The AfterYouth Podcast: Recent Episodes
AY Production
Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Our goal is to help you navigate life and live confidently for God.
We all have questions in life and in our walk with God. So many of us bottle them up and assume we weren’t meant to know the answer. No more!
Host Josh Kave discuss these very questions so that you can live your walk with God with incredible confidence! Josh can answer these questions because he has spent his entire life asking questions and those have led him to study and even earning a degree in Bible and Theology. Not only does he know the feeling of having questions, he loves helping people find answers!
This podcast and our social media platforms are all about you! Our goal is to build a community of young adults that can share what they are going through and be part of our conversation. And, if you have any questions we are always checking DMs and messages.
Have you ever felt like your prayers were bouncing off of the ceiling? It seems that all of us have faced moments like that. It can be incredibly discouraging and frustrating to keep praying under those circumstances. Yet, we keep on day after day. It’s a lie of the enemy that many of us, including myself, fall for.
There’s an incredible promise of God that we find throughout Scripture: God hears us! Rather than ignoring our prayers, God has actively turned His ear to us when we call out to Him. In the words of Charles Spurgeon, “Because God is the living God, he can hear. Because he is a loving God, he will hear. Because he is our covenant God, he has bound himself to hear us.” In this episode, Josh shares a powerful story of how God stops everything to hear us. If you truly listen and apply this story, it can change the way you pray.
This is the last episode of this season! We pray and hope that this season has been a blessing to your life and has helped you find hope in a hopeless world. We hope to hear from you as we get prepared for a new season coming soon!

Everyone of us have had friendships fade. A person comes into our lives for just a season, yet we look back on that relationship with such warmth and nostalgia. We might even give them a phone call to catch up. Sometimes it’s hard to look back on those lost friends because we believed at the time that we would be close for a long time. It feels like so much of life has that same feeling, nothing lasts forever.
Yet, there is a promise of God that tells a different story. Host, Josh Kave, shows that God has called us His friends. When you’re a friend of God it gives a whole different set of rights and privileges from being just servants. He has opened up a door of intimacy that was seriously uncommon in Bible times.
Our prayer is that this episode ministers to your life. If you’ve found yourself feeling alone or losing hope, be reminded that God has called you friend. He wants to be part of your life, even when you feel lonely.

Have you ever felt like you aren’t valuable? You end up comparing yourself to every person you see on social media. The perfect life portrayed in picture after picture and here you are, simply you. The enemy gets into your head saying how unattractive and unimportant you are. Even in this, there is hope!
Throughout Scripture there is verse after verse talking about how much God values you. Starting all the way back in Genesis, God says that He created man in His image. Now, each of us carry that image of God in us. No matter what you do, what you say, or how you live, you carry that image of God. Moreover, God loves you because you are His.
That’s something to be excited about! We are loved by the God of creation. Whenever you find yourself feeling low, that you should bring you back up. Throughout today’s episode, Josh shares stories about how God sees you as valuable. You don’t want to miss it!

When you face trouble what do you do? Where do you turn? Frequently, we become problem solvers. We search for the best solution we can find and that works for a lot of issues. One of the worst feelings, though, is whenever you see no way out. There is a sinking feeling in your chest and your stomach drops as you’re left directionless. Yet, in those moments, there is hope.
There are two passages from the Bible that we talk about in today’s episode. Each carries a promise from God and can impact your life right now. You don’t want to miss Josh explain each as he shares from his personal experience on how God has worked in His life. These promises, like others we’ll talk about, help you to have hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

What does it mean to get a promise from God? Many of us have gone our whole lives without knowing for sure how to find or use a promise of God. Yet, there are over 700 of them throughout the Bible! It is certainly worth a conversation, because those promises can change your life.
A promise of God is as simple as it sounds. It’s a guarantee found in Scripture that God will do something. They’re valuable for our life because whenever we face problems and difficulties we can lean on those promises. We can know that God will uphold His end of the deal. Max Lucado says, “All are binding, for not only is God a promise maker; God is a promise keeper.”
Host, Josh Kave, shares how we can apply these promises in our lives. There are two authors that give metaphors for this application. However, both have very similar methods for how to use the Scripture. It boils down to four steps: Identify the problem, search the Scripture, circle the promises, and pray them. If you do these four steps, you can lean on those promises and trust that God is going to deliver on His end. When you trust in that, you can live in peace no matter the situation.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “why do we call Good Friday, good?” There was a trend on social media a few months ago that asked that question. It’s true that Jesus was betrayed, whipped, and killed that day. However, Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection is huge because it’s how we are able to be saved. It can also give us hope as we go through our daily lives here on earth.
There are three really difficult concepts to grasp: 1. Death, 2. Pain and suffering, 3. The concept of eternity. Josh talks through all three of these problems throughout this episode. Even more, he shows that because of what Jesus did on the cross and through His resurrection, we can have indescribable hope even in our world.
You don’t want to miss this episode! If you’ve faced doubt about God working in the world or struggled with difficult questions, it is for you! There is hope even in the challenges of death, pain, and eternity.

