status), and glorifying God over glorifying self. Jesus came for you! Do not pass up the greatest gift because of them.

Megyn is a great interviewer.

I love to laugh. I'll check him out

All things work together for good, to them who love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose.

"I did change my Life"...I TUNED IN...and best choice I ever made...Luv ya John...keep us laughing bud...

All people fail even Christians. It is not what you did, but it shows your character how you handle the failure. He turned his life around for his betterment. I will not condemn him because I have things that I failed at and learned to pick myself up to be a better person.

this interview is really upsetting. he doesn't even seem sorry for what he did

Will someone, please interview Rosanne? They broke her.

Well done!

We all have rough seasons! His was just in the light of the public. Respect for him for how he has bounced back and taken ownership. THAT says a lot about his character.

I love how theyre trying to justfy his behavior because he's a 'young man'. Please, he was in his 30s a supposed Christian who got cocky and as a result God took away his blessing, period.

I'm so glad I was raised Republican. Democrats seem so miserable 😖 I start my day smiling,every day has joy in it. I smile at everyone, especially the people who look mad,I try and compliment something about them,it usually works,and I get a smile back.

We are all sinners, so it's not a surprise to me that John was struggling with his own. We are also all hypocrits as well, and it's not surprising to me that John was one too. Jesus Christ, if we allow him, can change those sins to learning and growth and "return beauty for ashes."

I've never heard of this guy. I'm only getting a vague understanding of his behavior from this clip, but it does seem like he was a hypocrite. So, if he recognized that and changed his ways, good.

Canceled??? When? What?! I don’t know what happened and when but according to the comments he apologized for whatever it was so… “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32 Put your stones away people. Let us pray for our brother, bc we are Christians. They will know we are Christians by our love ❤

Oh my gosh I love this guy’s Instagram stories 😂😂😂 He’s SOOOO funny

I never want to be lectured about "morals" by the party that justifies sexual predatory behavior again!

He’s a comedian. His mistake was marketing himself (or for allowing himself to be marketed) as “Christian comedian.” He should just call himself a comedian. He’s not a pastor.

I think at that time the majority of us were waiting not so patiently for him to come back!

No person in church is perfect. That’s the point. We go because we are aware we need God. Even Pastor’s have their own personal demons to deal with. Jon isn’t God. He’s a comedian. Grace him out 🙏🏼

Megyn. I feel, based on my experiences with your career over the years, that you've hit your stride. You've become a woman unleashed and able to be you since leaving Fox and starting your own company (I don't count your foray into the alphabet world of "journalism"). Keep on, keeping on. Oh, love John Crist.

It’s growth and maturity… what he experienced!!! Perhaps grew up on a religious sect and never really knew CHRIST through THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST… part of healing ❤️‍🩹 He came clean and let it all out … CHRIST JESUS is Our Perfect HIGH PRIEST Who made a forever Atonement for sin … in no way do I condone what he did but so many face those same problems… the closer you get to THE LORD the less the world will influence You … only son that is unpardonable is unbelief… today you still have a chance to call on THE LORD and Be Saved ROM.10:13 ACTS 2:21 ROM.4:13-16 ROM.5:1 JN.3:15-18 JN.5:24 JN.14:1-3 🔥🔥🔥 Be Blessed

I like this comedian he has the courage through comedy to show the church why we are so in effective in this lost world. Beginning with the leadership who some think they are fully matured in the spirit and think they are higher than other staff in the church. The crazy part is when you tell them you prayed about it and God says No and its No to their church or ministry they are shocked. The church lives in a bubble.
