They discuss the pressures of growing up, the value of failure, the importance of relationships, and how perspective changes with age. Along the way, they share advice they wish they had heard earlier, stories that still make them laugh, and experiences that revealed God's faithfulness even when they couldn't see it at the time. Whether you're looking back on your own journey or currently navigating a season of growth, this episode is a reminder that God can use every chapter of our story: the good, the bad, and even the ugly, for something greater.

Everybody wants the breakthrough moment, but nobody talks about the quiet work it takes to get there. In this episode, Chris and Josh dive into the unseen side of growth. The repetition, discipline, and consistency that happen long before results ever show up publicly. From building habits without immediate reward to creating without constant validation, they unpack what it means to keep showing up even when progress feels invisible. The conversation explores comparison culture, the pressure of social media highlight reels, and the challenge of staying faithful in seasons that feel slow, quiet, or unnoticed. Together, they reflect on the importance of small disciplines, private growth, and learning to trust the process before the payoff. This episode is a reminder that real growth usually isn’t loud or glamorous. Sometimes the most important work in your life happens when nobody’s watching and no applause is required.

Everybody talks about growth. Getting disciplined, improving yourself, and chasing goals. But, nobody really talks about what you have to let go of to actually grow. In this episode, Chris and Josh have an honest conversation about the things they’re learning to say no to in this season of life: comparison, people-pleasing, distractions, hustle culture, and old versions of themselves that no longer align with who they want to become. They talk about the pressure to keep up, the burnout that comes from always being available, and how constant noise and distraction can pull us away from peace, purpose, and even God’s direction for our lives. This episode is real, reflective, and vulnerable. It's centered around the idea that growth always costs something. Sometimes the biggest step forward isn’t adding more to your life, but finally releasing what’s been weighing you down. Welcome back to Raised on Faith.

In this episode of Raised on Faith, Chris and Josh have an honest conversation about perfectionism, comparison, waiting seasons, and the pressure we put on ourselves to always “have it together.” What started as a discussion about a missed workout quickly turned into a deeper conversation about grace, pride, friendship, and learning how to trust God when life feels messy. The guys share personal stories about struggling with expectations, feeling like failures, battling comparison through social media, and learning how important it is to have people who are willing to “sit in the mud” with you instead of trying to immediately fix everything. They also open up about deeply personal seasons in their lives, including infertility, parenting through uncertainty, and walking through situations where the answers simply don’t come quickly. Throughout the episode, Chris and Josh reflect on how God uses difficult seasons to grow our faith, strengthen relationships, and teach us dependence on Him. They encourage listeners to lean into community, give themselves grace, and trust that even when life feels uncertain, God is still working behind the scenes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, exhausted, or stuck in a waiting season, this conversation is for you.
