Comedian Theo Von recently opened up about his participation in Bible studies with country music star Morgan Wallen, whom he describes as “an inspiring guy.” During a conversation with fellow comedian Leanne Morgan, Von revealed, “I’m gonna see him tomorrow, Bible study, actually,” highlighting the personal connection he feels to Wallen’s faith journey.
Morgan responded with enthusiasm, speculating that Wallen might even take on a preaching role in the future. “I think he’s gonna end up preaching,” she remarked. Von agreed, stating, “I have no idea, I just know he’s an inspiring guy.” Their conversation shifted to the nature of their Bible study sessions, where Von mentioned they would be watching a movie as part of their gathering, but he was unsure of the specific chapter they were studying.
Wallen, who has been vocal about his Christian beliefs, previously participated in Bible studies during his upbringing. Morgan noted her own past experiences in similar settings, saying, “I used to be in one when I was growing and raising my children, but I don’t, I’m not in one.” Von humorously added, “Well, that’s when you need the Lord the most, when you’re raising those little hench women — and men,” showcasing his lighthearted approach to serious topics.
In past interviews, Von has expressed a longing for a connection with spirituality, particularly in the context of his life in Los Angeles. He has commented on how religion is often not embraced in the entertainment industry, stating, “Out here in Los Angeles, in some of this industry and stuff that I’m in, it’s not a rejection against Christ, but there’s definitely — religion isn’t super welcomed.”
Von has been candid about his struggles with faith, acknowledging that it can sometimes feel weak. “I feel alone, I feel hitchhiking if I don’t have some kind of a faith,” he remarked. He emphasized the importance of faith as a source of healing, stating, “Having faith, that’s a free parent,” and referred to Jesus Christ as a significant role model from his youth.
The exchange between Von and Morgan not only sheds light on their personal beliefs but also reflects a broader discussion on the role of faith in daily life, especially within the context of the entertainment industry. Their candidness about spirituality and the search for meaning resonates with many individuals navigating similar paths.
As the conversation concluded, it was evident that both Von and Morgan value authenticity and connection, whether through their comedic endeavors or their faith journeys. Their dialogue serves as a reminder of the diverse ways individuals seek understanding and community in today’s world.
