Pastor With No Answers: The MIXTAPE Era

EP51 - WWTD (What Will Trump Do): Post Election Talky-Talk Nov 19, 2024

[This Episode's crew: Stoy Prioleau, Joey Svendsen, Ellen Mauro, Hayne Griffin]
Stoy and Joey have lost all hope in the government, not voting for any presidential candidate, Hayne and Ellen didn't get the results they wanted, it affected Ellen deeply. Joey feels guilty about his emotional-less relationship with politics, recognizing his privilege likely plays a part in this. Ellen is frustrated with compassionate people who don't vote, like Joey and Stoy and fears the worst with this second Trump presidency. Hayne doesn't think the extant of Ellen's fears are warranted and Stoy doesn't understand why Ellen has any hope in the system, in the first place.
Joey asks Ellen how she'd have reacted if one of the guys voted for Trump, Ellen has plans of starting a "white women only" group, hoping to rally "her kind" (not her words) to be proactive in fighting against the racism and misogyny she believes Trump voters have turned a blind eye to. The four also discuss the nuance of good people being on both sides of the political aisle.

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]
Part 1 can be listened to or viewed on YouTube.
Joey shares how his "pure lifestyle" was celebrated amongst parents of other kids in youth group while inside, he felt overburdened by a never- ending, dark spiritual season, years on end. Jon wants to know what Joey actually cherishes from the old youth group days, Billy concurs that the guilt was excessive but the relationships were so dear to him, also traveled from Chicago last year just to be at the reunion. Gail reflects back on what she describes as having had a feeling of unworthiness, especially when she was around the other Christians who appeared to have "their stuff" together.

EP49- "Firefighter Hayne" (Part 2): God, Suffering, Natural Disasters Oct 29, 2024

[Produced by Stoy Prioleau, with Hayne, Stoy, Amy and Joey]
On Part 1 of this conversation, "Firefighter Hayne, Doing the Lord's Work in Ravaged North Carolina," listeners heard stories of Helene's destruction in Western North Carolina through the personal story of our firefighting friend, Hayne Griffin, recounting that dreadful night that took his whole community by surprise. As the conversation carried on during the recording, the hosts got into some theology about God and prayer, in the context of natural disasters. This "part 2" captures that deeper layer of discussion including Joey's lack of faith in praying for storms to turn away and the nuance of reframing "natural disasters" as simply "nature." and how things are.

EP48 - Chip Judd, Mental Health + Mission of the Church Oct 25, 2024

[Produced by Joey Svendsen, this episode is a collection of clips from a recent Seacoast Church Podcast, link to full episode RIGHT HERE].
Regular to the PWNA Podcast through the years, here's an update on our good friend and Pastor, Chip Judd's physical health, as well as some talk (from the Seacoast Podcast) on how the church has dropped the ball in many ways on truly helping people change for the better, due to its rejection of science and cold shoulder through the years to the professional mental health community. Chip is embarrassed by the church but is motivated to help bridge some gaps. The conversation closes out with a discussion on whether Jesus wants us to be happy.

EP47 - "Firefighter Hayne" (Part I): Doing the Lord's Work in Ravaged North Carolina Oct 15, 2024

[Honoring our brother, Hayne Griffin, who's been doing the Lord's work, with Hayne, Stoy, Amy and Joey]
During the night of the 26th of September, Hurricane Helene took western North Carolina by storm, pun intended. What would follow is complete devastation of houses, businesses, electricity, dependable water supply, roads, and human life. Hear Hayne's story of that night on duty as a firefighter, 16 years experience in his field, as he went to bed anticipating a busy night. He just never in his wildest dreams could have imagined.
Amy, Joey and Stoy sit with Hayne to hear his story, check in on their pal who's carrying a lot right now. They ask clarifying questions to get a clear sense of the current conditions and together reflect on societal observations, including the difference between "people being irresponsible in dangerous situations" and "people simply uneducated and/or lacking the resources to stay safe." Hayne and his family are in the middle of processing the horror and beauty all around them. Special thanks to Hayne, rescue workers and volunteers who help keep us safe. Even when we're dumb.
The conversation wraps on some theology about God and prayer, in the context of natural disasters. But we hit the pause button before we got too far down that road, as we're saving that portion for a part II. We wanted Hayne's story to stand on its own two, on this one.

EP46 - Reconnecting With the Old Youth Group Crew. Still Got Faith, Anyone? Oct 09, 2024

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]
you can watch this conversation on YouTube here.
Joey joins three old friends from the old youth group, all but one are still Christians but you'll never guess; all four contributors have changed much. Joey shares with his friends on this episode that, due to his current beliefs, the old church family, or at least many of them, would probably have a hard time believing that Joey is still a Christian. Billy, or shall we call him "Youth Group Superman," was surprised to hear how highly revered he was by his peers back in the day. Gail has a child who is a trans person and admittedly was ready to pounce as a mother bear, in the event of possible conversation that's derogatory to the LGBTQ community. Jon definitely still swears as an adult but shares how as a youngster, he didn't truly understand -- or walk out -- Jesus' command to love others.
Talking about our experiences as kids together, for the first time as adults.

EP45 - Could Some of These Televangelists Be Demon-Possessed? Oct 01, 2024

[This episode, produced by Joey Svendsen, has Ellen Mauro, Jed Payne, Joey Svendsen, and special guest and original host to the show, Jared Svendsen]
Televangelists like Kenneth Copeland's behavior don't appear reflective of God by any means, and it certainly seems as if people are being led astray by the sort of prosperity gospel teaching he espouses. However, there seems to be more to Mr. Copeland's story and it's difficult ruling out just plain 'ol evil. Thus, Ellen, Jed, Jared and Joey do not.
The four also get an update from their good friend and co-host of the show, Hayne Griffen, a firefighter in Asheville NC smack dab in the middle of search and recovery, trying to help put the pieces of his community back together.
Lastly, Ellen finally gets to push back on the pushback she has received thus far to her plans to visit a medium to investigate talking to the dead.

EP44 - A "PWNA Time Machine," Eight Years Ago Before Donald Trump was Elected as President Sep 24, 2024

This episode was originally recorded in July of 2016, shortly after Donald Trump became the Republican Party's presidential candidate. Little did we know at the time of this conversation, that in 5 short months, he would be the next president of the United States of America.
[show-notes from episode 40] We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin about how Trump pulled off the miracle of being a frontrunner in the presidential race, we discussed his chances at winning, and what major changes are in store for America with a Trump presidency. Is he trustworthy? Could he bring a deconstruction to the ineffective politics we all have trouble believing in? Is the potential value of a Trump presidency worth the risk that comes from having a loose canon in the Oval office? Our guests have some strong opinions on all these matters.

EP43 - Grand Theft Auto and Calling Women "Karens" Sep 18, 2024

[This episode with Amy Alderman, Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen was produced by Joey Svendsen]
The host crew talk morals and parenting in the context of "Grand Theft Auto," a video game not allowed in the Svendsen household, in which the player goes around society committing egregious crimes for pure entertainment. Joey explains his disdain for the "Karen" label and believes it exposes some of the deeper roots of what's wrong with the current "judgmental state" of today's society. Lastly, the four discuss the deeper heart mechanics in communicating serious matters with people of opposing views and how patience and grace should be afforded to those who may not intend harm, taking into consideration their unknown backstories, difficult life-circumstances and/or harmful childhood upbringings.

EP42 - Depressing Journal Entries & Trying to Stop Your Friend From Being a Witch Sep 10, 2024

[This episode is produced by Joey Svendsen, having contributions from Ellen Mauro, Robbie Madison, Amy Alderman, Joey Svendsen, Jared Svendsen, Stoy Prioleau, and Michael Sweet, courtesy of Seacoast Podcast]
Check out Robbie's single "Lost My Best Friend" / Spotify / Apple
A lot is on the table for this one. From a discussion on the rapid transition of the 1980s glam metal scene, to a complete Seattle Grunge-takeover in the early 1990s, to a reading of journal entries about my (Joey) mental health crisis, this time 5 years ago. Listeners are also treated by hearing clips of the brand new single by our very own Robbie Madison called "I Lost My Friend," this song partly inspired by seeing his friend Joey (me) Svendsen walk through that very same mental health crisis 5 years ago.
Lastly, Joey talks to Amy and his brother Jared about Ellen's interest in talking to a medium. Amy and Jared have stern warnings, encouraging her to abort this plan.

How to Be a Sports Fanatic and Not Want to Die Every Time Your Team Loses Sep 04, 2024

[This episode is with hosts Stoy Prioleau, Joey Svendsen and "fam" to the show, Heather Zastrocky & Dick Alderman. Produced by Joey Svendsen]
Joey is all "grandpa softy" on this one, wanting everyone to learn how to enjoy the great world of sports without the torture from losses, including some "cheesy mush" about how the real fun of sports, is in being a fan of "your team." Congrats to Joey on his newly found maturity. Amidst Joey's "freedom talk" to sports fans is "favorite athletes" and "most devastating losses" talk, a dissection of trash talking on and off the field, whether professional athletes are fair game to belittling critique and mockery, and whether it's fun to see the opposite fanbase in pain.
Joey thinks cheerleading and professional wrestling are the same kind of sport, Heather reminds people why sports isn't "just a game," Dick shares why he had to give up Fantasy Football, Stoy sheds tears over Dusty Rhodes and thinks it's a sin not to be a fan of #23.

EP40 - To Laugh or Not to Laugh: Comedians, the Modern-Day Prophet Aug 27, 2024

[This episode with Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, and Stoy Prioleau, was produced by Joey Svendsen]
The three videos discussed in this episode can be found here: video, video 2, video 3.
Some deep sharing on this episode, Hayne talks about the anger he lives with and Robbie shares how as a child he was discouraged from being proud of anything. The five talk about standup comedians, Hayne likening them to modern-day prophets, highlighting their importance in society.
Joey presents a couple of jokes he saw on instagram, one was a story by a comedian about a family member with down syndrome, the other was a black male mocking the voices and facial expressions of white college, female students. Can comedy go too far? Is every topic fair game to laugh at? Is there a "right way" to make fun of anything? Recently on a text feed amongst the podcast host team, Amy thought Hayne made a "fat joke" about her and even though he didn't, Amy shares why she wouldn't have objected.

EP39 - Parenting with Faith Struggles & Abusive Music Minister vs. Joey Aug 20, 2024

[This episode is produced by Hayne Griffen and hosted by Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffen, Robbie Madison, and Matt Oxley]
Robbie became a father [thrice] recently and the four reflect on parenting in the context of faith, Joey sharing seasons in which he didn't have the tools to guide his kids spiritually, given his own confusion and angst about the deeper things, at those points in his life. Joey also processes out loud a situation in which an adult with leadership position over one of his kids crossed major lines and asks his co-hosts for feedback on how he handled the situation. Peer mentoring in high gear!
The three also talk appropriateness in regards to joking about some one's gayness, they offer Robbie moral support for his upcoming vasectomy and share what they believe to be backwards, the emphasis Christians put on a "sinners' prayer," when simultaneously putting very little focus on whether one has any fruit from living a gospel-centered life.

EP37 - Please Stop Peeing on Our Jesus' Gospel Aug 12, 2024

[This episode is produced by Stoy Prioleau and hosted by Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, Ellen Mauro, Liz Miller]

Birthed out of the discussion in "episode 36: generation z people, trans people and those gay olympic ceremonies," in this episode, Joey shares how he posted some sentiments on that archaic social networking platform, Facebook, fairly certain the straight-forwardness of its message to fellow Christians in regards to Jesus' radical message of love. Numerous comments on the post however highlighted some very different takes on how a Christ-follower is to reflect the gospel. Joey, Amy, Liz and Ellen talk about here what seems to be two very opposing views amongst Christians about what "Christ's love" for the world should look like amongst the body of believers. As the four discuss, it seems that certain actions and words the hosts see as "peeing on the gospel" of radical love, many other christians see as "taking stands" for what is good and right.
Joey's Facebook post reflected on the outrage by many christians on the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. He expressed the potential delight it would be to see all Christians truly serving and loving how he personally believes Jesus is calling all Christians to love. It says the following: "I’ve made some of the biggest screw ups of all, so I totally understand the whole “he who is without sin cast the first stone” concept and how it plays out here. But man, it’s so hard to see the church miss the mark on the very basics of the Christian faith. TBH, I think it’s debatable whether this is Christian persecution in the first place, but wouldn’t it be so refreshing to see brothers & sisters all over the world actually loving their neighbors & not having such a short fuse with stuff that rubs them the wrong way? Is it fear? Have we not been perfected by love? HAHA, let’s bring those WWJD bracelets back."

[This episode was recorded on August 1st, produced by Joey Svendsen, with hosts Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen]
Today, Matt educates us on the real story behind the "trans athlete" female boxer and the three discuss the opening ceremony and how many churches have lost their damn minds in how they interact with culture. Also part of the discussion entails positivity and the tension of having good friends who truly care and not wanting to burden these friends with personal baggage. It wraps up with Matt and Stoy arguing on who had/has it better as youngsters, Generation X or the current Generation Z.

EP35 - Trip Down Memory Lane, Feels Like I've Found a New Religion Jul 29, 2024

With newly added commentary, this is a re-airing of the first episode of Pastor With No Answers Podcast, “Can a Christian Be a Universalist?” (originally aired Oct 4th 2015). A question I was only dabbling in at the time, although was very optimistically suspicious, given what I’d already taken in of various books, including the Bible. Now, it’s hard for me to see it any other way. Just like many have faith in the Resurrection of Jesus, I have faith that all things truly will be redeemed and resurrected because of it. (Col 1:20)
It feels like the Holy Spirit is showing more and more people that Jesus really is the image of the invisible and when He prayed “Father forgive, for they know not……,” we were also hearing the heart of the eternal Father.

Love, Joey

EP34 - If The Assassination Was a Success Jul 16, 2024

[Recorded on the evening of July 15 2024, in this episode: Joey Svendsen, Ellen Mauro, Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau]
What does it say about the heart of a human being when one celebrates the demise of an enemy? Is that a deficiency of something one should be praying for God's help about, or is such a celebration ever celebration-worthy? The crew discuss their thoughts on the assassination attempt to Donald Trump, bat around some conspiratorial considerations surrounding the deal, and delve into deeper heart issues including their own when it comes to the suffering and demise of enemies.
The top of the episode consists of catching up with Ellen (link to her TikTok), as it has been a while. She's still sober, still a Christian but is considering trying her luck with talking to the dead. She has some very serious motivation and reasons for this endeavor that she pinpoints for her co-hosts and the general listenership.

EP33 - Winning this Country Back For God Jul 09, 2024

[Recorded on the evening of May 15 2024, in this episode: Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, Matt Oxley]
With “Firefighter Hayne” present, the host crew discuss some pretty intense emergency situations that Hayne was also present at while working his vocation as a rescue worker. Somehow the discussion shifts to everyones' most fearful ways to die and whether the jumpers' acts on 9/11 were suicides, even though they were going to die regardless. Great fun!
But don't fear, the conversation gets a bit more light-hearted. Given the recent Independence Day celebration and with a chaotic election season looming, christian nationalism, what Jesus would say to the American church, and whether “winning” has anything to do with the gospel, are some of the topics at hand on this one.

The catalyst of the conversation = Joey’s son and some of his peers got a singing gig for a gathering of conservative Christians, their meeting centering around "winning the country back to God" and steering America's culture back in alignment with biblical values. All of this got Joey thinking about Jesus winning by losing (His death and resurrection); and whether Christians should be concerned whatsoever with winning their country back to God.

EP32 - Do You Get Excited When Famous People “join the team” of Christianity? Jun 24, 2024

[in this episode: Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffin, Jed Payne, Stoy Prioleau]
British actor and comedian, Russell Brand, apparently converted to Christianity and this sort of thing makes Joey and Jed excited, while Hayne could not care any less than what he does about celebrities "joining the team." All three consider themselves Christians and thus discuss the possible intricacies that explain their vastly different reactions, Joey dissecting his reaction in the context of his belief in a universal salvation plan.
Joey also plays A.I. voices of this episode’s co-hosts, Stoy, Jed and Hayne; the four discuss a few “A.I. questions," like, can AI “personalities” provide adequate intimacy and connection at least at a baseline level, to those who will opt for it over the more treacherous quest for real, human connection? And If A.I. manufactured child porn can leave children the hell out of the equation, should we consider this to be a possible solution to keeping kids safe from predators? Or is this no solution at all?

MINI #3 - Living By the Spirit Just May Be the Answer Jun 17, 2024

Joey discusses how he feels the church is still way too focussed on the "letter of the law," muddying the waters of love and holding the exact counterproductive beliefs the Apostle Paul warns against in his letter to the church in Galatia.
If the church allowed Jesus' words to reign supreme and took serious His command to love, Christianity would cease from being "just another religion of do's and don't's" and be transformed back into a body known for a new way of life, sparked by a perfect love from a God of love who casts out all fear.
Maybe tapping into the spirit of this God is what we base our unity on, inside and outside the church. Just maybe.

EP31: Worth Fighting for (w/ John Pavlovitz) Jun 12, 2024

[This Episode: Hosts, Hayne Griffin, Matt Oxley, Joey Svendsen and guest, John Pavlovitz]
Any one want more courage and compassion when cruelty is trending? Can we get an amen or two? With guest and author John Pavlovitz, we navigate themes of judgment, emotional reactions, and the delicate balance of maintaining hope within societal systems. Together, we uncover the transformative power of breaking down preconceived notions through genuine human connection.
Navigating social media's treacherous landscape, we delve into maintaining personal authenticity amidst contrasting communities and trending cruelty. Through insights from John's poignant book, "Worth Fighting For: Finding Courage and Compassion when Cruelty is Trending," we discuss strategies to remain compassionate and genuine, even when faced with pervasive negativity. The episode wraps up with a discussion on redemptive anger, political divisiveness, and the moral dilemmas in voting, culminating in a testament to resilience and advocating for justice in an often unresponsive political landscape. Join us for a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of hope, authenticity, and the quest for a more inclusive world.

EP30 - Can There Be Objective Morality Without a God? Jun 03, 2024

[appearing on this episode: Joey Svendsen and guest, Amanda Udis-Kessler]
Amanda Udis-Kessler PhD. wrote a book on ethics, Abundant Lives: A Progressive Christian Ethic of Flourishing. This book sets out to invite sociologically informed engagement in human well-being, based on Jesus’ command to love God and our neighbors. Talking through many facets of its content, Joey and Dr. Amanda discuss whether the resurrection of Jesus is an essential belief of Christian faith, if objective morality can exist without God and whether or not ignorance excuses one's actions from being immoral. And if ignorance isn't an excuse for humans, should other animal species also be considered immoral for the violence acted upon one another and other species [out of ignorance]?
Amanda Udis-Kessler (PhD, sociology, Boston College; certificate, Iliff School of Theology) is the author of Queer Inclusion in the United Methodist Church (Routledge, 2008), Abundant Lives: A Progressive Christian Ethic of Flourishing (Pilgrim, 2024) and Cultural Processes of Inequality: A Sociological Perspective (Anthem, 2024). She has essays, chapters, and other materials in an additional 13 books. Amanda’s liturgical materials are available at several compilation websites in the US, UK, and Australia.

EP29 - Sickness and Beauty: A Tribute to Zeth Davis (12/7/76 - April 30, 2021) May 23, 2024

[On this episode: Zoë Roff, Amy Alderman, Joey Svendsen]

*Special song tribute by Riggy Roc (Stoy Prioleau)

Listeners,
This is Joey. On this episode, my co-host and friend Amy Alderman join Zoë Roff in paying tribute to her brother Zeth and reflecting on his passing away by suicide. We all four went to the same high school, know the same people; so for us, it was a meaningful glimpse back into an era of time we all shared, living in the same town at our most impressionable ages. That means something special to me, especially as I get older.
Zeth's story, although uniquely beautiful and horrific, also represents the narrative of all humans; and most specifically the many who just like me, have experienced the havoc caused by the darkness of mental illness.
So, cheers to one of the brightest and kindest out there, Zeth Davis.
Special thanks to Stoy Prioleau (aka Riggy Rock) for the beautiful musical tribute)

Christians Playing Dungeons and Dragons, Pokémon and Other Games in Satan's Playground May 10, 2024

[appearing on this episode: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman and guest, David Schirduan]
David Schirduan grew up with a very similar faith-background as Joey's, but the biggest difference? David spent a part of his "youth group, high school days" in the youth group that Joey led almost 20 years ago.
David creates literature for folks who enjoy role-playing games, many of these games along the same lines of Dungeons and Dragons. Growing up, both Joey and David were taught that these types of games belonged in the same category as tarot cards, ouija boards and other satanic tools that should be avoided due to the sorts of evil spirits they are likely connected to. David is still a practicing Christian and comes on the show to shed some light on Dungeons and Dragons andwalk us through how role-playing games work, hoping to lessen the stigma and eliminate some unwarranted fears amongst the christian community.
With co-host Amy Alderman providing staunch pushback, these two alongside Joey Svendsen, talk through the morals of dabbling in things that are seen by most Christians as evil that needs to be avoided. David walks Joey through a role-playing game scenario and explains how role-playing games can be used for beauty, connection and healthy creativity.

EP27 - Hayne's Great Deconstruction May 08, 2024

[Contributors to this Episode: Matt Oxley, Hayne Griffen, Joey Svendsen,]
Co-hosts Matt Oxley and Hayne Griffen share their stories of deconstruction, Matt all the way to unbelief and Hayne, into "belief territory" that most evangelicals would deem heresy. The two dig deep into Hayne's story including his upbringing and how he now parents his own kids. Matt laments on the lack of appreciation for the pain experienced by former Christians who have deconstructed out of the faith. They both share how seasons of anger was a part of their journeys.

