Ours is a world of sobering headlines and serious problems, but do we still need to laugh? And is there a real meaning to be unlocked in the great gift of humor?

For answers, and a proverbial barrel of laughs, it’s time for a special On the Road. It’s rare to have two of the funniest men in America together at the same place & at the same time, but that’s the treat we have in this latest edition of the show – as we welcome comedians Daren Streblow & Mark Lowry. To start listening to the full episode right away, skip right to the bottom of the page for the full podcast. Otherwise, here’s some great highlights from our conversation first.

Opening this special episode, we head first to the woodlands of northern Minnesota. It’s there we find North America’s “King of Uncool”, comedian Daren Streblow. Here’s what the funnyman has to say about the significance of finding the humor in life and the path it represents to finding the right perspective.

Highlight – Humor’s Importance

This good man grew up in the northern wilds of the Upper Midwest. So how did a childhood in the hamlet of Ely, Minnesota prepare him for his career in comedy? Prepare to travel to the intersection of the lighthearted and the Scandinavian.

Then in the second half of the show we welcome the irrepressible comedian Mark Lowry! Mark tells us about his upcoming trek to the Upper Midwest and what we can expect to experience at his show.

One of the things Mark is most known for is his time with the Gaither Vocal Band. He shares the story of how his path took him to joining the group – and how he needed time to learn how life was lived on the tour bus.

Then – having spent so much time with one of Christian music’s legends – Mark reflects on what he’s learned from Bill Gaither.
