Forged

Today’s guest, Josh Boettcher shares his journey growing up in chaos, from having demonic visitations, living in a psychiatric hospital, to the moment of absolute freedom.  How do you balance a life that moves from one extreme to another What does it truly mean to be repentant, and what are the pitfalls that “professional” Christian’s get trapped in?

This week’s episode is with Daniel Nemetchuk - he’s a mountain biker, 18–24 hour events kind of guy (yeah… wild), and now a husband, dad, business owner, who also studies and teaches Christian apologetics. We talk about everything from brutal race stories and that “push-past-the-pain” mindset, to how priorities shift when marriage and family come into the picture. We also share why risk-taking is essential for the growth of boys and men (not just on a bike), how he got into apologetics, and why defining truth actually matters, especially in the day-to-day stuff most people overlook. It’s a mix of raw stories, honest reflections, and a few deep dives that might make you rethink how you're living, leading, and showing up in your world.
