Why don't we do midweek services or worship nights? What do pastors actually do when nobody's watching? What's a conviction we've changed our minds about? Plus, why the modern way of leaving a church is...

A lot of people get saved, get on fire, and immediately want to preach, lead a small group, or start something. And then their pastor tells them no.

Episode 19 of The Analog Gospel addresses the hard question with the plain answer.

A pastor really said this online. Lead Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa unpack the theology behind "women can't think," what mutual submission actually means, why the Bible never says "husbands, lead your wives," and what "kephale" really translates to.

Episode 14. Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa get into it in this one! The honest take on anger, why "nice Christian man" isn't a thing, what the Greek word "porneia" actually means, and why every academic gymnastic move trying to soften scripture eventually lands in the same place: I just don't want to obey it. Plus — comfort and pleasure as gods, social media as a non-need,...

Episode 13. Pastor Jason Parrish is joined by Pastor Howie Smith and John Rowa -- and they went long. Two big conversations: what real repentance looks like (hint: it's not the same as saying sorry), and why the West keeps trying to build the Tower of Babel with better tools. Along the way: toxic masculinity, the Amish, Solzhenitsyn's commencement address at Harvard, why your marriage wasn't built...

Episode 12. A dozen in. And somehow we ended up going from Paul's transformative encounter on the road to Damascus, to Gen Z flocking to Catholicism, to Rory McIlroy winning the Masters with zero phones in the crowd.
