She's been awesome helping me through this relapse. She also, though, has been going through a lot herself. She just went through a huge break...

Greetings, congregation! Those that subscribe to the patreon have heard this already (and you could too! patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs) but it's time for me to continue being honest and share with my listeners what happened. This episode was recorded live while i am at treatment. I got a chance to laugh and joke with my friends, during a time of great darkness. I want to make it clear that underneath it all is a sense of grave urgency. I have relapsed and caused considerable damage to myself, ...

Greetings emogelicals! This week, for the 11th episode of our patreon bonus show, we decided to do something special. Josh brought on a special guest, none other than podcaster, theologian, and LOTR-nerd Tripp Fuller! Josh had Tripp listen to some Lorna Shore (Tripp hates screamy music) and then we discuss the decidedly emo lyrics and what they mean to him. Plus a long, long rant about Lord of the Rings. A great time was had by all. If you enjoyed it, please consider either joining the Patreon a...

Greetings, congregation! Or I guess i should start with asking if you have received the gospel? Oh, you have? Well...I don't believe you. Ok, I'm being cheeky but the boys talk about whether or not street preaching, tiktok christian influencing, and recording yourself spreading the gospel are good things or not. Jed definitely has...opinions. Andrew also tells a hilarious story that he most definitely was not supposed to tell, so , be cool. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/ad...

Greetings, Emogelicals and Congregation! This week, we decided to release our TENTH episode of the patreon-exclusive show, The Emogelicals! Every month, Josh Patterson of rethinking faith get together and talk about emo music, Christianity, philosophy, and whatever deep, dark thoughts they get in to. So, that being said, this episode is more raw, opinionated, and late-night that typical, so consider that a content warning?

This week, Jed was part of the Pastor With No Answers: The Mixtape era crew and Hayne, Joey, Amy and Jed talked about an oft-discussed topic: does God directly intervene because of prayer? Does God intervene at all? Is that something He does, or something we just ascribe meaning to? Hayne has some definite views of his own, especially following the Asheville floods.

Greetings, Congregation! This week, Jed, Joey and Robbie from Pastor With No Answers had a snow day conversation! Robbie and Jed both got historic amounts of snow here in the south, and Joey...did not. Anyway, Joey wanted to talk about an unexplainable sighting he had (aliens?) and the conversation moves to Jed still struggling with legalism and the age old question, "is God mad at me?". Plus, Joey reads Jed a letter from a listener who was very upset about what Jed said about Kratom on an episo...

Otherwise, the boys get into some interesting stuff- how far would you go for self-defense? Is evolution real?
