My new novel, Father, I Am Losing My Footing in This Place Beside the Sea, is out now. Not for the faint of heart, it is a story about what makes someone do evil things and what happens to a person when they are surrounded by evil.

  • Refreshing and thoughtful

    Josh is clear, loving, and humorous as he interviews his guests and discusses the relationship between the Christian and Art. One of the things I love most about this podcast is that Josh doesn’t speak in “Christian-ese”! He quotes Scripture, he applies faith-based truths to the topics of discussion, but he sounds like a normal person while doing it! It’s honestly a breath of fresh air. I loved the recent episode with Matt Hughes - honest and charitable. Can’t ask for much more than that!

  • A pleasant accompaniment to the books

    I always enjoy Josh’s books, but this is a nice cherry on top to the material. These interview episodes provide a more candid experience with his guests- highly recommend!

  • Wonderful podcast for reconstructing

    I spent my huge school years listening to Showbread, so I’m already a huge fan! I have been on the journey of deconstructing the parts of Christianity that didn’t actually line up with Jesus and caused a great deal of anxiety for me, for the last few years. But never wanted to leave Christianity altogether. This show gives great hope for reconstructing and reasons to stay in the church, in ways that are actually healthy!

EOT 007: How do you think a Christian should expect to experience God?
Q: How can a believer guard against confirmation bias when testing what they hear from God?
The host emphasizes testing against Scripture, seeking accountability from multiple trusted people, and recognizing that God's guidance should align with biblical teaching and communal discernment rather than solely personal conviction.
EOT 006: Doomscrolling has almost become an addiction. What would you say to those of us who are fretting in the storm?
Q: What would you say to those of us who are fretting in the storm?
Julie Thurman offers reassurance that each generation has faced paradigms of unraveling and that turning to Scripture, limiting doomscrolling, and focusing on compassionate action can anchor people.

EOT 005: I am a stoner. Do you consider this to be sinful?
Q: What are your thoughts?
The host frames the discussion around scripture and communal accountability, arguing that personal conviction should be weighed against biblical teaching and the guidance of a faith community, while acknowledging nuanced positions on medical or prescribed uses.
It Wasn’t/Was Intended to Be Offensive (with Jeff Suffering)
Q: Is having a song that discusses both spiritual themes as well as dark personal struggles common in your work?
It seems unprecedented; on the same record, having both kinds of songs reflects the authenticity of my experience.
It Wasn’t/Was Intended to Be Offensive (with Jeff Suffering)
Q: Did you ever think, oh man, someone's going to be upset about this song, or how do you come at it?
I was more about the music and the expression and where we were at at the time creating stuff.
