Mostly Focused

🎙️ Mostly Focused: Pastors, Prophets, and Prompts This week, Jonathan, Garrett, Zach, and JP sit down to wrestle with one of the hottest topics in ministry today: AI in the Church. From sermon prep to spiritual authority, from ethics to the image of God, we ask the real questions: Is AI a helpful tool or just a crutch for “microwave sermons”? How should pastors help their people spot truth from co...

🎙️ Mostly Focused: Devils, Demons, & MeThis week on Mostly Focused, we’re taking a slightly spooky (but still grounded) trip into the world of spiritual warfare, demons, and all the weird stuff we’ve wondered about but didn’t always know how to talk about. We’re not here to scare anyone, but we are here to talk honestly about those moments that made us stop and think: “Wait… is there more goin...

🎙️ Mostly Focused: Biblical Friendship In this heartfelt and honest episode of Mostly Focused , we dive into a question that hits close to home: What does real friendship look like—especially through a biblical lens?

We share about some of our struggles in marriage. We talk about therapy and counseling. And...

Sex & Purity Culture: The Youth Group Experience Youth Group. Those were some formative years. Most of us probably look back at them fondly. We think of trips to the beach, theme parks, and if you were “charismatic” the circus, other wise known as RAMP. We think of lock-ins, dodgeball, & “murder”. Some people call it mafia. But they are wrong. We think about our first crushes and heartbreaks. Mixt...

Charismania: The Fire & the Fame. If anyone has spent any amount of time in a “Charismatic” church chances are high you’ve experienced miraculous breakthrough and varying levels of arguable insanity. Whether that insanity is a pastor yelling “shamma llama ding dong” while trying to hit with a holy suplex, or simply someone coming up to you and saying “thus sayeth lord” and attempting to impart dir...

Dirty Jesus: The Divine Dance of Grace & Sin. The LGBTQ Community. Abortion. Porn. “Woke”Ideology. Is it possible for Jesus to be in the midst of these “sins”, working, moving, healing, restoring, and loving? Can you be a disciple of Christ and struggle with these sins? It’s a lot to unpack and we do our best to share our thoughts on where and how we should answer these questions. Things get intim...

Divorcing Trump: A Plea to End Christian Nationalism. Political fanaticism has been alive and well in the church for decades, but over these last 8 years it’s been at a fever pitch. In many ways, and for many people, it’s been elevated to point of idolatry, giving way to a false Messiah, one that rides a red elephant and sits on the throne of the White House. Trump “the man” isn’t the issue, it’s...

What Women Want: Scripture or Misogyny? Lol, k. First of all it’s not lost on us that we had a whole episode discussing women in leadership and didn’t have a woman on the panel. Small oversight…ANYWAY… This week we were joined by guest host Zachary Griffin as we tried to answer the age old question about women’s role in the church, specifically in regard to serving in leadership capacities, includ...

Oh, Hell!? Yeah, we finally talked about, but what do we really believe about this fiery inferno? Is it a biblical fact or an ancient fiction? This week we break down our personal beliefs, what the scripture says, why so many are abandoning the idea of Hell, and debate if it’s a core piece of a believers theology or not. Plus, we talk about Jonathans Disney hospitalization, JP accidentally creates...

Phewwwww. Another loaded episode. This week we dive deep into what cancel culture really is and what it looks like in the church. We breakdown different examples of each extreme & try to find the biblical answer at the center. If you thought the last few discussions were good, this one continues to build on that.

House of Sand: The Rise of Biblical Illiteracy

Are we failing ourselves by splintering off over doctrine quibbles? Are there legit justifications? Is it fear based? Are we hindering the body? How can this be remedied? Where do we stand on doctrine? What are your core beliefs? What are dealbreakers for you in defining Christianity What are some “support” beliefs that you hold outside of core beliefs?  How closely do your support beliefs align w...

State of Faith: The Relaunch.

It's been a year since we last recorded, and to quote Bob the tomato, "Have we got a show for you." Garrett, Jonathan, and J.P are back in possibly the most unfocused episode to date. We start with Garrett and Jonathan giving their best unsolicited "Dad Tips" and lessons learned over this year as new dads. We cover some quick thoughts and reactions to the SCOTUS ruling on Roe v. Wade and how the r...

This week Jonathan, JP, & Garrett are joined by special guest Cody Fox as we discuss why Christians have the perception of being a hateful bunch.

We are super excited to be joined by Jerod Warren this week as he shares his journey of faith with us. He walks us through his seasons of loneliness, rejection,  belonging, and how in his most broken state, God brought him to salvation. As a bonus, you get a little dash of politics and what Jerod thinks about charismatic beliefs and why he is choosing to travel the world in the new year.&nbsp...

Abortion & Homosexuality, yes, we finally talked about them. Join us this week as we do a deep dive into some of the "taboo" topics of Christianity and how we wrestle with how we should respond. Plus there are some fairly candid conversations about pre-marital sex and pornography and how they have impacted our lives. This week definitely has some weight behind it so listen with discretion as s...

Tune in this week as we're joined by Jonathan's lovely wife, Abby. She dives in to what it was like growing up as the "good girl," and the pressures she felt to live up to that title. In Mostly Focused fashion, we run off the rails a few times...this week being no exception.
