Preaching Love!
In 2012, Penn’s Sunday School was born, bringing together Penn’s unique perspective, his razor-sharp wit, and an open invitation to everyone who wanted to join the congregation.
Inspired by his love for conversation and storytelling, the podcast started as a way for Penn to connect with fans beyond the stage and screen. Over the years, it has become a global platform for intellectual deep dives, hilarious rants, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and thoughtful discussions on everything from magic and entertainment to philosophy, science, Dylan, and the occasional game of ‘dick-chicken’.

A man of many passions, Penn is also a prolific author with eight books to his name, including the New York Times bestseller God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales. Known for his unapologetic advocacy of atheism, scientific skepticism, and First Amendment rights, Penn uses his platform to challenge assumptions, ignite debates, and encourage independent thought.
He has an uncanny ability to make you laugh, think, and question everything—all in the same breath.
