Ever feel like your faith, your business, and who you’re becoming… don’t quite line up anymore?

That’s where this conversation goes.

Curt Kempton and Melody Edwards sit down with Josh Latimer for Part 2—and instead of clean answers, they follow the tension. The result is a conversation that moves through belief, doubt, identity, and what happens when long-held frameworks start to shift.

This is about answering what feels true and what doesn’t anymore.

For anyone who’s felt that quiet disconnect between what they were taught and what they’re actually experiencing… this one will feel familiar.

What They Talk About:

• Why Curt can't stand "fake it till you make it" and Josh's alternative: holding the pose
• The moment business trophies start gathering dust, and what it means for identity and growth
• Melody's fierce struggle with inherited faith, especially when her core values collide with evangelical politics
• Josh's "God as good dad" framework and why he puts religion itself on the chopping block
• Parenting through spiritual evolution.. how Josh talks about faith and shame with his kids (very unfiltered)
• The story of Uncle Roger, the lovable career criminal, and what it reveals about judgment, grace, and cosmic "grading on a curve"
• Why entrepreneurial paths aren't for everyone and Josh's Home Improvement marathon as parenting philosophy
• Riffing on economics: business as a garden vs. a pie, why value multiplies, and how real wealth is created collaboratively

Key Takeaways:

• You can outgrow your religious programming without tossing out the concept of a loving creator.
• Business (done well) is about serving people, not extracting value—it’s a messy, generative web, not a zero-sum game.
• There’s deep power (and pain) in living with uncertainty, wrestling with faith, and giving yourself permission to change your mind.
• The roles we play in work, faith, and family aren’t interchangeable; your gifts matter exactly as they are.
