Get a little Awkward. Is it possible to be cool and do christian stuff?

Let's talk about those goofy christians.Hey Fish Baggers! 🐟🛍️ Welcome back to another wild and wonderfully awkward episode of the Fish Bag Podcast with your host, J.P! Whether you’re tuning in from your living room, your workplace, or the bustling streets of Barcelona, this episode is all about embracing the awkwardness that comes with living out your faith and making an impact right where you are.This week, J.P. takes us deep into the heart of Barcelona’s iconic skate scene, sharing stories straight from the legendary MACBA plaza-a place known for its world-class skateboarding, wild nights, and, yes, some truly unpredictable moments. But what happens when a group of skaters decides to break the mold and gather for prayer right in the middle of it all? J.P. opens up about the vulnerability and self-consciousness that comes with sitting down to pray at MACBA, and how, even after four years of doing it, it still feels a little awkward. But as he reminds us, sometimes the most meaningful things in life require us to step out of our comfort zones-even if it means looking a little weird to the world around us.From the DIY spirit of building skateparks at Picnic, to the humble act of sweeping puddles so everyone can skate, J.P. draws powerful parallels between the “awkward” work of ministry and the gritty, hands-on work of shaping a skate spot. Both require vision, persistence, and a willingness to look foolish for something greater than yourself. Through stories of Jesus’ own willingness to break social norms-from talking with the Samaritan woman at the well to enduring the ultimate humiliation on the cross-J.P. challenges all Fish Baggers to get a little awkward for the sake of the Kingdom.This episode is a heartfelt encouragement to anyone who’s ever felt out of place or unsure about stepping out in faith. J.P. reminds us that you don’t have to be “cool” or accepted by everyone to make a difference. Sometimes, the most powerful moments come when we’re willing to be vulnerable, to invite others in, and to pursue the vision God has placed on our hearts-even if it means sweeping puddles or praying in public.So grab your headphones, dive in, and let’s get fishy and squishy together!
