Might be my all time favorite podcast
This podcast is so funny but it also has been a really helpful place for me to examine my own past growing up with the church. It’s been really eye opening in a way I did not expect and I’ll be honest, there’s moments that I realize OH that’s where that anxiety comes from! I recommend it to almost everyone I know in person and definitely recommend it to all internet strangers.

Fan after 10 seconds
Daniel Van Kirk brought me here. Subscribed after hearing the 10 second promo clip. This show is in my wheelhouse on the boat to Jaffa.

Seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever listened to! Who knew one church could have so many personalities in it?!

My only break from a steady diet of true crime
It’s true. I listen almost exclusively to true crime but make an exception for this podcast. It is such a palate cleanser! So funny, and has the actual pulse of US conservative mega churches. I have shared it with many, and even created “best of” lists for each of the different years they’ve been making shows to get my friends started. ☺️

Hilarious
I love the comedy, but this show has been a bit of a life preserver. It’s gotten me to expand my reading list (mega mini), opened me to new ideas and got me into therapy. I’d have to say I’m feeling too blessed to be stressed.

WACKY & BRILLIANT!
Mega podcast is the best thing ever. I'm obsessed and no longer dread my loooong commutes thanks to this clever and hilarious show. BRAVO!!!
Absolute gem
This podcast is hilariously relatable! For those of us who grew up in and then left the evangelical mega church world, it is an absolute must. Shines a light on the ridiculous messages we bought into and gives us a laugh over it all, a break from the existential crisis caused by a lifetime of fear. Thank you for this!!

A Treat and a Treasure! (If no one said that yet)
Just discovered this show and it is laugh-out-loud hilarious. It is binge-worthy with a huge back catalog that’s going to keep me busy for a while. The more churchy your background, the funnier it is. Every line channels my time spent in youth ministry as a student and a leader and long car ride with a mother fond of Christian radio. I am partial to Halle’s son Day - who is “Awesome” no matter what Gray says.

Ironically Accurate and Hysterical Satire
I love this podcast so much!! Growing up in church and purity culture - it’s nice to have comic relief for some of the messed up ideologies and things I endured. A good chuckle listening to this podcast can really turn my mood around. :)

Can’t get enough
This show is truly bingeable. I can’t get enough of Mega! If you grew up in a toxic church environment, this show is super cathartic. If you have an awesome relationship with your church, this show is a great poke at the things we can find funny about mega church culture. Highly recommend.

If you grew up in Churchworld…
…you will have a come to Jesus moment when you listen to this podcast. Or at least you’ll laugh really hard. I often replay the most hilarious bits to my partner because everyone loves it when they are forced to listen to podcasts while they are brushing their teeth. My favorite part is the upfront chat with the hosts and we learn what’s been happening in CLIMAX!!

Nuanced perfection!
Their ability to satirize evangelical culture so well just astounds me every episode. The threads of Grey’s many relationships (+CMB), my son Day, and the seemingly never-ending amount of bizarre church staff make me come back every time.

I loved it but a bit confused
Is it actually sponsored by exxon mobil? That would be a deal breaker. Its a hilarious podcast, and it would make sense if that ad was a joke. The only reason for the 4 stars is sometimes its too real, its kind of sad.

BEST SATIRE EVER !!!
Some serious genius going on here with a show that is painfully funny while also critiquing religion with a seductively sweet tone that pulls no punches. The subtext is amazing. It’s Colbert but about faith, capitalism, Evangelicals and Americans. Congrats on this incredible work.

A mega-church you’ll *want* to listen to
The MEGA podcast is a treat and a pleasure. Whether you come for Gray’s updates about his youth ministry, “Climax!”, Halle’s reports on trying to fend off her son, Day’s scriptural critiques, or a steady stream of church employees sharing their oddly Godly perspectives, every episode is a delight. It’s a Pod thing.

Dead on
This podcast is perfect in every way! Almost too real. I grew up in the evangelical church and it brings back so many memories of living every day with cognitive dissonance. I particularly love her son Day.That was the best episode ever. I could relate to these conversations I used to have when I was a teenager with authorities in the church.Day should have his own spin off podcast.

Such an amazing, tongue in cheek, satire!!
Not one who grew up with a lot of religion in my world (I grew up around “We’re spiritual, not religious” folks) has not slowed down my enjoyment of this podcast one bit! It’s amazingly smart, hilarious and the fact that it’s improv only leaves me that much more dumbfounded! Their guests are awesome and have never disappointed! They are so brilliant and spot on! I mean, “My son, Day” how can you not love it!

