CleanTo mourn... | This episode takes a look at the most personal thing you will ever go through. Mourning. Jesus said, "Blessed are those that mourn for they will be comforted. These words bring a mixed reaction to me having just had my world turned on its head with the loss of my mother (Lynne, 57) and my brother (Caleb, 19). I am still learning how to mourn, and I am not convinced that there is a right or wrong way to do it. But in this episode I discuss some things that I think have held true over the last 6 months. "Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted," Jesus. | 8/17/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanTo be poor in spirit... | We are often dishonest about ourselves. We are even dishonest to ourselves. Its called self-deception and we are getting better at it all the time. Unfortunately there is hope to be found when we own up to our condition. When we realize that, as Jesus put it...we are poor in spirit. This session takes a look at what it means to be poor in spirit. | 8/17/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanBed sores and loosing faith. (loving God when loving God is hard.) | The story of the paralytic from mark 2. This is all about overcoming obstacles that keep us from experiencing God as real. It is about removing barriers between us and God. John Boggs, claims credit for the line "..and Jesus smerks." and any other wording close to the word (smirk). Good stuff John! Anyway the story is a sweet reminder of a lot of things. One of those reminders is that love is always hard, even when we are talking about loving God. Check it out and see what you think. A large part of the general barriers content and overcoming the general barriers came from unChristian http://www.unchristian.com . buy the book, it is a sweet read. | 6/22/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanTo Sit Still | We run and run and work and work. So buisy...all the time...checking this and that, running here, picking up, dropping off it is amazing if we ever get to just sit still. If we do get that chance many of us don't know what to do with our time. This mess of a schedule we run imacts us on every level of life. What would happen if we just sat still. | 6/8/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanNaked Heart | This episode talks about honesty about real doubts, struggless, failures, hurts, wounds and fears. In a place and time where the church to often takes a judgemental stance against "the world" (what a stupid term to use), kind of like the religous people in this passage, Jesus shows a completely different way of treating people...It is called mercy...and who are we to judge anyway. This episode touches on a number of different things, but I felt most importantly it was a message to us. It is okay to be honest and real. God looks at us as he did the woman in this passage with more understanding and mercy than we could ever imagine. | 5/8/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanThe Touch | This is part one of a series called, Jesus Among Us...a look at the example Jesus was while he was here on earth. Touch is a powerful thing, not only for what it does to us biologically but also because of what loving touch represents. We should hug more and we should be quick to love and to put that love into action. | 4/28/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

We have a message that has meaning in a real world with real struggles. Pat answers don't cut it. Find why valuing relevant study of the Bible is critical. Find why settling for easy sunday school answers is a mistake. Join along in a search for truth. Become a student again. | 2/24/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Amazing!
Josh is amazing! Over the summer i went to Camp Orchard Hill and Josh spoke to us he really open my eyes. I had trouble with God I felt like wasn't with me threw my family trouble. Ever since Camp and listening to his sermons things have been better in my relationship with God. All though things at home have gotten worse i still feel happy because God is with me threw it all. I suggest you listen to his stuff he's very real about life. Thank you Josh

Somethings really are not clear unless you have someone explain them in a way you find comfortable. Josh Ott has a qay to show that loving God is not about religion, but about a relationship. Thanks Josh.
