Thinking of themselves as a modern "God Squad, like the new cops who want to shake up the precinct," each tries to enliven their services when the energy level begins to ebb by spicing up their sermons with stand-up comedy. At one point, Jake actually says, "But seriously, folks," to his congregation as he brings in a gospel choir to serenade his temple. But when their old childhood...
