  • 2013
  • 1 Season

Have A Little Faith is a heartfelt and inspiring travel series hosted by Zach Anner, a comedian and writer with cerebral palsy. Produced by SoulPancake and aired from 2013-2014, the show takes viewers on a journey to different faith communities across the United States.

Throughout the show, Anner meets with different leaders from various religions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and more, and learns about their beliefs, traditions, and practices. From attending a gospel choir in Harlem to visiting a mosque in Michigan, Anner brings his signature humor and wit to these cultural exchanges and creates a diverse and inclusive space for dialogue.

At the heart of the show is the theme of community and diversity. Anner explores how faith can bring people together and create a sense of shared purpose, regardless of their background or differences. Each episode is centered around a theme, such as hope, love, forgiveness, and compassion, and Anner uses these themes to connect with the different faith communities and foster meaningful conversations.

One of the standout moments of the show is Anner’s visit to a Native American reservation in South Dakota. He meets with tribal leaders and learns about their history, culture, and spirituality. Anner also participates in a sweat lodge ceremony, which is a traditional Native American practice of purification and healing. Through this experience, Anner gains a deeper understanding of the challenges facing indigenous communities and the power of faith in overcoming them.

Another highlight of the show is Anner’s trip to Israel, where he explores the complex political and religious landscape of the region. He visits places like the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock, and meets with both Israeli and Palestinian residents to hear their perspectives. Anner’s candid and empathetic approach to these conversations makes for some of the show’s most memorable moments.

One of the unique aspects of Have A Little Faith is Anner’s openness and vulnerability about his own beliefs and experiences. As someone with a physical disability, Anner reflects on how his faith has helped him navigate difficult times and find purpose in his life. He shares personal stories about his upbringing in a Christian household and his struggles with self-doubt and anxiety. By sharing these intimate moments, Anner creates a deeper connection with his audience and demonstrates the power of faith to overcome adversity.

Throughout the series, Anner also incorporates moments of levity and humor. He infuses his conversations with witty one-liners and playful banter, making the show both informative and entertaining. Anner’s charisma and charm shine through in every episode, and his authenticity and relatability make him an excellent host for this type of show.

Overall, Have A Little Faith is a refreshing and insightful exploration of faith and culture in America. By showcasing a diverse range of communities and beliefs, the show highlights the rich tapestry of religious traditions in the country and underscores the importance of compassion and empathy in bridging cultural divides. With Zach Anner at the helm, Have A Little Faith is a must-watch for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith, community, and diversity.
