Your Voice Is Welcome Here: K-Pop Demon Hunters, Singing & the Word of God

Saison 2 · Épisode 23

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 32:22

What happens when music becomes a weapon?

In this episode of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like, Sarah Crowder and Andrew Jones return to K-Pop Demon Hunters to explore one of the film’s most powerful themes: the power of song.

From HUNTR/X using music to strengthen the Honmoon to the Saja Boys using catchy songs to draw people away, the movie reminds us that words matter. Music can carry truth, shape devotion, and lodge ideas deep in our hearts.

Sarah and Andy connect that theme to Scripture, from the trumpets of Jericho and Gideon to Paul’s description of the Word of God as the “sword of the Spirit.” They also explore the Psalms as songs, the early church’s practice of singing Scripture, and why Christians continue to gather together and sing.

But what if you are not a singer? What if singing in church makes you uncomfortable? The answer is not shame or performance. Your voice is welcome, and so is your listening. The power is not in how beautifully we sing, but in the Word God gives us.

The goal is simple: let the Gospel become sticky. Let God’s promises settle into your ears, your memory, and your heart so deeply that you carry them with you long after the music stops.

Plus, Andy introduces the big idea behind his three-book series on reading the Bible, resisting Satan’s lies, and learning to pray: a spirituality centered not on producing more for God, but on receiving what God gives.

Because the Christian life is not ultimately about our performance. It begins with receiving the gifts and promises of Jesus.

BONUS: What Is Receptive Spirituality? | Episode 23 Preview

vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:11

What ties together reading the Bible, resisting the lies of Satan, and learning to pray?

In this bonus preview of Episode 23, Sarah Crowder asks Andrew Jones to summarize the big idea behind his 10 Things trilogy: Ten Questions to Ask Every Time You Read the Bible, Ten Lies Satan Loves to Tell, and Ten Treasures of Learning to Pray.

Andy describes the thread running through all three books as receptive spirituality, a Christian life centered less on what we accomplish for God and more on receiving what God is already doing, giving, and speaking through His Word.

It is a short introduction to the conversation coming in Episode 23 of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like, and a preview of Andy’s upcoming visit with students at Faith Lutheran.

Who Covers Our Shame? KPop Demon Hunters & the Gospel

Saison 2 · Épisode 22

jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 33:00

What do we do with shame, especially when our instinct is to hide?

In this episode of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like, Sarah Crowder and Pastor Andy Jones return to KPop Demon Hunters to talk about Rumi, Jinu, guilt, shame, and the powerful movement from isolation into community.

Sarah and Andy explore the difference between guilt and shame, how culture shapes the way we experience honor and shame, and why Scripture gives us something better than simply trying to cover up the things we are afraid for others to see. From Psalm 32 to the robe of Christ’s righteousness, the Gospel gives a different kind of covering: Jesus forgives, restores, and promises that the evil and brokenness of this world will not have the final word.

They also talk about why shame often drives people into isolation, why trusted community matters, and the beautiful gift Christians can give one another by speaking Christ’s promises aloud: You are loved. You are forgiven. You are not alone.

Jesus Wept: KPop Demon Hunters, Grief & the Hope of New Creation

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 33:52

Welcome to Season 2 of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like! After a year of conversations about movies, music, theology, and grace, Sarah Crowder and Pastor Andy Jones are back with a big theme running through KPop Demon Hunters: grief.

From Rumi’s mother and her fear of losing her voice, to the grief of changing identities, broken relationships, death, and even the loss of a beloved pet, Sarah and Andy talk about why Christians don't have to hide sorrow or apologize for tears. Jesus wept, too.

And grief does not get the last word. Romans 8, John 3:16, and the biblical promise of new creation give us something much better than vague comfort: God loves His world, Christ has come to redeem it, and creation itself waits for restoration.

So what does the Gospel sound like when you're grieving? It sounds like permission to mourn, people who will sit beside you, and the promise that Jesus is making all things new.

Sussie the Magpie | Birds, the Holy Spirit, and What the Gospel Sounds Like

Saison 1 · Épisode 21

jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 28:26

August 20 is the Release Date of Andrew Jones' Book! Get it today! Search "10 Treasures of Learning to Pray."

