Greetings, Congregation! This is, bar none, the most enjoyable conversation I've had in awhile, and also the longest. Josh Patterson from (Re)Thinking Faith stops by for, essentially, a narrative existential free-flow thought explosion. We talk about just about everything, and get very personal with our current walks with God. This one is not to be missed, and be sure to check out Josh's podcast when it returns on Aug 3rd! churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs storefrontier.com/churchandotherdrugs

Greetings, Congregation! This week doesn't need much introduction. After a few years of trying, Jonny Craig comes on the show! Jonny is known for his incredible vocal talent that he lent to bands like Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, Slaves, Isles & Glaciers, and an extensive solo career. Jonny is probably equally well-known for his public episodes of addiction. I wanted to hear from the man himself what it was like for him all those years, and how he has gotten to the place he is at today: sober.

Greetings, Congregation! This is an episode you don't want to miss. We bring on none other than the little brother of our former co-host and co-founder Jay. Danny ended up following in our footsteps..and going quite harder quite a bit faster than we ever did. Danny experienced consequences from the get-go, and it's a miracle he is alive and sober today. His story is truly remarkable, and I hope it brings hope and healing to anyone out there that thinks they may be too far gone! churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs storefrontier.com/churchandotherdrugs
