On The Phone With Josh
A Pentecostal and a Baptist walk into a seminary... the punchline? A podcast that bridges academic theology and everyday faith. Meet Josh and Josh, your hosts for a podcast that’s all about connecting the dots between theology and real life. Josh from Missouri has twenty years of pastoral experience, trains church leaders through AssociateLeadership.com, and teaches practical theology at Evangel University. Josh from Oregon is a biblical languages enthusiast who’s on his church’s sermon prep team and serves faithfully in his church. Both have their MDivs, a love for deep conversations, and a passion for making theology something you can actually use in your faith journey.

Though fasting is an occasional part of many corporate and private spiritual rhythms, what exactly is it? What does scripture have to say about it? And how can we use fasting to live more faithfully with God? We explore all of that and more in this episode of On the Phone with Josh. But we want to hear from you as well! There is much we have to learn from one another. Come join the conversation with us on social media!

Once that work was finished, what good would it do anyway? Join us as we share our thoughts on the big picture story of the Bible. Then join us on social media to share your own thoughts.

Today, our teenage daughters join us to explore social media through their eyes. This is a follow-up to Episode 22 where we began exploring the world of social media only to realize that we needed the perspective of the generation younger than us. What do they believe are the positive and the negative uses of social media? How might this inform how we parent? Join us for this fascinating take on social media through the eyes of our daughters, then comment on our social media to let us know what you think!

Who exactly is the Holy Spirit? What does He do? Can we get a big picture idea of the Holy Spirit that is inclusive of various theological camps but not confined to any one of them? If we could, how would this effect our day-to-day lives. As always, we invite you to listen in on this conversation and then join in on social media. We love hearing from you!

God is all about his own glory…or is he? Is that the primary motivation for his action in the world? How would Jonathan Edwards answer that question? How would you answer that question? And what difference would the answer make anyway? Let’s think through this together and see if we can come out in a Biblically healthy place.

Josh and Josh(ua)
Let us begin by saying that we have very few pictures of us together since most of our friendship after college has been on opposite sides of the country. We couldn't be more proud that this is one of the few that we have.
So what do you do when you live on opposite coasts? You talk - a lot. For 20 years we've been talking life, history, theology, Christian living, marriage, and parenting. At the heart of it, we believe friendship is a vehicle for soul formation. So we take it all seriously even if we don't always take ourselves so seriously. Check out Episode 0 for a brief introduction to us and to our show.
Our podcast is an invitation for you to join the conversation. Every week we'll delve into a new topic and then open the floor for listeners to join the conversation on social media. www.facebook.com/onthephonewithjosh // www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh // www.twitter.com/joshes_t
