    God's Sovereignty Isn't What You Think (Ep. 206)

    Welcome back T&J fam! On this weeks episode, we start of with a fun counseling question about what seat placement means in the counseling session. We then discuss the trending topic of Nancy Guthrie and her disappearance. This transitions into the topic of God's sovereignty. We discuss what we were taught about God being in control, how this is hard to incorporate with the idea of free will, and how our views are shifting on the topic. Josh opens up about how he does not think God is in control like we think. Ultimately, it leads to us realizing that maybe God is in control, but probably not like we have been taught. Enjoy!

    AI is Thirsty and Crisis as a Marketing Tool (Ep. 205)

    Welcome back T&J fam! This week we start off with a instant coffee review. And to be honest, this is the best instant coffee we have ever had. Shout out to Josh's brother for hooking us up! We discuss tongue twisters, the Olympics, and how AI is robbing the planet of water. This leads to a discussion on what motivates change. We look at how crisis is a key manipulation tool for the media and how it effectively creates action. Recognizing these patters also allows us to see how this is used in religion and with the concept of hell. Enjoy! tattoosandjesuspodcast@gmail.com

    Sledding, the Mystery of the Sentence, and the Core Needs that Drive Us (Ep. 204)

    Welcome back T&J fam! This week we found some time between snow storms to dive into a discussion on life and core needs. We start out with some childhood stories about sledding and dangerous winter fun. Then, we discuss Josh's egocentric view of weather and how neither of us know how to write a sentence. Lastly, we dive into some recent thoughts about who we are in Christ. Are we special and unique or are we meant to disappear into the greater identity of Christ? We wrestle with the extremes of this thought and how living in America shapes are view. Josh highlights the deeper truths that come from these beliefs, which leads to a discussion on core needs that drive us all. Feel free to let us know your thoughts at the address below.

    The Great Gummy Debate and Unlikeable Bible Characters (Ep. 203)

    Welcome back T&J fam! This week we have a fun episode that covers a whole range of topics. Josh gives us a peak into his mind with some interesting imagery. Then we debate the most popular gummies, which flavors are best, and how the chew-ability is very important. Marty brings up unlikeable Bible characters and we debate who would be the worst to hang out with. We discuss what characteristics describe these people and whether it was their wiring or their wounding that made them who they were. Anyway, we are getting ready for an epic ice storm in South Carolina, so enjoy the pod and feel free to reach out at the email address below! tattoosandjesuspodcast@gmail.com

    Alcohol: Permission or Prohibition? (Ep. 202)

    Welcome back T&J family! This week we start off with a mushroom coffee review. This mushroom coffee is not like anything else we have tasted, and that might be a good thing. Marty may or may not have been hallucinating by the end of the show. Then, we jump into our first hot topic of 2026: alcohol. Does the Bible endorse consumption or forbid it? Josh and Marty discuss how their upbringings shaped their view of alcohol and people who choose to partake. They discuss how the Bible addresses the topic and some of the common pushbacks from both sides of the argument. And as always, Marty tries to find the "both/and" in the topic. We hope you enjoy!

    Welcome back T&J fam to the first episode of 2026! We are excited to launch into the new year and hope everyone had a great holiday season. This week we picked up where we left off - the T&J giveaway! Congrats to Josh and Meg! We then dive into a discussion on the declining New Years Eve shows and debate the age of Ryan Seacrest. This somehow leads to a discussion about Josh's shower stretching patterns and his current show fixations. We discuss ways people elevate or lower expectations and how this impacts how we see the outcome. Marty discusses the roll of change in our lives and how it is important to embrace change. Enjoy!

    A T&J Christmas: Giveaways, Coffee, and Christmas (Ep. 200)

    Welcome back T&J family! This is a big episode for so many reasons! The 2025 season is coming to an end, it's Christmas, our 200th episode, and we are doing a giveaway. We dive into the show this week with a Christmas Dirty Brew Review. During the review we announce a giveaway we are doing in honor of our 200th episode (details below). Then, Josh discusses the meaning of Christmas and how it isn't always magical for everyone. For many people, Christmas has lost its spark or maybe never had it to begin with. We process this reality and discuss the importance of recreating meaning. Although this isn't possible for everyone, we encourage you to find new meaning when life changes and situations stop being what they once were. Thank's again for a great year and have a great holiday season! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! **T&J Giveaway** If T&J is your #1 podcast, text or email us a screenshot showing we are #1 and you will be entered into a giveaway during the first episode next year. tattoosandjesuspodcast@gmail.com

    Spotify Wrapped, Powdered Potatoes, and Skepticism (Ep. 199)

    Welcome back T&J fam! We are on episode 199 and are excited to wrap up the year with our 200th episode! Today, we discuss the power of the CPAP machine and it's ability to tame the sinuses, which leads to a discussion on powdered potatoes. Then Marty discusses a struggle he has been having and how skepticism has impacted his view of Christianity. We unpack how this plays out and the possible causes of the struggles. We seek to acknowledge areas to grow in our appreciating differences while acknowledging structure is good. Josh opens up about the value he has seen in a more liturgical church style and how it has taken a while to fully appreciate this change in his life. Enjoy! tattoosandjesuspodcast@gmail.com
