Greetings, Congregation! it's been a rough week, and for starters, i'd like to dedicate this episode to Crystal Jones who went to be with our Lord this week.

Greetings, Congregation! Ok, so if you are a patreon member..i know, ya'll have heard this one. I'm sorry, ok?? I had recorded an episode with Dan today about an as-yet-announced new project, but then I was informed I couldn't release it until next week...SO, i figured i'd release this great talk as a regular episode for the people to hear. Ever heard of anyone microdosing Dextromethorphan for depression? Neither had I. And i've heard everything.

Greetings, Congregation! This week is a fun episode recorded LIVE (except it wasn't aired live..so..) from Dallas, TX! Jed was in town for a conference, and just happened to stay at the same airBnB as David Hamilton..the operations manager of RYFO..and organization looking to bridge the gap between musicians and christianity. David talks about what it's like to work as a full-time missionary, how he fell into that role, and what RYFO is all about. AJ Maestre also joins the group, and we end up talking about our favorite horror movies. Oh yeah, and Ryan Davis says hello as well. Be sure and check out RYFO on the interwebs and support this awesome cause! ryfo.org [email protected] patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs RYFO began as a college-dorm-room dream in January 2004, and was made a reality in January 2009 with the launch of our first website. Since January 2009, the missionaries involved in RYFO’s missions agency ‘RYFO Network‘, have served the needs of thousands of touring musicians with practical assistance, free meals, beds to sleep in, care-packs, prayer, and friendship. The original vision to serve touring musicians was birthed from seeing Christ-following loved ones struggle through the unique pressures, temptations, and realities that come with life on the road. Today, though we still hold a significant desire to see Christ-following musicians on the road cared for, God has also deepened our desire to see the Good News of Jesus’ love shown and shared with all musicians (local and touring) that do not have a personal relationship with him, and those that may have been disenfranchised from the Church for one reason or another. We long to be a part of the Father’s reconciliation plan, while continuing to see the needs of Christ-following musicians supported as well. Our heart is to see musicians discipled and to see God’s glory reflected through their lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

Stephen joins Jed for a riveting Today I Learned about exploding Hippos, they discuss some recent justice and more. Then, Jed and Stephen do a deep dive into Satanism and the most human debate of all time...Does God exist, or is there nothing? Jed and Stephen go toe to toe..mono e mono...person to dude...superman to shazam. Only one Deity is left standing. Well, not really but it was a VERY fun conversation. sacredtension.podbean.com [email protected] patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greetings, congregation! John joins the show after a long break to talk about the super bowl and whether or not humanity is on the brink of destruction. They also discuss our brother podcast Dopey being on a recent episode of This American Life and how it reminds Jed of what's going on in his personal life. Then, Jed talks to Lowell Macgregor from the Taylor Made Retreat. Lowell tells his story of debauchery to sobriety, how he moved from setting fires as a 14 year old to running a spiritual retreat with 29 years sober. Lowell hit some low points in his sobriety as well, and the two have a sobering discussion about that. taylormaderetreat.org [email protected] patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings, congregation! This weeks starts off with Besh and Jed recounting some stories from Jed's recent trip to Colorado, so thoughts on Psychedelic drugs, a story from Jed's meth days, and Besh saw a ghost. Then, in an interview borne from a facebook argument, Jed brings on Nick Lucky to discuss the reality or nonreality of demons and demonic attack. Nick was raised in a very fundamentalist fashion, and was formerly very interested in demonology. He has since changed his views, so Jed gets to the bottom of it.

Greetings, congregation! Thanks for joining us on another week, and excuse my absence from last week! I had to recharge. This week, Dan Smotz from The System Is Down podcast joins Jed for a little back-and-forth, where they discuss recent news and "the Great Molasses Flood"...it's some much needed history. Then, Jed gets a chance to talk to Jesse Harvey, the founder of The Church Of Safe Injection. Jesse's organization seeks to end stigmas against addicts and provide safe, evidence based treatment and support to those currently addicted. Jesse believes "no one deserves to die because they use drugs", and I wholeheartedly agree. Jesse started operating a needle exchange from his vehicle, and the organization has grown to 22 chapters around the country. I thank Jesse for what he is doing, and hope you may consider helping his cause! facebook.com/safeinjection jesseharvey.org [email protected] patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs Learn more about your ad choices.
