Transcript

Hi. Hello. It’s Jojo. 

And I’m sorry. I gave the wrong impression. 

You see, I’ve been a faith podcast conosieir  for a while now, and as a Christian I’ve come to realize that I’m not that kind of Christian. 

What kind, you may ask?

Oh, you know- the flowery Bible-owning, coffee-drinking, devotion-instagramming, perfect running-in-a-field-of-flowers christian with answers for everything. 

My bible is brown, as is my skin. 

I can’t handle caffeine so I don’t drink coffee that often. 

I don’t instagram my devotionals. They usually happen in the early morning with eye crust and a hair bonnet on. Nothing cute to see. 

And I don’t have an answer for everything, though I might have a comeback. 

It’s not necessarily wrong to be that kind of Christian, but I’ve also noticed that in being exclusive to that impression, we often bar ourselves from being real people.  We won’t talk about injustice because it is controversial. We won't discuss mental health other than to produce a prescription pad of prayers and penitence. We have real questions that we are afraid to ask because, in our minds, we serve a weak God that is incapable of handling the questions posed by His creation. I don’t agree with that.

I believe humans are confused. And when faced with a god that is not, we become even moreso. We use evidence of His existence as proof to the opposite. And we see our brothers and sisters as enemies to be defeated rather than souls  just as hungry as we are in search of food that is plentiful, with more than enough to go around. 

And I want to talk about this, and where I see it. I want to be open about my own experiences, and have others share theirs. I want to talk about the battles and triumphs. The bad-beginnings, awkwards middles, interesting ends, and in some cases, the beauty that has risen from the ashes.

With that being said, I don’t want to make any promises. 

I won’t say that you’ll agree with my perspective or that of my guests. I don’t always agree with people I respect.

I won’t promise to be open about everything yet because i don’t know you, and therefore I can’t say that I completely trust you. 

I won’t promise to be anything other than honest. 

Because my faith is nothing if not honest.

So welcome to my podcast. Grab a seat. Stay awhile. 

And let’s be honest, together.