Have you ever found yourself wishing you could control the future? If you only knew what was going to happen, you could be prepared and have your family ready. Unfortunately, that’s not how the works. Instead, we watch the news, keep up with world events, and work to prepare for the unknown. We end up worrying and being concerned about the future and what COULD happen. I believe that the greatest worry we have is the unknown.
Do you remember what it was like to be a kid and have a nightmare in the middle of the night? After that, everything looked scary. The shadows, the tree outside of the window, the light under the closet, they all look a little different. You would climb out of your bed and walk all the way to your parents bedroom because you felt comfort with them. But why did you feel comfortable with them? Because, if anything bad happened, you knew they could take care of it. Nothing bad could happen with them there, it felt like they could control it.
In this episode, host, Josh Kave, talks about “The biggest worry and our greatest hope.” I believe our greatest worry is the unknown and not being able to control it. Our greatest hope, though, is in the sovereignty of God. Because God knows the future and is orchestrating the happenings in our world, we can be confident knowing that He has it under control. Don’t miss this discussion and allow the truth of who God is to renew your hope!

What you listen to will change what you do. There are studies that show what happens when people consume negative words over and over. It will alter your patience and your ability to deal with people. Even more, when we constantly consume negative news, it can mess with our mental health! It can cause incredible stress, anxiety, and even PTSD symptoms in some people. To put it plainly, we weren’t made to live like this.
There are always two reports that we can believe. We can choose to believe the report of this world. When negative news comes up, we can make the choice to worry and be afraid of what COULD happen. Or, we can believe the report of the Lord. The report God gives us is the promises throughout the Scripture that show us that He will take care of us.
In this episode of The AfterYouth Podcast, this is exactly what Josh is talking about. It is so important what you listen to. Today, choose to listen to the promises and the voice of God. He will take care of you!

Why do we worry? For many of us, there are a lot of different reasons we could be worried. Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking and wondering why I get so concerned. There’s times that the state of the world is overwhelming, the idea of caring and protecting for my own family is a little scary, and trying to make enough money to continually provide can be daunting. But why does all of that make us worry?
It has very little to do with the pressure of those things and it has everything to do with where we put our trust. When we get overwhelmed at the state of the world, we are putting our trust in the leaders that run the countries in the world. When we get scared of protecting family if something happens, we are putting our faith in our own ability to protect. And when we get worried about not being able to make or save enough money, we are putting too much trust in money. Your worry is completely attached to what you put your trust in.
In this episode, host, Josh Kave, talks about “The power of trust.” There are three important things that he will be looking at: 1. What makes us worried? 2. How to identify what you put your trust in. 3. What happens when you put your trust in God. This discussion, if you take it to heart, could change how you look at your world!

What is the most difficult thing to live without? In most cases, we would think of the normal examples like food, water, and shelter. Each of those items are vital to our physical survival. Without them we can only survive for a relatively short amount of time, depending on the conditions. Yet, they are not the most difficult things to live without.
Hope is the most necessary substance in humanity. Hope is what keeps each one of us from falling into a deep depression. For some, the lack of hope leaves them in a pit of despair that can even lead to suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, it seems to be a very challenging thing to come by in today’s world.
In this episode, host, Josh Kave, answers the question, “What is left to be hopeful about?” Spoiler alert! There’s a lot to be hopeful aboutIt is the first of a 10 episode season. Throughout this entire season, the conversation will be on hope: What keeps us from having hope, an explanation of who God is, and how to lean on His promises for the hope we need every day. While this is just the first episode, you do not want to miss the rest!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer questions so you can lose doubt and live confidently for God!
Have you ever had negative feelings toward another person? Of course you have! That person probably did you wrong and you can totally justify those feelings. But, have you ever wondered if it was really a grudge?
Through some research, our host, Josh Kave found that the definition of a grudge is a much lower bar than he would have guessed. If that's really the case, we really need to answer the question, am I holding a grudge?
Throughout their lives, Josh and his wife, Molli have both faced difficulties and had moments where they didn't wish the best on people that did them wrong. Through those experiences, they have ideas that they want to share that can help you face the difficult people and feelings that you're going through.

