Many of us treat Easter like a yearly reminder to try harder, but we’re actually missing the point. In this episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose get honest about the “God-guilt” we all carry, breaking down why grace isn’t about fixing your behavior and why the Gospel is actually way more scandalous than we think. If you’re tired of the “fake it ’til you make it” Christian life and you’re ready for real transformation (minus the shame), pull up a chair. Let’s get into it.
We all have a “laundry chair”—that pile of stuff we know needs to be dealt with but we’d rather just ignore. In this episode, Pastor Josh and Katie Rose get honest about the “dirty laundry” of our lives: the secret sins, the recurring mistakes, and the heavy shame we carry around like a backpack full of lead. Why is it so hard to actually hand our mess over to God? How can we reach for Jesus and finally stop letting our past define our present (extend that same grace to others)?
We all want that “mountain-top” faith, but most of our lives happen in the mundane middle. This week, we’re getting honest about self-discipline. It’s not about being a spiritual superhero; it’s about showing up (even when you don’t feel like it) and finding rhythms that invite God in every day. Katie Rose and John get real about why staying disciplined is so hard, the small steps that make the biggest difference, and the freedom to be found on the other end of consistency.

We all know the feeling of an empty tank, but how do we keep moving when the road gets steep? This week, we’re digging deeper into Hebrews 12:1. Pastor Josh and Katie Rose discuss the specific weights that drain their spiritual energy, the daily rhythms that can keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and how to build a life designed for the long haul rather than the immediate crisis.
We’re diving into the deep end answering listeners’ questions today, talking about the struggle of sexual identity in faith spaces – if God made everyone, why are some people born with different sexual preferences?