[Contributors to this Episode: Joey Svendsen, Liz Miller, Stoy Prioleau, Matt Oxley]
Stoy's cultural upbringing and mentoring (or lack of) instilled various perspectives about sex, marriage and success, that he'd later have to grow out of. Joey and Liz lament over inappropriate hip-hop lyrics, having sons who love hip-hop, and Matt exhorts Christians to repent from capitalism.
Stoy also reminisces on middle school lingo amongst him and his black peers, throwing Joey into gleeful middle school nostalgia, remembering as kids hanging with Stoy and other black peers of Joey's.

In EP10 of the Podcast, 4 months or so ago, Derek Kubilus introduced us to his perspective on a Universal salvation plan carried out by Jesus, captured in his new book, Holy Hell. Regular guest, Jack Hoey, read the book and didn't have a positive reaction, even felt like it was contemptuous. Hosts Joey Svendsen and Hayne Griffen beg to differ, and the four discuss.

EP24 - "Holy Ghosted" (w/ Tiffany Yecke Brooks) Apr 15, 2024

[in this episode: Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks and host, Joey Svendsen]
Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks joins to talk her newest book, Holy Ghosted: Spiritual Anxiety, Religious Trauma, and the Language of Abuse, which is a follow-up to her previous book Gaslighted by God. Together, her and Joey discuss spiritual anxiety (including scrupulosity), the important difference between deconstructing faith and deconstructing God, and how spiritual questions are a sign of closeness rather than separation from God, the damaging characteristics of toxic religious communities, and many other themes found in Holy Ghosted.
More about "Holy Ghosted": Equipping readers to understand and name tactics of spiritual abuse and manipulation, each chapter covers a different method of control found in toxic religious communities--including legalism, indoctrination, praise, and fear--and how to identify and respond to it healthily. Brooks also reframes scriptural passages commonly weaponized by those in power. Weaving together interviews with diverse Christians and her own experience, Brooks empowers readers to trust their intuition, seek truth fearlessly, and love God and neighbor without restraint or fear.

EP22 - Doctor With Millions of TikTok Followers Becomes a TikTok Addict Mar 25, 2024

[on this episode: Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler and Joey Svendsen]
Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, MD started a TikTok account, began to acquire a very large following and literally became hooked. After he started to ignore his family because of the "TikTok addiction," his wife and daughters took matters into their own hands, pointed out to him the severity of his issue and pleaded for him to get help. Now clean from his addiction, he decided to do his own research on social media addiction and his findings are captured in his book, "Influenced: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception."

Telling his story on media outlets such as Fox News, Dr. Brian educates others from a place of humility. Discovering firsthand the allure of being "followed," "liked," and the ensuing Dopamine hits each exposure elicits, if it wasn't for his caring and persistent family, the doctor may still be locked in for more Dopamine, constantly obsessing and coming back for more.
His book outlines the dangers of social media, sometimes (as he claims) just as deadly as a gun, but it also highlights the good coming from this 21st Century invention that has changed the world, producing many out-of-control addictions like the one Dr. Brian overcame. Dr. Brian shares his story and his findings.

Then, you'll enjoy this episode with Josh [Dies] Porter (Showbread) who is also an author with a new release, "With All Its Teeth: Sex, Violence, Profanity, and the Death of Christian Art." With his book as the context, Joey and Josh manage to fit into one conversation the punk rock culture of Christian music they grew up with, both of their introductions into "secular music," a more rounded approach for Christians to consume art, the honesty of the bible, how far is too far when it comes to art, a debate on the best MxPx album, the phrase, "it must be a God thing," and more.

EP19 - To Vote or Not to Vote: Is It Being a 'bad christian' to Opt Out? Mar 03, 2024

[hosts contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen, Stoy Prioleau, Amy Alderman, Robbie Madison, Matt Oxley, Jed Payne]
Joey opens up about what he feels may be too much personal apathy about politics and voting. After sharing with a handful of the show's co-hosts on this one, he's met with more cynicism than he can handle. Four of the five present are convinced that the USA "political machine" doesn't care about people; only getting more votes for their team and acquiring more money and power. And the guilt that many Christians try to push onto those who aren't more involved in political activism isn't merited, nor fair, according to some of the Christians on this one.

EP18 - Jesus Really Does Want Us to Love People Who Believe and Say Really Horrible Things Feb 26, 2024

[hosts contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen]
Corey Nathan, host of the Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each Other Podcast,joins the show to discuss a weakness of his. He has a very hard time keeping composure when it comes to difficult discussions about politics and religion. But deep in his heart, as a former Jewish man, now Christian, he knows that love is the goal. And thus, the birth of his podcast.
Joey and Corey talk how much of society sees people with bad beliefs as bad people who should be scorned; and there's certainly no aiming to humanize them. Joey admits to sentiments about some one who he fears will anger people, but is finally learning what may be the true meaning of following Christ. Corey believes that most people are in the "exhausted majority," people who truly are "done with" the hatred and polarity, but their exhaustion breeds silence. There's some political talk as Corey is a fan of what Biden has done so far, and the two discuss the backwardness of believing deeply in a conviction and trying to spread that zeal by yelling and belittling others.

EP17 - Pursuing Truth About God, Bible and Experiences (through lenses of Christian faith & Atheism) Feb 12, 2024

[hosts contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen and Matt Oxley]
Jack Hoey (the father) and Jack Hoey (the son) join Joey and Matt to discuss the likelihood of God's existence, why God doesn't make things more obvious, whether or not people can condition themselves to believe, how dependable the bible is to base meaning of life on, and what stock should be placed on spiritual experiences. While Joey and "the Jacks" consider themselves believers in the Christian faith, Matt is a former fundamentalist Christian now atheist, very familiar with the tenants of faith and traditional beliefs in the Bible. His departure from faith was a very painful season of deconstruction.

EP16 - Deconstructing Without Losing Yourself (w/ Angela Herrington) Feb 05, 2024

[PRE-ORDER NOW "Deconstructing Without Losing Yourself" by Angela Herrington]
host contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen
The author of "Deconstructing Without Losing Yourself," by Angela Herrington, joins Joey to talk about her new book (releasing this month). Together they discuss their personal journeys of deconstruction, including the obstacle of fear and how to have compassion for those who cause harm in the name of religion.
Angie describes to listeners how to maintain a heart that is bold against injustice while maintaining a posture of love. She highlights here the many blindspots that the church is deeply rooted in, much of them resulting from the same sort of corruption that has affected the rest of the world: a quest for power, control and gain.

Book description: Lively and empathetic, Angela J. Herrington shows you how to begin healing religious trauma through deconstructing your faith. This concise and actionable handbook will guide you in vulnerable exploration and help you release unhealthy beliefs that harm you and others. Begin your healing journey with Deconstructing Your Faith without Losing Yourself.

EP12 - Another Day, Another Seizure for Joey (and other horrible stories) Dec 01, 2023

Please listen at your own risk, as the content on this one is very heavy.
[hosts contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen, Ellen Mauro, Hayne Griffen]
Joey had a seizure a couple of weeks ago and his friends' security camera captured it all. With "firefighter Hayne" present, we learn a bit more about seizures but we also hear some horror stories he's seen on the job as a rescue worker. Oh, and Ellen thought her son was dead for a few seconds.
Along the way, the conversation expands to the usual chit chat about everything, from how the younger generation talks about TikTok like it's the creator of all entertainment, how Ellen is still happily sober, when complementing a woman turns into hitting on her, why true crime entertainment is so alluring, and why Ellen feels compelled to subject herself to footage of the horrors going on in the war around Palestine.

All Kids, These Guests Talk About: God, Parents Cussing, and Whether They'd Be Nervous to Babysit Baby Jesus Nov 16, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Joey Svendsen]
Three kids belonging to some listeners of this podcast, as well as Joey’s son Waylon, talk about the deeper things in life. We talk about how God is good in the context of tornadoes, some specific times their parents have cussed, how the devil is apparently stronger than God sometimes, and whether or not they would be nervous to babysit baby Jesus. One of these kids is an open theist, none of them are quite sure whether skin is an essential organ, Waylon has lied to his dad recently and a couple of them think Cobain was killed by his wife. Oh, and the devil created robbers and cancer.

EP10 - Jesus Saves All? A Case Against Eternal Damnation (w/ Derek Ryan Kubilus) Nov 14, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Joey Svendsen]
If God has the type of unlimited power and unquenchable love most Christians ascribe to the Creator, the theological reasoning behind people being separated from God forever simply doesn't hold up, at least not to our finite minds.

But there are so many verses in the Bible that point to a much greater salvation than what most Christians have been taught. Hearing this episode, listeners will digest the reasons why a universal view of salvation is backed by scripture just as much (if not more) as traditional views of “heaven and hell” are. In his book, “Holy Hell: a Case Against Eternal Damnation,” Methodist minister Derek Ryan Kubilus lays out an exhaustive theological and philosophical framework that outlines not only why this view is far from heresy but also why it's very likely to be true.

Joey and Derek also discuss many objections to this view, including notions like “God’s love has to be balanced by justice,” and how people need to be careful not “to put a human, man-made perspective of love on infinite God."

EP9 - Is Spanking Kids Child Abuse? Nov 06, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Amy Alderman / Ellen Mauro / Joey Svendsen]

While spanking used to be fairly normal with very little cultural push back, many people in 2023 consider all forms of spanking child abuse. Most would agree that hitting any part of a kid's body is abuse, in the event that an adult is relieving anger. But are there healthy ways of going about spanking children?
Ellen, Amy and Joey were all spanked as children. Amy and Joey reflect on personal childhoods that benefitted from that form of discipline. Ellen however is relentless in her view that spanking is always bad.

EP8 - Hayne Curses God, God's Love Moves in Closer Oct 30, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Hayne Griffen / Robbie Madison / Joey Svendsen]

Hayne shares the story of breaking his neck in a biking accident and cursing God, only to feel God's love draw in closer as one of the most tangible instances in his life, ever.
Throughout this story, you'll hear how Hayne went from being "fundamentalist, reformed, Hayne" to"mystic Christian Hayne," how him and his wife Erica transitioned to a more simplistic way of life as a result of this horrific accident, why Hayne finds joy in not approaching faith as something to be mastered, and why he sees his Fire Department as his family.

EP7 - Joey & His Two Lady Co-workers: "The Billy Graham Rule." Oct 23, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Liz Miller / Joey Svendsen and "friend of the show," Sarah Eller]

This conversation started in Episode 309 and today continues with Joey and two of his former, female co-workers. Was the "Billy Graham Rule" needed between him and these two friends (the co-workers), Sarah Eller and Liz Miller? While Joey and Sarah are more comfortable with taking into consideration many of the cautions this rule represents, Liz finds it dated and believes it may be needed for "sad reasons." The three discuss some angles of "the rule" in a way that only friends would be able to.

EP6 - Joey's Racial Joke Hurts Stoy Oct 16, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Joey Svendsen / Stoy Prioleau / Hayne Griffen / Amy Alderman / Matt Oxley / Robbie Madison]
[LIVE Q&A / Call-in: We'd love to continue this conversation
with you all on Oct 26th @ 830PM EST. RSVP HERE]
In a text thread the "host team" uses to communicate with one another, Joey sent a racial joke (video) for laughs. You can view video here if you'd like it for extra context.
(It's also described in the conversation, so viewing isn't necessary)
Regardless of the joke not being sent with ill-intentions, damage was done to Stoy and the whole team was involved on that text thread. This hang-out of some of the hosts, recorded for this episode, is the first time the team came together since Joey's insensitive blunder.
The host team of Pastor With No Answers Podcast are actually friends in real life, some of them just getting to know one another. Joey and Stoy were friends through school- age but after losing contact for almost 30 years, have rekindled their friendship as men.

EP5 - Christians and Conspiracies Oct 09, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Jed Payne / Hayne Griffen]
Episode 5 of the New Era of PWNA, and it's all about conspiracies and why our guests feel that Christians gravitate toward them. Mike Austin and Greg Bock join Jed and Hayne to talk about their book, "QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross." The book addresses what these guys believe to be the rise in Christians believing conspiracy theories and white nationalism amongst western evangelical Christianity. They also discuss the pitfalls of these things and where they think we are headed as a culture.

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Ellen Mauro / Amy Alderman / Matt Oxley / Joey Svendsen / Jed Payne / Alex Ginsberg / Robbie Madison ]
Pastor With No Answers is back with a new era of the podcast. The same sorts of conversations and vibe with nine more hosts, including lots of Christians, an atheist, three gay people, that same ‘ol pastor, 2 black guys from the deep south, and a firefighter.
In Part 4, Amy describes why her faith is so strong while Ellen and Matt explain why she sounds fearful and also administers some peer pressure for her to read books from other religions. Matt is glad he doesn’t have kids and Ellen will not take too kindly to her kids in the event that they don't supply grandkids.

At top of episode, Jed proposes that the next big debate in the church will be whether or not people can marry and have sexual relations with robots.

EP3 - Be Fat, Selfish, or Prideful. Just Don’t Be Gay: The Mix Tape Era Intro (Part 3) Sep 25, 2023

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Joey Svendsen / Jed Payne / Alex Ginsberg / Robbie Madison / Liz Miller / Stoy Prioleau / Hayne Griffen

Pastor With No Answers is back with a new era of the podcast. The same sorts of conversations and vibe with nine more hosts, including lots of Christians, an atheist, three gay people, that same ‘ol pastor, 2 black guys from the deep south, and a firefighter.

In episode 3, Alex shares with Robbie, Jed and Joey how coming out of the closet almost cost her life, the three also talk on Christians who seem to often have more tolerance for the very things the bible has the sternest warnings against. The things way less talked about and addressed in the bible? Zero tolerance. And some how they stumbled into a conversation on some nuances of Francis Chan. Joey feels he has a deeper understanding of evangelicals’ views on the LGBTQ community and Robbie saw the church's recent spike of "un-Jesus-like" actions toward gay people coming a mile away.
At the top of the episode, Liz, Stoy and Hayne wrap up their conversation, (in Episode 2) in which Hayne and Stoy look out out for their new buddy (Liz), encouraging her to see her "church hurt” through different lenses. And in an apocalypse, they discuss who in the host crew they’d want to accompany them.

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Liz Miller / Ellen Mauro / Joey Svendsen / Jed Payne / Stoy Prioleau / Hayne Griffen / Amy Alderman / Matt Oxley]

[alternate description]
Founded in 2014, Charleston's PWNA Podcast was poised to be an influential, undeniable force in the genre of mega goofy podcasts—that is until its spiraling collapse in 2023. The podcast and its charismatic founder, Joey Svendsen, had a promising start. But the perils of power, conflict, and Christian celebrity eroded and eventually shipwrecked both the podcaster and his [multi-10 dollar bills] platform.

383 - Deconstructing as a Parent, Not Knowing What to Tell Your Kids Jan 24, 2023

[We'll continue this conversation LIVE on 2/2. You are welcome to join us. ]
Bekah McNeel joins to talk about her book, "Bringing Up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith." Joey recounts the angst of feeling ill-equipped to guide his kids spiritually through recent years and the peaceful place he and his kids have landed. Bekah outlines a correlation between the doctrine of hell and unhealthy parenting, shares the power of repentance and apology with our kids, and gives a snapshot of her book that covers all the bases of parenting amidst deconstruction and questioning of faith.
How do we teach our kids reverence for God without instilling the "stern and stoic being" narrative we were taught? How do we guide our kids in their interactions with pop culture without being legalistic? Why can all parents take a deep breath and not parent out of fear?

382 - "Black Men Just Need to Stop Selling Drugs, Start Being Fathers." Right? Jan 16, 2023

Why is it not this simple? Why is "not knowing any better" a legitimate excuse? Or is it? Is the "absentee father" even a black problem? Joey discusses these questions with three black friends (regulars on the show) and hears two of their stories of not being cut out for drug dealing, one of them losing an incredible career opportunity due to his color, and one heart-breaking story of divorce, child support and jail time. The three also reflect on the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and what he means to them personally.
We also talk about when white people try to talk "black things" to black people, including Joey trying to talk basketball to black men he's meeting for the first time.

381 - Middle Finger to My Old Church, What's Love Got to Do With It? Jan 10, 2023

[chapter markers are listed at bottom & inserted in audio for your listening convenience]
As the topic of conversation centers around a specific instagram post by a specific person, this is a general conversation about “spitfire social media Christians," why their words don’t resemble love, and if a militant tone is the most loving approach when one believes vehemently that opposing positions are not only wrong but also endangering the health and/or rights of a whole demographic of people by the billions (babies, women, etc).
We get into some abortion talk, dissect how evangelicals typically view the theology behind "homosexuality being a sin," but the main topic at hand? Where is the fine-line between speaking boldly from convictions and letting anger compromise the beauty of Jesus' teachings to "love our neighbor," and to "bless those who curse me."

380 - You'll Die Sooner Without Good Community. (It's Science) Jan 03, 2023

Maybe the best New Year's Resolution one can make: Get good friendships.
Elizabeth Gillespie, licensed therapist of 11 years, focusses her practices on helping people find healing for trauma, through healthy human connection. She did a Tedx Talks (2022) that outlines the scientific data behind this bold statement she made in this episode: “You are probably going to die sooner, faster, and be far less healthy if you don’t have close relationships.”
You heard her. It’s a matter of survival, folks.
We talk through this innate need and discuss why finding healthy relationships is so challenging for people. She outlines the ingredients of life-giving relationships, explains why giving someone their space is usually not a good thing, and differentiates between having a healthy need for people and being co-dependent.

So, eat better, exercise, keep track of that cholesterol, get regular mammograms and maintain good relationships with people. Your life literally depends on it.

378 - Christmas For Me and My Friends ("the Black Ones" Part II) Dec 13, 2022

Twenty-seven years since the last time they hung as friends (and classmates) at James Island High, Stoy Prioleau, Antonio "Hype" Seabrook and Joey Svendsen caught up on episode 361 - My Childhood Friends [the Black ones]. As kids, they never processed together things like racism, privilege, systemic racism, what it's like to be black, and what it's like to be white. As adults, they reflect on their childhoods with a lot more insight and life experience.
In this episode, the conversation continues as they reflect on being a kid at Christmas as a middle class white kid with dad at home and as a black kid growing up with a single mother trying to keep food on the table.
Joey rakes it in annually while Stoy and "Hype" tell some "Christmas morning heartbreak" stories. It was pretty common in the black community for their peers to get no gifts at all on Christmas.
What was it like as a black kid, when all the best toys (G.I. Joe, He-Man) you play with are depictions of white people? Different entertainment, different food, even different looking Christmas Trees, Stoy was always eager to come back home and report on the lavish Christmases he experienced in the families of the white girls he was hanging with at the time. Stoy and "Hype" also share how they reflect on their absent fathers during the holidays.

377 - Christian Rap, "Still Standing" w/ KJ-52 Dec 06, 2022

Becoming a Christian as a 15-year old, KJ-52's career started when the music industry was nothing like it is now. From the early days of opening up for acts like Tribe Called Quest and appearing on a radio show of Dj Khaled's (before he was DJ Khaled) to finding some unexpected traction in the Christian music industry with his letter to Eminem in the song "Dear Slim," Joey and KJ-52 not only reminisce about the old school Christian Rap and Tooth and Nail Records days, they talk a little faith and mental health. KJ-52 (real name, Jonah Sorrentino) is also now a full-time Pastor.
Go support his newest album, "Still Standing" (Kickstarter), inspired by the havoc Hurricane Ian has had on him and his people in Florida.

John Mark McMillan and Joey Svendsen enjoy their time with Pastor and Author Brian Zahnd, asking him a little about everything. What does Brian Zahnd think of the POTUS (Donald Trump) and if asked, would he serve on his spiritual advisement board?
Brian Zahnd believes strongly in the church. He points out the problems with both the "Christian right" and "Christian left," highlighting how Jesus wouldn’t serve either of their agendas; because frankly, He has his own. The church, he says, is a part of the world that's “already changed by Christ.” Until we let this sink in, Zahnd concludes that Christians will continue to seek hope in what their political party can accomplish, none of this having anything to do with the more important Kingdom work we are to value above all.
Brian and John Mark also have an interesting take on why many artists are disinterested in politics. And of course, we get into some theology: atonement theories, Christian universalism, the gospel in its fullness.

375 - "Death to Deconstruction" (w/ Josh Porter of Showbread) Nov 18, 2022

Josh Porter (formerly known as Josh Dies of the band Showbread), author of the new book "Death to Deconstruction," shares his story of christian fundamentalist upbringing and deconstruction of faith. Full of bitterness towards the church, he later discovered deep issues of personal pride (quite common for youngsters his age) that contributed greatly to being on this path.
Having now returned to an orthodox (as in what people would describe as not progressive) faith, he is also a pastor at a non-denominational church.
As Joey and Josh likely see faith and deconstruction very differently, they enjoyed a full's episode worth of discussing what they both agreed on, including the needed adjustments for the church to make, in order for it to recapture the ways of Jesus.
Josh appeals to the need of having Jesus' ability to maintain convictions (and true beliefs), while still having a welcoming heart for all to "come to the table of fellowship," including those who aren't even sure where they stand with faith altogether. He shares practically what this looks like as a pastor.
The two may or may not have also done some reminiscing of those glorious yesteryears of discovering the "listening bliss" of punk rock music.

