Live Free with Josh Howerton - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Every episode is a blessing! Each Monday I do the same thing. I read the episode title and summary thinking it’s a topic that doesn’t really apply to me. Then I give it a listen and find myself hanging on every word. Each episode, Pastor Josh and the assembled company go really deep on the subject matter. The synergy between hosts and guest hosts is amazing and they all share their perspectives. While staying on topic, they take these tangents to explain a biblical truth or a helpful nugget about the Greek or Hebrew word used in God’s Word.
As an example: I never knew there was a biblical reason why men open doors for ladies. Pastor Josh explains it.

So thought provoking, applicable, and nurturing. Can’t wait for Mondays!

This is a truly awesome podcast. With a newborn and busy life I was finding it hard to find quiet time. As I was fasting from watching and listening to news outlets I replaced those things with this podcast. I have learned so much and love the insight and dots that they connect. I hope they continue forward.

Really enjoying the additional discussion and more info on things that “didn’t make it into the sermon.” I have to admit that it’s even entertaining without being annoying in a hipster-church-bro way. Personally, I’ve become a huge fan of Carlos. He brings a lot of depth and insight. And after his first sermon (or first sermon in English, at least), we need to hear more from him in the pulpit.

I have enjoyed this Deep Dive into Sunday Messages. Be sure to download the SHOW NOTES!! Even if you aren’t at service, this would be a great weekly listen on your podcast roll to get into the details of scripture. Great job, Lakepointe Church! Let’s Go!

i don’t understand how you can say “everybody is welcome here,” and “we want you here!” yet still make rude little jabs and remarks at people/groups you don’t support. josh literally said that god even loves “transgendered furries that (something) lesbian cats.” and then the whole church laughed. it’s not funny. imagine that being your first time at church and you are willing to give it a shot. however, when you go, the pastor makes a rude “joke” about a part of your identity and the room full of hundreds of people laugh. it feels like hundreds of people are laughing at YOU. do you think they want to come back after that? NO. and the blatant sexism is insane. the saying, “your wife can be a cap or cannon for her husband,” is just insensitive. i’m not your personal cheerleader. who’s going to be my cap or cannon? and saying that all women are inherently manipulative, and even refusing to have sex after an argument, counts as manipulation is absolutely insane. saying that refusing sex after an argument is manipulation, is also manipulation in itself. if somebody doesn’t give consent, that’s it. end of story. who wants to be intimate after an argument? also, talking about how “jesus would vote” isn’t okay. it’s literally politics disguised as religion, and is so manipulative. it’s also obvious who josh is voting for. he’s said something about being invited by trump to something, during a podcast episode. overall, this whole church has a victim mindset and talks about how “it’s not cool to be a christian nowadays,” but as somebody who used to be christian, and now isn’t (partially due to listening to this church’s messages), i’ll tell you it’s so much harder to NOT be Christian. christian’s aren’t oppressed. just because you don’t believe you should do something (like being transgender), doesn’t mean i shouldn’t be able to. stay in your own lane, please.
