Hosted by Anthony Heath II, God Is Laughing at Us is a podcast about the moments when life goes one way, your plans go another, yet God is still doing exactly what He intended.
Through real stories, conversations, scripture, humor, and the occasional completely unnecessary pop-culture reference, Anthony looks at the ordinary, frustrating, funny, and sometimes ridiculous parts of life and asks what God might be revealing in the middle of them.
Sometimes, once you finally see what God was doing, all you can do is laugh.
Apparently there’s a growing list of things you’re not supposed to do “as a man.”
Stand on your tiptoes. Use an umbrella. Blow on hot food. Vent to your friends.
…according to who?
What starts as internet foolishness turns into a bigger conversation about how easily preference becomes principle—and how quickly somebody else’s standard can start sounding like truth.
We do it online. We do it culturally. Sometimes we even do it in church.
In this episode, I’m looking at the standards we accept without questioning where they came from, what actually defines manhood, and what happens when those standards don’t even hold up against the example of Jesus.
Romans 12 gets into conformity. Jesus washes His disciples’ feet. Jesus weeps. And somewhere in all of that is a pretty simple question:
If Jesus doesn’t pass the “as a man” check, how good is the check?
Scripture: Romans 12:2 • John 13:3–5 • John 11:35

Wow... That's Heavy
Some things matter. They just don’t all carry the same weight.
Fresh off Man Camp, Anthony starts thinking about battles, side quests, convictions, marriage, other people’s walks, and all the things we can give more attention than God ever asked us to.
Using Jesus’ words about the “weightier matters” in Matthew 23 as the thread, this episode asks a different question: not simply does this matter? but how much should this matter compared to what God has actually assigned me?
Along the way: church clothes, orange juice pulp, financial provision in marriage, purity conversations, forgiveness, Instagram bios, making faces at the camera, and the reminder that being made for war doesn’t mean you’re assigned to every battle.
Scripture referenced: Matthew 23:23–24, Romans 8:28, 1 Corinthians 13

Wow... Still All-Pro
What happens when you’re convinced it’s time to move on, and God seems to be saying, “Not yet”?
Anthony sits down with longtime friend Whitney Brown for the kind of conversation that only comes from more than 20 years of history. Whitney shares how a demanding season at work had him exhausted and ready to leave, only for a raise, an unexpected conversation about succession, and some suspiciously perfect timing to make him reconsider what God might already be doing.
That opens the door to Anthony’s own experience of wanting out, realizing his frustration was following him home, and learning the difference between being grateful for God’s provision, and pretending a difficult situation doesn’t bother you.
From there, the conversation goes where conversations between old friends go. Patience, perspective, leadership, boundaries, the Golden Rule, “habitual line steppers,” serving the church without making church inaccessible, fatherhood, rest, and the All-Pro brotherhood that has kept the same group of Xavier friends connected for more than two decades.
Somewhere in all of it is Proverbs 19:21. We can make all the plans we want, but God still gets the final word.
