About our humor stories
Looking for clean, funny stories you can share with anyone? This is Inspire21’s humor section: gentle jokes and short funny stories that have made readers laugh since 2000. Nothing here will make you blush, so it’s a favorite with seniors, families and churches.
Start with Church Humor, our most-read page, full of the kind of funny church stories pastors love to open a sermon with. Married couples swap Husbands and Wives by email, and Old Folks Jokes is a long collection of funny stories for seniors about getting older, forgetting things and laughing about it anyway. Children get their say in Children’s Prayers, and sports fans should read the Greatest Headline in the History of Sports Journalism.
Many of our funny Christian stories end with a moral, which makes them easy to use in a devotion, a Bible study or a church bulletin. Every Tuesday we add a new set of short funny devotional stories, each with a one-line lesson and a Bible verse to go with it. New jokes arrive several times a week, so check back often and pass the best ones along.
