The show 'Kristen i Krise' is a personal account of comedian and high school teacher Jakob Svendsen's upbringing and life as a Christian. It is very far from a sermon, preaching or an attempt to convert the audience. It is the story of one man's experiences in a country that calls itself Christian. In an industry that always pokes fun at religion, and in a time of fear of religion - both society's and his own - it's the story of a man trying to find the person he wants to be and live the life that makes the most sense to him - regardless of what others think about it.
