Greetings, congregation! This week I get to introduce you to my new best friend, Raeph! Besides having a very envy-able name, Raeph is an amazing human. Raeph works as Alumni Coordinator for a local treatment center, and thrives on human connection. He also happens to be a massive nerd, and got me through my treatment stay and is a huge part of my recovery.

Greetings, Congregation! This week, Jed brings on new friend of the pod Jason Lyle from The Sacred Grit Podcast!

I'll let him explain it! music: Perfume by Unprocessed www.sacredgrit.com churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com www.popnerdstudios.myshopify.com patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings, congregation! It feels good to be back! For the inagural episode, I got my good buddy Matt Corley to come tell his story.

Greetings, Congregation! I totally screwed up an interview because i got the timezone wrong! But, instead of cowering in a corner, I muscled through and did another music episode! I'm an emotional wreck, so i share a few songs that have deep meaning, listen to them, add backround and commentary and maybe a little tears! Enjoy and can't wait to do another one of these. songs: God went North by Nothing More Jenny by Nothing More King Park by La Dispute A Prayer by Kings Kaleidoscope Two Ships by Oh, Sleeper To the Sun by Grandview www.patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com www.popnerdstudios.myshopify.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings, congregation! no fancy production on this one since i'm limited to a mobile rig for the moment...but you guys can handle that! This is another candid episode, recorded live from rehab.

Greetings, Congregation! First off-- Thank you guys SO MUCH for the outpouring of support, letters, comments, emails....you guys seriously showed up for me, and it's more touching than you could ever realize. Okay, now to the good stuff! This is another episode recorded LIVE from Rehab. Suki Jones has been an amazing friend of the pod, and friend of mine. She's been awesome helping me through this relapse. She also, though, has been going through a lot herself. She just went through a huge breakup and we thought it would be good to talk about how to navigate huge things like this and not relapse. music- Panic by Francis Doom www.popnerdstudios.myshopify.com www.patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs churchandotherdrugs@gmail.comi Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings, congregation! Those that subscribe to the patreon have heard this already (and you could too! patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs) but it's time for me to continue being honest and share with my listeners what happened. This episode was recorded live while i am at treatment. I got a chance to laugh and joke with my friends, during a time of great darkness. I want to make it clear that underneath it all is a sense of grave urgency. I have relapsed and caused considerable damage to myself, my family, and my friends. I am starting a new chapter of healing and repentance; of rebuilding and reunification. if any of you are struggling, please reach out. My hope is that as i get honest in episodes to come, my struggle will turn out to be your gain. I want to help people. I want to love people. Thank you everyone for the letters and emails of support. it means the world to me. if you would like to write to me while i am in treatment, you can send it to: jed payne 617 piat rd. youngsville, la 70592 www.patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs churchandotherdrugs@gmail.com www.popnerdstudios.myshopify.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings emogelicals! This week, for the 11th episode of our patreon bonus show, we decided to do something special. Josh brought on a special guest, none other than podcaster, theologian, and LOTR-nerd Tripp Fuller! Josh had Tripp listen to some Lorna Shore (Tripp hates screamy music) and then we discuss the decidedly emo lyrics and what they mean to him. Plus a long, long rant about Lord of the Rings. A great time was had by all. If you enjoyed it, please consider either joining the Patreon at www.patreon.com/churchandotherdrugs, or just purchasing this episode for as low as $1. We put a lot of hard work into these, and hope you enjoy them! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greetings, congregation! Or I guess i should start with asking if you have received the gospel? Oh, you have? Well...I don't believe you. Ok, I'm being cheeky but the boys talk about whether or not street preaching, tiktok christian influencing, and recording yourself spreading the gospel are good things or not. Jed definitely has...opinions. Andrew also tells a hilarious story that he most definitely was not supposed to tell, so , be cool. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
