  • This is the podcast for those seeking answers about God

    One of the best podcasts to listen to, they read the word, look at the history of it, why certain passages exist, understand the Hebrew, the Greek and Aramaic. Laugh and cry along with them as they look into the bible.

    Your work matters, and it is absolutely worth the effort.

    You ask for feedback so you and the team know whether showing up each week is worth it. I can tell you that you’ve won one more with me, and I know I’m not alone.

    Every week, this podcast challenges me, teaches me, and helps me grow closer to the Lord. It gives me something to think about, something to carry into my week, and often something I needed to hear at exactly the right time.

    I just finished the latest episode with P.A.M. and wow. Thank you both for your vulnerability. I’ve listened to the podcast for about 8 months. The shroud of Turin pulled me in first. Since then, I take in your words like when I wake up so thirsty I can’t drink water fast enough. I was born and raised Lutheran. I lost my way at some point and I’ve spent my adult life fighting to figure out and keep my faith. God’s word flowing through you has changed my life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Christians OPPOSE the Death Penalty?! (What Bible Says…) ft. David Nasser | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Can Christians be pro-life and support the death penalty?
Howerton argues that the biblical distinction is between murder, the taking of innocent life, and government-sanctioned killing as punishment for guilt. The speakers discuss the value of human life, justice, and accountability, while recognizing that Christians may disagree about applying capital punishment in particular cases.
Should Christians OPPOSE the Death Penalty?! (What Bible Says…) ft. David Nasser | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: What does Scripture teach about capital punishment, and can Christians support it while still extending grace and mercy?
Howerton argues that biblical passages authorize government to use capital punishment for serious wrongdoing, distinguishing it from individual vengeance. Nasser emphasizes that Christians should not celebrate death and shares how meeting people on death row deepened his recognition of their dignity and need for grace. The discussion distinguishes whether capital punishment is permissible from whether a public execution is wise or effective.
Pastors CONFRONT Top 5 Megachurch Myths (ft. Joby Martin) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Where can a young Christian man find a godly wife, and what should he do to pursue marriage?
Martin recommends becoming a responsible, faithful man, attending and serving in a Bible-teaching church, and directly asking someone on a thoughtful date. He also advises men to pursue Jesus and become a person worth following before seeking a wife.
Pastors CONFRONT Top 5 Megachurch Myths (ft. Joby Martin) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Why are churches that break conventional growth rules seeing spiritual growth?
Martin attributes it to God's favor and a shift toward making disciples rather than pursuing crowds. He says people want churches to teach Scripture directly, without a bait-and-switch, and that lifting up Jesus draws people.
Is it TRUE that Noah’s Ark Has Been DISCOVERED “100% Confirmed”? (ft. Jeremiah Johnston) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: What's the theory on the other side? It's not the Ark that would have caused that.
Johnston says similar boat-shaped formations occur elsewhere in the Ararat mountain region and may be produced by volcanic lava flows. He cites geological research that identifies the formation as natural rather than the Ark.
