(Re)thinking Faith podcast

I started podcasting in October of 2018. I have had the privilege of interviewing leading scholars in the fields of Bible, Theology, Philosophy, and Psychology. (Re)thinking Faith provides a safe and welcoming space to ask life’s biggest questions.

Sometimes I publish things…

I enjoy writing but ADHD doesn’t always make writing easy. I have contributed chapters to a few different publications and might even be working on my own book project… who knows! I hope you find my writing to be helpful on your own journey of becoming. Thanks for checking it out!

kind people who say nice things

  • Joshua Patterson explores the most important questions of our day, and this means his podcast episodes are wide-ranging and eclectic. That approach suits me well, which is one reason I'm a frequent listener and occasional guest!

    Dr. Thomas Jay Oord
    Professor of Theology
    Northwind Theological Seminary

  • "Josh is one of the rare curious souls who takes the time to read, metabolize, then ask hard questions, often pushing against the dominant narrative. Because of this, I have entrusted Josh and his podcast to help be a vehicle for my quiet revolution of togetherness. When you listen and are curious, you will learn what I mean about the meaningful work that Josh produces!"

    Rev. Roberto Che Espinoza, PhD
    Visiting Professor
    Duke Divinity School

  • “Josh doesn’t only ask brilliant questions when we meet on his podcast and in person. As a discussion partner, he’s stretched my thinking and pushed me to formulate a more radical Christian theology for a world in crisis."

    Dr. Philip Clayton
    Ingraham Professor
    Claremont School of Theology

  • “The (Re)thinking Faith Podcast (namely, Josh Patterson) embodies three of my favorite things: courtesy, cosmology, and God. Have a listen and be enlightened."

    Dr. Andrew M. Davis
    Program Director
    Center for Process Studies

  • "I have been listening to Josh for years. I don’t often enjoy where the conversations go, but I keep listening. I have a PhD in Biblical Studies and have been a pastor and professor for decades but I learn something from Josh every week. He is truly helping me (re)think my faith. He is a perpetual learner and while he is to my left, I can’t help but be attracted to his genuine desire to get the most from his guests for the good of all of us."

    Rev. Dr. Jace Broadhurst
    Bible Scholar & Pastor

  • “Josh Patterson is doing the kind of work that the world needs. Challenging complacency in both faith and social life, Patterson calls us all, whether religious or not, to be better thinkers and human beings.”