374 - An Unexpected Remedy to a Childhood of Sexual Abuse and Trafficking Nov 15, 2022

[Please listen with caution. Lots of sexual abuse talk]

Randy, and his wife Cynthia Lail (both dear to Joey's heart), carry with them a beautiful faith that will bring back memories to many listeners who have deconstructed some and no longer see things in the light of traditional, evangelical christian lenses.
As a child, Randy was a victim of sexual abuse [and trafficking] at the hands of one who was supposed to be his protector. The result was a warped view of sexuality and a monstrous sexual addiction that would continue far into his marriage with Cynthia.
Desperate for healing, these two were ready with open hands for whatever means God would chose to do it. For starters, Randy is convinced Jesus spoke to him. His deceased mom also. And this happened all under the influence of an 8-hour ecstasy trip (under doctor supervision) where he also discovered the extent of his sexual abuse. The rawness and transparency demonstrated in this episode is something to aspire to.
"That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10).
Praise and glory to a Savior who rescues us from our past and redeems beyond our expectation, more than we can ask or imagine.

373 -The Dilemma of a Belief in Eternal Punishment (w/ Two Pastors and an Atheist) Nov 08, 2022

Co-hosts Chip Judd (very long-time Christian) and Matt Oxley (long-time Christian, gone atheist) discuss with Joey what he finds to be an "impossible position" Christians are in when it comes to their kids and the doctrine of hell.
If dreaded eternal separation is on the table of possibilities, fear and life-trauma [in the end] is a good thing, especially if one is scared enough to repent and avoid going there. Right?
Chip and Matt both agree that religious people have taken advantage of this doctrine to control people. They also agree that a fixation on eternal separation makes for lousy Christians. Joey makes a case again for Christian Universalism and Matt proposes that Jesus failed, if everyone isn't saved.
Why are so many Christians not able to find peace while holding a belief in hell, while others can go about their life normally, not bothered by their many friends and family perishing in the end? Do Christians really believe in hell? What is humanity's flaw, and what is the gospel anyway? A hell of an episode (pun intended).

372 - Two Divorced Men: Their Stories, Reflections, Convictions Nov 01, 2022

Two marriages that ended in divorce. One after 35 years of marriage, grandkids to show for it; the other marriage, a lot newer with no offspring.
Why did these two men get divorces? How much responsibility do they take? What feelings do they currently have for their former spouses, and how did their church communities respond?
Are divorces more accepted these days amongst Christians? How relevant to these men are Jesus' words, "If anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." (Luke 16:18)
And would it not make sense for more people to seek marital advice from those who have lived through a divorce?

A Woman's Body Month (Part 4): Women Sexuality Oct 25, 2022

Viewer discretion is always advised, dummies, but this one is a must.
Erica Smith, sexuality educator for 22 years and creator of Purity Culture Drop Out, talks candidly and answers Joey's crazy questions about female sexuality.
According to Erica, there's not a lot of sexual behavior (i.e. masturbation habits, being aroused by visual stimuli ) consistent to a particular gender. In other words, "girls like stuff," just like boys. There is however a lot of sexual tendencies/patterns in society that are affected greatly by cultural conditioning.
What's the biology behind older men remaining sexually attracted to girls in their early to mid-twenties? What does Erica's research say about casual sex and hook-ups? We talk porn, sado masochism, how much sex goes on in nursing homes and many more "blush inducing" topics.

A Woman's Body Month (Part 3): God and Breast Cancer Oct 18, 2022

No one is ever prepared for this sort of news. Life is normal for Hayne Griffin and all of the sudden, he has to contemplate losing his spouse. But this is a "Woman's Body Month," who cares about Hayne! (just kidding, Hayne).
Hayne's wife, Erica Griffin, joins the show and the two describe how breast cancer has rocked (and is rocking) their world.
As five folks on this show who have experienced significant faith-deconstruction, there's lots of discussion on our current views of God, sickness and healing in the context of Erica's cancer; and how drastically different from our pre-deconstruction thinking.
Does losing your breasts affect how a woman feels sexually? Why is it easier for Hayne to be an atheist sometimes? Did Erica expect to find herself in heaven in the event she died? And who would have thought, all breasts can be broken down into two groups: fatty or dense. And this is actually important! A little bit of everything on this one.
And we figured out a way to laugh through all this. Beauty of the human spirit. Talking about pain and agony with friends can still include laughter.
Thanks to Erica and Hayne Griffin for sharing their story.

A Woman's Body Month (Part 2): Life as an Asexual Woman Oct 11, 2022

"A Woman's Body Month," sexuality, self-worth and image, the brutality of breast cancer and what it's like not to desire sex, all through the life experiences of women.
On this episode, Amy Alderman and Joey Svendsen talk to Rachel Meyers of Your Favorite Heretics, to gain a better understanding of asexuality. Rachel enjoys "having feelings" for others (she enjoys that with her husband, Derek) and has always enjoyed being pursued. She just never has desired any one's body sexually.
Rachel's form of asexuality not only leaves her disinterested in sex, the thought is repulsive and the act as troublesome as it would be for a gay person to be with the opposite sex or a straight person having sex with the same gender. She relishes complements from women, has to work hard at giving her kids physical affection and loves her husband dearly.
So, what about her husband? Do asexual people like orgasms? Is asexuality an imperfection?
Thanks to Rachel for sharing a part of her life that she would change if she could.
It's "A Woman's Body Month" continues on Pastor With No Answers Podcast. "Brutality of Breast Cancer" with co-host Hayne and his wife, Erica (Oct 18th)
"Woman Sexuality" with Erica Smith (Oct 25th)

A Woman's Body Month (Part 1): Having a Female Body Oct 04, 2022

Kicking off a 4-part series for the month of October, sexuality, self-worth and image, the brutality of breast cancer and what it's like not to desire sex, all through the life experiences of women (but of course!).
Today, co-hosts of the show, Ellen Mauro, Amy Alderman and Liz Miller discuss what pop culture currently deems as the ideal female body type, whether women always care about having sex appeal and if culture is dictating the whole "as men get older, they become more distinguished and as women age, less sexy and desirable" narrative. All three ladies describe with great candor their own struggle with body image, especially as they age. Special thanks to them for that.
Are women competitive with one another? Is it unnerving that statistically, as men get older they always find girls in their early 20s the most appealing sexually? Does culture now accept the sexual objectification of men? Oh, and guys being more visual than women? That may just be a myth.
It's "A Woman's Body Month" on Pastor With No Answers Podcast.
The conversation continues throughout the month:
"Asexuality" with Rachel Meyers of Your Favorite Heretics (Oct. 11th)
"Brutality of Breast Cancer" with co-host Hayne and his wife, Erica (Oct 18th)
"Woman Sexuality" with Erica Smith (Oct 25th)

367 - Mourning Bill Cosby and Learning How to See People Sep 27, 2022

Ellen Mauro has found great recent success in medicating her AD/HD. She also got Joey to watch a documentary called "We've Got to Talk About Cosby," which chronicles the twisted and dark life of Bill Cosby, all along while the cultural icon is considered heroic by millions of fans.
Now having watched the documentary, Joey can never enjoy The Cosby Show again. Stoy, Ellen and Joey discuss evil in the context of mental illness and they look at the nuances involved in separating good art from an evil artist. Lastly, Joey and Ellen learn about Stoy's superpower.
For Part II of the episode, John Mark Mcmillan and Joey discuss their journey of judging people less, the older they get. John Mark ran into a famous Mega Church Pastor in an airplane who is a big fan of of John Mark's music, the two of them now friends. Come to find out, although looks can be deceiving, the Mega Church Pastor is actually a real person too.

366 - Sneaking Communion as a Non-Catholic, Catholic Mass Junkie (w/ Stephanie Drury) Sep 15, 2022

Stephany Drury of Stuff Christians Life, shares a bit of her story of growing up a fundamentalist kid who asked too many questions about God, [because the dots just weren't connecting] while God convicted her heart at an early age that loving God and others is what the "good life" is made of, rather than the emphasis of religion many of us were raised on.
You'll hear why Stephanie loves attending Catholic mass as frequently as she can while deploring a lot of the "laws" in the Catholic church. She believes in transubstantiation (the communion elements actually "turn into" the flesh and blood of Jesus) and has currently found a church community (outside of her Catholic mass intake) that she loves.
What's worst-case scenario for the political landscape in America, how purity culture at Mars Hill church detrimentally affects Ellen years later, the breaking of "generational fundamentalism" in Joey's household, the personal impacts of mental illness and whether Matt misses "Christian fellowship" are other topics of conversations on this one.

365 - The Lord is My Shepherd [I Need to Know What This Means, Because I'm Drowning] Sep 13, 2022

I started reading "The Lord is My Courage," by KJ Ramsey, last week and quickly realized, it would be on a short list of books that did some profound life-changing work deep in my heart that permanently changes my trajectory of faith.
As I've deconstructed a lot of the unhealthy lenses taught to me by fellow brothers and sisters in those unhealthy cultures themselves, my view in how I see our wonderful God was turned upside down for the better as I truly grappled with God's love and what that means, that God loves me.
Where I have felt a bit stuck, was learning how to pursue and relate to my drastically upgraded view of God. This book truly seems to be filling in lots of gaps. Jesus is the shepherd who will seek me when I'm lost; until I'm found. I can trust this. The shepherd is God. -- Joey

364 - Bad Theology Kills (w/ Kevin Garcia) Sep 06, 2022

Kevin Garcia, author of "Bad Theology Kills," hangs with hosts Joey and Matt Oxley as they talk about sexual attraction, how to live a life of love in this "woke culture" when you're not all that woke and you mess up people's pronouns, and how bad theology kills people. And if people are actually dying, the church needs to love first, figure out the theology later. Could the the American version of mainstream Christianity actually be heresy? And when people say "the bible says," they actually mean "this is what i believe the bible to say."

363 - When You Did a Lot of Drugs the Night Before Your First Gig, Playing Drums at a Mega Church Aug 30, 2022

Joey is a Pastor at Seacoast Church, the last 13 years at the James Island location, much of that time getting to know Jonathan Peace, our drummer. After years of being embedded into the church community and developing many friendships including with Joey, "Peace" finally tells the story of his first "gig" at Seacoast on a Sunday morning after a full night of booze and smoking cigarettes, tips dipped in cocaine. He had a "magical experience" playing his first worship service at his new church home (to say the least).
Co-host Jed Payne (with plenty of past drug use himself), Joey and Jonathan discuss different angles of drug-use from a moral perspective and explore lots of theological speculation about God and the afterlife.
Jonathan's view of God is greatly informed by a time at the beach when God's hand pressed and held him to the ground, speaking through his heart and body for hours. He's can't unsee what he saw about the spiritual realm that night [and if we're comparing], giving him a much more "progressive theology," at least in the technical sense.

The reason why you'll rarely see modern Christians on the political Left or Right have constructive conversations around politics or social issues - despite claiming a shared faith, tradition, and epistemology - is that we are already so comprehensively formed by our ideological narratives and so woefully underformed or selectively formed by our theological narratives, and it is narrative more than anything else that gives in

362 - Ask, Seek, Knock, Eat a Mushroom: The Making of a Mystic Aug 23, 2022

Kevin Sweeney, author of, "The Making of a Mystic: My Journey With Mushrooms, My Life as a Pastor, and Why It's Okay for Everyone to Relax," didn't find God through religion. His entry-way to faith wasn't wrought with the oppression many of us today are deconstructing from.
"Missionaries" have been thought of as those who are "taking the good news out, to set the captives free." Pastor Kevin claims that his "missionary" was a handful of mushroom trips.
Now that his hallucinogenic experiences have pointed to the wholeness and freedom that can only come from an inherent union with an all-loving God, he has no need for more mushroom, but rather presses on to "live the life" they pointed toward. To do otherwise, he sees as an act of betrayal to the sanctity of the revelation.
At the top of the episode, co-hosts Matt Oxley and Robbie Madison reflect on episode one of the new Seacoast Church Podcast that Joey hosts. Joey and Robbie talk about their relationship with Grammy-winning Brandon Lake and the unique vantage point of watching a friend's career explode.

361 - My Childhood Friends [the Black ones] Aug 15, 2022

It was late into adulthood that I (Joey) came to an understanding of my ignorance, when it came to the challenges and trials of being a black person in America. I’ve had many kind, gracious and helpful friends who have helped steer my path into one that is more educated and sensitive towards the needs of other groups of people.
Which left me thinking, what about my black pals from my childhood? How different was their experiences growing up in Charleston, SC? Come to find out, the differences in the life experiences of my friends Stoy Prioleau and Antonio "Hype" Seabrook were drastically different from mine and in some ways, the same.
The three of us were clueless of the extent of racial tension that permeated our culture. Even if we had knowledge of it, there was not enough interest to slow down from playing Nintendo and shooting hoops to do anything about it. We were content with just having fun and being kids.

The differences were intriguing and in some ways, heavy. What they joked about when the white guys weren’t present, who they assumed my dad was, and the heart-breaking stories of their dads who abandoned them, I'm sure we didn’t even scratch the surface in this conversation.
Oh the fun of telling stories, remembering teachers and the shenanigans they put up with. Most fun I’ve had in a while.

360 - Can You Advocate for Life and Vote Pro-Choice? Aug 09, 2022

There are real Christians on both sides of this issue, all of whom feel convinced of their position. If humans are unwilling to embrace this fact, there is no hope for unity. Christians have clear instructions [John 13:35] not to be known by positions, but rather the love shared for one another and all humanity.
Each woman on this episode would vote the same way at the ballot; and yet see this issue very differently.

359 - Congratulations, Those Who Have God Figured Out. Jul 28, 2022

Many systematic theologians talk about God like they got God pegged while Isaiah says "God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours."
While many claim things along the lines of "God won't bless your finances if you don't tithe before taxes," I'm still trying to process what it means for God to love me. What does that mean for all of us?
This is an episode about God. If you're pursuing theology for a snapshot of God, give up the pursuit because God is too big for that.
What we are left with:
If God is all-loving, God can't be all-powerful because there is evil in the world.
If God is all-powerful, God must not care or love creation because there is evil in the world.
Many Christians still claim God to be both, all-loving and all-powerful (I'm one of them -- Joey).
But while others, like Thomas Oord, actually try to make sense of this dichotomy, coming up with other possible explanations, he's pushed to the side as a heretic.
Thomas Oord's new book Pluriform Love, unpacks a "Thomas Oord version" of open theology, which is a belief that supposes God not to be all-powerful.
If this doctrine is true, how do we know we are "eternally safe" in heaven (where ever that is)?
How do we reconcile God's wrath and eternal love with his eternal grace, love and redemption. So what the hell is going on out there and how does all this work? Does God have emotions? Why did God create us in the first place?
We can only speculate.

358 - Joey's "Woke Ignorance" Merited an Apology Jul 26, 2022

Ellen would rather be alone than to have an affair. Are pedophiles simply stuck with their attraction to kids? Is it true love when a victim loves his aggressor? If it's "true love," is that a good thing?
Matt has a trauma-filled childhood that we haven't been filled in on yet, Ellen wants more black friends in her life, and Joey makes a blunder that he felt sick about.

357 - Heroic Disgrace: Another Pastor With Mental Illness (bipolar disorder) Jul 19, 2022

Worship leader in an evangelical church, cousin of Brian Welch (Korn), struggler of bipolar disorder, and author, Scott W. Box, joins the show to discuss mental illness, grace and Heroic Disgrace, his recent book release in which he tells his story and unpacks the gospel concept of "winning by losing."
We also discuss how God can make healthy what He chooses not to heal, and how Scott's struggles with mental illness compelled him to seek Jesus deeper. Isn't that a good thing?
Joey also reflects on his madness of reverting back to OCD spiritual rituals back in his mental health crisis in 2019 and how leaning on others' faith is necessary when personal faith has run dry. Can your brain ever be too unhealthy to process God in a positive light? Joey has experienced times when thoughts of God were a detriment.
Two pastors reflect on their journeys through mental health crises and having personal experience, describe their experiences with being suicidal and how selfishness wasn't part of the equation.
Ben Archer, Patron of the show (which means he's in the Bear W/ Community), joins Joey to talk deconstruction and reflect on BadChristian. And up top, a couple of my black friends reflect a bit on how Will Smith's actions was a poor representation of African-Americans.

[RELOAD 2 of 2] EPISODE 304 - Pro-Choice or Pro-Life II Jul 10, 2022

Originally aired 7/13/2021.
For additional context, listen to the whole episode as it was originally aired RIGHT HERE.
As originally posted.

Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa Florer-Bixler, joins to talk about what she calls “reproductive justice.” Is a living embryo an actual living person? Is it mere tissue waste? “No” and “no,” according to Melissa. We discuss these matters and reflect on a truth that many evangelical Christians do not want to face: their pro-life stances are actually conditional and far from consistent. Just ask a beautiful (and desperate) couple who went the in vitro fertilization route, were successful, but have additional frozen embryos that will never be used. What does a consistent pro-life stance look like and what sorts of hypocrisies are currently rampant in those who claim pro-life? Within discussions along these lines, is there an important distinction between human life and personhood?

[RELOAD 1 of 2] EPISODE 303 - Pro-Choice or Pro-Life Jul 10, 2022

Originally aired 7/8/2021.
For additional context, listen to the whole episode as it was originally aired RIGHT HERE.
As originally posted.

While some people call ProGrace.org “pro-life lite,” others label it as teetering on pro-choice. Angie Weszely and her organization (Pro-Grace) takes heat from both sides, and as you’ll hear in this episode, she doesn’t believe Jesus would own either label. He always starts with grace, and this seems to be something unfortunately lacking in many hearts of those in the pro-life camp. Co-host Ellen Mauro, who considers herself a “pro-life liberal” and one who is pro-life but votes pro-choice, joins us to talk about perhaps the most polarizing and potentially heated issues of the century.
ProGrace.org is a movement that offers training and other resources founded on a belief for God to give us a creative solution based on His wisdom and provision - and His love for BOTH the woman and the child.

356 - Do You Love America? Jul 03, 2022

One woman married to an Air Force pilot (Jessica Reagan), another woman who grew up in a military family (Liz Miller). One black guy (Robbie Madison), one white guy (Joey Svendsen). Each grew up (and was taught to) loving the U.S.A. but as adults, this love looks a lot different. What does it mean to love your country but not trust the government?
How can our country be as bad as some of our citizens claim, when people all around the world are still trying to get here?
Why are so many Americans more concerned about our country looking good than they are about taking an honest look at the history?
Is there a lot of good being done by our military that we just do not hear about?
We even talk a bit about the "good" and "bad" of kneeling at the flag like Colin and how Robbie and Liz to this day are nervous about the flag touching the ground. Happy 4th of July!

355 - Girl Body Parts and a "Woker" Society? Jun 28, 2022

From joey blowing up a woman's restroom while ladies are waiting to use, to a bunch of "girl body part talk," co-hosts Liz Miller, Amy Alderman, and Ellen Mauro have "homie time" with Joey; which means listen at your own risk. Lots of "adult clowning," so get the earmuffs out for the kids.
After getting through the sh*ts and giggles, Liz expresses love and grace towards people who "do not agree with her lifestyle," and Joey proposes that society is getting more woke.

354 - A Gay Conversation: A Community Gathering of Affirming and Un-Affirming Christians Jun 28, 2022

The Bear W/ Community holds "Big Gatherings" each month; some of them like this conversation, are open to the public.
What you are hearing on this episode is one of those meetings and the beginning of regular gatherings to discuss the potential of unity amongst affirming and un-affirming Christians. With Liz Miller (Christian woman married to a woman) and Hunter Gregory (Christian man engaged to a man) as some of the main voices in this conversation, we all discuss whether it's possible to truly love a queer person without affirming his or her sexuality.
Lots of grace in this one, thrown in all directions. If you have engaged evangelicalism, you keenly understand how people land on both sides of this one. Matt Oxley, one of the co-hosts (queer himself, former evangelical) has empathy for those who do not affirm him. He sees them as "victims" of a smear campaign that's been going on for the last hundred years.
How about this one? Is it good or bad, that not one un-affirming person Joey approached to engage in this discussion, was willing to? Hunter Gregory says "that's a bunch of malarky and hogwash." (probably not his exact words)

353 - Pets, Farming, Killing Animals, Meat and Cowboys Jun 21, 2022

Any difference in shooting a barking dog verses killing a gnat for buzzing in your ear?
Pastor With No Answers Podcast partners with Tony Jones of The Reverend Hunter Podcast and Neil Dudley of Pederson Natural Farms, The Cowboy Perspective Podcast, and The Pederson Farms Podcast for an episode that will air on all three shows!
Lots of "pet talk," (can you leave a dog in the kennel all day? can you let your cat die instead of paying the vet $1000 to save her?) lots of animal and human life talk. Tony loves hunting and Neil's farm kills 1500 pigs every week, yet both have yet to be desensitized by the loss of life for the little piggies turned bacon on Neil's farm, or for Bambi's mom that Tony's bullet met right before she fell to her death.
What's the "eye lash rule" of killing animals? Has Walmart contributed to a societal flippancy towards buying and eating meat? What does "humane treatment" of animals mean anyway, and why isn't Tony a fan of that terminology? Is this something Christians should talk more about, consider more deeply? As a Christian, what are some of Neil's convictions about the treatment of animals when running a farm? Does he look after the animals' best interest in the process of "harvesting" them? Would it be unchristian not to?
Can there even be any moral implications for going around killing plants and animals, if God doesn't exist? And in that case, does this conversation even matter?

352 - Did the Church Mean to Screw Us Up? Jun 14, 2022

Were church leaders reckless, using little wisdom when standing up for and “teaching truth?” Was it an accident so many of us were messed up in the process? Co-hosts Ellen Mauro, Hayne Griffen, and Joey Svendsen mourn the lack of love and wisdom seen in church's approach to sexuality and youth, it's reluctancy to even love those with other views, and it's impulse to beat the mess out of some one who is not "one of us" any more.

