Do you have to go to church to be a Christian?

It’s one of the most common questions people ask — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of Concrete Theology, we talk honestly about church, salvation, and why so many people today feel disconnected from church altogether. We share our own experiences growing up in church, stepping away at times, and rediscovering what church was always meant to be: not a building, but a people.

We explore the tension between salvation and discipleship, why community matters, and why being saved isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting line.

We also introduce a new segment called Concrete Foundations, where we break down the basics of faith. This week, we answer the question: What is salvation?

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life, walked away, or are just curious about faith, this conversation is for you.

Also, full transparency: we recorded this at 9:30pm while running on very little sleep — so welcome to real-life theology.

Can you question God and still believe? In this first episode of Concrete Theology, Josh & Ky explore honest faith, real questions, and everyday discipleship. One of us is a pastor, one works in concrete, and together we talk about what it means to build a relationship with Jesus that lasts.

In this episode, we look at doubt. We will discuss biblical examples of questioning faith, and why doubt doesn’t disqualify you from following Jesus. If you’ve ever felt afraid to ask hard questions in church or wondered whether doubt and faith can coexist, this conversation is for you.

Concrete Theology is a podcast where we talk about the questions you are scared to ask, the doubts you aren't supposed to have, and the faith that still shows us in between.
