Faith Curious is a podcast for skeptics, seekers, and the spiritually tired.
We’re not experts - just two guys having honest conversations about faith, doubt, and the hard questions around Jesus. No pressure. No easy answers. Just a place to explore what you believe, at your own pace.
Culture gave us permission to have sex a long time ago. What it never gave us was permission to feel okay about it afterward. In this episode, Jim and Larry ask whether that leftover ache is guilt, or something else entirely; a sign your body and heart were built for more connection than you were told to expect. We talk design, shame, and the difference between a rule you broke and a wiring you ignored. This isn't a lecture on who's right. It's a conversation about why you still feel the way ...

Sin: A Condition, Not a Checklist
You know that thing where you're quietly ranking your own sins? Like there's a bad pile and a forgivable pile, and you're just trying to figure out which one you're standing in? Yeah. This episode's about that. We're taking the word "sin" back to something simpler, and honestly, harder to hide from. It isn't a category of bad things you did. It's anything that puts distance between you and God. Which means it's not really about tiers. We're not ranking your stuff...

Follow A Person, Not A Platform
Somewhere along the way, a lot of us picked up a checklist. Vote this way. Never say that word. Don't have too much money. Sit in the right pew with the right people who believe the right things. And if you didn't check every box, the message - spoken or not - was that you weren't really following Jesus. But that's not what He asked for. Jesus called Peter and Paul to the exact same thing, and they didn't end up looking anything alike. One's eating with peo...

Bad Things Happen. Here's What God Promised
Somebody you love gets sick. A marriage falls apart. A kid dies too young. And somewhere in the middle of it, the question shows up whether you invited it or not. Where is God right now? This episode isn't going to answer that question. Not the way you want it answered, anyway. Instead, Jim and Larry sit inside it. They walk through Job. Not the Sunday school version, the real one, where God doesn't explain himself and Job doesn't get a reason.&...

Grace. Alone.
We grew up believing love gets earned. Grades, chores, being good enough. So when someone tells you this one's free - no strings, no ledger, no catching up required - your gut reaction probably isn't relief. It's suspicion. This week, Jim and Larry sit with the idea that gets said in church more than it actually gets believed: grace alone. Not grace plus effort. Not a reward for behaving. Just grace. We also don't dodge the obvious pushback: if it's really free, doesn't that just mean y...

Faith & Finances: Handle With Care!
Nobody wants to be told having money is dangerous. Especially the people who worked hard for theirs. But Jesus keeps bringing it up, again and again, and it's worth asking why. This one's not about whether you have money. It's about what money tends to do to you when you're not paying attention. Handle with care. Watch us on You Tube!

Prayer - Does it Actually Work?
Jim opens by sharing a prayer he's been praying for years — and hasn't been answered yet. No resolution, no tidy lesson. Just honesty. From there, he and Larry dig into the questions most people are afraid to ask out loud. Does prayer actually work and if so, how do you measure it? Is it ok to be angry with God? And what does it even look like when it's real, not performed, not rehearsed, just a person talking to God like they mean it. This episode isn't about getting prayer right...

The Bible Episode - Where Do You Even Start?!
If you've ever picked up a Bible and immediately felt lost you're not alone. In this episode, Jim and Larry break down the basics: what the Old Testament and New Testament actually are, why both matter, and where Jesus fits in. They talk through why there are different versions (yes, there are a lot), which one might actually be readable for a normal person, and why starting in the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of John, might be the best first move you make. They both sha...

So You Want to Know Jesus
From empathy and trust to Jesus. That's what we're talking about this week. Truth be told, Jim is flying solo and he say's "never again"! While Larry is tending to some business in Oregon and then moving the family to Ohio, Jim steps in to keep the cadence going. That being said, the guys are excited to get back together and move towards talking about Jesus. This week we'll set up what it means to have a "relationship with Jesus" (is that weird??), and how exactl...

Got Doubt? Good
Most people think doubt is the opposite of faith. We think it's closer to the beginning of it. In this episode we get honest about where our faith came from, when it failed us and why; including the kind of doubt that's loud and the kind you don't even recognize until you're already in it. Also, Larry gives us a glimpse into life as a cop, and Jim introduces us to his newest (and painful!) workout. Also mentioned: Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ and the TV Series The Chosen. Tel...

Embrace Your Curiosity
A lot of people aren't done with Jesus, they're just done with feeling cornered. Curiosity doesn't have a deadline. This episode is for anyone who's ever wanted to ask questions but didn't trust the room. It's about giving yourself permission to wonder, doubt, and take your time; and why that's not a lack of faith, it's the beginning of it.

Maybe We Should Start With An Apology
Faith is complicated. And if it's ever felt hard for you because someone or something hurt you, a question nobody answered honestly, or just a quiet feeling that it's not for you, then this one's for you. No pressure. Just an honest conversation. And maybe an overdue apology.
