The Analog Gospel with Jason Parrish

What's More Unbiblical: Your Marriage or Aliens? | Episode 15

Episode 15. Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa talk mutual submission, the marriage stats nobody wants to talk about, and a hard look at why everyone's suddenly comfortable with aliens but not with demons. Plus, why "unbiblical" might be the most overused word in Christian comment sections.

Stop Trying to Change the Bible. Just Say You Don't Want to Obey It. | Episode 14

Episode 14. Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa get into it in this one! The honest take on anger, why "nice Christian man" isn't a thing, what the Greek word "porneia" actually means, and why every academic gymnastic move trying to soften scripture eventually lands in the same place: I just don't want to obey it. Plus — comfort and pleasure as gods, social media as a non-need, and why Solomon couldn't keep his pants on.

Toxic Masculinity Doesn't Exist in Christianity | Episode 13

Episode 13. Pastor Jason Parrish is joined by Pastor Howie Smith and John Rowa -- and they went long. Two big conversations: what real repentance looks like (hint: it's not the same as saying sorry), and why the West keeps trying to build the Tower of Babel with better tools. Along the way: toxic masculinity, the Amish, Solzhenitsyn's commencement address at Harvard, why your marriage wasn't built to make you happy, and what actually needs to change if we want to rebuild anything worth having.

The Masters Had No Phones -- The Church Should Take Notes | Episode 12 (Updated Audio)

Episode 12. A dozen in. And somehow we ended up going from Paul's transformative encounter on the road to Damascus, to Gen Z flocking to Catholicism, to Rory McIlroy winning the Masters with zero phones in the crowd. It all connects — we promise. This week Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa unpack identity vs. identification, what repentance actually means, and why compassion and truth aren't opposites.

What Happens to People Who Never Hear About Jesus? | Episode 11

Fair warning: this one gets uncomfortable fast. Pastor Jason Parrish is joined by Pastor Howie Smith and John Rowa as the guys dig into what the Bible actually says about people who've never heard the gospel — plus the man in white appearing to Muslims in dreams, Penn & Teller on why Christians who don't evangelize are actually the cruel ones, and why universalism sounds compassionate but falls apart under scripture.
