Ask Fr. Josh
“What’s up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast where I get to listen to your questions, pray with them and hopefully respond in such a way that is helpful for you in your walk towards eternity and becoming a saint! Each episode, I’ll address three to four of your questions dealing with morality, spirituality, relationships, evangelization, catechesis, scripture and more! I'm not perfect, and I can’t guarantee that my advice is going to be perfect or make things easy, but I'll do my best as a priest and friend to guide you.”
—Fr. Josh Johnson
