Alex and Josh sit down with and old friend of Josh's, Seth Webster!  Seth is the bass player for the band Oh Sleeper as well as several other bands we talk about.  We talk with Seth about brokenness and healing.  We talk about forgiveness and his struggles growing up as a human on planet Earth.  

Josh and Alex sit down with long time friend of Josh's Gallen Pierce Lackey and discuss brokenness and the role it plays in our faith journey.  As well as faith in the current political climate and the struggle that exists in that space.  Gallen is an artist and musician formerly of the band Sound the Ruin, he resides in Oregon with his wife Cassi and their 2 beautiful sons.  

Solacejosh and Alexander Miller sit down with guest Alex of Joplin, Missouri.  Animal is a skateboarder, entrepreneur, musician, entertainer and so much more.  We have a candid conversation about his decision to stop drinking alcohol despite owning and running a bar.

Co-Host Solacejosh recounts his story from being a part of the May 22, 2011 F5 Tornado that cut a mile wide path of destruction through the town of Joplin, Missouri.  

Celebrity podcaster Jordan Johanson of the hit podcast Notable Nashville (which we barely mention, haha)  shares his story of coming to terms with his own sexuality and dealing with mental illness! Jordan is effed up and we love the crap out of this dude!  Give it a listen it's lots of fun!

Shawn was born into a life of struggle.  His story is heart-breaking, up lifting and ongoing.  He is regularly speaking to people about the stigma around AIDS and helping to find resources and relief for those struggling through it.  Give a listen!  He is definitely an effed up individual and we love him!

Such a good conversation and unfortunately the audio on this recording is as effed up as we are! Oh Well. crank it up to 11 and listen close!!

We sit down and talk to Pastor, Spiritual Director, Podcaster, Cigar Shop Owner, Councelor, Husband, Father and one of @Solacejosh's best friends for this fun and encouraging episode! Joshua talks about all the roles he operates in, his own life and the 7 stages of faith.