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer questions so you can lose doubt and live confidently for God! Today, hosts Josh and Molli Kave talk about the key to being successful.
We all want to be successful. Whether you want to run a multi-million dollar company or be a stay-at-home parent, we all want some level of achievement in our lives. The question is, how do we do it? How do we become successful?
God does care about whether you win or lose, He cares that you are fulfilled in your work, and He certainly cares if you have a roof over your head. Through prayer and study this week, Josh was reminded about one verse in the Bible that talks about success. This verse shows how to live your life in a way that God can bless and will help you be successful in all of the ways that are important to you!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer questions so that you can lose doubt and live confidently for God!
This week we are diving into habits! It is officially the new year and everybody is talking about their New Year's resolutions and how they are going to change their life in 2023. Habits do truly make us who we are, but sometimes it can be repetitive hearing the same self-help ideas every time the earth makes another trip around the sun.
We wanted to look at habits a little bit differently and answer the question, "What does the Bible say about habits?" Believe it or not, the Bible does not use the word "habit!" Even though it doesn't say it explicitly, it tells the life and story of incredible people who had habits that defined their life.
Hosts Josh and Molli Kave look at this question in depth and explore meaningful habits that won't just help you in 2023, they could change your whole life!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer the most challenging questions asked by every Christian young adult!
Have you ever found yourself so numb to the Christmas Story that it becomes just that, a story? Many of us gather with family every year to read the early chapters of Luke. It’s really easy to get caught up in the motions of the tradition. But, when was the last you thought about what the story means for your life? How does it impact you in the 21st century?
Josh and Molli believe that there are some aspects of the Christmas story that we overlook. Those ideas might just change how you read the story, how you pray, and it might just change your life.

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer the most challenging questions asked by every Christian young adult.
There have always been people telling me about how important it is to be a lifelong learner. They say, "Just keep learning and growing." I have wondered to myself, does it really matter? Will it make any difference in my life if I am a learner or not?
So I jumped into doing some research of my own. I found that some of the most incredible thinkers of all time were lifelong learners. They chose to continue to learn, grow, and develop so that they could be all that God had called them to be.
Today, I, Josh Kave, will give you 3 habits to help you become a lifelong learner and add it to your everyday life. I believe doing these things can help you develop and become the person God has called you to be!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer the most challenging questions asked by every Christian young adult!
One of the most difficult questions for Christians to answer is in regards to pain and suffering. Atheists and skeptics ask the question, if God is all good and all powerful, then why does God allow pain and suffering in the world? Why doesn't God do something about it?
There are many people that, when faced with this question, cower down and back away from the conversation. But, we at The AfterYouth Podcast, want you to be able to stand firm and explain the answer to some of the greatest challenges to Christianity.
Listen in to this episode as Josh explains the answer to this question!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! Where we answer the most challenging questions asked by every Christian young adult!
One of the concepts that we find so often in society today is subjective truth. Demi Lovato and other celebrities have come out and told people to follow "their own truth." How are we supposed to have any clue what truth is if every person can have their own?
In today's episode, host Josh Kave and his wife, Molli, discuss the truth. In particular, they want to show that there is a such thing as objective truth. Through stories and examples, they explain how this has to be the case. Even more, the Scriptures make truth claims that impact each of our lives!

Have you ever felt like you were one mistake away from God being done with you? You felt an underlying anxiety and worry that maybe you weren't truly right with God. You're saved, but you still worry. There are so many Christians that have felt that way! You are certainly not alone. Today, host Josh Kave discusses this question and talks about having to deal with guilt in his own life. Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast. Where we answer the most challenging questions asked by every Christian young adult. There are two types of guilt that we deal with. Healthy guilt comes when we do something that we shouldn't do and we feel bad for it. False guilt comes from insecurity and fear. One of the reasons that so many Christians struggle with false guilt is because they have not fully accepted the grace of God through Jesus. 52% of Christians believe in a works based method of attaining salvation. In itself, that would certainly cause anxiety! Josh explains the verse that helped him feel more confident in his relationship with God. And, he shares why we should still ask for forgiveness even if we are saved and not losing salvation. Thank you for tuning in! Don't miss out on our social media content!

Welcome to The AfterYouth Podcast! The podcast where we answer the most challenging questions that Christian young adults are asking. This week, Josh Kave is joined by Garrett Vess as they discuss going to church in person versus attending via livestream. There is a huge number of people that have moved away from attending church in person and have switched to either watching a livestream or church on TV. Why wouldn't they? It's so much easier to attend church online and be able to stay in your pajamas. That's what brought up this week's question. If it's so much easier to watch at home, why should we go to church in person? Josh shows throughout the Bible and in church history that there are some convincing reasons we should make the trek out to our local gathering. It also serves as a reminder that we should consider why we are going to church and if we look at it as a chore or a gift. Don't miss out on our social media content!