Hilarious and insightful satire
This podcast is so well done - my favorite comedy podcast! Both Holly and Greg speak the evangelical language (having grown up in it), and they use it well to create the world of Twin Hills Community Church. They don't pull any punches, but they obviously love their characters and bring knowledge and nuance to what would otherwise be just another weak take on "look how dumb christians are lol." The best part though is that it's FUNNY week in and week out. I recommend starting from the beginning to witness how the characters Halle and Gray develop. So much fun!!!

Hilarious for people familiar with Christian culture
Super funny for people who have a background in the church or are familiar with Christian church culture. Listening to this in bed with my wife is my Sunday morning routine. Also, it’s amazing to realize that it’s improvised. Highly recommended.

Sooooooooo Good
Seriously really really funny, especially if you have a background with the evangelical Christian church. It’s not only funny, but a satirical critique of many issues within the church, giving this podcast an important dual purpose!

Coming from a religious background, this podcast has been healing for me as I process spiritual abuse and all the unhealthy things in Christianity. That sounds way too serious, but being able to laugh has been SOOOOO healing for me.

Of course I love every single episode but your episode this Sunday just tore open my heart threw it on the floor smashed it and put it back together in a little box with a beautiful ribbon it was funny it was smart it was intense even on the third listen I still laughed and cried thank you guys thank you thank you

This is Brilliant
Brilliant improv that satirizes the ridiculousness of American megachurch culture without mocking actual people or beliefs. Somehow they hold the line on pushing the boundaries without being cruel or divisive. It’s filled with smart nuance. I love this show so much. I think Jesus does too.

One of my new favs
I’m a fairly new listener, but as someone who grew up in a church with this mentality and then moved to a mega church, this is just like looking into a mirror and I’ve gotta say it’s great to be able to laugh in retrospect. Great job guys!

Mega feelings about Mega
I grew up in a Midwestern mega church, I’m still in the evangelical world I guess, even though I no longer fit in as my faith as evolved into something much more progressive. This podcast 1) rings SO F’ing TRUE and 2) gives me the perfect outlet for all of my big feelings about church. I am obsessed, and I’m only sorry it took me so long to find Mega.

My favorite!
Holly and Greg (as Halle and Grey) are amazing! As a former evangelical, I can laugh at all the “inside jokes,” but it’s hilarious even if you don’t have that background. The improv is so quick and smart, and the guests are great! Highly recommend!!

Oh my goodness!
This is my favorite podcast of all the times! It’s quirky, smarmy, intentionally unaware and hilariously funny. Greg Hess and Holly Laurent are improv geniuses. I have been known to scream laugh while driving and listening to MEGA so be careful when listening! Do your soul a favor and give this podcast a listen!

A treat and a treasure
I wish my youth group experience had been like Climax!!! 🤣 But seriously, I don’t listen to podcasts, but I do listen to this one. Perfect level of laugh and cringe, and Holly and Greg have brought me some much needed comfort in the midst of COVID times.

Every once in a while, you come across something Original, which is nice and then you also come across something really, really Funny, which is exciting! Thats what “MEGA” is, it’s Original and Very, Very Funny, also, at first I wasn’t sure if it’s real or satire? I’m pretty sure it’s Satire, although sometimes it feels so Real, I fell in-love with it! I didn’t even know you could fall in love with a Podcast!!! In fact I’ve gotta go back to it and listen to more episodes so I can figure it out. Real? Or Satire? Let me know what you think, after you check it out. Please...

Thank The Lord for MEGA
I patiently await Sunday’s not for church, but for Halle and Grey to release their weekly podcast from Twin Hills. I imagine this podcast would be funny to anyone, but for someone who was raised in an evangelical church, it really strikes a chord! Thank you for making me laugh every week and for helping turn my religious trauma into comedy.

Fills my god shaped hole
As with all of the great loves in my life...when you know, you know. I can’t put into words exactly why this touches my heart in the way that it does! It hits some vaguely sentimental spot in my soul that longs for the goofy evangelicalism of my upbringing, without being triggering like actually going to the church I grew up in! Leaves me feeling too anointed to be disappointed!

Jesus CHRIST Mega is the best thing.
Mega is the perfect PTSD treatment for those of us that have deconverted from toxic American Christianity. Go tell it on the mountain! Spread the good news! Come all ye Exvies. Ye deconstructing! Ye unholy & sinful pastoral rejects! REJOICE ALL YE HEATHENS! For the time of mocktrine doctrine has arrived and It. Is. Good.

Hilarious in a mega-church kind of way
Some will find it irreverent and some wil find it Wittenberg Door-ish, but most will find it hilarious. You don't have to have been part of a mega church to get the humor, though it helps. Some of it is really off-the-wall improvised humor, and some of it is quite insightful. You never know what's coming.

