A weekly podcast for 180 Life Church.

The Long Road Home 11/16/2025

The Long Road Home Pastor Josh shares “The Long Road,” a message about how God often leads us the long way for our good and His glory, drawing from Jeremiah 20:9 and Exodus 13–14. Through Israel’s Red Sea moment and Miriam’s song, he shows how remembering the “dry ground” builds gratitude and courage in hard seasons. Josh also tells part of 180 Life Church’s own long road and points us to Jesus—the ultimate rescue we remember at the Table. Be encouraged to be still in trust and move forward in obedience. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/39051320

Freedom Has a Seatbelt 11/02/2025

Freedom Has a Seatbelt Pastor Josh reminds us that God’s boundaries aren’t meant to restrict us but to protect us. From Genesis 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, we see that every person is made in God’s image and called to live within His loving design. Whether it’s sexuality or any other sin listed in Scripture, these boundaries flow from His love, not control—because real love always has boundaries. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38882860

The Image in the Dust 10/26/2025

The Image in the Dust In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks what it truly means to be made in the Imago Dei—the image of God. Every human life, regardless of level of development, location, dependency, or ability, carries sacred worth and divine purpose. Drawing from Genesis 1:26–27 and Jeremiah 1:5, we’re reminded that our value isn’t assigned by culture but given by our Creator. We may have been made from the dust, but we were made in His image. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38783700

Justice: Now and Not Yet 10/19/2025

Justice: Now and Not Yet Micah 6:8 "what does the Lord require you, O man, but to "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly before your God" We are called to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly - but we need to understand what that looks like from a biblical perspective to walk it out well. Often times we are afraid to be vulnerable with others and ask questions, or we punish others for their vulnerability. We need to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to a world that is divided and hurting. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38634830

One Way 10/12/2025

One Way As we continue our “Truth in Tension” series this Sunday, we are going to be looking at how and why Jesus says there is only one way for us to have eternal life. While this sounds like the Gospel is exclusive, which it is, the Gospel message is also inclusive – anyone can be saved; they just need to put their faith and trust in Jesus. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38554465

Lord, Where Are You? 09/28/2025

Lord, Where Are You? Have you ever had a “God, where are you” moment? You're doing the best you can, you’re trying your best but things are just not working out. You’re facing challenges in life, be it financial, relational, health-related, your job, or something else and just can’t see how you’ll get through it. Well today we’re going to see that God is closer than we think. We’re going to look at the Israelites as they leave captivity in Egypt and head to the Promised Land. God guided and protected them, and will do the same for us. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/38382910

Strangers in the Garden 09/14/2025

Strangers in the Garden We all long for intimacy with God, but too often we can feel like strangers in His house.

Love Actually 08/17/2025

Love Actually Deep down, we all like a good love story. As we continue our walk through the Book of Ruth, we see the blossoming love between Ruth and Boaz. It alludes to a greater love story – that between God and us. In Chapter 3 and see how Boaz looks after Ruth and is extraordinarily generous, just as God looks after us and gave His all for us to be made right with Him. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/37852515

Leaving Eden 08/03/2025

Leaving Eden Ruth 1 isn’t just the start of a love story—it’s the beginning of redemption. In this message, Pastor Josh walks through a chapter marked by loss, return, and quiet hope. From famine in Bethlehem to a bold vow in Moab, we see how God begins to restore what was broken. Even in bitterness, He is at work. And sometimes, coming back empty is exactly how the healing begins… as we return to the Garden. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/37651710

Co-Signing Jesus 07/22/2025

What Do You Think? 07/13/2025

What Do You Think? What do you think of when you think about God? It turns out that what we think about God, and what we think about what God thinks of us actually matter; it determines the way we live this life and how we treat other people. It's tough to get life right when we've got the wrong view of God. As we look at Acts 14, we are going to see this in action. In the town of Lystra we going to see a lame man healed, the people treat Paul and Barnabas as gods, and how the two of them try to set the crowd straight. Paul and Barnabas will also face other opposition, but in the end the Gospel message is spread far and wide and the one true God is honored and glorified. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/37389855

Here I Am 05/25/2025

Here I Am Do you get stuck in the paralysis of analysis when it comes to making decisions? Do you think “should I do this” or “should I do that?” Do you think it would be nice if you just knew intuitively what to do? In this message, we address this very topic by looking at the life of Abraham. We find that Abraham was fully available to God and was willing to do whatever God asked of him; he said “Here I am.” This is exemplified by him offering his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. We will see that our greatest ability is our availability and that obedience draws us towards God. When we open our hands and say to God “here I am” – we find that our decision-making is simplified and we can rest in the knowledge that we are following God’s will for our lives. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/36704365

Do Versus DONE 04/20/2025

Do Versus DONE There are a lot of broken gospels out there, but the gospel of do tends to be the most appealing. We love to believe that we can "do it" or "earn it" but that's not how the true Gospel works. Join us as Pastor Josh unpacks how what Jesus did puts on full display that...IT...IS...DONE. /episode/index/show/42525909-63c6-402d-bd0a-8481acc58ce3/id/36236420
