Verse: John 4:22–23 (ESV)
“You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know. …But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” -
On this episode of Happy Hour with Dr. T, I’m joined by Joshua Spatha—ordained minister, missionary, and scholar of anthropology and Old Testament studies—for a deep and timely conversation on faith, worship, and the spiritual confusion shaping our modern world.
Since 2006, Joshua has served full-time in global missions across the Middle East and Asia. With a background in missiology, history, and discipleship, his voice brings both academic insight and frontline ministry experience to some of today’s most pressing spiritual questions.
Together, we explore why Western culture, despite its worship of science, has become unanchored and incoherent, and why so many are leaving organized religion in search of deeper, more personal forms of spirituality.
Joshua offers refreshing clarity on topics like:
• Why worship is more about walking in truth than singing it
• What it means to practice uncomplicated communication with God
• How the sound of silence can reveal more than words
• The challenge of spiritual submission—and why we resist it
• Why faith is not blind, but rooted in empirical evidence
He also shares his thoughts on the collapse of Western societies, the secular-sacred divide, and how the Gospel was always meant to spread virally in a broken world.
This episode will challenge your assumptions—and stir your faith.