My journey is full of changes in how I see God, faith, the Church and spirituality in general. I have also found church family amongst people who would be labeled "evangelical" by most.

That’s why as I mourn the hypocrisy in the "capital C church," I also cannot help but to speak on behalf of people who i have often seen live with good intent, bringing forth a lot of goodness and hope into the world.
But it’s tiring to see the church act more like Judas than Jesus; and even more bothersome? We’re being desensitized as we watch the church claim "Jesus as Lord," without following in His footsteps of love. This is a false claim and is ruining the credibility of gospel and thus the church. -- Joey

351 - You Are Helping Destroy the World by Not Taking Jesus Seriously Jun 07, 2022

Why can't Christians enjoy a "God's Kingdom first" approach to life? Could our very democracy crumble, due merely to people’s unwillingness to listen and learn about other peoples's views, convictions and beliefs?
Rev. Brandan Robertson is family of this show, author, activist and public theologian. Discussing his newest book, Filled to Be Emptied: The Path to Liberation for Privileged People, Brandan once again pulls no punches in his true desire to radically love all, taking Jesus seriously no matter what the cost. Although Rev. Brandan considers himself on the "left" (or in the "progressive camp") and speaks often against the hypocrisy of much of the evangelical right, he feels his leftest "team" gains nothing--and is even in err--when demonizing Trump voters. Brandan challenges us all to "see the face of God" in everyone.
Why do we worship ideology? Can we really call ourselves followers of Christ if we do not empty ourselves and give up privileges like he did (Philippians 2)? This passage, Brandan supposes, addresses the sacrificial responsibilities a privileged follower of Christ is called to have. Hard point to argue against. Read the verse for yourself.
Is anger good, while bitterness is not? Why are some evangelicals leaving evangelicalism while others stay, in support of a leader who goes against many of the very morals evangelicals have historically never budged on?

350 - Communism or Capitalism, Which Represents [true] Heart of the Gospel? May 31, 2022

Co-hosts Joey Svendsen and Matt Oxley hang with regular contributor Jack Hoey (the father) to discuss whether capitalism or communism is ideal in regards to morals, greed, and a more "Jesus Way" of running things.
Everyone on the show agrees on capitalism's shortcomings (and even evil of), but the disagreement at hand, is whether communism is any better. There are admirable motivations for both "sides" to promote their version of "ideal government," the various perspectives here represent a different weighting system of different values.
Did Jesus speak against capitalism? Does communism lend itself to more evil, given the more control allotted to less people, and the question remains: has it ever worked in the past?
History has spoken clearly though, no manmade system can fix human greed, undo the propensity to take advantage of others, nor stop the violence motivated often for financial gain.

349 - How Evangelicals Greatly Misunderstand "Deconstructed" Christians May 24, 2022

Katie Hays is an author, church planter, pastor, educated at MIT, Yale and Princeton: and she taught us a new word: "Fundagelical." That's what her and I (Joey) were, before going through the scary process of faith change. With her new book ("God Gets Everything God Wants") as the context, we discuss a variety of topics:
-How we were once both convinced of our narrow view of faith being the only right one.
-Accepting the bible has multiple "takes" on a particular subject and inerrancy falls a part.
-How evangelicals' "gospel news" may be incomplete
- Blame the "capital C church" needs to accept
-The "slippery slope" of deconstruction that led to our freedom
-The humility required for deconstruction.
-Rarely does one set out to deconstruct her faith.
-What the church has learned from the LGBTQ community
-The relentless faith and devoutness of a "deconstructed Christian."
-The pain of loved ones' misunderstandings of your deconstruction
- When Joey's mom was with child (with Joey), prophesies were made about Joey by a spirit-filled prayer group of Catholic women
On a "fun scale" of 1-10, this conversation was a 10 for me. -- Joey

347 - My Depressive Episode (Episode 6): They Call Me Pastor May 10, 2022

Continuing a conversation that was started on this podcast 2 years ago, part six of a series that has taken a behind the scenes look at Joey’s journey through a mental health crisis in 2019.
Joining today are four of Joey’s closest friends, Tim McAdams, Sarah Eller.
And Amy Alderman, Robbie Madison, both also co-hosts of the show.

The three reflect on his transparency leading up to this crisis and the effects it had on their processing of the situation at hand, back in 2019. They discuss whether they dealt with fear around the potential of Joey losing his life; and how they processed knowing that the friend of theirs, who was battling for his life, was also pastor of the church that all four considered their family. A true story of friendship, the power of family and the need for connection. Sarah Eller, Tim McAdams, Amy Alderman and Robbie Madison, special thanks for your love, grace and commitment to your boy.

346 - After Their Son Drowned, These Parents Say "God is Good." May 03, 2022

Adarius Gerard Jenkins
12/10/00 - 06/09/13
Son of Kip and Leenetta Smalls, brother of Kazadia Smalls
Honoring all who are mourning the loss of a loved one, during this Mother's Day 2022.
Sunday morning of June 9th 2013 started just like any other day, but by the time the sun set, a metaphorical darkness had settled in the hearts of Leenetta and Kip Smalls, as their minds were forced to grapple with the prospect of their precious 12-year-old Darius not coming back home to them on this side of heaven.
This is the story of the human experience. Not one person is in the clear from pain like this, it's always potentially right around the corner. Life gives the potential for the highest highs and unbearable lows.
What stands out in this story is the abundant, God-given peace that was received by these suffering parents, peace that guided them through the unbearable pain they weren't sure they could survive.
This is also a "2 Corinthians 1 story," one in which Paul says "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.......And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."
Just one year after their loss, Kip and Leenetta were afforded the opportunity to pass along the supernatural comfort they had received to those in similar shoes.
May this story of peace amidst such agony, be an encouragement to us all. If life turns for us in a way that brings to our hearts insurmountable pain, may we have faith in a hope that God's love for us will prevail, even if we have no eyes to see how God will do it.

345 - Sunny and Blue in My White Bubble Full of Statues Apr 26, 2022

Co-hosts Robbie Madison and Matt Oxley, join host Joey Svendsen with the original purpose of continuing a conversation from episode 340, “Courage Not to Cancel the Racist," asking the question, "what about the statues of racists?"
We accomplished this while at the same time, Joey believes the Holy Spirit moved in real time, opening his eyes to a facet of his white privilege that was sobering to see. Robbie was in an English town where actors still practice "black face" and Joey shares how he doesn't want to have the label of "woke," nor does he want to be seen as "not woke."

Thankful for my listeners who let me learn in front of them; also happy to be able to release content like today for other people who find interesting, things like the amount of money one would have to be paid in order to get a "genitalia tattoo" on his/her arm. -- Joey

344 - The Cross of Jesus Christ (Brian Zahnd) Apr 15, 2022

[with special appearances from Pete Enns, John Mark McMillan, Brandan Robertson, Jared Svendsen and Hayne Griffen]

The original intent of the episode was to get deep into the theology of the Cross of Jesus, and Brian Zahnd covered us [profoundly] in that department. We discuss with Brian how the church explains too much the “death and resurrection of Jesus,” stripping it from its beauty and power. Also how the western world, despite the profound baggage it’s delivered, also gets credit for the “Christ infused convictions” it's delivered to the world; and according to Brian, has greatly changed for the better, how we see dignity and worth in all of humanity.

What if God exists but Jesus never came and died? What kind of shit storm would we be in then? We talk Jesus’ non-violent approach to life and whether it applies to national governments. Penal substitution is what the Western church world is stuck on and according to Brian Zahnd, it’s an abhorrent theological approach to the Cross.

With a Pastor praying at the end, an interview that might as well have been the best Easter sermon ever, and testimonies galore from some of your “church fam,” this is your Easter service, "PWNA style" of course.

343 - PWNA [Ladies Edition]: Sexuality, Problem Drinking and Kicking A** Apr 11, 2022

Welcome to a new (and permanent) angle of Pastor With No Answers Podcast.

Ellen Mauro, Amy Alderman and Liz Miller, all mothers and wives, one hates her job as a stay at home mom, each medicated for anxiety and really bad OCD. One seems to be pro-violence, one swings both ways, each of them think critically enough not to cancel everyone who makes a mistake, and all three want to follow Jesus as best as she can.
We discuss Liz’s journey of being widowed for 10 years and recently getting married this past January. Liz processes with us evangelicals' perspective of her as a “broken woman" due to her gay marriage. We discuss the irony that religious organizations -- full of promiscuity, sexual scandal, and pedophilia themselves-- are the ones shouting the loudest about sexual sin.

As a PART II of this episode, Pricilla Svendsen joins Amy, Ellen and Joey to discuss different facets of "the Chris Rock getting popped by the Fresh Prince" craziness. As this discussion unfolds, it’s discovered that Amy and Ellen are going to drive one another crazy for years to come. Awesome! For starters, Amy supports corporal punishment for kids while Ellen is dumbfounded why southerners don’t call this abuse.
"Violence is wrong" -- Ellen
"Chris Rock deserved to get his ass kicked worse." -- Amy
You get the picture, right?

342 - Deconstruction? Or Just Plan Old Faith Change (w/ Derek Minor) Apr 05, 2022

Derek and I have hung out online doing podcast episodes for the last 7 years or so and we've talked very little about Christian faith. In this episode, that's the focus; Derek's faith - Joey
Deconstruction is the buzz word. Those who "deconstruct" typically demolished "static pillars" of fundamentalism and over time, new ones go up. There exists different beliefs, but same old regimented, manmade approach to spirituality.
People who sense a faith change coming on may have been living in a mindset in which certain beliefs need to be true in order for God to be real. This paves the way to an arduous road that can end in so many places.
What does Derek struggle with? Seeing the church with nuance.
What does he artistically regret? His ego in earlier work.
We learn about "Calvinist Rap" that Derek took part in for a spell, we toil with the thought of "good samaritan type people," who live a life of love and service (all the things Jesus said were most important) to all, but do not have "correct" beliefs. How in the living hell do people (i.e. John Piper) know so much about infinite God? What's it look like to be a Christian in 2022? All of this and more with fam of the podcast.
We talk J-Cole, and at the beginning of episode, Matt and Robbie help Joey process his "did I steal from Wal-Mart" situation.

341 - Memoir of a Closeted Evangelical Pastor Who Eventually had Enough. Mar 29, 2022

[At top of episode, Ellen, Ryan and Joey discuss Ryan's ignoring of God, why it's a bit morbid when a Christian asks "was he/she a believer" after some one dies, and how the church is trying to convince Ellen's friend to stay with her cheating husband because he "reads the word" and "it was only a blowjob."]

For our main talk, biographical author, George Azar, lived it and wrote a book for us to peer into his journey from leading vocational ministry as a pastor (and as a gay man) to “eventually having enough" and leaving Christianity all together. He shares his story here.

Joey and George discuss the senselessness of appealing to “traditional theology” as a standard not to evolve past for the reason of "God ever changes." This ideology seems to assume that God hasn’t anything further to say about the teachings in the bible and no more revelatory direction for humanity. Pretty boring God, if you ask me.

Joey shares how hard it was to maintain his un-affirming views of homosexuality when close friends of his shed light on her/his relationship with the Holy Spirit, the journey of diligent searching for the truth of God’s view on sexuality, and the current peace they have found in pursuing gay companionship.
George and Jack reflect on the prospect of him being an adult gay man in the very much less accepting world we lived in, just 20 years ago. Joey takes the opportunity to get a “Billy Graham Rule” critique from a gay man, the two discuss the dynamics of gay Christians fellowshipping with non-affirming ones, and Joey asks if the word “homosexual” is even appropriate terminology anymore.

Will Smith: I Took the Bait. Mar 28, 2022

BONUS EPISODE
This situation is so intriguing, if you're interested in human behavior. So much here.
But this episode is like the RobCast. There's just one person talking here. The big difference between this episode and the RobCast is that they have Rob Bell, he's smart, and has tons of answers. I have a smart therapist who has helped shape how I see humans and encouraged me to be curious about our tendency to mark people, due to certain actions, as "good" or "bad." I find this sort of categorization very UN-Christian and the less i do this to others, the more mercy and grace i have for myself. -- Joey Svendsen
*NOTE*
New listeners, this episode usually has lots of people and fun music (and stuff). This is pretty much a speech by one person.

340 - Courage to Not Cancel the Racist Mar 22, 2022

Dr. Latimore, author of “Unshakable Faith of Famous and Little Known African Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" joins co-hosts Robbie Madison and Joey Svendsen to discuss the important outlooks and insights his book delivers on.
In our diverse communities, churches, organizations and political spaces, [Black] history offers a window into the meaning of America and the opportunity to reflect and marvel at, the strength of a people who refused to be destroyed and who fought and loved their way into our nation’s story.
In this conversation, an unexpected theme is processed in real time and confirmed by Robbie and Dr. Latimore. As African American men who value their blackness and maintain passion for equality and social justice for all people, the concept of blindly "cancelling a racist" for them seems lazy, rudimentary, and contrary to the Spirit of love represented by Jesus' words "Father, forgive, for they know not.." This new "cancelling trend" in our culture basically eliminates the chances of some thing Jesus seemed pretty adamant about all of us having: new beginnings and second chances, birthed by Grace.
The book also highlights a deeper, even heart-wrenching path of grace that many have painfully walked through. Sometimes the unfairness of life (as it was for many of the saints discussed in his book) makes it is hard to keep going with soundness of mind, hope, and contentment in our hearts. Dr. Latimore shares the stories of African Americans who found all three, even in the midst of grave injustices that personally destroyed the hopes of having what many of the more privileged were able to take for granted as "simple rights" and receiving "our due."
May our hearts be changed forever by the stories of our fellowmen and women who persevered while truly walking in the footsteps of Jesus. A lesson for all mankind, especially in 2022.

339 - The Rise of Mars Hill Church: Was it Worth It? (w/ Matt Johnson) Mar 15, 2022

Matt Johnson used to live in Mark Driscoll’s basement as “one of the interns” (inside joke you’ll find out later) and eventually became an integral part of Mars Hill Church's operations and ministries, as a pastor.

On this episode, Matt and Joey reflect on Christianity Today’s The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast, including guesswork on Driscoll’s heart, ("that only God can judge") mental state and marriage.

Reflecting on the story of Mars Hill, Matt is left with a faith unshaken but a complete distrust of the competitive-driven, consumer-minded, charismatically-led model of church-planting and that model of church in general.

We discuss here the power of charisma, “spiritual narcissism,” and whether things are different at Driscoll’s new church in Phoenix. There’s also some “Driscoll Myths” debunked, including Mark’s “they’re out to get me” narrative of the "divorce." We also ask Matt if he was personally intimidated by Mark and whether he currently has empathy for him.

At the beginning of the episode, Ellen shares with Joey and Ryan Amick, her problem with alcohol.

338 - Surviving Purity Culture. As a Dude. Mar 08, 2022

What a roller coaster ride, “riding through” purity culture as a guy. I can’t imagine the beautiful world of being a teen and accepting (even embracing) sexuality (and all the feelings) as a gift to be celebrated; instead we were taught shame and guilt about one of the most natural and beautiful gifts there are. – Joey (host)

Purity culture affected the guys here in various ways. Lots of “sexually impaired marriages” and one even attributes the beginning of his drug addiction to the horrors of purity culture. And yes, we talk about real “horrors” available for every guy entering into the unforgiving (literally) world of purity culture. Parents, listen here to the perspective of Hayne’s parents who encouraged healthy ways of sexual release (i.e. masturbulatory occasions) once he hit the age of fourteen.

As far as sex in general, theologically have Christians added rules to sexuality, that never existed in the bible? Lots of questions here, but the truth be told, if evangelical purity culture’s standards are indeed correct, the mismatch between human anatomy and a goal for absolute purity, is truly overwhelming. And it has been for all generations.

Thanks, Matt, Jed Pene, and Hayne for their time given and for their transparency about embarrassing stuff.

337 - Spirit of God Hovering Over the Waters in a Formless, Empty Earth Mar 01, 2022

What if in the "Genesis 1 beginning," things had already began? What if the infamous, "In the Beginning" beginning, happens to be about one small area, guarded by an angel (Garden of Eden). S. Joshua Swamidass, MD, PhD, author of The Genealogical Adam and Eve: The Surprising Science of Universal Ancestry, challenges widely-held presuppositions held about the Genesis creation story and has put his tenure on the line for being forthright with the role that his faith plays in how he sees the world.
In this episode he talks how a plain reading of Genesis can still be supported by science. Oh yeah, and he believes in evolution. But according to Dr. Swamidass, humans still lack amazement for the good stuff.
How are we not more fascinated by existence in general? Or the existence of consciousness? He demonstrates well the ability to maintain what most of his atheist colleagues would call "good science" while still being a self-proclaimed, "Christian first, scientist second" person. And while he's here, we also manage to talk conspiracies, AI, Mars exploration and how it's hard to get ethics out of science, especially in regards to abortion.
At top of episode, Jack Hoey and Ellen Mauro defend some very cynical comments they made on a previous episode about speaking in tongues. Chip Judd challenges their views on a means of prayer he practices every day and claims to be why he is the man he is today.

335 - Politically Incorrect Dialogue About PC Culture Feb 22, 2022

[Episode is Rated R and contains offensive language, including slang for female body parts. Last thing we desire is for folks to be uncomfortable, triggered or offended. Please proceed with caution]
Co-hosts Ryan Amick and Ellen Mauro discuss some new territory on a common theme we have on this show: PC Culture.
Why is Ryan (a white, straight male) sad about not being able to say certain words? Ellen expresses skepticism for Ryan and Joey's fear of being cancelled and wonders what that would even look like for two guys who aren’t really famous.
Along the way, Joey thinks he found a “female counterpart” for the word “dick,” and don’t worry, it’s not the “p-word.” Could humans be more forgiving with people's words? Is it a thing of the past to have public, "non-cancelling" spaces for those who are genuinely ignorant but open to learning? Or what about those who truly make a mistake but have sincere regret? We discuss all this and end on the sad note of how Bill Cosby broke our damn hearts.

334 - [Part 2] Interview With Westboro Baptist Feb 15, 2022

We've heard the stories, we've seen their signs, our jaws have dropped, our stomachs have turned. Why do they do what they do? How do they reconcile their actions with the teachings of Jesus? How do they claim to practice love?
Back in August of 2020, Jack Hoey III and Joey talked to the leader of Westboro Baptist, Tim Phelps.
You can listen to that episode here (part 1).
This time around, we challenge some different practices of Westboro, including their clear “double-standard” use of scripture. Jack amongst other things, suggests that the folks at Westboro would greatly benefit from approaching the bible with more humility. Tim amongst other things, points at what he'd call clear doctrinal instructions in the bible that guide the day to day of his organization.
Joey is accompanied this time by Jack Hoey (the father) who is closer in age to Tim and quite likely as studied in scripture. Unfortunately a bit of the same result, as far as finding substantial common ground but that wasn't a surprise. This time though, Joey did manage to ask Tim if he liked him and Jack.

334 - Eastern Orthodoxy (Part 2), Moral Dilemmas & Pacifism Feb 08, 2022

[Evangelicals, on this episode, we aren’t laughing at you. The guest is too nice to do this and I’d be too much a hypocrite]

We released Eastern Orthodox Part 1 with former "rock stars (Luxury) gone Orthodox Priests" because I had no idea what the heck it meant to be orthodox and had to know. Little did I know, the episode would influence my brother (former co-host and current producer of this show) to fully convert to the best paradigm of faith he’s ever worshipped in, perfectly suited to how he’s wired up. He’s all in, I’m happy for him. -- Joey

But there’s more to the story. The Orthodox church is THE REAL church? My brother claims there’s one true church and the implications would say that most of us aren’t in it. Father Josiah Trenham Ph.d, comes on to discuss this very question. He also explains the importance of church buildings, “the invisible church doctrine” of evangelicals, how the functionality evangelicals ascribe to the “sinner’s prayer” is heresy, how Pentecostals aren’t Pentecostal enough and how prayer is the goal of life. The question is posed here also, “If the true church is infallible, why did most of its adherents take part in the American slavery?”

At top of episode, me and some friends talk moral dilemmas and pacifism.

FATHER JOSIAH TRENHAM is a native Southern Californian. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1993, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Durham, England, in 2004. He has served as pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside, Ca. since 1998. Father Josiah was married in 1988, and has ten children.

333 - All About Sex [Not Really a Christian Conversation] Feb 01, 2022

[Not a "christian" or "non-christian" conversation," nor a conversation revolving around my personal sexual ethics. Okay, now with that out of way -- Joey}

God gives graciously. Can this be seen any clearer in the sophisticated way humans are able to experience pleasure within one's very anatomy? And just like most other things, humans have managed to screw (no pun intended) this up also. Erica Smith, sex educator of 20 years, speaker, writer, consultant (including online one-on-one's) and creator of Purity Culture Drop Outcomes on to talk all things sex, some advice and insight for all.
This episode covers a variety of topics surrounding human sexuality, including the benefits of regular masturbation for men and women; and the conundrum between valuing feminine freedom and power, while hating their objectification. Is it a bummer to be asexual? Would it be helpful for people to expand the definition of what sex is? Are some people wired incompatible with monogamy?

Erica points to the Puritanical values that have been baked into the very sexual fabric of America, impacting those in and well outside of church/religious culture?

At top of episode, Robbie Maddison, Hayne Griffith and Joey Svendsen talk vaccines as Joey shares the very close call his mother had a few weeks ago with that there COVID-19.

