Naming what’s broken. Keeping what matters.
I’m Stuart Delony—former pastor, current troublemaker, and the voice behind Snarky Faith.
I left the pulpit to tell the truth with satire, story, and a stubborn hope for something better than the church-as-industry.
Snarky Faith is where satire meets spirituality — calling out hypocrisy and rediscovering the good that’s still worth believing in.
What you’ll find here
- A podcast skewering the absurdities of modern Christianity.
- Weekly articles on faith, politics, and culture.
- Satire, storytelling, and a little righteous mischief—because truth’s easier to swallow when it’s funny.
- Conversations that ask hard questions and laugh at easy answers.
- An upcoming book, The Tribulation Survival Guide, told in deadpan apocalyptic satire.
(Translation: less “bless your heart,” more “bless your brakes.” We’re pumping them.)
Why Snarky Faith exists
Because faith was never meant to be a business plan. Jesus’ movement was radical—compassion, justice, and love for the outsider. That’s worth reclaiming. The snark calls out hypocrisy; the faith keeps what still matters.
“Being a Christian is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God’s will.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Who I am (the short version)
- Recovering pastor turned writer/podcaster.
- Reluctant optimist. Amateur heretic. Professional turkey roaster.
- Snarky Faith podcast & columns (Patheos, Quollective).
- Author of The Tribulation Survival Guide (in progress).
After years in ministry, I realized the system cared more about power than people — so I traded the pulpit for a microphone.
Married father of four. B.A. in Communications from UGA. M.A. in Leadership from Fuller Seminary. Still learning more from life than from any classroom.
If your faith survived church, you’re already doing miracles.
(Tiny FAQ)
Is this anti-faith?
No. It’s anti-exploitation. If faith isn’t making us more humane, it’s just PR.
Will you make fun of my favorite pastor?
Only if they earned it. (They usually earned it.)
Why do you think it’s appropriate to swear?
Because words aren’t the problem—bullshit is. Paul said skubalon (look it up, Philippians 3:8). If he could drop a first-century “shit,” I can too—and so can you. Look, it’s even on a t-shirt—so who am I to argue?
Where should I start?
Try the latest podcast episode or the most recent Patheos piece—then yell at me in the comments like it’s 2009.
