Upside Down Kings

Send us a note "I am; the other stuff will become." That's the line Joshua keeps returning to in this one — a way of holding onto who God says you are while everything else is still being worked out. In this solo episode, Joshua Wilson shares from 1 John 3:1-3 and a day-three reading in his program: a long list of who God says we already are — loved, chosen, forgiven, free, a new cr...

Send us a note We keep trying to fix a broken operating system — living by the earthly, physical one, then wondering why the fruit it produces is faulty. What if the problem isn't the output, but the whole system we're running on? In this solo episode, Joshua opens John 14 and John 16 and sits with a question he's still walking out himself: which operating system are we actually run...

In this short solo episode, Joshua Wilson shares something he noticed reading through 1 Kings — something easy to skim past: two different men, both filled with wisdom, building one temple. Solomon was given wisdom for the vision and the plan. Huram, a bronze worker from Tyre, was given wisdom for the intricate, skilled...

Send us a note What does a deal sheet have in common with a yield sign at an intersection? One word — and two meanings that look like opposites. In this short solo episode, Joshua Wilson shares something God's been showing him about the word "yield." In his world of investment banking, yield measures what comes back on your money — the return you're hoping for when you hand ove...

Send us a note In this short intro, host Joshua Wilson opens Upside Down Kings with prayer and lays out the belief everything else grows from — that Jesus is the risen King of Kings, that surrender is strength, and that the faithful are quietly raised to stand before kings. This is a show about faith, work, and calling: the Kingdom principles God is showing us about how to live and work in the bus...
