Talking Points

Episode 403 – Blasphemy Laws Are Blasphemy
Q: So what is blasphemy as understood in this discussion, and could there be blasphemy laws in a modern context?
Blasphemy is treated as a challenge to the core claims of religious belief, and the hosts explore how, in theory, governments could enforce limits on speech perceived as blasphemous, while acknowledging constitutional protections complicate such enforcement.
Episode 398 – Faith at Camp (with special guest Josiah Canto)
Q: If you could bring one aspect of camping ministry into daily ministry, what would it be?
He emphasizes space for kids to be their authentic, silly selves and the importance of counselors who are willing to be vulnerable and genuinely connect with youth to foster belonging and growth.
Episode 398 – Faith at Camp (with special guest Josiah Canto)
Q: What was Faith like during high school and college, and how did camping influence your call to ministry?
He describes falling in love with camping as a teen, serving as staff in training, pursuing a theology-focused degree with an emphasis on Youth and Family Ministry, and realizing that camping provided a space where he could help others feel seen, heard, and loved, ultimately guiding his vocational path.
Episode 398 – Faith at Camp (with special guest Josiah Canto)
Q: Tell us a little bit about Josiah growing up. Where were you born?
Josiah shares that he was born in Flagstaff, Arizona, spent several years in China as a missionary kid, lived in Indonesia, and moved around California during his schooling, which shaped his faith journey and love for cross-cultural experiences.
Episode 374 – An Interview With an Exorcist
Q: How common is possession and what signs indicate it?
Possession is very rare; typical indicators include preternatural signs and multiple criteria, but most cases are psychological or medical, requiring collaboration with psychologists before any pastoral intervention.
