In this episode of Can I Getta Amen, we welcome back Joshua Richards for a deeply honest and redemptive conversation about failure, mercy, community, and the long road of healing.

Joshua shares what’s happened since his last visit—opening up about relapse, broken relationships, and the weight of patterns he couldn’t seem to escape. But even more powerfully, he shares how God met him there—not with rejection, but with relentless mercy.

Together, we explore what it looks like to get back up again and again, the role of authentic community in healing, and how God can redeem even the parts of our story we’re most ashamed of. From walking alongside a dying friend to serving others through ministry, Joshua’s story is a witness to the truth that God never wastes our pain.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles, burdened by failure, or unsure if real change is possible.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can still use your story… this episode is for you.

In this episode of Trailer Parked Theology, Kristi and Josh are getting back to the heart of why they started—breaking open Scripture as regular people, trusting the Holy Spirit, and simply trying to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Coming off Lent and stepping into the Easter season, they're kicking off a new series through 1 John, focusing on one of the most powerful themes in Scripture: Light vs. Darkness.

Through personal stories—from sickness and struggle to spiritual renewal—Kristi and Josh talk about how easy it is to drift into distraction, comfort, and even hidden darkness. But how they are reminded that God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s inviting us to step into the light, one small step at a time.

This episode is a real, honest look at faith: the struggle to stay disciplined, the pull of old habits, and the freedom that comes from living in the light of Christ.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure how to move forward in your faith… you're not alone.

Episode Highlights

•  Kicking off a new Scripture series on 1 John and the theme of light 
•  A real-life struggle with distraction, comfort, and “low-grade” spiritual burnout 
•  How small compromises can slowly pull us back into darkness 
•  “God is light”: what that actually means for our daily lives 
•  Why walking in the light isn’t about perfection—but direction 
•  The danger of “image management” and hiding our true selves 
•  Why Jesus doesn’t expose us to shame us—but to heal and free us 

Scripture Verse from this week's episode

1 John 1:5-7

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say, “We have fellowship with Him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of His Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
