  Ep. 35| I'm Not Deconstructing—I'm Reconstructing 23.07.2026 51Min.

  Note: This episode began as a Facebook Live. You've heard people talk about "deconstructing faith." But what if the real work is reconstruction? Josiah shares his personal journey: from a Pharisee-like faith full of man-made rules to a direct relationship with Jesus. It started at a church in a brewery—and it changed everything. What really happened during the 400-year intertestamental period (and why the Pharisees matter today)Marginal glossing: How biblical texts were edited, and nobody tel...

  Ep. 34| God Didn't Hire You to Run His Labels Department 06.07.2026 38Min.

  Note: This episode was recorded live at a church gathering, so audio quality varies. God doesn't show favoritism. But the church still does. Peter had a vision that shattered everything he believed about who God accepts. In Acts 10, God breaks down the barriers between clean and unclean, worthy and unworthy, insider and outsider. The lesson isn't just historical—it's a message for today's church. The Old Covenant vs. the New Covenant: What Jesus actually fulfilledHow to distinguish Go...

  Ep. 31| Why Your Goals Are Killing You 29.05.2026 10Min.

  You work towards a goal. You hit it. You feel amazing for 10 minutes. Then you're back to the grind, chasing the next one. You miss the goal. You feel like the world's biggest loser. You spiral.

  Ep. 28| Stop Calling People Your Rabbi—Jesus Said You Only Have One Teacher 02.05.2026 12Min.

  What if the mentors you're following are leading you straight into idolatry? What if the business advice you're taking—the manifestation practices, the fake money on your walls, the worship of wealth—is actually pulling you away from God?

  What if the reason you're not successful yet isn't because you're failing—it's because it's just not time? What if God's timing is perfect, even when it takes 16 years? In this short but powerful episode, Josiah Ryan shares his raw, personal testimony of what it actually takes to become an "overnight success" in business. Spoiler: it takes 16 years. And a lot of failure. And hurricanes. And business partners who disappear. And agencies that burn you out. And pivots. And mistakes. And loss. Bu...