Professor at Duke, best-selling author, podcast host of Everything Happens Podcast, is a self-identified “incurable optimist" who is very candid in her dealings with personal life-altering pain and how God fits into (or does not fit into) the equation.
As she shares her story, listeners can acquire new lenses for how they see and process pain, suffering and God. For example, what if sufferers can benefit from relinquishing the desire to find “a deeper reason” for their suffering? The discussion also gets into some theology, especially concerning the inconceivable perceptions of God that most Christians share when it comes to salvation, mercy and love.

At top of episode, Robbie Madison, Hayne Griffen, and Joey talk Cobra Kai’s beautiful inappropriateness, Robbie gets mushy talking about Joey as a pastor, and there’s a little crying by all as the hosts discuss some experiences with grief, the stupid things that overly spiritual people say to those who suffer, and why grace can still be given. And why does God seem to never heal people? Does praying ever work? (Special note: If you are easily offended by “race joking,,” including Joey's offensive word for white people, avoid this portion. Robbie is one of Joey’s best friends, happens to be a black; and best friends cut up and clown.)

331 - No More White Churches For Me (w/ Dante Stewart) Jan 18, 2022

At top of the episode, Joey’s pastor Josh Surratt joins to talk about big church buildings, whether he’s comfortable with Joey’s different approaches to Christian faith, if he’d like to be a celebrity pastor and if there's anything he dislikes about the church he leads.
Within white evangelical church cultures, many black people have found their voices and convictions unvalued. It's a very ugly truth but many white, evangelical churches embrace black membership and even love “the look” of having black leadership. But once black leaders use their God-given leadership and insight to influence – or at the very least – to share their hearts with white people, it’s viewed as "stepping out of line," even sinful.
Dante Stewart, former defensive back of God’s favorite college football team, Clemson Tigers, wrote a book called “Shoutin’ in the Fire: An American Epistle;in which he shares his reasons for permanently leaving white evangelicalism, why it’s not his job to help white people change, and ways to help us all reimagine spiritual virtues like rage, resilience, and remembrance, exploring how these might function as a work of love against an unjust, unloving world. How's that for a run-on sentence!

330 - A Christian Universalist agrees: “No Way to the Father But By Son.” Jan 10, 2022

Author and Theologian, Sharon Putt (formerly Sharon Baker), Chip Judd and host, Joey Svendsen all have similar spiritual upbringings but Sharon and Joey believe in a Christ-centered universal salvation.
It’s one thing to reject this belief, another thing for a Christian to say the bible doesn’t support it. One's view of scripture may "clearly say anything" he think it says, but what is his view about the (seemingly clear) passages that discus humanity and all of earth being redeemed. We discuss God and love, in context of the afterlife; and whether there had to be an adversary for us to be able to truly love and chose God. Joey pushes back on the very common and sensible objection of “you’re defining God and love by your own standards.” Both Sharon and Chip are very biblically studied and Chip has never considered Jesus saving everyone.

329 - S.C. Rounding up Firing Squad to Execute Bad Guys (w/ Shane Claiborne) Jan 02, 2022

I had no idea the direction my home state was heading in. Our government is making some adjustments to their “capital punishment policies,” which includes (yes, you read right) a firing squad. We talk about this while Shane shares the correlation between capital punishment and slavery. According to Shane, this issue can’t be separated by race. We talk the theological and moral implications of all this and dispel of some assumptions held by more conservatively-wired folks.

330 - Me, Myself, My Faith, Music, and Redneck Family (w/ BlackSheep Pod) Dec 21, 2021

Host Joey Svendsen was on the BlackSheep Podcast to talk about himself for an hour. Hosts of BlackSheep, Mason and Cullen, ask Joey what he believes and what music he’s listening to and they were wonderful in allowing us to release this on our channel as well.
Joey goes into the history of Pastor With No Answers and how it represents a biographical synopsis of all the ways he’s changed in his faith. And God forbid any one admit he is a Christian mainly due to spiritual experiences/encounters.
Joey is a true music snob (so he’s told) and shares his 10 favorite Christmas songs, what five albums influenced his musical tastes, why Emery stood out to him during pop-screamo’s heyday, and how Underoath’s freshman release album was the only UO material he listened to. Make sure you stick around for the outtakes of the Mars Hill spoof.

329 - December 25th is a Bad Day to Lose Your Mom Dec 14, 2021

How do you ever have a "normal feeling Christmas" again when on that one Christmas morning, you woke up to the news Rian Fuller woke up to.
On Christmas of 2015, Rian lost her best friend Karen Bessinger, who just happened to be the one who gave her birth. Here we discuss whether or not Christmas is "redeemable" for Rian again; and we wonder why the hell couldn't God have just picked a different day to take her mom home? Maybe September 14th? Or how about January 14th?
Christmas is expected to be -- and treated by the masses -- as the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year," but for those who suffered great loss in recent prior years, this is impossible. And this tension between "happy holidays" and grief, is utterly painful, so I'm told.
The pain of this world, the untimely loss of one you call mother and friend, in this episode we reflect on life, loss, and eternal perspective. There's also some mysterious "post death interactions" that will have you supernatural romantics smiling and crying, while the logical, boring people will roll eyes in skepticism. HA! Love to all. Merry Christmas.
And we mourn with those who mourn. We pray more peace for all mankind. The kind that passes all understanding.
Rest in Peace
Karen Bessinger
January 26, 1964 -
Dec 25th 2015.
Special thanks to Rian Fuller for sharing her life (and the life of her mom's) with us.

At top of episode, Joey proposes some double-standards to co-hosts Matt Oxley and Ellen Mauro, in how male "body-part slang," like the word "d*ck" is acceptable for casual use while the female "body-part slang word" "p***y," isn't.
Brian Allain has partnered with the likes of Diana Butler Bass, Brian McLaren and Shane Claiborne to actually try and bring Christians from all spectrums (fundamentalists and progressives) together, aligned in love. They (plus others) all compiled some essays on how we can do it in How to Heal Our Divides: a Practical Guide. Brian and I discuss with special guest-host, Andy Squyres, the reasons for division, we reflect on the lost art of seeing humans as complicated, we look at how our beliefs in the afterlife dictate the rest of our practices, and ponder whether or not the late Rachel Held Evans (or you fill in the blank with your favorite "neighborhood progressive") was in the same "body of Christ" as Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham (or you fill in the blank with your favorite "neighborhood fundamentalist.")

327 - Jenn Johnson, Co-Founder and President of Bethel Music Nov 30, 2021

With eight hundred staff members, 1000 students, Bethel Church / Music (based out of Redding California) is a household name in the evangelical church world. Jenn just wrote a book, “All Things Lovely: Inspiring Health and Wholeness in Your Home, Heart, and Community.” In the context of this book, we talk supernatural healings, antidepressants, importance of church community, and holistic health. Joey also asks her questions about eternal punishment, “grave soaking,” and the celebrity culture that is so common in today’s church world.
At top of episode, Matt Oxley and Ellen Mauro discuss a major problem in today's youth and Ellen challenges Joey's negative use of the word "woke." If being "woke" is awakening to social injustices, that's never a bad thing. Right?

326 - Panic Attacks Will Knock You on Your Aspirin Bottle Nov 21, 2021

From the ages of six to 26, Ashley Broderick has persevered through chronic panic disorder without the guidance of any healthcare professional or the assistance of antidepressants. Now the mother of two (one high schooler) with more knowledge and coping skills, and now also incorporating the help of the mental health profession, she has acquired great strength and made great strides of health. Without an act of God, however, this will always be a part of her battle. We’ll call it “Ashley’s Thorn” (cool band name, you’re welcome).

Panic attacks are brutal, but listeners may not know the extent of how intense they can be, how long the effects can be intrusive, and how violent the anxiety can become. During the pandemic, Ashley witnessed the many anxiety flare ups in others, due to all the employment/economy and health uncertainties; and realized they were all experiencing [in 2020] what her day to day feels like all the time.
From thinking her baby is being kidnapped in the room next door to turning the car around so she can help a child she accidentally hit (that she knows she didn’t accidentally hit), Ashley also shares the culprit of childhood trauma that is a major contributing factor to why she struggles like this. She is an example of one who seeks out help from the mental health profession, but also can't make it through all of this without faith in her Maker.

Special thanks to Ashley Broderick for sharing your story and offering solidarity to those who suffer with mental illness. -- PWNA Team

325 - A Case for the Mega Church Nov 16, 2021

James Wellman with us today to talk about his newest book, High on God: How Mega Churches Have Won the Heart of America. Most would have Wellman in the "progressive Christian" camp, he began his research assuming his cynicism about Mega Churches would be vindicated and that he'd find that these things should go away for good. Instead, he discovered that Mega Churches generally provide a healthy sense of belonging to its members and typically contribute a lot of good into their surrounding communities. Do these churches help meet emotional needs? Are evangelicals a more generous bunch than their progressive counterparts? Here’s a very practical and simple explanation for keeping Mega Churches around.

At the top of the episode, Matt Oxley, Ellen Mauro and Joey Svendsen discuss their former fundamentalism, why Matt’s not a Christian anymore and why a "universalistic salvation" evangelistic message would be the most effective gospel message, even if it wasn’t true.

324 - Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation Nov 09, 2021

New York Times best-selling author, Kristin Kobes Du Mez wrote Jesus and John Waynewhich is "a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism and reveals how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism―or in the words of one modern chaplain, with a 'spiritual badass.’” She claims the key to understanding this transformation is recognizing the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism.

Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of history at Calvin University and the author of A New Gospel for Women. She has written for the Washington Post, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and Religion & Politics, among other publications. Recently she's been a major contributing voice on Christianity Today's The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast.

Here we talk about the historical timeline of how culture has viewed gender, how these views have changed through the years, and how the sort of American nationalism we currently see is fairly a new thing (1970s). We talk the role John Eldredge’s “Wild at Heart” book played into this mess, the great harm of "the Billy Graham Rule" and how institutionally, the church really isn't tending towards healthier postures with gender.

323 - Intimacy (with that special some one) Without Sex? Nov 02, 2021

We all know people can survive to the next day, without having sex of any kind. But in a romantic relationship, is sex an integral part of getting close? What if sex is physically impossible? The good stuff people are looking for in "sexual intimacy," can it also be found in non-sexual acts that are exclusive to our partner?
Ellen doesn’t really care about having sex. Joey likes sex but he is getting old, so he likes it less. Hayne likes sex, but his lovely wife is going through chemo treatments, so it’s been a bit bare. Hayne passes along some wisdom from his grandma and rocks Joey and Ellen’s world. In the words of Ellen Mauro, “this was the most epic sex conversation she’s ever had.” Hopefully it's helpful to others too. Thanks, Hayne!

322 - [All About] Demons Oct 28, 2021

Michael S. Heiser, a biblical scholar, author (“The Unseen Realm”) and podcaster, (“The Naked Bible Podcast) just released his newest non-fiction book, “Demons: What the Bible Really Says About the Powers of Darkness.” In this conversation (and in his new book), he debunks popular presuppositions, myths and traditions about these real powers of darkness. So Satan was NOT the worship leader of heaven?

Here we talk about three distinct demonic rebellions and their significances and ponder on why God didn't just smoke the demons in the first place. We learn the difference between principalities and demons and whether or not Joey’s great-grandfather saw these little bastards, nearing the end of his life.

We also manage to fit in some dialogue about after-life theories, foreknowledge and predestination, free will, open theology and whether the sex between the "sons of god demons" and human women was consensual.

321 - Supernatural Encounters? You Be the Judge Oct 26, 2021

Real people, real friends, real stories. Was it supernatural? You get to make the call. Did Pastor Chip Judd stop a demon from bullying his wife? Did Joey and his brother call a spirit out of the supernatural realm when they were teens? Did God send a little girl’s father back for last good-byes? Did God interact with a missions team in Haiti, through flood lights and a shooting star? Did Ellen have a demon in her room as a little girl? Did our other two guests witness demon possession or a severe mental episode? What’s the relation (if any) between the two?

320 - Woke Culture Gone Wild Oct 19, 2021

Joey is feeling like an out of touch, inappropriate at times, old grandpa. Talking it over with co-hosts Ellen Mauro and Jed Payne, the question at hand is: does the woke culture need to wake up and stop some of its irrational shananigans or does Joey just need to catch up and grow up?
Throughout this episode, Joey also makes a rare "be a Patron of the podcast" pitch and let's you in on various new perks of the new giving tier, The Collection Plate. You'll hear some examples of patron-only perks, including two "PWNA Style" devotions and clips from a patron-exclusive Q/A with the 1946 Movie Team to discuss a biblically-affirming view on the LGBTQ+ community (with special contributions from Pricilla Svendsen and Pastor Chip).
You'll also hear clips from an unreleased "Podcumentary" telling the story of a "community experiment" Joey conducted in 2019 that is birthing a new online community.

319 - The Ugly Little Secret About "Nice Christian Girls." Oct 14, 2021

All hell is breaking loose now in "Evangelical-Land" as more women speak out authoritatively and aren't taking huge strides to be nice about it. Does Jesus call us to more than niceness?
Author, Pastor and full of that Ph to the D, Sharon Hodde Miller has navigated the treacherous waters of being a woman and a pastor, while living in the south. We discuss her book "Nice: Why We Love to be Liked and How God Calls us to More," as she lays out how christian women, especially leaders and those with influence, have been rewarded and lauded over the years for their "niceness." It's even been the most lucrative posture for a woman to take in the Christian market of speaking gigs and book sales.
Sharon has a knack for being patient and gracious to those with different backgrounds with varying theological views; and highlights the importance of unity, despite differing opinions on important theological matters. In other words, she fits right in with the PWNA fam. "Jesus didn't broad brush people and we shouldn't either. " -- Sharon
Why did Jesus choose 12 dudes and not one woman? Why are the badass women in the bible to this day not given the badass credentials that are due to them?
All this and more, good friends.

318 - [Bad] Bible Teachings Help Fuel Human Trafficking? Oct 12, 2021

Author (“Women Rising”) and Podcaster, (Faith and Feminism Podcast) Meghan Tschanz, was fully invested in ministry work when she found herself no longer able to go with the “evangelical flow" of how women were treated and how their role in this world was characterized "biblically."
And once she saw the connection between traditional church views on female roles and the violence and trafficking of women in general, it couldn't be unseen; now she feels compelled once and for all, to live a life of speaking out, putting her convictions over “keeping the peace” with evangelicalism.
During this conversation, Meghan talks about the damage women have sustained over the years by traditional patriarchal translations of scripture. Through many current views of scripture, women are pressured to take responsibility for the sexual attention (even unwanted advances) their bodies attract instead of teaching men to have self-control. Men are taught that “power over women” is good and admirable. It shows she respects you. Hell, the church even taught Joey to objectify woman. It was probably accidental, but all the same.
God’s beautiful word in the hands of mankind can be a dangerous thing, folks.
Forced genital mutilation is an epidemic and needs to be stopped. How conservative families struggle through and respond to a member entertaining more progressive viewpoints. How men can use the bible to keep power.

Meghan explains why despite the glaring patriarchal context of scripture, the point of scripture has always been to liberate people. All people. All genders.
Stay tuned, in two days, we'll have Sharon Hodde Miller.

Joey, in this brand new episode fresh after reading Faith After Doubt, probes many topics including the uneasiness Christians have when people find some truth in other religions, whether Christian leaders use fear to control "flocks," and how our beliefs about God will most certainly affect how we represent God and God’s kingdom.

Brian McLaren is committed to Jesus now more than ever, but equally more than ever, is staunchly opposed to Christianity being supreme over all over religions. Brian also updates us on the upcoming follow up to “Faith After Doubt,” “Do I Stay Christian” (release Spring 2022)."

Ellen, Jed and Joey discuss masturbation, how their church-upbringings addressed sex in youth ministry and how church leaders 20 years ago, tried to use Joey’s “yet to be conceived” daughters to scare him from porn viewing/addiction.

Ellen, Jack and Joey kick things off talking about that eternal place of torment, Joey making a case for the "obvious and logical unfairness" of any one being eternally separated from God. The mere thought of this doctrine seems to make a mockery out of passages that claim God’s mercy to be everlasting.

Dr. John Dickson, scholar, author, documentarian, and podcaster from Australia just released his newest book, "Bullies and Saints: An Honest Look at the Good and Evil of Christian History” and believes we may be living in the darkest age of Christianity ever. At the end of our conversation, he explains why.
During this conversation, Dr. John walks us through a historical look at the church, a history full of bullies and saints, atrocious evils, and selfless activism that changed the course of history, making the world a much better place forever. From carrying out the Crusades to initiating the abolishment of slavery, the church has seen its share of both bullies and saints.

Ellen, Jack and Joey kick things off with a conversation about speaking in tongues. Joey thinks he speaks in tongues and is just fine with not being sure.
Derek Webb has raised the eyebrows of many Evangelical Christians through the years, many of them huge fans of his prolific (former) Christian band, “Caedmon’s Call.” We’ve seen this a hundred times. One of our “Christian heroes” starts to express doubt and maybe makes a controversial statement every now and then; next thing we know, our hero has deconstructed his faith, gotten a divorce and probably behind the scenes, tortures little kittens.
Only Derek knows the ends and outs of his story, but on this episode, he invites us in to hear about it too. This includes his journey that landed him into this new space of re-investigating his faith. Derek now works at a church and is married to a singer and musician of a worship band. And he's traded in "beliefs" for hypotheses.
Joey takes this opportunity to put Jack Hoey on the spot to share with Derek the season of time in which Derek, Mark Driscoll and Rob Bell were the three main faces on Jack’s “Mount Rushmore" of Christian influencers.
Derek is one hell of a dude and is writing a new album, “The Jesus Hypothesis,” in which he’s reconsidering the possible implications of Jesus’ life, teachings and resurrection.

The story of my depressive disorder in 2019 is profoundly incomplete without including a narrative of my departure from the BadChristian Podcast and community. On this episode, I include insight from friends and family, recounting a story of great loss as well as my journey from brokenness to health. Or let’s just say healthIER. – Joey

BadChristian Podcast and community was started in 2013 by Matt Carter, Toby Morrell (of the band Emery) and friend, Joey Svendsen (pastor of a church in South Carolina). Brutally honest and often irreverent Christian podcasts like this are now a dime a dozen but at the time, “BC POD” occupied a unique space, and as a result of its quick rise in popularity, proved to be a vibe that many Christians had an appetite for. The three aforementioned hosts were not only co-workers but also good friends.
Unfortunately, all humans are flawed and sometimes, even when motivated by the best intentions, relationships get broken to an extent in which they aren’t salvageable. Joey shares his take on the “break up story” with his friends and co-hosts; the first (and hopefully only) situation of this kind he’s ever had to walk through.

314 - Dear Earthling, We Are All We Got (w/ Propaganda) Sep 07, 2021

Jason Petty (known as Propaganda) joins Joey and his friend Robbie Madison who are fresh off of reading Prop’s new book, "Terraforming.” With this book as the backdrop, the three discuss why people do evil and ponder if humans can actually be evil. Prop describes how culture is made and how we, the Earthlings, can turn the tide and go in a better direction. He maintains an intriguing vibe of optimism (that Joey is jealous of) with his belief in the possibility of making a better world. The three also discuss how the "Gen Z kids" are bringing in a new wave of love and acceptance, and they reflect on September 11th 2001.

312 - Burning Secular CDs for Jesus (w/ @Shama4realz) Aug 31, 2021

Sometimes we need to take a deep breath and laugh at how silly we all can be. From church conferences to pastors’ smoking hot wives, from “prom songs for Jesus” worship songs and ridiculous pastor jokes to every church wanting a black worship leader, comedian Shama4realz and Joey poke fun of, laugh at and lament about church culture.

311 - Pastoring an Evangelical Church after Deconstructing (w/ Abbey Norman) Aug 24, 2021

Pastor, author and bartender, Abby Norman, shares Joey’s zeal for loving people right where they're at, both seeing the Christian faith through more progressive lenses and are in fellowship with (and in shepherding roles with) those who are more conservative.
Abby shares some of her experiences in life, including the story that led to her writing, “You Can Talk to God Like That: The Power of Lament to Save Your Faith.” She shares the time when she grasped God's acceptance of the emotion of anger, even when directed at Him; and how this realization sealed the deal in her being a Christian from that point on. Joey shares how his current positioning in ministry is a more unique space than what his involvement was in the BadChristian Podcast.

At top of episode, Jack, Ellen and Joey talk deconstruction. Jack used to be a Calvinist and Ellen is in an uncomfortable season of rethinking the bible. Joey wonders if the influx of progressive Christian faith may be the beginning of a new reformation. Jack says “hell no” (my words, not his) to that theory.

Podcaster (Bible for Normal People), Author (Sin of Certainty, Exodus for Normal People, How the Bible works and more), bible scholar (PhD) and just a heck of a dude, Pete Enns tries to answer tons of dumb-ass theology questions from the mind of Joey Svendsen. Some themes that come out of this one: mystery of the afterlife, the importance of the resurrection, how systematic theology is broke, The Message Bible, some of Jesus’ limitations and a different way to look at the story of Adam and Eve. How’s that for a jam packed episode!

309 - “The Billy Graham Rule” Dissected and Debated Aug 12, 2021

Regulars to the show, Chip Judd (30+ years counseling experience) and Ellen Mauro debate and discuss the risks of spending "alone time" with the opposite gender in date-like scenarios, car rides, closed doors, out of town business trips. Is this playing with fire? Or is this a dated policy that churches need to abort from, so females can stop feeling like they are merely hot-bodies, dangerous, predatory, male-slaying dragons?

