In this episode, hear a sermon from Josh on spiritual formation and soul care, exploring what it truly means to become whole before God, ourselves, and others. Drawing from the opening chapters of 2 Corinthians, this reflection invites listeners to consider how God forms us not through strength or certainty, but through presence, suffering, and deep care for the soul.

In this episode, I share a sermon reflecting on Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan and its deeper connection to the command to love our neighbor. Drawing parallels between how Samaritans were viewed in Jesus’ time and how queer Christians are often treated in the church today, this episode is an invitation to re-examine who we imagine as “neighbor,” how Jesus consistently redefines belonging, and what faithfulness looks like when love costs us something.

In this episode, I'm sharing a sermon I preached earlier this year. Drawing on musical theater, I explore the question: What is the difference between a man and a monster? Together we trace how fear, power, apathy, and self-preservation shape the monstrous patterns we see in Scripture, in history, and in ourselves. And yet, through the humility and mercy of Jesus, we discover a God who refuses to become a monster and instead makes a way for monsters to become human again. My hope is that this sermon helps you reflect on your own heart, your own temptations toward self-protection, and the redemptive invitation of Christ to rebuild with compassion, courage, and hope.

In this solo episode, Josh reflects on what it really means to be in process in our sexuality and spiritual formation. He explores why Christians often struggle to make room for growth, especially when shame, purity culture, and unrealistic expectations around “having it all together” get in the way. Josh unpacks the difference between performative integrity and honest integrity, the ways power and secrecy distort our approach to sexuality, and how Jesus’ holiness moves toward our mess rather than away from it.

I sat down with therapists and hosts of The You-Turn Podcast, Sarah Claire and Adam, to explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS)—often called “parts work”—can deepen both our relationships and faith. Together we unpack how understanding the “parts” within us leads to healing, humility, and love, and how the language of IFS resonates with Jesus’ invitation to love God, neighbor, and self.

In this episode, Josh is joined by three friends, Michelle Disarno, Johana-Marie Williams, and Nick Rivard. One thing they all share in common...their love for Lord of the Rings. They explore the intersection of faith, sexuality, and gender through the lens of J.R.R. Tolkien's works, particularly Lord of the Rings. They discuss personal connections to the story, the significance of death, hope and faith, and the queer energy present in various characters. Whether you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not, this conversation emphasizes how faith and sexuality impact our engagement with literature.
