A Thanksgiving comedy skit that features two kitchen-challenged men called upon to prepare the family’s holiday meal, adds to a Christian entertainment ministry’s growing list of popular online videos.

During the last five years, The Skit Guys, whose comedy has been used in church sermons and Bible studies nationwide, have produced 11 Thanksgiving and Christmas videos. The two non-cooks in the video are ministry leaders and actors, Tommy Woodard and Eddie James.

James, 41, told The Christian Post that he and Woodard, 42, have been best friends since high school and were the class clowns. Then, God got a hold of their lives and gave them a purpose and direction to bless and help others in the church and beyond the church walls, James said. more >>

Leading into his interview with Denver Broncos’ Tim Tebow Tuesday, ESPN “First Take” show host Skip Bayless explained that he takes a beating from his colleagues every time he says the evangelist quarterback is “a force of competitive nature.”

During the phone interview with Tebow, ESPN co-anchors posted tweets calling Bayless’ obvious admiration for the quarterback a sign of a bromance between the two and quipped about them going on a “first date.”

Not to be accused of throwing softball questions, Bayless asked Tebow about how he rates his own passing ability, and what he thinks of team president John Elway’s lackluster support for the QB. more >>

Mitch Albom found his spirituality's second wind writing his most recent book.

The bestselling author of Tuesdays With Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven said that when he penned 2009's Have a Little Faith, his own capacity for belief was bottoming out. It took two extraordinary men of the cloth to transform his faith from lost to found.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Albom reflects upon his relationships with Rabbi Albert L. Lewis and Pastor Henry Covington. The former was a New Jersey Jew possessing plentiful spiritual wisdom, while the latter was an ex-convict turned Detroit clergyman. In between the two lies the tale of a man's faith resurrected and recovered. It's a remarkable story coming to all-new audiences when it airs as an ABC TV movie this Sunday during Thanksgiving weekend. more >>

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, Queen Elizabeth II participated in a ceremony held at England’s famed Westminster Abbey.

Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, highlighted the importance of the King James Version to every future translator attempting to keep the Bible modern and relevant.

“The temptation is always there for the modern translator to look for strategies that make the text more accessible and when that temptation comes, it doesn't hurt to turn for a moment… to this extraordinary text,'' said Williams, according to The Associated Press. more >>

After the president and founder of Teen Mania Ministries sharply criticized MSNBC for airing its "Mind Over Mania" documentary on Sunday, the network issued a response saying his accusations against the network are false, and they have told him so.

TMM president Ron Luce says “Mind Over Mania” casts his ministry in a “very inaccurate and negative light” by not fully explaining video and audio clips of TMM events and by trying to make the ministry out to be a cult.

He is also accusing filmmakers of lying in order to gain access to TMM's Honor Academy interns and ministry leaders for interviews. He says TMM was told by filmmakers his ministry would be just one component of a series on religion in America, but the “mockumentary” didn't at all turn out as he initially thought it would. more >>

MSNBC aired a documentary Sunday night featuring former interns from Teen Mania Ministries who say the group did them more harm than good and may even be a cult. The founder of the group, however, says the documentary is a case of irresponsible journalism and casts the ministry in a “very inaccurate and negative light.”

Teen Mania, the focus of the documentary titled “Mind Over Mania,” is the umbrella organization over Acquire The Fire and other popular youth-focused events. Ron Luce, president and founder of TMM, told The Christian Post on Monday he was tricked into allowing filmmakers to visit TMM to conduct interviews with its leaders and interns.

“MSNBC came to us several months ago stating their intentions of writing a story on religion in America, and they asked us if Teen Mania could be covered as the youth component in their story,” Luce wrote in an email in which he asks Christians to pray for TMM. more >>
