  • Summary

  • Ask Fr. Josh is the podcast where I hear you out and do my best to help you navigate the tricky times in life when our Catholic Faith doesn’t give you an easy “fill-in-the blank” answer. On this show, we’ll listen to one another, problem solve together, and ultimately entrust everything to our Lord. If this is your first time tuning in, here’s how the show goes: Each episode, I'll address three to four of your questions. I’ll cover everything from Catholic teaching to moral dilemmas to relationship advice. I'm not perfect, and I can’t guarantee that my advice is going to make things easy, but I'll do my best to share what I've learned during my time as a priest, pastor, and friend.

A man of the world

I like that he doesn't sugar coat things to protect feelings, but he also doesn't ever set out to hurt anyone's feelings. He offers advice that you would expect from a loving but respectable relative.

Bonus: He randomly breaks into 90's songs and regularly forgets the words. It's a good way to break things up with a chuckle.

Informative! Honest! Encouraging!

I can't say enough about this wonderful and truley "called" servent of God! He is a good sharpered. What a breath of fresh air! Father Josh Johnson gives hope to those who may have decided they could never be good enough to become a saint. He explains in the most honest and down-to-Earth way, why there is hope in abundance, how to assess your day to day life, see what changes you need to make, how you need to make them, and why they are improtant. He also tells us what we're doing right and shows us why and how our actions inspire others.
I love this show!!!
Thank you Father Josh!
