The Analog Gospel with Jason Parrish

The Bible says the Holy Spirit gives gifts to ordinary Christians. Some are easy to accept. Teaching. Serving. Giving. Showing mercy. Others sound strange to modern ears. Healing the sick. Speaking in tongues. Prophecy. Miracles. A lot of Christians quietly file that second group under things that either do not happen anymore or only happen to people who are a little unhinged. But all of these gifts are in the Bible. They are described plainly, given to normal believers, and accompanied by instructions for how to use them. Pastors Jason Parrish, Howie Smith, and Josh Bingle join host John Rowa to work through what the spiritual gifts actually are, whether they have ceased, who receives them and why, and how to pursue them without either dismissing the Spirit or chasing spectacle. We also gets practical. Six questions to ask before you share a word with anyone. What to do the first time someone tells you “God told me to tell you.” Why order is not the enemy of the Spirit. And how an ordinary Christian actually discovers the gift they have been given.

Everyone is asking whether AI has a soul. That’s the easy question. The harder question is what AI is doing to our souls. In this episode, Pastors Jason Parrish, Joshua Bingle, and Howie Smith join host John Rowa to take a pastoral look at artificial intelligence and human identity.  Not recipes and outfit-of-the-day prompts, but the deeper thing underneath: if being human means bearing the image of God, what happens when we start handing the work of imaging Him over to a machine? AI has no moral agency and no consequences. When a pastor gives bad counsel, he has to carry it and learn from it. A machine carries nothing.  We are not throwing stones at AI. There's no sin in using the tool itself. Just don’t expect them do the one thing only an image-bearer can do... carry the weight of what it truly means to be human.

Many people have never heard where tithe & offering money actually goes. In this episode, Pastors Jason Parrish, Erica Parrish, and Joshua Bingle join host John Rowa to pull back the curtains on how tithing really works in a church. The team also gets honest about the parts that don’t get said out loud. Why pastors sound protective when they talk about money. What happens when a church plant can’t make payroll. Why obedience and generosity are not the same thing. And what it actually costs to keep the lights on, pay staff, feed kids, and send help outward. The average churchgoing Christian gives around 2 percent. That gap is the conversation and why tithing isn't a resource problem, it's an obedience problem.

Most of what you believe about the end of the world, you probably learned from a movie. A film in a church basement, a book series your mom had on the shelf, a chart on a wall, or a rapture song that DC Talk covered. Somewhere in there, a theology got installed without anyone ever walking you through it. So we walked through it. Most of it. The rapture, the millennium, the tribulation, the four ways Christians read Revelation, and where each of these systems actually came from. Some of them are as old as the church. One of them is younger than the state of Utah... yet it's the one most of the American church believes. Join Pastors Jason Parrish, Joshua Bingle, and Howie Smith along with host, John Rowa, for a fun and educational, yet non-exhaustive look into our eschatology -- the study of the End Times.  Together we'll discover what's Biblical and what should be... LEFT BEHIND! ;)  Text ANALOG to 55498 for more info and the Weekly Growth Guide that includes the latest sermon, podcast episode, daily Bible reading, and more.

Flat earth. The moon landing. Who really did it. There's an entire industry built to monetize your curiosity, and it's working. But Paul had a phrase for this two thousand years ago, and it wasn't a compliment: myths and endless genealogies.   But the Bible never claims all conspiracies are fake. Scripture records dozens of them. The warning isn't about whether plots exist. It's about what happens to you when you chase them. You get afraid. You start bearing false witness. And you become useless to the people who actually need you.   The enemy wants you distracted!   Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Josh Bingle, Pastor Howie Smith, and host, John Rowa sit down for what turns into one the most pastoral conversations we've had on the podcast.   Trust breaking down. Relationships turning transactional. Suspicion becoming normal. Truth becoming negotiable. And then God feeling very far away.   This one isn't a debunking. It's a plea to stay focused on advancing God's work.   Text ANALOG to 55498 for more info and the Weekly Growth Guide that includes the latest sermon, podcast episode, daily Bible reading, and more.   -- The Analog Gospel is a podcast about Christian living, theology, and culture.
