Gospel Gothic isn’t your grandmother’s religious radio. Close the Baptist hymnal and the Book of Common Prayer. On Gospel Gothic, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Johnny Cash match metaphors and make meaning. The show is rooted in the Creek in Macon, Georgia, and hosted by a real-life Baptist minister who knows both the redemption and ruin of southern religion. Jake pastored Baptist congregations in the South for over 20 years and now finds the most vibrant sacred spaces beyond the stained glass, where the center aisle leads outside the church walls and into the wild.
