LAB the Podcast with Josh Nadeau | Heaven Meets Earth

In this episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach sits down with artist and author Josh Nadeau to celebrate the release of Heaven Meets Earth, a 40-day devotional journey through the Nicene Creed. Together, we explore why “We believe” is a powerful communal confession in a fractured age, how beauty can lead us back into rooted truth, and why recovering historic Christianity may be one of the most urgent acts of formation for families today.

LAB the Podcast ON THE ROAD with St. John's Episcopal Church

In this special ON THE ROAD episode, LAB the Podcast visits St. John’s Episcopal Church in Tampa, Florida. St. John’s is a sacred space where beauty is overflowing. From stained glass and reverent architecture to the liturgy and community life, every element invites you in to St. John’s. We explore how beauty shapes worship, how tradition forms imagination, and how sacred spaces quietly disciple us before a single word is spoken. Through conversation with Father Chris of St. John’s, we reflect on the role of liturgy, hospitality, and embodied faith in cultivating a church that doesn’t just house beauty — but invites it into the world.
