“Welcome to Holy Smokes and Dad Jokes! I’m Jonathan Pate — pastor, hope dealer, and part-time professional dad joke distributor.
This podcast is all about faith in the real world — the messy, beautiful, sometimes chaotic world we actually live in. We’ll talk about hope when life feels heavy, truth when culture feels loud, and yes… I will absolutely drop a dad joke when you least expect it.
If you’re looking for encouragement, honesty, and a reason to smile, you’re in the right place."
