John Crist's Brutally Honest VBS Volunteer Will Have You Cracking Up

John Crist’s brutally honest VBS volunteer will have you cracking up. The popular funnyman, as someone helping out at his church’s Vacation Bible School, does not hold anything back with his very pointed and direct comments. Watch the short and hilarious clip to hear what the straightforward and forthright volunteer had to say about every possible subject and situation that might arise during VBS.

If you grew up in the church, you are likely more than familiar with Vacation Bible School (VBS). Of course, with every church and denomination, there may have been some differences here and there, but for the most part, they all followed a very similar format and structure. It’s likely to look the same no matter what church you may have attended. 

Typically, VBS was one or two weeks during the summer, when the kids were out of school. It never failed that VBS was always during the hottest, most uncomfortable week of the entire summer. In addition to the scorching, unbearably hot weather, VBS consisted of time when a lesson – a story from the Bible – was taught, followed by arts and crafts, refreshments and recreation. Again, some churches may have followed a slightly different schedule, but this was the general flow for one night/day of Vacation Bible School.

Also, as anyone who has volunteered for their church’s VBS knows, by the end of the week, you are completely and entirely worn out. It’s a long and tiring week, as volunteers are continually left corralling and looking after the children. By the end of the week, you are usually asking yourself why you willingly agreed to help, and make a silent, personal oath that you will not help next year. But you and I both know you’ll help again next year.

In a clip posted on YouTube, John is a volunteer helping at VBS. What he says and the situations he reacts to will look and sound very familiar to anyone who has ever attended or helped out at a Vacation Bible School. John has clearly attended several Vacation Bible Schools in his day.
