Brask to the Basics | Johnny Brask | Episode #302
The BeatiDudes
Johnny Brask, co-founder of Verso Jobs, is back at the Tiny Table with the BeatiDudes for a wildly honest, surprisingly tender conversation about reversion, repentance, and the strange way God uses real-life friendships to lead us home. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein dig into Johnny’s story that includes a literal “shed life” chapter, a faith detour through evangelical circles, and a growing hunger for something painfully simple and real: confession and the Eucharist. Johnny shares how his dad’s sobriety through the 12 steps became a turning point in his own spiritual awakening, and how his curiosity shifted from “spiritual but messy” to “Christ is Lord and I need mercy.” Along the way: Saint Augustine moments, apologetics rabbit holes, awkward barriers against Catholicism he could not explain, and a pivotal retreat in northern Minnesota featuring the most BeatiDudes combo ever: woods, sauna, river, guns, and a Catholic guy with an Ignatius Press Bible who actually lived the faith. The result is a beautiful reminder that God plays the long game, and that coming home is often a process.