308 - My Depressive Episode (Part 4): Our Pastors Walked With Us & the Mental Institution Aug 10, 2021

Here's to friends and hope. Joey and Pricilla reflect on Joey’s mental health crisis of 2019 with their pastors and friends, Josh and Lisa Surratt; these two who were in their corner, up close and personal like very few were. Josh and Lisa reflect on the sense of urgency they felt in prioritizing Joey’s health and as their leaders, doing whatever was in their power to keep him safe.
During this time Joey’s brain wasn’t processing thoughts in a healthy manner (major understatement). Fear of losing his job equated in fear of losing the house. The Surratts are the leaders of the church Joey is employed at so he [Josh] fielded a lot of Joey’s irrational questions pertaining to these fears. Lisa, a seasoned healthcare professional, wanted Joey to admit himself into the hospital right away. Joey eventually ended up there for a week, and he shares what that time looked and felt like.

Brian McLaren also joins to converse with Joey who shares the role Brian played in his eventual full recovery.

307 - How to Have an Enemy (w/ Melissa Florer-Bixler) Aug 03, 2021

Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa Florer-Bixler, talks about her newly released book, How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace. She explains why she is an "empathy skeptic" and how she can have rage for some one like President Trump while still wanting him to be free, as there's no healing that comes from a desire to see one punished. She poses an important question: what are some justice-related issues that Christians can agree to disagree on and what issues are universally intolerable and incongruent to the gospel of Jesus Christ?
“We need a radical reorientation to the reign of God.” -- Melissa
That sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? Umm, YES.

At the top of the episode, Joey, Ellen Mauro and Hayne Griffin discuss their issues with the word "heresy" and how the bible isn’t age-appropriate for kids. Hayne shares a story in which Bill Hybels "came to the rescue for women" and Ellen shares a spiritual awakening she’s walking through in how one can’t go wrong with focusing on Jesus’ love while also having critical eyes for everything outside of Jesus. Joey thinks he used to be brainwashed by Mark Driscoll.

306 - What If the Gospel is WAY Better News Than We Think? (w/ Andy Squyres) Jul 27, 2021

[Theme song not included, all music on this episode by Andy Squyres]

“Joey Svendsen here. This is a conversation for the ages for me and the epitome of where I’m at in how I view my faith, God and my church . May we all accept the freedom from our arrogance. May we strive to progress in our love."

Musician/song-writer Andy Squyres discusses with Joey the following post he made on his Instagram:
The good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is always given by people who only partially understand it, and it is received by people who probably know a little less. The preaching of the Gospel is the active work of displaying our partial understanding (or misunderstanding) of God to those who also have only a partial understanding. There is no systematic theology or statement of belief which provides ultimate understanding of God.
It is not impossible to understand the Gospel, but it is never accurate to claim to have all understanding of it. All communication of Christ IS the communication of our limited understanding of him. Or in other words, it is the bold proclamation of our misunderstanding.
The communication of the Gospel, whether by word or deed, can in no way happen perfectly
because the God story can only come through imperfect vessels with limited understanding.
This is the brilliance of God and is a testimony to his reliance on patient love rather than on control. His good news always travels by imperfect means and yet it never stops producing peace. This isn’t to say that all presentations of the gospel are on equal footing or that we should never wrestle through theological systems of thought. We should always seek the face of Christ in order to see him better. But we can trust that God’s grace is sufficient at the point of our limited understanding and we can rely on the fact that he is the author and finisher of our faith.
So who is the preacher you don’t like? What is the church, mega church, denomination that you have proclaimed judgement upon? I have my list. I am guilty of holding court in my mind and pronouncing guilty verdicts on many different communities of faith who have come to different conclusions that I have. This is arrogance which came to set us free from. In the Church, we are witnessing a massive “leaving church” movement and I can actually see the justification for it, but I worry that there is no place to go. Because here is the actual truth: hypocrisy abounds EVERYWHERE. There is no human community that has eradicated hypocrisy from its midst. Progress in love is our only aim.

305 - Unraptured: How End Times Theology Gets It Wrong (w/ Zach Hunt): Jul 20, 2021

So many of us evangelicals (current or former) have done it. We thought the rapture happened, can’t find our Christian loved-ones, so we call our born-again, spirit-filled grandma. If the rapture happened, she’d be gone! We sigh a deep relief when she answers, “Hey, sweetie.”
End times theology, the book of Revelation, the mark of the beast, the tribulation, a 1000-year reign, the Left Behind series and that “scary-ass” 70s movie they made us watch in youth group. Author and theologian, Zach Hunt, says “not so fast, the book of Revelation is about liberation and hope.” He shares with Jack Hoey and Joey Svendsen the content he wrote in his book, Unraptured: How End Times Theology Gets It Wrong . Did Paul and Jesus think God was coming back in their lifetime? How is a belief in the rapture anti-biblical? Oh, yeah and what is it about Dolly Parton and Tom Hanks that make them both perfect candidates for the Anti-Christ.

304 - Pro-Choice or Pro-Life (Part 2): "Christian, Pro-Choice" w/ Melissa Florer-Bixler Jul 13, 2021

Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa F-B, joins to talk about what she calls “reproductive justice.” Is a living embryo an actual living person? Is it mere tissue waste? “No” and “no,” according to Melissa. We discuss these matters and reflect on a truth that many evangelical Christians do not want to face: their pro-life stances are actually conditional and far from consistent. Just ask a beautiful (and desperate) couple who went the in vitro fertilization route, were successful, but have additional frozen embryos that will never be used. What does a consistent pro-life stance look like and what sorts of hypocrisies are currently rampant in those who claim pro-life? Within discussions along these lines, is there an important distinction between human life and personhood?

At the top of the episode, Joey talks with friends Ellen Mauro and Hayne Griffen about whether the "woke culture" wants to eliminate gender differences. Joey embarrassingly reflects on how he didn't want his son to say "whoopsies" back in 2012 because it sounded too feminine and Ellen doesn't let her daughter say "panties."

303 - Pro-Choice or Pro-Life (Part 1): Pro-Grace Jul 08, 2021

While some people call ProGrace.org “Pro-Life Lite,” others label it as teetering on pro-choice. Angie Weszely and her organization (Pro-Grace) takes heat from both sides, and as you’ll hear in this episode, Angie doesn’t believe Jesus would own either label. He always starts with grace, and this seems to be something unfortunately lacking in many hearts of those in the pro-life camp. Co-host Ellen Mauro, who considers herself a “pro-life liberal” and one who is pro-life but votes pro-choice, joins us to talk about perhaps the most polarizing and potentially heated issues of the century.
ProGrace.org is a movement that offers training and other resources founded on a belief for God to give us a creative solution based on His wisdom and provision - and His love for BOTH the woman and the child.

302 - What if God Shows Justice by Healing (not Punishment) Jul 06, 2021

One of the sensei’s of deconstruction, Phil Drysdale, brings history, psychology, and philosophy into the “deconstruction conservation.” Joey processes how he feels God graciously treats people who lose their faith. Phil supposes that no one chooses to walk away from God and how those who stop believing are usually the ones who followed Christianity with the most zeal. Could we all just be doing the best we can with what we’ve been given? Are really bad things typically done with good intentions? All people think they’re the good guys but we’re all a mess. What if God administers justice by healing us all?
At the top of the episode, Ellen and Joey welcome a new guest host, Hayne Griffen to talk suicide, masturbation and how Christianity has robbed women of body autonomy.

301 - The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Church: Commentary and Reflections Jun 29, 2021

Christianity Today released episode one of a podcast series that narrates and reflects on the rise and fall of the late Mars Hill Church in Seattle, formerly led by Pastor Mark Driscoll.

Dr. Tony Jones (former friend of Mark Driscoll), who appears on this documentary, joins us alongside Ellen Mauro (remained a part of the Mars Hill Church family until the very end) and Jack Hoey (former admirer of Mark Driscoll) to discuss the content of this new documentary series. Are pastors with similar track records as Driscoll's, aware of the harm they are causing? Are they hearing from God? If not, do they believe they are? Did anything good happen at Mars Hill Church, considering what we now know? We reflect on these questions and propose a few more: If one is known for his charisma, should this disqualify her from leading a church? Is evangelicalism’s main vehicle entrepreneurialism?
So many people who loved and sacrificed for the church community of Mars Hill are still hurting to this day. Many of them are still asking, “How did I not see what was really happening?”

300 - Celebrating 300 Episodes! w/ Mars Hill, My Wife, Westboro, Grief & Legalism Jun 15, 2021

Over the years, Pastor With No Answers has had a big tent, allowing for a wide array of perspectives, some of which would get your ass canceled by the liberals and others getting you completely cancelled by the conservatives.
The intent of this podcast however has always been to be a platform for people, not a position. A podcast where real people share their real journeys and utilize a public space to share candidly, raw and honest personal reflections, right or wrong, for better or for worst. It's a "pro people's podcast" that operates with the following belief:
If we can find a common ground of love, we can also find a way to learn from one another and change personally for the better.
Today, as we celebrate 300 episodes, representing the hearts and souls of people, we relive key moments of 5 different episodes that represent why this podcast exists (enjoy some fun, pivotal and light-hearted moments in between these five focal points):
Episode 11:
A pastor who didn’t want us to air this episode, offended by the vulgarity we discussed. We ended up airing the episode, keeping him anonymous and voice disguised.

Episode 251:
Interview with a leader at Westboro Baptist “Church”

Episode 120:
Joey’s and Pricilla recounting the day Pricilla flew out to say her last good-byes to her ailing father. Joey implored Pricilla before her departure, to make sure her dad is saved, so he wouldn't spend eternity in hell. They two discuss that sort of "christian thinking" and how Joey has changed in how he sees these things.

Episodes 74 and 81:
Mars Hill Women, in the context of love, speak out on the atrocities of Mark Driscoll.
**Joey also processes his current processing of being connected to leadership who endorses Mark Driscoll's continued leadership in ministry. **

Episode 150:
After doing everything "by the book" (i.e. Bible), a father faces the prospect of God's promises not working the way he always believed they would.

Thank you so much, listeners!

299 - "I Used to Try and De-gay People" -- today's guest Jun 08, 2021

Randy Thomas (former leader at Exodus International) has been a Christian for most of his life. Early in life, after living as a gay man for years, he was convinced that he could no longer continue living in what he perceived to be a life of sin. Not only did he fight his same-sex attraction, he became one of the top leaders at Exodus International, a nationally-acclaimed organization where Christians were sent to either undo their “gayness” or learn how to have victory through celibacy.
Fast forward 30 years and Randy is back out of the closet, engaged to a man and deeply regrets his involvement at Exodus. He still prioritizes his faith and is a committed follower of Christ. No matter your feelings or beliefs surrounding this conversation, all listeners are encouraged to hear a sincere man’s true story. The spirit of a human. May we walk together in love.

298 - Pain Can Always Be Good (a Sermon from the Answerless Pastor) Jun 01, 2021

Every now and then, I give you a message that I had the opportunity to share with the local group of believers I get to be a part of. In this message, I talk about pain, investigate the blessing that comes out of pain, hypothesize on the choices we have when we encounter pain, and submit to you that in a person's own journey of pain, we typically have very little business trying to talk some one out of their pain. Can I say pain one more time?
I also answer some questions that many of you have had when it comes to my pastoring in a southern evangelical culture where I find myself seeing the world very differently than many of my church family members.

297 - Humanizing the Human Trafficker May 25, 2021

David Zach, professional musician and song-writer (his music is heard throughout this episode), works for a non-profit, The Exodus Road, who are on the front lines of the fight to end human trafficking. There's currently 40 million people, some still infants, who are enslaved and David has drank, smoked, laughed, and talked music with traffickers only to see them arrested the next day. His reaction to seeing them brought to justice may surprise you.
Rollercoaster of an emotional episode, we discuss the accessibility of websites that give American "consumers" instructions on how and who to make the connections with, in order to have sex with kids overseas. We compare modern-day slavery to the transatlantic slavery of the 16th to 19th centuries. We grapple with humanizing the Apostle Paul, Thomas Jefferson and the very traffickers David has spent time with, despite their views, and/or practices in enslaving fellow humans. We marvel at the bravery he's observed in the very teen girls who are stuck in sex trafficking and learn how we can all be a part of opposing this dark and rampant, evil side of humanity.

296 - Deconstruction Used to Be Called Back-Sliding (w/ Mason Mennanga) May 18, 2021

Joey processes his worship of comfort and how he believes more money would make him happier. Chip Judd, John Mark McMillan and Joey’s therapist chime in to surprisingly validate some of these sentiments.
Joey, with Podcaster and Theologian, Mason Mennanga, reflect on being fundamental church kids “back-sliding” into a new world of “secular music,” they discuss whether some Christians enjoy the thought of "bad people" going to hell and they both share how they view, interact with, and love fundamentalists who have confused Republicanism with the Kingdom of God.

295 - God Has Never Been Violent May 09, 2021

Are Old Testament stories allegorical? Is there really no chance of eternal torment? If a loving God exists (and every one on this episode believes this) what are the chances of dirt naps for all of us when we die? Was God never violent? Bible scholars, Pastor Heath Bradley and Mason Mennenga process and discuss, in a conversation that covers tons of intriguing questions.

294 - I'm Gay and “in Fellowship” With Un-affirming Christians May 01, 2021

Last Sunday, for the Seacoast Church weekend message, Joey and Pricilla joined founding pastor Greg Surratt to tell their story of Joey’s mental health crisis (2019). Joey implores the church to humanize pastors and Pricilla shares some "do's" and don't's" when interacting with people who are struggling mentally. We kick this episode off, sharing this recording which includes audio from a "bumper video" Joey also helped in.

And for the “main event,” Joey’s friend Hunter Gregory is gay, relatively conservative in his faith and politics, and is “in fellowship” with Christians who are not in alignment with his sexuality. He shares why he does this and also where he draws the line.

293 - Christians Are Not Entitled to Get Offended or Stay Angry Apr 25, 2021

Today’s guest, Brant Hansen, wrote a book called “Unoffendable.” He suggests that the idea of having “righteous anger” is a myth and not biblical. There's much peace to be found by recognizing the jacked up state of this world and adjusting expectations accordingly. And it's the right way, according to Brant.
Guest co-host Jory Micah provides some valuable pushback to round out the discussion. What about Jesus flipping tables? What about the pissed off prophets? What about the mother of an innocently slain child?

At the beginning of the episode, Ellen Mauro, Jack Hoey III and Joey discuss ableism as Joey thinks society as a whole is way too sensitive about the use of words.

292 - Downfall of Bill Hybels, Fixing Toxic Church Cultures, and Being “TOV” Apr 18, 2021

SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH YOUR PASTOR. YES, I'M YELLING.
Prolific theologian and author Scot Mcknight, along with his daughter Laura Barringer, recently released a book called “TOV" (TOV means “good” in Hebrew). This book was written partly as a response to the downfall of Bill Hybels, pioneering mega-Church Pastor of Willow Creek Church; but it is also a general exhortation for all churches to promote and follow “TOV leaders,” those with fullness of total moral behavior.
Co-host Chip Judd, Scot Mcknight and Joey discuss Bill Hybels' fall, toxic leadership culture in churches, and why pastors better take their damn masks off. Like, right now. Take them off.
Is there a solution to all this mess? Scot says, "YES, we need more TOV leaders."

291 - Repenting From Bad Christian Apr 14, 2021

I've been reflecting on a lot these last couple of years. Recently I took the time to think deeply on my time with Bad Christian, a podcast and community I was co-founder of and co-hosted since 2014. What a journey it was. "Good times" is an understatement.
On this episode however, my reflections on that past season of life revolve around things I'm no longer proud of and no longer jive with. It took being far enough removed from that 5-year run, for me to see the thought patterns and convictions I'm happy to now be freed from; walking away for good. Repentance is a great thing.

290 - Dirty Rotten Church Kids Apr 11, 2021

Please, pretty please, no sensitive ears need to tune in on this one. There's your warning. The dynamic duo, Josh and Adrian, of the Dirty Rotten Church Kids podcast join us to talk through their journey from church planters to “de-churched” and what led to them to starting Dirty Rotten Church Kids Podcast. We talk pastors who like to tell others every time they have sex with their wives, the power of community and whether “are you a Christian” is an annoying question.
At top of episode, Chip Judd, John Mark McMillan and Joey discuss their enneagram numbers, a “road rash” moment Joey is still shocked that he fell into, and a season in which Chip was an “unhealthy enneagram 8.” Oh, and way back in the day, John Mark used to look for fights.

289 - I’m a Woman Who Re-Translated The Bible Apr 03, 2021

One of the few women to translate the Bible, Bonnie Lewis discusses her journey that led to this wonderful masterpiece. The journey was wrought with outside criticism revolving around a female’s audaciousness to do such a thing as translate the Bible. Bonnie's “inner Fundamentalist" wasn’t so quick to let her off the hook in pursuing this endeavor; but over time, her Maker made paths straight and vision cleared to proceed.

Part of Pastor With No Answers extended family, Bonnie, shares her journey that led to her writing the enlightening idiomatic translation of the Bible. It’s called Timshel, a collection of the most commonly heard stories in the Old and New Testament.
So, what do we make out of the chauvinistic nature of the Bible? When everyone is getting a different meaning out of the Bible, how do we know what to trust? And what finite being gets to be an authority of God’s work? We discuss this and more.
We also discuss a survival story from the big Texas snow that occurred this past winter. Joey comes clean with how Bonnie (and her husband, Cy) were recipients of some “anxiety texts” of his, around the time he was in crisis with his mental health.

288 - A Biblical Case for Medical Aid in Dying Mar 28, 2021

Our guest does not call this suicide, nor labels as euthanasia. Working with Compassion and Choices, Rev. Madison Shockley advocates for the humane option for the terminally ill to choose the means and timing of their impending death. Rather than facing the prospect of a ruthless and painful journey leading to the end, he advocates for freedom and peace that comes by giving them the driver seat of when and how they will die. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more gracious, loving and biblically sound outlook on this endeavor that is now legalized in numerous American States.
We discuss real-life instances in which people have benefitted from this option and how one goes about ending his or her life with this medical aid. We also dissect evangelically-postured objections to one being able to take the timing of death into his own hands.

Before any of this, Ellen Mauro, Jack Hoey III and Joey discuss and debate spanking kids and reflect on parenting children as an Enneagram 5.

287 - Christian Persecution in the USA? (w/ John Mark McMillan and Chip Judd) Mar 21, 2021

I mean, we’re not really persecuted here in the states, are we? And any flack the church receives is likely our own fault, right? Chip Judd and John Mark McMillan discuss with Joey whether Christians are persecuted in America. John Mark has an example of a time he was. Also discussed here is the all too common ostracization (and cancelling) of a person for simply having one unpopular opinion. Lastly, we look at the short-comings of science as well as that of post-modernism.

286 - Small Group the movie Mar 13, 2021

*This is a brand-new interview. For you old school listeners, we also interviewed Matt during the making of Small Group the movie.*
It is out now and available everywhere! A filmmaker and his wife move across the country to make a documentary about Christianity's decline. To "pull back the curtain," they use a hidden camera and go undercover at a local small group. As their relationship with the group grows, negative assumptions about Christians and the Church break down, putting them in an awkward position. How will their new friends respond when the truth is revealed?
It's Small Group the movie.

This movie brilliantly looks at mega-church culture through non-dualistic lenses, poking fun at and exposing the ridiculous while also showing the good things undeniably found any time people gather for the purpose of true love and community. Matt Chastain, writer and director (and acted in) joins us to talk, after Joey viewed this movie on his own.

285 - "The Celebrity Pastor" (w/ PreachersNSneakers dude) Mar 07, 2021

Kicking off the episode is a quick discussion (with Chip Judd) on pastors and suicide. Is there a correlation between the pastoral role and having mental illness? Joey reflects on his vocation and whether being a pastor is harmful to his health.

Then the “PreachersNSneakers Guy,” (we call him Vic) joins Joey and co-host Jack Hoey to discuss celebrity pastors. Did these pastors start “doing ministry” with good intentions? How did they get completely off the tracks? Is it immoral to preach the gospel while wearing $3000 worth of attire? Why do people keep following celebrity pastors? Let's just say we try to keep this episode from being a "Steven Furtick Episode."

Joey, Jack and "Vic" are on the same page in three accounts. Each loves the church, each loves these pastors who are celebrities, and all three also hate “celebrity pastor culture."

284 - Predestination, A Debate (w/ Chris Date and Chip Judd) Feb 28, 2021

While I (Joey) personally find very primitive and archaic the belief in a God-ordained predestination of souls, Chris Date's holding to this position doesn’t lessen the amount of respect I have for him as a biblical scholar. Chip, Chris and I discuss and debate the philosophical components of whether people can have real choice while at the same time, God also ordaining that choice they will freely make. In other words, can God ordain that people have real choice while also ordaining what choice they will make? Chris thinks so.
We have plenty of “if I treated my kids the way God does” analogies, talk a bit about whether Jack and Jill had real choice to go up the hill if the author writes it (you'll have to listen) and even ponder marital affairs being “God ordained.”

282 - Ravi, Hooters, and Mark Driscoll (w/ Ellen Mauro and Tony Jones) Feb 17, 2021

We’re in an age now where atrocities at the hands of Christian leaders are the norm. Unspeakable hypocrisy, abuse and scandal. On this episode we discuss the current state of evangelicalism and the church, we process the recent news on Ravi Zacharias' abuses on women and reflect on the actions and downfalls of other pastors, including Ellen Mauro's and Joey's former pastor, Mark Driscoll.
Joey and his wife Pricilla also went to Hooters in Charlotte NC. Still negatively affected days after, Joey recounts the archaic and disheartening environment they found themselves in while he enjoyed some decently good wings.

