This is a scene from How I Met Your Mother – one of my favs. This got me thinking about Barney’s interpretation of Jesus. I like that Jesus bursts through the door, invented the high five, and well, in some ways it made a lot of sense. While I’m not always excited about Barney’s ethics when it comes to dating women, I found it refreshing to hear something about Jesus on a show I watch regularly.
Seems Jesus can enter the context of any conversation. How long has it been since he’s been a part of yours?

I share your enjoyment of HIMYM! He makes it sound so cool to talk about Jesus. I think, growing up, it was only discussed in three specific settings: 1)church, 2) church camp (especially the campfire devos!), and 3) funerals.
True story.