This episode begins with one of K-Pop Demon Hunters’ most underrated characters: Sussie the three-eyed magpie. Teacher Sarah Crowder and Pastor and Author Andy Jones explore Sussie’s place alongside Derpy, the Korean folklore behind the tiger and magpie, and a fascinating folktale that might even give us a clue about where Rumi and Jinu’s story could go next.

Then the birds lead somewhere unexpected.

From the dove at Jesus’ baptism to God gathering His people under His wings, from eagles carrying God’s people to freedom to Jesus reminding us that our Father cares even for the sparrows, Scripture is full of birds. Sarah and Andy consider how these images point us toward God’s protection, provision, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus promises will not leave us alone.

And maybe that is why morning birdsong feels so hopeful. In the darkness, a song begins. A new day is coming.

So the next time you see Sussie, a sparrow outside your window, or hear birds singing before sunrise, perhaps you can remember: Christ has not left you alone. You are cared for. You are gathered under His wings. And the Spirit is still at work, pointing you again to Jesus.

That’s what the Gospel sounds like.

KPop Demon Hunters Healer Han vs the Great Physician: The Doctor will SEE you now

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

mercredi 12 août 2026 • Durée 30:05

In this episode of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like, teacher Sarah Crowder and pastor Andy Jones take a closer look at one of KPop Demon Hunters’ smallest but surprisingly insightful characters: Healer Han, also known as the “quack doctor.”

When Rumi comes to him desperate to fix her voice, Dr. Han notices something deeper than a vocal problem. She has “so many walls.” That observation opens up a bigger conversation about shame, vulnerability, healing, and what it means to be truly seen.

Sarah and Andy connect Rumi’s story with Jesus’ encounters in Scripture, including the rich young man, Peter, Hagar and the God who sees her, and the beautiful Gospel truth that Jesus does not merely diagnose what is wrong with us. He comes near, tears down the walls separating us from God, and gives us Himself.

They also talk about the difference between being looked at in judgment and being looked at in love, why grace frees us from constantly wondering whether we have “done enough,” and how relationships become part of Rumi’s healing.

Plus, Andy shares about his brand-new book, Ten Treasures of Learning to Pray, the third book in his trilogy following Ten Questions to Ask Every Time You Read the Bible and Ten Lies Satan Loves to Tell.

If you have ever wondered whether God really sees you behind the walls, scars, fear, and shame, this episode is for you.

In this episode:
• Is Healer Han actually a quack?
• Why does Rumi lose her voice?
• Rumi’s walls and the fear of vulnerability
• Jesus and the rich young man
• “The God who sees me”
• Law, Gospel, and the difference between judgment and love
• Why we cannot earn our salvation
• Jesus breaking down the walls between God and His people
• Andy Jones’ new book, Ten Treasures of Learning to Pray

This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like is a podcast about KPop Demon Hunters, theology, culture, and the places where this story gives us handles for talking about the good news of Jesus.

Full Episode! Ep. 15: Soda Pop | Idols, Addiction, and the Gospel in K-Pop Demon Hunters

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 36:15

In this episode of This Is What the Gospel Sounds Like, teacher Sarah Crowder and pastor Andy Jones dive into “Soda Pop” from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

At first, it sounds like a fun, catchy summer song. But underneath the surface, something darker is happening.

What does it mean when something sweet slowly becomes consuming?Why do the Saja Boys only take and never give?And how does this connect to the Bible’s warnings about temptation, addiction, and idols that never satisfy?

Together, we explore how “Soda Pop” echoes Proverbs 5, where what seems sweet can lead to destruction. We also contrast this with the true sweetness of the Gospel through the story of Thomas Bilney and the promise that Christ gives rather than takes.

This episode is about more than a song. It is about the difference between idols that drain you and a Savior who gives Himself for you.

If you’ve ever felt pulled in by something that promised life but left you empty, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Topics include:K-Pop Demon Hunters analysisSoda Pop lyrics explainedProverbs 5 and modern temptationAddiction, idols, and identityThe sweetness of the Gospel
