“My college roommate once told me that the second he became a minister, after his first sermon, this woman comes into his office,” Tucker said, “[and] she hits on him.”
The new pastor was “wise” and nothing happened, Tucker explained, but the minister told him that he’d “never [be] doing that again, because I know now that I’ve held myself up as, you know, someone people can look to if they want to understand who Jesus is. I’m going to be under attack.”
Russell Brand Asks Tucker Carlson About His Faith in Jesus
In another part of the podcast, Brand asked Carlson to share about how he’s been reading the Bible and asking other Christians questions about Jesus.
“Since I’ve been baptized, since being chosen, since coming to faith, I’ve noticed that I find it harder and harder to engage in anything else,” said Brand. “I’ve had so many obsessions, so many compulsions in my life.”
“I wonder how you are dealing with what appears to be a comparable transition. It certainly seems that something has changed in you lately,” Brand said to Carlson. “You know, you were reading the Bible [for the first time] and I just wanted you to tell us about that transformation.”
Tucker answered, “I mean, it was not intentional at all. And I should just say at the outset, I know nothing about theology, and I don’t think I’m ever going to learn. There’s something about it that bothers me. I just want to go with where I’m led.”

“And so I didn’t set out to read the Bible or become more religious or anything like that,” Carlson continued. “I just felt this internal pull in that direction, and I followed it, and that’s that’s where I remain to this day.”
“But I will say this,” Carlson said, “you can’t understand what’s happening in the world right now, in political or secular terms, because it doesn’t make sense at all—I still don’t understand a lot of it—but I know for a fact that the only framework that makes any sense is a spiritual one.”
