Church Soup News (April 17, 2026)

About this episode

Keith Foskey hosts a satirical news show discussing various absurdities and theological issues in the modern religious landscape.

Church soup is the satirical news show hosted by Keith Foskey. This week on Church Soup, the internet serves up another bowl of theological confusion, questionable decisions, and one genuinely heroic story. We cover the largest Easter drone show ever, a video game that lets players perform miracles as Jesus, and an AI “Jesus” charging $1.99 per minute for simulated prayer. Yes, really. We also examine a troubling case involving a self-proclaimed apostle whose reckless actions resulted in tragedy, a church singing Disney songs in corporate worship (because apparently we don’t talk about Bruno… but we will talk about this), and yet another public figure misunderstanding who Jesus actually claimed to be. But not everything this week is discouraging. One courageous high school principal stepped in to stop a potential tragedy, reminding us what real heroism actually looks like. As always, we aim to call balls and strikes, highlight theological concerns, and occasionally laugh at the absurdity of the modern religious landscape.
