On Miracles, Perception, and Process
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 16 - Recorded 6/18/2025 A reflection on what it means to truly see what’s already present—God’s movement, the quiet unfolding of miracles, and the subtle shifts of awareness that only become clear when the heart opens. The conversation travels through infinity, consciousness, and the limits of perception, revealing how often the mind tries to grasp what only the heart can recognize. Stories of healing, surrender, and unexpected clarity become a lens for understanding prayer in a deeper way: how easily fear disguises itself as devotion, and how truth creates the space where grace...

In the Mikveh of Blessed Time
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 15 - Recorded 06/12/2025 Welcome to a conversation about how the mind’s search gives way to the heart’s knowing. Like the ancient and holy ritual of immersion in the mikveh, the pool where living water enters only when a single brick is removed, this dialogue explores how we learn to remove the brick within the heart, opening it as a vessel ready to be filled once its quiet barriers are set aside. From questions about “settled science” to stories of baptism, discernment, and the fear of being unworthy, the conversation follows the movement from thought into presence. It asks...

What Lies Beneath the Lake
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 14 - Recorded 06/08/2025 The story of leaving the garden never really ended... it just changed forms. We still reach for knowledge over wisdom, control over communion, self-importance over surrender. This conversation moves through the many ways that fall continues: in science, in religion, in our own restless minds. Yet through the inversion runs a thread of mercy, and the possibility that even our confusion is the path back home. Beneath the calm surface of life, unseen currents shape everything we believe we control. This conversation traces those hidden movements—how the human...

Episode 13 - Recorded 05/25/2025 This episode moves from the fading voice of conscience to the rediscovery of something higher within everyday life.

Through stories of silence, humility, the conversation explores the difference between believing in the sacred and living it. What begins as a discussion of the mind’s need for moral grounding unfolds into a meditation on awe, presence,...

The Knower of the Heart
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 11 - Recorded 5/15/2025 Have you experienced a heart-based knowing that reveals truth beyond the mind's reach? This discussion attempts to touch into this question and more.

There is discussion around how true spiritual transformation comes not from argument but from the quiet radiance of peace and love. Geoff tells a story of a missionary who spent decades in India without a single...

The World Isn’t Hell
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 10 - Recorded 4/30/2025 This discussion explores one of life’s hardest questions: Why does a loving God allow suffering? From Job’s ancient trials to the temptations of Jesus on the temple, the problem of evil, the role of free will, and how suffering becomes a test of faith. Along the way, they reflect on mindfulness, miracles, and Revelation as a coded message of hope challenging the idea that we live in hell, and instead pointing toward discernment, love, and resilience.

God Doesn’t Wait for Perfect
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 9 - Recorded 4/30/2025 Prayer is more than words, it’s a way of living. This chat explores how constant prayer shows up in everyday life, from practicing patience in traffic to resisting frustration with scam calls. Along the way, the conversation turns to the strangeness of Revelation, the story of Balaam, and the warnings to the Nicolaitans. Are angels and demons too unbelievable for modern minds, or is dismissing them part of the deception? At the heart of it all is the question of discernment: how do we know what God is asking, and do we trust we have the strength to do it?...

The Fire That Burns Away What Isn’t True
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 8 - Recorded 4/23/2025 This talk attempts to trace the mystery of God’s fire and light, how resistance creates heat, how Christ’s eyes of fire in Revelation burn away what cannot last, and how love flows when we stop resisting. Along the way, they explore Paul’s possibly misunderstood words on “submission,” the difference between Hebrew’s concrete poetry and Greek abstraction, and how our language has shaped both faith and confusion. They also reflect on A.T. Still and the birth of osteopathy, the innate wisdom of the body, and the danger of losing faith and healing to...

Miracles Aren’t the Point. Faith Is.
Love for the Unseen God
Episode 7 - Recorded 4/23/2025 Miracles aren’t really about healing. They’re about faith. In this episode, Josh and Geoff talk about how God uses signs to shape hearts, build trust, and draw people closer to Him. They explore the reality of modern slavery and human trafficking, the way wealth and consumption create illusions of freedom, and how the Gospel of John is deeper than the ocean, an invitation to discover who we are in God’s story. The conversation also turns to miracles as lessons rather than performances, hearing God with the heart instead of the brain, synchronicities that...
info_outlineEpisode 2 - Recorded 1/15/2025
This second episode of Love for the Unseen God starts with the same intro as Episode 1—but don’t be fooled. What follows is a very different, deeply personal conversation that unfolded unexpectedly after the first recording wrapped.
Josh Thomas and Dr. Geoff Dugue continue their unfiltered exploration of faith, friendship, and spiritual awakening—this time leaning more into the lessons of the cross, the mystery of prayer, and what it means to walk with God when you don’t have it all figured out.
Josh opens up about past shame, healing, and the struggle to feel like he belongs in faith conversations. Geoff brings his steady, scientific lens as a physician, offering grounding and curiosity rather than certainty. Together they wrestle with the paradox of being unqualified and yet deeply called, especially in a world where church and culture often place barriers around what faith “should” look like.
There’s no sermon here—just a raw, evolving conversation about the unseen God, the unseen wounds we carry, and the unseen grace that keeps showing up.
