An Almost Perfect Podcast

Faith, Blisters, & Walking It Out

April 22, 2026 john

We talk a lot in church about “the journey.” Wade decided to actually take one.

This week, we sit down with Jeana Martin—counselor, spiritual director, and pilgrimage guide—to talk about what happens when faith gets out of your head and into your body.

Along the way, we talk about:

– Why people go on pilgrimage – What walking does to your soul – The difference between talking about growth and actually living it – How trauma, faith, and the body are more connected than we think

Why doesn’t anyone remember church announcements? In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Banda to talk about the real problem with church communication, and it’s not what you think. From bulletins to social media, we explore why information alone doesn’t stick, and how storytelling can completely change the way people engage with your church.

We also talk about:

Why authenticity matters more than production quality
How to tell stories in everyday moments
What people actually remember (and why)