281 - A Parent's Worst Nightmare Feb 14, 2021

When Kathy Yokeley’s daughter Natalie was born, the perfect family she’d dreamed of was complete; a loving husband, beautiful little son and daughter, fulfilling church involvement, an enjoyable career, and even a family dog.

And then thirteen years before the release of this episode (2/15/21), it all came crashing as Kathy’s twelve year-old, Natalie, was diagnosed with inoperable spinal cord cancer. Nine nightmarish months later (23 days after her 13th birthday), her precious daughter was gone.

Kathy’s book, “Not My Plans” is not only one mother’s story of loss and pain, but also of ultimate healing when the God she loved and trusted allowed her worst fear to come true. There’s no easy answers to such deep pain, but narratives of God’s infinite faithfulness in times of darkness such as these are all too common for those who lean upon that miraculous faithfulness.

We tribute to you, Natalie, and your ongoing legacy encapsulated in a short, thirteen-year life that has been outlasted by your legacy of courage, love, unwavering faith, and unexpected joy on countless others. Natalie Yokeley will never be forgotten and will have a lasting impact on every reader of “Not My Plans.”

Here’s to a great future reunion for you, Natalie; with your mother, father (Tom) and Will (brother).

In honor of Natalie Yokely and her family.

With co-hosts Pricilla Svendsen and Ellen Mauro, Joey proposes that there are many good lies. (29:00) Honesty can be unloving while in many situations, lying can be the best way to love someone. You’ll have to be the judge as to whether his theory is on point or full of .......

279 - My Father, A Pastor and Predator (with Jimmy Hinton) Jan 31, 2021

Jimmy Hinton’s life calling is to bring awareness to sexual abuse, especially on predators who thrive in churches. This was Jimmy’s life story, his father revered for decades by his congregants while he was secretly taking advantage of many children in the flock for 27 years. Jimmy and even his mom was unaware until later in life when his little sister came forward with the abuse done to her, at the hand of her father. When this story broke, it was picked up by CNN. Hear Jimmy's heart-breaking recollection and how he currently processes the relationship he has with his dad. What is it about church cultures that make it so easy for abusers to abuse? What is it about “blind sheep” who go to the defense on behalf of these predators? Important questions that need to be processed and answered. With tons of research, Jimmy lets us in to the mind of an abuser. Joey also shares a time in which he was being "groomed" by his high school teacher.

Friend of this podcast, Derek Minor, joins us at beginning of episode to talk prophesy and “Christian wealth.”

278 - Lisa Salazar, Transgender Christian Woman Jan 27, 2021

Lisa shares a bit of her story and provides feedback on our latest episode with Preston Sprinkle and Brandan Robertson where we discuss Sprinkle’s latest book, “Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say.” At the top of the episode Joey spends some time with his wife (Pricilla) and good friend (Ellen Mauro) talking about chauvinistic southern culture, how Joey treats his daughters differently from his sons and how Ellen and Pricilla don’t want doors held open for them. Oh, yeah and neither one of them like the word “panties.”

277 - Embodied (w/ Dr. Preston Sprinkle and Rev. Brandan Robertson) Jan 24, 2021

A conversation on transgenderism through lenses of science, theology and real-life stories. Preston Sprinkle, President of “The Center for Faith, Sexuality and Gender,” wrote a new book called “Embodied,” with the purpose of helping readers understand the complexities and emotions of this highly relevant and polarizing discussion. Also joining the conversation is Rev. Brandan Robertson, (author, activist, theologian and part of the LGBTQ community himself) who brings an opposing outlook on people we know as transgender individuals. Both of these men aim to walk in the steps of Jesus' love, and given their different views pertaining to this discussion, the means to love a transgender person will likely look a great deal different between the two of them.
Part two of this episode will be released this Wednesday as we have Lisa Salazar respond to the content of this episode. Lisa is a transgender woman who happens to also be a Christian.

276 - How Shall We Love? (w/ Jamie Lee Finch & Propaganda) Jan 17, 2021

Love your neighbor, love your enemy. Jamie Lee Finch (the Liturgists) and Propaganda (Red Couch Podcast) discuss with Joey “loving others” in the context of people’s personal journeys, social media “venting,” and the ability or inability to humanize others. Should we respond to “ignorant hate” differently than how we respond to just straight up, ‘ol hate? Do some legitimately have a harder time loving because of their place in society and past experiences? And should we be cautious in using the word “should” when it comes to another person's ability to love well?

275 - God [Can’t or Won’t] Stop the Little Girl From Being Raped Jan 11, 2021

Does God need our prayers to help Him stop evil? If He can defeat evil without us, why doesn't he? Today's guests appear to have some concrete direction on making sense of the "problem of evil." But they go in two different directions. Oord proposes that God simply lacks the power to stop bad things from happening and needs our partnership to minimize the effects of evil. Chip believes that an all-powerful God has willfully given humanity dominion over this world and suggests that people possess a God-given duty of using the "weapon of prayer" to unleash God's power in order to stop evil.
So, is God innately limited? Or is He self-limited? Both outlooks are a bit unnerving.
Maybe, let's just stick with good old-fashion mystery.
Thomas Oord appeared on episode 209 to discuss his book on Open Theology, "God Can't." Unique and intriguing territory is covered in this follow-up conversation, discussing his follow-up book, "Questions and Answers for God Can't."

274 - A Sermon From the Pastor (“Being a Kid in 2021”) Jan 02, 2021

If we accepted our place as kids, would our prayers sound a lot different? By the way, did you know the Apostle Paul’s prayers sound NOTHING like most of ours?

What if life was mainly for our enjoyment? What does it mean that God really wanted to spare us from the knowledge of good and evil?
Enjoy a sermon from your friendly, bald neighborhood pastor.

273 - Brian McLaren & His New Book "Faith After Doubt." Dec 30, 2020

Author, speaker, activist, former pastor, and friend to this podcast, Brian McLaren, just released his newest book “Faith After Doubt.” He submits to us that questions and doubt are not the enemies of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. We also talk a bit about “Learning to See,” his new podcast with Fr. Richard Rohr and Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis.

272 - A Merry-Less Christmas, Newly Widowed Dec 17, 2020

Grieving During the Holidays Part II (Part one, episode 208), Liz Miller joins Joey and Pricilla to talk through her dreadful first couple of holiday seasons without her husband of 6 years. What does that kind of suffering feel like? Liz explains that when you’re going through this sort of suffering, any future seasons of joy seem impossible. She shares some tips, including the need to offer grace in all directions. It’s typically uncharted territory to the sufferer as well as the loved ones around them who make mistakes, even saying hurtful things out of complete ignorance and with good intentions. Oh yeah, and don’t send Christmas cards to people like Liz. Give it a few years, for crying out loud. We talk about her late husband, laugh about some memories of him as we tribute to Joshua Miller and the short life him and Liz shared. Our hearts are with those who are experiencing this sort of grief and at the very least, know you are not alone. Team humanity, we love you, and may God be with you in your sadness.

271 - A Bible App for Progressive Christians (with Crystal Cheatum) Dec 13, 2020

Crystal Cheatum created a bible app that “ditches toxic theology and provides resources for marginalized communities of faith.” We learn a bit about her upbringing, discuss faith essentials and hear what theological positions cannot be represented by contributors to the bible studies and devotions on this app. Crystal is a gracious soul, honors others' journeys, and recognizes the impact a person's upbringing has on his or her religious outlook. Unlike a lot of the antagonistic approaches seen often these days, her posture bids well for more conservative theological thinkers to understand more progressive outlooks of God and the bible. The app is “Christo-Centric,” the majority of the included bible studies are written by ministers or seminarians, but people of all spiritual walks can find a home here. Crystal has a podcast and offers various workshops. She also shares a bit about the harm of purity culture and her experience of doing the Lords work as a Lesbian woman.

270 - What if the Word “Homosexual” Was Never Meant to Be in the Bible? Dec 06, 2020

www.1946themovie.com is a documentary in the making that claims the word “homosexual” appeared in the bible for the first time in the year 1946. The director of this movie, Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, shares her story of coming out as a child raised in a fundamentalist household. Her father, who she still has a relationship with her, is currently writing a book on how being gay is a sin. 1946 is a revolutionary new film that chronicles how the misuse of a single word changed the course of modern history. We also learn about the tons of work that goes into a project like this and hear how you listeners can support.

269 - Conservative & Liberating View of Women in the Bible (w/ Marlo Schlalesky) Dec 03, 2020

Jared Svendsen, executive producer of the show and older brother of the host, stops by to discuss his recent conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy and why despite Joey’s liberal theology, he still sees his brother as a fellow Christian. Joey also shares a story on how Jared prayed over his little brother "in tongues" when they were teens.

Marlo Schalesky wrote Women of the Bible Speak Out, which is a study of twenty women in Scripture and how God responded to them walking through betrayal, abuse, endangerment, blame, and shame. Despite their circumstances and labels, this book highlights God’s healing and transforming power, calling these women to wholeness, new vision, and holiness. In light of her work in this book, we discuss whether the Bible was written for men and what the implications of that would be. Marlo also does NOT lean into more progressive interpretations of the Bible that would typically make the treatment of women in the Bible more palatable.

268 - My Dear Friend Who Happens to Be Fat Nov 26, 2020

First of all, kids say the darndest things.
[11:30 minute mark] Three kids belonging to some listeners of this podcast, as well as Joey’s son Waylon, kick us off to talk about the deeper things in life. We talk about how God is good in the context of tornadoes, some specific times their parents have cussed, how the devil is apparently stronger than God sometimes, whether Biden will make a good president, and whether or not they would be nervous to babysit baby Jesus. One of these kids is an open theist, none of them are quite sure whether skin is an essential organ, Waylon has lied to his dad recently and a couple of them think Cobain was killed by his wife. Oh, and the devil created robbers and cancer.
[50:00 minute mark] Secondly, Joey talks to his friend Amy Alderman and what it’s like to be obese. Amy has been told by some that “she’s liked despite her weight” and that “no one would take her serious as a speaker because of her weight.” She shares how people see “fat” as contagious, recounts how she feels judged at restaurants, and outlines the many stereotypes and assumptions people have about fat people. Joey admits to falling prey of these stereotypes and asks questions about "fat jokes."

267 - How Can God be Fully Man? (w/ Dr. Sam Youngs) Nov 16, 2020

At the top of this episode, John Mark McMillan, Robbie Madison and Joey Svendsen give some examples of miracles in their lives they are convinced was the result of God’s supernatural hand. Oh, and Joey doesn’t know what the “WAP” is and John Mark and Robbie are uncomfortable to disclose this on the air.
MAIN INTERVIEW:If Jesus is fully God, we should worship Him. If he is fully man, we’d be sinning to worship him. Fully man, fully God? How in the world does this work? There’s many verses pointing to the inferiority Jesus had with the Father (John 5:30, Matthew 24:36). But isn't Jesus fully God? In this episode, we slow down to process this with author of "The Way of the Kenotic Christ," Dr. Sam Youngs, and focus on the “fully man” part.

266 - My Depressive Episode 3 (w/ Chip Judd): Anxiety and How it All Began Nov 11, 2020

The beginning of Joey's crash was preceded by an onslaught of extreme anxiety at a whole new level he'd never experienced. Pricilla was in New York City when it happened while Joey was at home solo parenting. Our friend Chip Judd (pastor and therapist), one of the few who walked this path with us up close and personal, shares his expertise of physiological depression, reflects on what he saw and experienced with Joey and Pricilla during this dark season, and touches on the need for the mental health field to humanize people. Chip sees this depressive episode as something out of Joey's control (with one exception), Pricilla describes the lack of dignity given to the mentally ill and Joey reflects on his lifestyle and whether that was the culprit of his downward spiral. Series Description: This time a little over a year ago, our world was turned upside down by Joey’s mental health crash. We want to tell our story of suffering as well as the beauty amidst the suffering. From Joey’s week-stay at the hospital to our kids learning first-hand about mental illness, to natural worries of how long this all would last, we had a family that surrounded us, hope that filled my heart, a new closeness and a new beginning – Pricilla

265- Humanizing Others is The Answer (w/ Jay Bakker) Nov 08, 2020

There's two groups of people on both sides of the fence yelling from a posture of legalism; and it's killing us all. But people all share this common ground: we all need forgiveness because we all “know not what we're doing." Jay outlines the foundation all humans can stand on to offer love and forbearance to everyone, including people on “the other side” of theology and politics. He also reflects on his spiritual journey and shares why he feels increasingly distant from polarizing, extreme forms of progressive Christianity. Raised by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the most successful televangelist duo in the history of the world, Jay tells a bit of his story on how his beliefs and lifestyle eventually deviated from his fundamentalist upbringing, causing him to question whether he could even remain a Christian. BadChristian, David Bazan’s faith (like it’s any of our business), and atonement theory are other topics discussed as Jay and Joey talk a little about a lot.
At top of the episode, John Mark McMillan, Robbie Madison and Joey talk "celebrity culture" in the church.

264 - Depression in a Marriage w/ Propaganda and Alma Nov 01, 2020

Wife and husband duo Jason Petty (Propaganda) and Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty sit with Pricilla and Joey to reflect on mental illness and the heaviness/pain it brings to a marriage. As Joey and Alma trade their “war stories,” Jason and Pricilla discuss the helplessness of not being able to “fix it” and the tension of providing love and support while not carrying the pain that isn’t theirs to carry. Riding the waves of mental illness that your spouse is on isn’t healthy for either partner.
Joey and Pricilla have begun sharing their story of last year when Joey’s mental health crashed at a crisis level. You can follow their story by listening to episodes 258 and 261.
Part 3 of their story will be released on 11/16.

263 - An Exorcist, Father Vincent Lampert Oct 26, 2020

A Halloween special! But a legit conversation. American Roman Catholic Priest and designated exorcist of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Fr. Vince gives account of real, eerie demon possessions and exorcisms he performed. We discuss the sorts of people demons pursue, the awareness of the possessed during an exorcism, how some cooperate with demons for long-term partnership, and why demons possess people in the first place. Riveting supernatural altercations with demons from an experienced exorcist.

261 - My Depressive Episode 2: “To See a Son Suffer” Oct 20, 2020

In this episode, Joey’s dad Virgil Svendsen reflects with Joey and Pricilla the dark days of taking care of Joey; and all the fears, anger and grief that came along with that season. Pricilla shares about the night she was actually afraid of Joey and had to call Virgil and Barbara (Joey’s mom) to spend the night with her. These are all tough things to reflect on and grapple with, but it’s the reality and truth we walked through. Immense beauty is often birthed from immense pain. Our story is no exception. Series Description: This time a year ago, our world was turned upside down by Joey’s mental health crash. We want to tell our story of suffering as well as the beauty amidst the suffering.

260 - Rachel and Derek, Your Favorite Heretics Oct 18, 2020

At the top of the episode, Robbie Madison and John Mark McMillan join Joey to talk a bit about Christians’ tendency to make God formulaic and how it’s a bit laughable for humans to believe this is even possible. Then, the dynamic husband and wife duo talk a bit about their deconstruction journey. These two started an Instagram account @yourfavoriteheretics that is basically a one-stop, central hub for people who are deconstructing and detoxing from harmful religious upbringings. We discuss why fear doesn’t have to be a part of this process and ponder how we can all trust a loving God who sees our genuine desire to be on the right path, even when our faith heads in directions we would have once seen as rebellious. Why would a loving God want us to be anything but honest? Rachel explains why she’s currently not too patient with fundamentalists, given the abuse she experienced and still sees people undergoing at the hands of these people with toxic, fear-driven theological postures.
Lastly, a peak of “My Depressive Episode 2: To See a Son Suffer.” (Releasing 10/21)

259 - Brian Zahnd, Politics in Light of God’s Kingdom Oct 10, 2020

John Mark McMillan and Joey Svendsen enjoy their time with Pastor and Author Brian Zahnd, asking him a little about everything. What does Brian Zahnd think of the POTUS and if asked, would Brian serve on his spiritual advisement board? Brian Zahnd believes strongly in the church. He points out the problems with both the Christian right and left, highlighting how Jesus wouldn’t serve either of their agendas; because frankly, He has his own. The church is a part of the world that's “already changed by Christ.” Until we let this sink in, Zahnd concludes that Christians will continue to seek hope in what their political party can accomplish, these accomplishments having nothing to do with the more important Kingdom work we are to value above all.
Brian and John Mark have an interesting take on why many artists are disinterested in politics. And of course, we get into some theology: atonement theories, Christian universalism, the gospel in its fullness.

258 - My Depressive Episode: Why Talk About Our Hell Oct 07, 2020

In this episode 1 of “My Depressive Episode: The Five Month Journey,” Pricilla and I give you a snapshot of the depths of pain we experienced and discuss how we are forever changed by this journey. We also share with you the purpose for putting these episodes together. Our friend Ryan Amick comes on to share the story of him and a mutual friend, Ted Demas, conspiring with Pricilla to get Joey out of the house for some BBQ and how that excursion quickly went to hell.
Series Description: This time a year ago (Oct 2019), I was in the mental hospital for a week stay. This move was the product of having no relief from depression and anxiety that progressively worsened through the months. Pricilla and I are going to tell our story over the course of many episodes that will also include the perspectives of friends and family who walked through this hell alongside us. We feel compelled to share the rawness of our experiences as a potential offering of hope to others who suffer with mental illness. We will also do any and everything we can to destigmatize the painful path that many are forced to walk on, in struggling with mental illness.
NEXT EPISODE in this series: Oct 21st (Wed), “To See a Son Suffer” (with Virgil Svendsen).

256 - The Golden Age of Emo (w/ Get Up Kids, Mineral, Jejune) Sep 29, 2020

Matt Pryor, Chris Simpson and Joe Guevara from the aforementioned bands discuss the late nineties Emo music scene. Enjoy tons of music clips from various bands as these three icons of the scene discuss the old days of touring and why they're glad the internet craze of streaming music hadn't started yet. We discuss the terminology “emo” and how they felt about it, reflecting also on bands like Fall Out Boy, who blew up and were classified as the same genre. How did these guys feel about their buddies in Jimmy Eat World going “BIG TIME?” What’s their current music projects? Time to reminisce on the glory days of music that created a community of listeners worldwide who breathed and bled this music.

255 - My Son is Dead, My Faith Didn't Work Sep 28, 2020

Preview of upcoming episodes at the beginning of this show. (REBOOT) - This episode aired 2 years ago, I often refer to it as my favorite episode, one that represents perfectly what this podcast is all about and why I'm motivated to continue making episodes. Art Rash discusses the loss of his son a couple of years ago. Growing up in his Pentecostal faith resulted in his belief of universal protection and continual favor for him and God’s other kids. Standing on God’s promises guaranteed his provision and rescue to those who believe. But what does one’s faith in God’s provision mean, when He doesn’t provide nor rescue?

254 - Sarah Bessey and Our Modern Day Apocalypse Sep 21, 2020

Our guest today highlights the monumental changes the church undergoes every 500 years, and guess what, folks? It’s that time. Sarah Bessey is a best-selling author. She co-created and co-leads the conference and community of Evolving Faith and also is President of the Board for Heartline Ministries in Haiti. Sarah gives Joey, "guest co-host" Trisha Wilkerson, and all of our listeners reason to have great hope and joy during seasons of monumental shifts in our faith. We discuss the gift of ditching conservative and progressive fundamental Christianity for more important things like love, grace and kindness. She gives some guidance for parents who are raising kids while deconstructing, highlights the need for borrowing hope from others, and discusses another way of viewing the term “born again.” If you are going through spiritual deconstruction and maybe experiencing discomfort (or even fear) along the way, you are in for a treat.

253 - "Will There Be Sex in Heaven?" Episode Sep 14, 2020

So is there sexual activity in heaven? We hear from lots of contributors on this one. In the beginning all things were good. Food, work, companionship, all of creation, perfect connection with God, perfect beauty and I presume, perfect sex. Things got screwed up along the way, ruining everything; and most Christians believe Jesus will redeem “all things," enjoying them forever in a new, perfect world. Everything redeemed. Except sex. Hmmm. The only thing "off the table" is sex? That’s odd, right? It’s at least worth a discussion.
Regulars Ellen Mauro and Pastor Chip Judd, a couple of priests (Fr. Wesley Walker and Fr. Chris Foley), Craig Gross, Preston Sprinkle, and more. Even Joey’s wife, Pricilla, doesn’t get off the hook on this one. Or should we say, since Joey had to talk about his proposal of sex in heaven with multiple partners to Pricilla, JOEY doesn't get off the hook.

We've heard the stories, we've seen the signs, our jaws have dropped, our stomachs have turned. Why do they do what they do? How do they reconcile their actions with the teachings of Jesus? How do they claim to practice love? Jack Hoey III and Joey talk to one of the leaders of Westboro Baptist, Tim Phelps.

250 - “Evangelical Christian” w/ Shane Claiborne, Derek Minor Aug 25, 2020

What does that terminology even mean anymore? Is it a label we should dispose of because of the reputation and image it symbolizes? Does it even matter? Shane gives us his take, including why he's not on board with the "ex-vangelical" posture or #emptythepews sorts of movements.
John Mark McMillan, Ellen Mauro, and I talk about cancelling people and Derek Minor drops in to share a few minutes of wisdom about viewing haters through eyes of empathy.

Joey’s #1 album will solicit ridicule from music snobs but once you’re in your 40s, who cares about being hip anymore? From Jared’s dark metal “gems” to Joey’s abundance of hip-hop albums, maybe you’ll hear of an album or two that peaks your interest and after a few listens, changes your life. 2012 was an epic year for music, nine albums making my (Joey) my list.

