Can You Question Christianity Without Losing Jesus? | Joe Smith ep 93
Some conversations don't end with answers.They end with better questions. In this episode of What The Hell Do I Know with JB, I sit down with Joe Smith for one of the most thoughtful conversations we've had about faith, church, deconstruction, inclusion, politics, and what it actually means to follow Jesus. We talk about church hurt, LGBTQ+ inclusion, spiritual trauma, fundamentalism, certainty, grace, and why so many people aren't rejecting Jesus—they're rejecting harmful versions of Christianity. Whether you agree with everything we discuss or not, my hope is simple: Ask better questions. Because sometimes the deepest faith isn't found in certainty. Sometimes it's found in the courage to wrestle honestly. This isn't a debate. It's an honest conversation between two people trying to pursue Jesus while making room for difficult questions. If this episode challenged you, encouraged you, or simply made you think, I'd love to hear your perspective in the comments. Whether you agree or disagree, let's model the kind of conversation we wish existed more often. IN THIS EPISODE • Deconstruction vs. abandoning faith • Church hurt and spiritual trauma • LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church • Politics and American Christianity • Why certainty can become dangerous • The tension between grace and truth • Loving people without conditions • Following Jesus beyond religious tribalism CONNECT WITH JOE SMITH Instagram@therealjoe.smith Reasoned Reality Project Slippery Slope Shop[https://www.slipperslope.shop](https://www.slipperslope.shop) CONNECT WITH JASON BECKER Instagram@_jason_becker Website[https://www.vintagewisdom.org](https://www.vintagewisdom.org) THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS FloorzzLuxury Flooring Done Right[https://www.floorzz.com](https://www.floorzz.com) TruNorth Pest ControlProtecting Homes Across the Emerald Coast[https://www.trunorthpest.com](https://www.trunorthpest.com) If you enjoy conversations that explore faith, culture, leadership, and life without pretending to have all the answers... 👍 Like this video 💬 Leave a comment 📺 Subscribe for more conversations every week. #JoeSmith #JasonBecker #Faith #Jesus #Christianity #Deconstruction #ChurchHurt #FaithAndCulture #SpiritualGrowth #Podcast #WhatTheHellDoIKnow #VintageWisdom

Episode 92 | April Ajoy: Is Christian Nationalism Driving People Away from Jesus?
What happens when questioning your faith actually brings you closer to Jesus? In Episode 92 of "What the Hell Do I Know with JB", I sit down with author, speaker, comedian, and content creator April Ajoy (@aprilajoy) for one of the most thoughtful conversations we've had on the podcast. April grew up immersed in evangelical culture before beginning a long journey of questioning Christian nationalism, politics, church culture, and the beliefs she inherited. But contrary to what many assume, her journey wasn't away from Jesus—it was because of Jesus. Together we talk honestly about grief, deconstruction, LGBTQ relationships, church hurt, privilege, politics, and what it means to love people well while holding onto faith. This isn't a debate. It's two people asking difficult questions with humility and respect. Whether you agree with April (or JB), disagree with her, or find yourself somewhere in the middle, I hope this conversation challenges you to think more deeply and love people more generously. Topics include: • Christian Nationalism explained• Deconstruction and rebuilding faith• Church hurt and religious trauma• LGBTQ conversations inside the church• Politics and Christianity• Learning to hold convictions with humility• Why asking questions doesn't have to destroy faith• What Jesus looks like through a different lens April is the bestselling author of "Star Spangled Jesus", available wherever books are sold. 📚 Pick up "Star Spangled Jesus" today.

The Questions the Church Is Afraid to Ask | Summer Smash Up Pt. 3
Welcome to **Part 3 of the Summer Smash Up**—a collection of four of my favorite conversations from this season of **What The Hell Do I Know with JB**. If you're new here, this is the perfect place to jump in. This episode brings together four incredible guests who aren't afraid to ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, and remind us that truth is often found in honest conversation—not easy answers. 🔥 **Ellie Unbound** (@ellieunbound) shares her journey through deconstruction after growing up in the megachurch world and why asking hard questions doesn't have to mean abandoning faith. ❤️ **Quinn Padilla** (@itsquinnpadilla), therapist and abuse survivor, courageously explains the cycle of abuse, trauma bonds, and what healing can actually look like for survivors. 💪 **Nathaniel Blackburn** (@nathanielwblackburn), founder of **TruNorth Retreats** and former MTV *Real World* cast member, talks about why vulnerability isn't weakness—it's where real transformation begins. 📖 **Zack Lambert** (@zackwlambert), bestselling author of *Better Ways to Read the Bible* and Senior Pastor of Restore Austin, shares why context matters, why grace matters, and how reading Scripture differently can deepen—not diminish—your faith. These conversations don't ask you to agree with every opinion. They ask you to think. To listen. To have empathy. And maybe...to grow. Whether you've been in church your whole life, walked away from faith, experienced church hurt, survived abuse, or you're simply searching for honest conversations that matter, this episode is for you. 👇 I'd love to hear from you. **Which conversation impacted you the most?** Leave a comment and join the discussion. --- ### Connect with our guests Ellie UnboundInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellieunbound Quinn PadillaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsquinnpadilla Nathaniel BlackburnInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathanielwblackburn Zack LambertInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zackwlambert --- ### Connect with JB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_jason_becker Website: https://www.vintagewisdom.org --- ### Huge Thanks To Our Sponsors 🏡 **Floorzz**https://www.floorzz.com Whether you're building your dream home or remodeling your current one, Floorzz has you covered with exceptional flooring and customer service. 🐜 **TruNorth Pest Control**https://www.trunorthpest.com Keeping homes across Florida and Georgia pest-free with industry-leading service.
