  • 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.

    If you had a daily show, I’d gladly fill my week wi... more

    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.

The Biggest THREAT to Christianity is Happening RIGHT NOW (ft. Philip Anthony Mitchell) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Tell us your faith journey and what sparked your ministry.
The guest describes a brutal street-to-ministry transformation, including a life-altering encounter in Israel, a vow to preach and teach the Bible faithfully, and the decision to start a new ministry that would honor God and reach people in the context of big-city ministry.
Pastor Exposes DEMONIC Strategy to Replace YOU as a Parent | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Are there apostles still a thing today?
The panel outlines four positions: closed office (the office ceased with the original apostles), continuing office (some hold an ongoing, authoritative office), continuing ministry (apostolic gifts without an official office), and apostolic succession (bishops carrying tradition in some churches). They converge on the view that the New Testament does not support a living, equal-office continuation of the original apostolic authority, though some still recognize a broader apostolic gifting in mission and church planting.
Megachurch Pastor Reacts To MLB SCANDAL Targeting Christian Players | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Mike Krukow, what are your thoughts on the conversation surrounding Major League Baseball and Pride Night?
Krukow weighs in with concerns about framing, urges respect for religious viewpoints, and emphasizes kneeling to faith over public display of support for clusters of beliefs that conflict with tradition.
The Bible NEVER Mentions Homosexuality!?... Is that True? | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Jesus never talked about homosexuality, Paul. How do we respond to that line of argument?
Three main counterpoints: (1) silence does not equal endorsement, (2) Jesus spoke within a cultural context where certain sins were universally recognized as wrong, and (3) if Jesus is God, His teaching reflects God's unchanging moral standard, including sexual morality.
Jesus Is Coming Back SOON... But Most Christians Aren't Ready. (ft. John Bevere) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Is there a biblical prophecy yet to be fulfilled before the rapture in your view?
No; the rapture could happen at any time, and the timeline should be seen as a catalyst for holy living rather than a countdown.
