Becoming Something with Jonathan Pokluda

You have been asking for it, here it is! In this episode JP, Kathy, and Nate answer a listener's question about navigating the chaos of new parenthood — and they have a lot to say! They talk about trusting God with your kids, consistent discipline, keeping your family in church even when it's hard, and why every interruption is actually an invitation. If you're a new parent, expecting, or just trying to figure out how to raise kids who love Jesus, this one's for you!

This week we sit down with author and podcaster Annie F. Downs to talk about her new book, Don't Let That Hold You Back, stepping into the dreams God has placed in your heart, and why the enemy works overtime to keep you from them. Annie opens up about her engagement, choosing not to have kids, and what it means to finish your name well. Pick up her new book wherever books are sold — you're going to love it! https://a.co/d/06ofEkVN

This week we sit down with Brian Guan, a content creator from New York City who went viral for going around pretending to be a Christian — and ended up actually becoming one. Just 12 days into his faith, Brian joins us live to talk about what happened when an experiment became real, the convictions he's already wrestling with, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when you're starting from scratch. This one is refreshing, honest, and a whole lot of fun!

This week we sit down with country music artist turned pastor and author Granger Smith to talk about his new book Poison the Well — and the question he asks almost every single day: are you actually a Christian, or have you just checked the box? Granger shares how his own faith unraveled and was rebuilt from the ground up, why he's passionate about sharing the gospel with Christians, and what it really means to follow Jesus beyond an altar call. Pick up Poison the Well wherever books are sold! https://a.co/d/0hQWM5I7

In this episode, a listener calls in with a question a lot of single Christians are quietly asking — am I supposed to be spending this season preparing for marriage, or is that missing the point entirely? JP, Kathy, and Nate unpack what it actually looks like to embrace singleness as a daughter of God rather than just a waiting room for a relationship. If you're single and trying to figure out what this season is for, this one's for you!
