Blood and Gore, Not no more.
Welcome to Fishbag
Dive into the Fishbag podcast, an authentic podcast from Barcelona that seeks to build genuine community and stir faith-driven discussions. Each episode is a mix of honest storytelling, local updates, and candid reflections, perfect for listeners searching for connection and encouragement wherever they are.
Missed Episodes and Technical Snafus
JP begins with a behind-the-scenes catch-up, sharing why past episodes went missing and the struggles with recording quality. Despite hiccups, Fishbag presses on, redefining success as creating resonance and belonging for listeners—especially those local to Barcelona’s evolving mission community.
Zombie Movies and Changing Perspectives
The heart of this episode centers on JP’s former obsession with zombie films—why chaotic scenarios pulled him in, and how classic titles like “28 Days Later” sparked a deeper curiosity. He explores the tension between the wild allure of pop culture and personal conviction, explaining how he decided to step away from zombie cinema out of respect for the value of the human body.
A Defining Spiritual Moment
JP recalls a pivotal experience at Y.W.A.M. Los Angeles, detailing a season of worship and spiritual focus where God prompted a realignment of values. He breaks down the contrast between common media narratives and Christian beliefs about the body, worth, and resurrection, illustrating how faith can influence even everyday entertainment choices.
Hard Lessons: Temptation and Growth
Listeners will hear JP’s honest account of wrestling with old habits and accepting lingering desires, illuminated by his conviction that authentic growth means letting God into daily decisions. The episode challenges each person to reflect on “gray areas,” inviting practical conversation with God rather than settling for surface-level spirituality.
Community News & Getting Involved
Things are shifting in Barcelona—the group is moving Fishbag gatherings from Thursday mornings to Monday nights, broadening access for deeper connection. JP invites listeners to schedule virtual or face-to-face chats and plug into the growing network of faith-inspired friends.
