One story is about a counselor who had a client who believed that the church bells ringing at odd times were secret messages from God just for him. The counselor gently guided him to see that it could just be the bell - ringer's practice schedule. It was funny in a way as the client was so adamant about his theory.
Sure. There was a Christian counselor who had a client who always came in with a different wild animal story. One day the client said a squirrel had preached to him in his backyard. The counselor just laughed and used it as a starting point to talk about how we can find spiritual messages in the most unexpected places.
A client went to a Christian counselor for help with depression. Instead of using evidence - based methods to address the depression, the counselor just kept telling the client that they needed to pray more and have more faith. The client's condition worsened as they felt like their real issues were being ignored.
There was a story in a small Christian community. For Thanksgiving, they were planning to have a big feast and share their blessings. A little boy, who was very excited, thought he could help by bringing his pet chicken to the church kitchen as a contribution. When he showed up with the chicken running around the kitchen, the ladies cooking were initially shocked but then couldn't stop laughing. This simple act of the boy's innocent misunderstanding added a lot of humor to their Thanksgiving preparations while still being in the spirit of sharing within the Christian community.
One funny Christian Christmas story is about a small church's nativity play. The little boy playing Joseph got so nervous that when Mary said she was going to have a baby, he loudly asked 'How did that happen?', much to the amusement and shock of the audience.
One funny story could be about a church's Thanksgiving potluck. There was a new member who decided to bring a 'turkey' made entirely out of vegetables for the vegetarians in the congregation. When it was time to serve, everyone was so curious about this unique 'turkey'. Some kids thought it was a real, magic turkey that turned into veggies. It brought a lot of laughter and also started a great conversation about being inclusive during the holiday.
There could be a situation where the Christian counselor is more focused on converting the client rather than providing actual counseling. For instance, if someone is dealing with career stress, the counselor might keep diverting the conversation towards religious conversion, thinking that the client's problems will be solved once they accept Christianity. This is a misuse of the counseling role and can be a real horror story for the client who just wants practical advice on their career.
A camp counselor once told the kids a spooky story around the campfire. But in the middle of it, he accidentally sat on a marshmallow that one of the kids had dropped. He jumped up yelling, thinking something bit him. The kids were in stitches. It completely ruined the spooky mood but made for a great laugh.
Sure! One time a camp counselor was leading a hike. He was trying to show off his knowledge of nature and pointed at a big tree, saying it was a very rare species. But then a little camper said, 'My dad planted those all over our backyard last year.' The counselor was so embarrassed.
A story goes that in a Sunday school class on Thanksgiving week, the teacher asked the kids to draw what they were most thankful for. One little girl drew a very strange - looking turkey with a halo on its head. When the teacher asked her why, she said it was a 'holy turkey' that God sent for Thanksgiving. All the kids and the teacher had a good laugh at her creative and innocent idea.
