Called Anyway is a podcast for the tired, the truthful, and the trying.
Hosted by Johanna Walsh, teacher, mom, and self-proclaimed “matte Christian,” this show explores faith in the midst of exhaustion, inconsistency, invisible labor, self-doubt, and everyday life.
Through honest storytelling, reflective conversations, and a little humor, Called Anyway creates space for people who love Jesus deeply—but don’t always feel like they’re very good at Christianity.
This is not a podcast about getting faith right.
It is a podcast about continuing to say yes anyway.
For anyone who has ever feared becoming the very thing they were trying to escape.
This episode explores caregiving, inherited family patterns, therapy, shame, grace, and the slow work of learning a different way.
Curse Breaker asks whether cycles are truly passed down—or simply repeated—and what becomes possible when truth finally has a voice.

Ep. 4: Pop-Off Queen
For anyone who has ever inherited something they didn’t ask for.
This episode explores family patterns, anger, identity, and the difficult work of deciding what gets passed on—and what stops with us.
Pop-Off Queen asks what happens when the traits we’ve always laughed about become the traits we recognize in ourselves—and whether grace can rewrite a legacy without erasing where we came from

Ep. 2: The Leftovers
For the exhausted believer trying to find Jesus somewhere between work, motherhood, scrolling, and sleep.

The Leftovers asks whether Jesus still wants what remains when everything else has already taken its share.

Ep. 1: Bad at Christianity
For anyone who has ever felt unqualified for faith.
This episode explores spiritual inconsistency, the lies we believe about ourselves, and the gap between the Christian we think we should be and the person we actually are.
Bad at Christianity asks whether God can still use imperfect people—and what it means to be called anyway.