So delightful!
Holly is perfect! She’s perky without being overwhelming, and I love her references to her son, Day. The male host(s) are wonderful as well, but I don’t remember their names, sorry. You deserve to have your names remembered, but I lack the ambition to go back and listen to the last 30 seconds of an episode. Anyway, this is a very funny podcast that is a light easy listen, perfect for the weird times we’re living in.

Do yourselves a favor and listen to this podcast. The guests are always top notch, but Holly and Greg in particular make every moment come alive. It's funny, timely, and flat-out entertaining. Not sure which Gray I most look forward to: super excited giddy Gray or depressed and downtrodden Gray. Both are a delight to listen to.

So funny and relatable 😂
I was raised a Jehovah’s Witness 🙄 and they are an extreme branch of Christianity so this podcast makes me laugh about my childhood and all the trauma that it caused 😂. I discovered it through Christine Scheifer from And That’s Why We Drink, she was the guest this week and it was hilarious and I am now a fan of this podcast!

Need to get back on track
Started out hilarious but has taken a turn- recent guests have not been as funny and clearly don’t know Christian culture well enough to do funny improv. Lots of people just playing southern. Get back to the early days of the show! It was so funny and spot on!

Gray saying Nebuchadnezzar is everything
Yo, first I love that new eps drop on Sunday mornings. Also it’s so wild that this seamless world is being created with a full backstory rich in detail and Hallie and Gray always keep up with it. Can you believe this is all improvised? I also love that they like to mess with the guests and put them in fun positions they have to think their way out of. Keep the eps coming!

Too real and too funny
As a ministers daughter I wasn’t sure if this podcast was actually funny or just funny for those of us “in the know”. The Christmas Episode from 2018 had me laughing so hard I was crying. Christmas Taxi is my new favorite Christmas song and I will be playing it at all my festivities from here on out.

Jesus wept. Over how good this podcast is.
Mega the Podcast is to people who are apart of mega churches (or really just the evangelical culture today in general) as the movie “Office Space” is to people who work in offices. SO RELATABLE! To borrow Hollys’ phrase, this podcast has been nothing short of a treat and a treasure! So funny. Absolutely brilliant. Also, I’m probably responsible for a few new listeners. No need to thank me though. I’m just doin the Lords work and spreading the good news. Just know in my heart, I gave you 100 stars.

On one hand, you have what I assumed was a staff of writers putting together a hysterical and awkward interview show (think Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer on “Delicious Dish” from SNL). On the other hand, you’ve got this insanely validating experience hearing the mania so much of us lived while devoted to christian culture. I’m putting both hands together and saying “Bravo!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way.

Love the guests and every week it’s the highlight! Grey and Holly are insanely talented and creative. Please do some stuff about immigration stuff- kids in cages - and about all the horrific gun incidents. Also, it would be cool to have a health related ministry (loved candy with the mental illness/pharmaceuticals stuff) that deals with Christianity in medicine. It’s there!!!!!

Hilarious catharsis
As a female pastor coming out of a conservative evangelical background this podcast is the catharsis I need!

Absolutely hilarious
I adore this podcast and the content is perfection. As someone who attends a mega church (well, I sit in the cafe while my kids go to Sunday school) this podcast brings me joy. I’m too blessed to be stressed!

Gentle satire and SO FUNNY
I listen to almost every single episode multiple times! Can’t wait for Gray to realize the reason he can’t name where in Australia he’s from, is that he’s actually a Kiwi!

No low hanging fruit here! Except for fruits of the Spirit.
I laughed so hard I peed. Multiple times. Gray, were u my youth pastor? I like to imagine u are on furlough from Hillsong. Best therapy ever! I mean, best podcast ever!! Bless your hearts. Thank you thank you! Keep ‘um coming, just like you make the youth come to Climax!

I am always so blessed by the THCC team and am so grateful for the ways they use their gifts to serve God and others. And I love that I can send my tithes and offerings through Patreon. They make giving to the Kingdom so easy!

One of the best!
This podcast is my new favorite thing. Puts me in mind of a Christopher Guest movie with all the wit, subtlety and dark humor. Wonderfully unique and brilliantly preformed.

This is a truly impressive, creative, and enjoyable podcast. I believe the characters exist and the experience of this podcast is nearly cathartic. Exceptional work!

I love it! I recommend to any and all who I think will appreciate ( not my born-again sister obvs) These people are brilliant, I quote the episodes all the time. Have turned a bunch of people on to it. I subscribe to 25 podcasts but this is the only one I will pay into. At treat and a ... you know.

Spot-on Satire
Having grown up in an evangelical church environment, this podcast is weirdly comforting to me. They capture the ridiculous corniness of it all without being mean-spirited, which I appreciate. I have laughed out loud so many times at the authenticity of the phrases and sudden bursts of praise songs. Absolutely hilarious.

