Miracles Aren’t the Point. Faith Is.

Miracles aren’t really about healing. They’re about faith.

In this episode, Josh and Geoff talk about how God uses signs to shape hearts, build trust, and draw people closer to Him. They explore the reality of modern slavery and human trafficking, the way wealth and consumption create illusions of freedom, and how the Gospel of John is deeper than the ocean, an invitation to discover who we are in God’s story.

The conversation also turns to miracles as lessons rather than performances, hearing God with the heart instead of the brain, synchronicity that feel like fire, and the unexpected ways grief and loss can refine faith.

The Kingdom at Hand, Part II: Distance Healing and the Gift of Presence

In this continuation of their conversation on distance healing, hosts Josh and Geoff explore the mystery of prayer, presence, and God’s nearness. They reflect on how healing across distance is woven into the very fabric of faith—because every prayer is, in some sense, an act of trust beyond what we can see.

Through stories of personal experience, humor, and theological reflection from non-theologians, they wrestle with questions of discernment, pride, and what it means to receive grace rather than manufacture it.

The Kingdom at Hand, Part I: Distance Healing and the Gift of Presence

Josh and Geoff share stories about prayer in unexpected places: a simple blessing on an airplane, or a quiet prayer in a far-off land for someone in need that actually brings relief.

From Darkness to Light: Understanding Confusion and Faith

In this episode of Love for the Unseen God, Josh Thomas and Dr. Geoff Dugue talk candidly about what it means to walk through confusion, doubt, and disorientation while still grounding in faith. Drawing from their personal histories and spiritual turning points, they explore how moments of darkness often become invitations into deeper clarity.

Their conversation touches on somatic healing, the quiet distortions of shame and performance, and the way grace reorients us when we’ve tried too hard to “get it right.” They wrestle with how to interpret Scripture without weaponizing it, and why epistemic humility matters just as much in theology as it does in science.

Lessons of the Passion — Friendship and Spiritual Discovery

This second episode of Love for the Unseen God starts with the same intro as Episode 1—but don’t be fooled. What follows is a very different, deeply personal conversation that unfolded unexpectedly after the first recording wrapped.
Josh Thomas and Dr. Geoff Dugue continue their unfiltered exploration of faith, friendship, and spiritual awakening—this time leaning more into the lessons of the cross, the mystery of prayer, and what it means to walk with God when you don’t have it all figured out.
