When I Heard This - Episode 32 - The Title is Supposed to be Predetermination: Part One

Still Trying to Date the “Christian Way”? You’re Not Alone.

In Episode 145 – Still Figuring Out the “Christian Way” to Date, Nate and Pastor Joseph dive back into the chaos of Christian dating and courtship with brutal honesty, plenty of sarcasm, and the kind of real-talk the church usually avoids.

This episode takes on big, uncomfortable questions:
👉 Is sex before marriage always wrong, even for adults?
👉 What’s it like to date as a Christian when you already have kids?
👉 Should Christians even date non-Christians?
👉 Why does the church stop talking about dating once you’re out of youth group?

If you’ve ever felt like the church’s dating advice doesn’t quite fit your stage of life—or if you’re just tired of trying to decode what “equally yoked” actually means—this episode is for you. Nate and Pastor Joseph bring their signature mix of humor, faith, and cultural commentary to a conversation that’s way overdue.

Episode 145 - Still Figuring Out the “Christian Way” to Date

We survived Christian dating… but just barely. 😅

In Episode 146 - We Survived Christian Dating - Barely, Nate and Pastor Joseph wrap up the series on dating and courtship through a Christian lens—this time unpacking what happens when purity culture, adult responsibilities, and overinvolved parents all crash into each other like a bad youth group mixer.

This episode dives into real, raw, and slightly ridiculous questions like:
– Is modern Christian dating culture helping or hurting?
– Are the standards placed on singles even biblical… or just exhausting?
– Why are some parents and pastors more into your dating life than you are?

It’s the kind of honest conversation the church rarely has but desperately needs. If you’ve ever cringed at church relationship advice, felt judged for being single over 30, or just want to laugh at how wild this all sounds when you say it out loud—press play.

Episode 149 - Mission Trips: Blessings, Bugs, and Burnout

Are mission trips changing lives—or just locations? ✈️🌍

In this final part of our two-episode dive into Christian mission trips, Nate and Pastor Joseph ask the uncomfortable question: When does “doing good” turn into religious tourism?

This episode is part reflection, part roast, and totally honest. Whether you’ve been on 10 trips, fundraised for one, or just wondered why your church is always flying out when there’s work to be done down the street… we’re talking about it.

🎙️ Episode 150 – From Worthwhile to Christian Tourism explores the real motivations behind mission trips, the difference between genuine service and Instagram optics, and why the term “called to go” sometimes sounds a lot like “called to take PTO.”

Episode 150 – Mission Trips: From Worthwhile to Christian Tourism

🥴 Is it spiritual… or just skipping lunch?

In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph break down fasting—not the cute, curated version, but the real, biblical one. From juice cleanses disguised as devotionals to guilt-fueled church fasts, they tackle the confusion, comedy, and convictions around how modern Christians view this ancient practice.

Whether you’ve fasted out of faith, peer pressure, or forgot to eat… this episode unpacks what Jesus actually meant—and what we’ve made it mean.

With their signature wit and unfiltered honesty, the guys cover:
	•	What fasting isn’t (spoiler: a diet plan)
	•	Why “just pray more” isn’t the answer
	•	The tension between spiritual discipline and burnout
	•	And the hilarious, awkward pressure of public fasts

This is not your average sermon recap. It’s the convo we all wish our small group would have—smart, sarcastic, and deeply honest.

Episode 151 – Fasting: What It Is… and What It Definitely Isn’t

Is the church evolving… or just slowly fading out?

In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways secularism is reshaping the American church—from cultural Christianity and cringey compromises to the real reasons people are walking away. With their usual balance of sarcasm, insight, and honesty, the duo dives into what happens when tradition clashes with a society moving further from faith.

Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or just spectating, this convo will make you think (and probably laugh). Is secularism the villain… or the mirror?

Episode 152 – Losing Our Religion: How Secularism Is Shaping the American Church

What happens when political influence meets national tragedy?
In this In the Headlines episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph weigh in on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — and what it means for American culture, Christian politics, and the ever-blurring lines between pulpit, platform, and protest. They dive into faith, media, and the raw tension of leadership in a divided nation, with their signature wit and unfiltered honesty.

This one’s part analysis, part commentary, part wait… did they just say that?

What happens when a comedian asks a pastor whatever he wants?? 😮

In the "When I Heard This" podcast, comedian Nate Robinsoff asks Pastor Joseph Tillman, M.Div. whatever questions he can think of about church in America, the Bible, Christianity, cults, sex, and well really anything! He doesn't hold much back 🤣.