Spit take
Y’all. Not 3 minutes in I nearly spit coffee all over my keyboard. Definitely a lot of “inside baseball” for people who have or do spend a lot of time in churches, which is a rarely well-served population in comedy. I so appreciate being able to laugh at the tropes and idiosyncrasies of the church while counting myself as a part of the church.

Genius
This is just... genius. If you like Christopher Guest, this is your jam. Shout out to The Teens! Also, I might be learning about the Bible at this point because of this show? I can’t really tell, but Christianity needs more satire and less psychos. The producers clearly have some background in this world. Honestly, it’s a little scary at times for a secular heathen like me. Like all good satire, they’re not lying. Too anointed to be disappointed!

Cringe-worthy in the Best Way
This podcast is hilarious and scary sometimes in the spot on depiction of a certain aspect of christian culture. Holly and Greg are awesome, and the guests are an great addition to the mix. Look forward to this podcast each week. 🙏

Look. All I can say about this is it’s the single greatest creation in the history of the internet. It’s so spot-on perfect. I want to write something witty or pithy here, but I can’t, I’m just too awestruck.

Absolutely my favorite podcast
Literally every episode is funny. I’m not looking forward to the day where I’m all caught up and have to wait a whole week for each new episode. Mega is my favorite podcast yet that I’ve listened to. Think about Nebuchadnezzar!!!!

Hilarious and witty
Twist Christian culture just a few more degrees and you get Mega. Hilarious and so accurate it hurts. I listen to each episode twice because I miss jokes while I’m laughing!! Good clean fun that also causes me to reflect about the authenticity of my own faith. HIGHLY recommend!!

Great comedy
I chuckle to myself constantly at the great humor on this show. Some of it is so subtle that I almost miss it. Best line of the last podcast I listened to? "This bush is on fire!!" (sung of course)

2 Elated 2 Be Frustrated
As someone who has been single their whole life, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Russ’ ministry at Solo Flight! I pray to one day be in a partnership that is as fulfilling and inspiring as his relationship with Meredith is. Been missing his voice on the last few episodes. Hope they’re enjoying their trip together and/or in separate parts of the country. Keep it up, y’all!

Treat and a Treasure
This is my first ever podcast review and let me assure you, I’m glad I guarded my heart until now. Halle, Russ, and Gray have me literally LOLing every week—from the spontaneous Lord I Lift Your Name On High sing-along, to the Pads Ministry, to the deceptively complex delivery of the line “I love that...”—they somehow just get it. If you too had a weird mega church adolescence, prepare to feel seen in a way you never have been before. Must be a #godthing that I found it. #awesome
- mcbreedy211

Utterly hilarious
Of course a mega church with an escalator and food court should have a podcast! It’s a clever and spot on spoof of simple religious catch phrases (Too dope not to hope!) and people who follow them blindly. So smart and funny!

I dare you to find something funnier...
This is hosted by comedic geniuses who interview comedic genius guests. I laugh outloud by myself constantly and I am totally unclear on how they aren’t all laughing all the time. I’m addicted to the endorphins this podcast gives me. Thank you Holly, Greg, and Ross.

“Black Mirror” for churches
Brilliantly clever. Clearly rooted in personal firsthand experience. There are truths wrapped up in this dark cloud of comedy. A “Black Mirror”for mega churches. So thankful my small church (and not all churches) are this way. But thankful for the providential beauty of satire that Holly and friends brings to reflect on.
- RandTunes
- Jan. 8, 2019
Whooooooo Boy....
I’m behind and have only listened to the first episode, but this is amazing. It rides that wonderfully uncomfortable line of being too real and like many others I had to keep reminding myself that it’s satire. I can’t wait to catch up.

Perfect for self-aware & recovering Christians
This pod is my “weekly bread.” With richly developed and grounded characters, and a realistic mega church backdrop, Mega is literally gives me a P90x - style laughter-based ab workout each week. It’s a therapeutic listen for both self-aware and recovering Christians. Truly a “must subscribe.”

Could have been the actual thing
I love this podcast because if I wasn’t told it was a slight parity of a mega church I would have thought a actual church just started a podcast. Although I’ve never been to a mega church I’ve heard stories and I’ve grown up and I am still going to church and even worked at a church for a little bit so is all pretty accurate, which makes it even funny.

Good Lord, this is hilariously accurate.
Going into it, I knew Mega was a comedy. But nonetheless, the conversations and banter so uncannily and shockingly and unflappably mirror the mainstream evangelical mega-church nomenclature that I had to stop mid episode and re-confirm one more time that it is, indeed, a comedy.

Found this show through Good Christian Fun. Very excited to see how these wonderful people grow the world of this mega church with a family feel. The conversational tone is equally soothing and hilarious. Great format!
