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.

Occasionally our theological lenses cause us to interpret English words in ways that the Hebrew never intended. By exploring a few Hebrew words like Nephesh, Hesed, and Sheol, we hope to expose some of the layers of beauty and depth in Psalm 86. Come read this Psalm with a fresh set of lenses and then join the conversation and let us know how this Psalm has impacted you!

If we’re honest, we feel overwhelmed far more than we’d like. Why? What contributes to being overwhelmed? What can we do about it? In light of scripture, what “should” we do about it? Join us as we explore these ideas and reflect on our summer in the Psalms series.

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
