Live Free with Josh Howerton

Which Bible translation should you actually trust, and are there some translations you should avoid altogether? 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How different Bible translations are created and why that matters

Which translations are best for reading, studying, and teaching

Why some translations weaken clarity and conviction

How Jesus used Scripture to defeat temptation

Why temptation itself is not sin, and how to recognize the real battle

The three predictable ways Satan tempts every person

How authority, dominion, and redemption fit into the biblical story

Why “It is written” is more than a phrase...it’s a strategy

Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton help you read the Bible with confidence, confront temptation with clarity, and see Scripture as one unified story, rather than a collection of disconnected verses.

Watch to the end; this will sharpen how you read the Bible and live it out.

In this LIVE FREE Episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham tackle two topics Christians are deeply confused about right now: baptism and the Minneapolis ICE shooting. They unpack how biblical discipleship shapes both belief and discernment. This episode will answer frequently "shouted" baptism questions: (Does baptism save you? Should you be re-baptized? What about infant baptism?), and explain what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. If you feel confused by culture's manufactured outrage and selective footage distorting the ICE shooting narrative, this episode will equip you to reflect before reacting, submit to God-ordained authority, and respond with wisdom instead of emotional manipulation.

Why are Venezuelans celebrating the collapse of socialism while American leaders are selling it as “compassion”? 

 

In this Live Free episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham pull the curtain back on Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism,” to expose the real-world cost of a socialist ideology. They contrast empty political promises with the only freedom that actually delivers, Jesus’ declaration from the cross, “It IS finished.” This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about power, control, false hope, and why Christians must think biblically when culture reframes broken ideas as virtue.

Is Jesus “progressive,” or is that a modern political remix of an ancient faith? In this LIVE FREE Bonus Episode, Pastor Josh Howerton respond to a viral Daily Show clip and unpack how Scripture is often twisted in election seasons to serve ideologies rather than truth. He breaks down progressive Christianity, expose common misuses of Matthew 25 and Romans 13, clarify the biblical roles of the family, church, and state, and explain why Christian compassion and government authority are not the same thing. If you’ve ever felt confused by political Bible talk, or want to be equipped to test every claim like the Bereans, this episode will sharpen your discernment fast.

This is a special State of the Podcast episode of LIVE FREE. What started as a simple experiment turned into something we never expected: millions of views, listeners from around the world, and real lives being changed through discipleship. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the growth, share the data behind what’s happening, explain the philosophy driving LIVE FREE, and talk honestly about why this is resonating, especially with men. We also unpack what’s coming next, including a new APP designed to move people from consuming content to living it out. This isn’t about views or virality. It’s about helping people think clearly, live faithfully, and walk free.
