Humor humanizes and warms the heart. Those who follow you know that you have weaknesses and foibles, so let them share in the humor you direct at yourself. Humor should never be used at another’s expense, but it can be used to make people feel at ease, to relieve tension, and even to affirm humanity. Humor must never be crude or disrespectful, but it can build respect.

Albert Mohler (* 1959) ist ein US-amerikanischer Theologe, Buchautor und seit 1993 Präsident des Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Er gilt als prägende Stimme des konservativen US-Evangelikalismus, vertritt ein striktes Bekenntnis zur biblischen Irrtumslosigkeit und kommentiert im Podcast „The Briefing“ das Zeitgeschehen aus calvinistisch-baptistischer Sicht. Bibellesern begegnet er als profilierter Apologet und Ausleger, während seine gesellschaftspolitischen Positionen sowie der institutionelle Umgang mit Missbrauchsfällen in seiner Denomination in der Kritik stehen.