248-Interrogating and Respecting Atheism (w/ “The Friendly Atheist”) Aug 13, 2020

Hemant Mehta has a calling to open people’s eyes to the atrocities coming from the Christian church. As always, “The Friendly Atheist” is friendly, fair, insightful, eloquent in his observations and brings to the table many things to learn from. He points out the fallacy of Christians being persecuted under Democratic Presidents and makes a claim that most American stories of “Christian persecution” are skewed to fit the “every one is against Christians” narrative.
We talk about whether morality can exist outside of God, and Hemant argues that Christians themselves are subjective and selective in their assessment of “right and wrong.”
At the top of the episode, John Mark McMillan, Ellen Mauro, and Joey Svendsen speak about police officers and “weaponizing black voices.”

247 - Essentials of the Christian Faith. Who decides? Aug 03, 2020

My friend Pastor Colin Kerr wrote a book called “Faith Hope Love: The Essentials of Christianity for the Curious, Confused and Skeptical.” We talk about “essentials” in the context of denominations. Colin says, “A skeptic’s reasons for rejecting institutional Christianity might be, unbeknownst to them, more faithful to the nature of Kingdom Christianity than some claiming to be Christians themselves.” Bullseye. We talk a little about everything. Is it a win that many of these skeptics are leaving a misguided church? What does it mean for the bible to be authoritative? Is it fair to say love is more important than doctrine? This book is touted as concise in its content and interdenominational in its approach, a strong read for the curious, confused and/or skeptical.”
At the top of the episode, John Mark McMillan, Ellen Mauro and myself talk about the tenacity of John’s daughter, TikTok and having patience and love towards unlovable people.

246 - Sizing People Up With Love Jul 27, 2020

(Pastoring in an Evangelical church as a Non-Evangelical Part 3)
Continuing a mini-series (started with episodes 225 and 240), in this episode I reflect on my habit of categorizing people as good or bad, authentic or fake, honest or a liar. And my current desire to size people up with love and recognizing my hypocrisy when I don’t do this. I also talk out loud my thoughts (not always the best idea) concerning Pastors distinguishing themselves from their “flock” as “the superior one,” this leading to messes of all kinds. This line of thinking is also completely contradictory to the nature of humanity clearly seen in day to day life as well as in the bible.

245 - How Much Can We “Sway” God By Praying? Jul 21, 2020

Chip Judd and Jack Hoey, regulars on this podcast, have both been Christians for a long time and see prayer in very different lights. How much responsibility do we have to pray regularly and does God withhold blessings and provisions when we do not pray enough? Does God often communicate back to us? So many questions about prayer and we discuss many of them on this episode.
At the top of the episode, Joey, Ellen Mauro and John Mark McMillan continue their conversation about porn and today specifically we discuss how significant the difference is between seeing naked bodies and watching sexual acts. I also surveyed our listeners on their personal struggles with mental illness and share the results in the intro.

Song you heard: The Lost Chorus is a collaboration between Alex Albert (Project 86, drums), Ryan Dennee (Stavesacre, guitar), Dirk Lemmenes (Stavesacre, bass) and Andy Zipf (vocals, guitar). In 2009, Alberts, Dennee and Lemmenes wrote several instrumental songs in a rehearsal space outside of Los Angeles. They reached out to Zipf, who added melodies, lyrics and some additional guitar parts. This resulted in a self produced and self titled EP released in 2011. In 2019, new material began to take shape, and a series of singles produced and mixed by Paul Fig (Deftones, Ghost, Alice in Chains) are now in process. The first song from this series, “Soft Lies” was released June 26, 2020.Find the Lost Chorus where ever you listen to your tunes.

244 - If Demons Aren’t Real (w/ Dr. Tony Jones) Jul 13, 2020

[“demon talk” starts at 16 mark]
Theologian, author and host of Reverend Hunter Podcast, Tony Jones joins Joey and one of our resident theologians, Jack Hoey, to share his view on this universe being “demon-less.” And if demons (and Satan) do not indeed exist, did Jesus think they did? How then was he tempted in the garden? If our battle isn’t “against flesh and blood,” who’s it against? We also have a conversation about the other side of the coin: what does it say about God if we do indeed live in a world where demons hate us, want to destroy us, and God can kill them but doesn’t?
At the top of the episode, John Mark McMillan, Ellen Mauro and myself discuss the complicated tension between de-objectifying women while also celebrating her freedom and how they present their bodies.

243 - To Be on Anti-Depressants or Not to Be Jul 08, 2020

My friend Jed and I have had long journeys struggling with clinical mental illness. We’ve been through times of not knowing what to do, times of being on anti-depressants and times of trying life without them. This conversation was captured on March 2nd, which is a snapshot in time, representing a snapshot of our journeys with the ups and downs of depression and anxiety.
At the top of episode, my friends John Mark McMillan and Ellen Mauro talk about therapy and an infatuation with breasts.

242 - Thrash Music Pioneers, Vengeance Rising Jul 01, 2020

Roger Dale Martin, bass player of the iconic Christian thrash band Vengeance Rising, let’s us in on a secret. Vengeance Rising, in the late 80s paved a new path not only in the Christian music scene, but in the heavy music scene as a whole. The vocals had Christians retorting, “You're not allowed to have singing that sounds like demons in hell.” We talk about the early Christian heavy music scene, the departure of front man Roger Martinez, the impossibility for indie bands back in the day to track their following, and much, much more. Cheers to Vengeance Rising.
Special Guests: Jesse Sprinkle, Mikee Bridges, Matt Johnson and Mark Salomon.

241 - The Bible Teaches Universalism (w/ Lance Haverkamp) Jun 29, 2020

Lance is a minister with the Christian Universalist Association. Founded in 2007, the Christian Universalist Association comprises of individuals, churches and para-church ministries who teach what they refer to as the overwhelming historical and scriptural evidence that all people are reconciled to God as revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. According to the association, for most of the Church’s history, there has been a mistaken belief in a retributive God who will punish unbelievers with endless torture. This error has poisoned the behavior of generations of believers into being retributive to others. Jesus taught us that we love God by loving our neighbors and enemies. Just as Jesus taught, we strive to promote restoration of relationships, with each other, and with God, rather than retribution. I had a lot of questions.

240 - “Churches Are All Bad.” Huh? Jun 23, 2020

[Pastoring In An Evangelical Church as a Non-Evangelical (Part 2)]
I’ve had quite the faith journey that has landed me in a very different headspace. It’s been extremely hard at times and I’m very grateful I’m still here. The love we share within my church family is undeniable. The important truths we agree on are all I need to feel deeply connected. This may not be the best road for all, but for those who love their church family and despite seeing faith and the world differently, can’t live without, I think I have some helpful thoughts. Episode focus: Taking a close look at churches, especially the mega church I’m a part of, it’s quite an interesting (to say the least) thought to say “they’re all bad.”
Part 1 of this mini-series found on episode 225.

239 - Christians and Politics (w/ Shane Claiborne) Jun 18, 2020

What’s a Christian’s responsibility for political advocacy and involvement? Why is “church” becoming less and less relevant to the younger generation? What does “Christian” even mean anymore? Should we go ahead and ditch that word? Non-violence, the problem with wealth, social salvation, best-selling author and activist, Shane Claiborne, touches on it all.
At top of episode, Joey, John Mark McMillan and Jory Micah discuss toxic polarization and “good people” who voted for Donald Trump.

236 - Demon/Human Hybrids (Nephilim). It's Biblical. Jun 02, 2020

At the top of episode, Joey, Jory Micah, and John Mark McMillan continue their discussion, today it’s about the impatience, intolerance and religiosity of some progressive Christians. Jory Micah learned about these folks the hard way.
Today’s guest spot is Nate Henry (some of you know him as the lead singer of Sherwood) sharing his newer revelations of how clear the bible supports a narrative of demonic/human hybrids (Nephilim). Would open-mindedness and slowing down to consider scripture through these lenses wipe out the stigmatization of a “Nephilim narrative?” What if this narrative even answered a lot of questions and surfaced a consistency of scripture we don’t currently have?

235 - Joey On the Defense with a Priest. Evangelicalism & Progressive Theology Backed by Joey May 26, 2020

At the top of the episode, Joey, Jory Micah, and John Mark McMillan continue their discussion on progressive theology, including how progressive the bible (and the Apostle Paul) is.
Today’s guest, Father Wesley Walker, is an Anglo-Catholic Priest and host of the Sacramentalists Podcast where a recent episode released posed logical critiques of evangelical churches and progressive theology. Joey found some of these critiques a bit short-sighted and unfair, thus prompting today’s conversation with his friend Father Wesley. Various topics and questions addressed include whether evangelicals’ scripture interpretation is second-rate, whether progressives are sincere in their pursuit for spiritual truth. Do evangelical church systems seek to keep people as spiritual infants to maintain control? Do those in the progressive theology camps excessively celebrates doubt? We also discuss spiritual experience, the bible’s ability(or disability)to connect with modern culture, how scripture gets its authority in the first place, what that authority is, and whether every one picks and chooses how they interact with the Bible.

234 - Diminished Heroic Women of Faith (w/ Kat Armas) May 20, 2020

At the top of the episode, Jory Micah, John Mark McMillan, and Joey discuss the level of importance that spiritual experience is to their faith.
In our interview with Kat Armas (theologian, author and podcast host of The Protagonistas Podcast), she recounts her journey out of Evangelicalism and introduces us to the beautiful picture of "Abuelita (Grandmother) Theology." Speaking on the Bible as culturally written by men and for men, Kat shows us how easy it is to overlook the great faith of women in the bible, some of whom are completely unnamed. The question also begs to be asked that in our every day life, are the greatest theologians we've ever known those we'd never consider theologians in the first place? We also discuss a myriad of other topics including her journey out of American evangelicalism, pronouns for God, maltreatment of women in the bible, and how the "Good Book," while it strengthens our faith, our love for God and humanity, can (and maybe should) also cause lament, anguish and wrestling in our hearts.

232 - Bullied by "Tolerant" Christians on Twitter May 11, 2020

I’ve seen firsthand that fundamentalism takes on many different forms, even in many circles full of people who believe they kissed fundamentalism away many years ago. A couple of days ago, these folks taught me very clearly, “Do not engage with us again, unless you become just like us.” My sincere questions apparently represented to them laziness, a lack of empathy and deemed me an unsafe person for them to correspond with. Makes me want to double down on loving. Everyone. Even these folks. Because interaction with me isn't invited by these brothers and sisters, I’ll have to do that from afar.

231 - “Bad Words” In Front of Your Kids & All Things Teens (w/ Dr. Ken Wilgus) May 06, 2020

Author of “Feeding the Mouth that Bites You” and co-host of a Podcast under same title, Dr. Kenneth Wilgus’ approach to raising teens always delivers great and unique insight. Today, we talk a bit about teens shutting parents out, daughters starting to date and whether it is possible for a middleclass family to raise kids who aren’t spoiled. Before this interview, Joey, Natalie and John discuss cussing in front of your kids. Joey also shares perhaps the funniest dad story in the history of mankind. Yes, that’s a big claim.

230 - Brian McLaren, Why Does Jesus Sound So Harsh? Apr 28, 2020

"If you don’t forgive others, I won’t forgive you.” “It’s going to be easier for those cities than it will be for you on the day of judgement.” “Depart from me I never knew you.” “Anyone who talks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.” Jesus’ words sound so judgmental, unloving, unforgiving, and quite frankly, full of anger. And he sounds like this a lot. It’s a bit bothersome and seems conflictive with his actions of love and surrender.
Talking to Brian McLaren about this months ago was so helpful to me personally, I had to rehash with some microphones so you can benefit as well. There’s so much going on culturally with Jesus’ words and so many interpretive factors people typically are unaware of. One may not agree with the light McLaren sheds on all of this, but it's hard to argue his historical knowledge of those times which obviously is very relevant to gaining an understanding of Jesus' words.

229 - Joey Grilled by an Atheist on the “Bible Says What?!?” Podcast Apr 21, 2020

Michael Wiseman has a podcast that puts Christians (more specifically, Pastors) on the hot-seat by throwing their beliefs on “the grill” of atheism. As always, he has some very good points to ponder. I enjoyed getting grilled although it may not bid well for my intellectual reputation. One of the topics addressed was the seemingly “mean-spirited, short-fused, threatening” side of Jesus we encounter through some of his harsh words read in the gospels. Next week, on this podcast, we’ll have the wonderful Brian McLaren to dissect these very intense words said by the Savior himself, giving us a deeper, fuller picture of what is actually being said.

228 - COVID 19: Trump to blame? Economy Doomed? Conspiracy? Apr 15, 2020

One of the smarter people in my life, Jack Hoey, answers multiple questions pertaining to problems revolving around coronavirus. If we’re trillions in debt, why not get in trillions more by a way larger stimulus? Do we now have a worse problem by shutting everything down? Why didn’t we act faster? How fast will the economy rebound? Why don’t we leave old and health-comprised people at home while a younger, healthier demographic holds down the fort at work? Trump to blame, economy doomed? Conspiracy? One man's opinion.

227 - JGivens, Hip Hop Artist: His Story of Coming Out Apr 08, 2020

JGivens, known by many in “Christian rap” circles, sits down with Joey and his wife Pricilla to tell his story of perseverance, personal growth, and a new gained perspective of people, the soul and the world we live in. We hear about his family dynamics, upbringing, his journey coming out as openly gay, surviving addiction, and the love and support received from family and friends. Like many others who have come out as gay, Jeremiah was under the microscope of numerous Christians, many of whom were callously hateful and shallowly judgmental. JGivens, folks; the talented, stunningly creative Hip-Hop emcee, gifts us with sharing his life. By the way, his brilliance isn’t limited to his music; as you’ll hear in this interview, it also radiates through his words. It’s like the dude’s native tongue is poetry.

226 - Ed Stetzer, Greg Surratt // COVID-19, the Church Apr 01, 2020

Ed Stetzer has some gracious but urgent words of admonition. It’s time for churches to stop prioritizing internal delivery systems, online church and broadcasting so they can focus on preparations for serving our communities in an unprecedented crisis that happens to be right around the corner. Will we practice what we preach, trust God over our false comforts and walk in the footsteps of Jesus? We also discuss practical steps for churches to take right now and ponder what it might look like to sacrifice our health and well-being for the service of others.

225 - Pastoring In An Evangelical Church as a Non-Evangelical Mar 31, 2020

I’ve had quite the faith journey that has landed me in a very different headspace. It’s been extremely hard at times and I’m very grateful I’m still here. The love we share within my church family is undeniable. The main things we agree on are all I need to feel deeply connected. This may not be the best road for all, but for those who love their church family and despite seeing faith and the world differently, can’t live without, I think I have some helpful thoughts.
Today’s Focus:Let’s knock off the dualistic thinking. People are good. People are bad. The church is good. The church is bad. What are we to do? Maybe Jesus, love and understanding are a good start?

224 - Derek Minor / Why Does Hip-hop Get Away With Objectifying Women? Mar 29, 2020

Why does it seem hip-hop culture and Super Bowl Halftime Show Gets Away with Objectifying Women? Hip-Hop Art creator, Derek Minor, schools us in hip-hop culture, highlighting its disconnect with society’s drive to be “woke.” He also brings an admonition to have more patience for people’s normal maturation processes, including those of young hip-hop artists. Our current “cancel culture” doesn’t honor the human journey.
Derek also shares the current nature of his career and how calm and blessed he feels in this new corona-virus world we live in. We also discuss the devastating blow for private business owners and musicians. John and Natalie also assess Joey’s conservative view of the 2020 Super Bowl half-time show.

223 - My Name is Anthony and I’m Going to Die Mar 23, 2020

Anthony Woodle agreed to spend time with us reflecting on his current season of making peace with knowing his time left on earth is profoundly limited. At the age of 29, as he comes to terms with death’s eminence, Anthony is happy with what he’s accomplished and satisfied with how his time was spent. We discuss his fears, the things that bring the most sadness, and whether it’s a gift to know these are his last days.

221 - How Sure Can I Be God is Speaking to Me? (a Debate) Mar 15, 2020

Two guests who are regulars and part of the PWNA family, Jack Hoey (father) and Chip Judd iron out their contrasting views on how we interact with God and what we can and can’t be sure of, including whether God even exists in the first place. Joey explains how his peace with and closeness to God feels way more palpable and vibrant when he stays in a space of “I believe with all my heart, but I really also can’t know.” (This conversation begins at 10:30 mark)
Episode beings with an uncomfortable interview that Joey conducts with one who struggles with mental illness. It sounds like Joey but given his ultra-evangelical/fundamentalist slant and minimizing of mental illness during the whole interview, it’s hard to make sense of this one (wink, wink).

220 - Universalistic Views of The Afterlife & Trump’s Report Card Mar 08, 2020

Joey, Natalie, and John discuss God’s character in relation to different beliefs on the afterlife. Is Universalism in the mix as a valid position for a Christian to hold? How does a God who condemns billions to hell line up with a God of love? Do people believe in universalism merely because it feels better? How much can our faith be based on our experience? How do we raise our kids in light of our own doubts and evolution of faith? Jack Hoey (the father) also sits down with Joey to discuss the presidential term of Donald Trump, some bad things and yes, some good things. By the way, I (Joey) don’t think Calvinists are universally despicable. Clowning around as always.

219 - White Person, Please Listen to This Mar 01, 2020

A few episodes ago, there were two white guys on this show (one of them was yours truly) and some how we ended up talking about whether or not there was equal opportunity for black people and whether racism still posed problems here in the US of A. It sparked a lot of conversation so I invited my friend Robbie Madison, who is black, to give his perspective of what was discussed. Additional topics are addressed, including the honoring of white racist historical figures, how black people feel around cops, and why being “colorblind” actually isn’t really a virtue. For context, at top of this show, we play the clips of previous episode being discussed.

Family man, Underoath’s Electronics guy, and successful entrepreneur, Dudley catches us up on some of his life. Chris still goes to church, he’s a virtual reality enthusiast, and like many of us, has to be careful with his eating. (Interview at 24 min mark).

216 - 12 Apostles, None Female? Calling God Mom? Lice the Result of the Fall? And more. Feb 17, 2020

Another segment of “Ask Jack,” we talk whether God, along with "Our Father," can also be referred to as "Our Mother." We ponder whether poop and lice were part of the original plan for creation and we ask why Jesus couldn't have just picked one woman to be part of the 12. Things kick off with a phone heckler Joey received a message from back in the summer.

215 - 80s TV Star, John Schneider, of The Dukes of Hazard Feb 10, 2020

A little reprieve from all the blasted spiritual talk. (Interview with John starts at 28:30 mark) Former roommate of Johnny Cash and a friend of Tyler Perry, John Schneider, who played Bo Duke in the hit TV show, “Dukes of Hazard,” has had one impressive journey. We talk about his career, how he’s convicted to live his life, and we reflect on racism and the sensitivity of our current culture.
John has a line of CBD oil, “CBoD oil,” he’s a #1 hit country musician and has starred in the TV show, “Pleasantville,” and currently stars in Tyler Perry’s, “The Haves and Have Nots.” Perhaps most importantly, he’s co-founded the highly impactful non-profit called The Children’s Miracle Network (raised more than 5 billion dollars for the care of sick children).
This guy just doesn’t quit. John reflects on his illustrious career in his new book, “My Life, My Way.” I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and loved hearing some behind the scenes of my favorite show as a kid, “The Dukes of Hazard.”

214 - Author Scott A. Shay Explores Most Common Atheist Critiques of the Bible. Feb 01, 2020

In his book, “In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism,” Shay incorporates Jewish, Christian and Muslim voices for a fresh, modern re-evaluation of religion and of atheism. Why does God always seem so pissed? Why wouldn’t God’s existence be made more obvious to everyone so all would believe? Is Genesis allegorical? Old Testament human trafficking? Are scientists in denial if they deny the existence of a god? What kind of messiah are Jewish people looking for? (Interview starts at 16:55 mark)
Joey, Natalie and John also talk about profoundly violent and grotesque movies (i.e. Midsommar) and whether there is merit in “the disturbing.”

213 - Church Recovery Group Jan 29, 2020

Introducing some friends of mine who you’ll be hearing more from in “Pastor With No Answers Land.” The three of us met in a house church, we discuss here how that church family functioned as a church recovery group for people addicted to "church anger." We also discuss postpartum depression, an embarrassing podcast blunder of mine, and how John, as a recovered addict, would love to roll a blunt and watch Netflix with his wife once in a blue moon; just not worth the risk for him.

Joey and John Mark have become friends over the years, also sharing similar paths in personal faith changes and how they view their Christianity. Both have learned how to rest more in their questions, ween off the need of having certainties, and prioritize love over everything. Both also still consider themselves followers of Jesus, enjoy being a part of a church and also understand why many have left. They talk a bit about their faith here. Also, enjoy a sneak preview of the new forthcoming John Mark Mcmillan album, “Peopled With Dreams.”

The future will bring about more than most are imagining. Did you know there’s a good chance the prostitution industry will be completely monopolized by SexBots within 30 years? Seen and heard from on BBC, NBC and other media outlets, Mal Fletcher has many subjects of expertise, including social futurism. Instead of Robocop, how about Robopastor?

Jarrid Wilson took his life last year in September. A few years back, he hosted this show while my wife and I took the place of “guests," sharing the effects my depression has had on our marriage while Jarrid shares his story of battling depression as well. Lots of laughs, lots of heartfelt introspection, while openly discussing and de-stigmatizing this common sickness that many endure.

209 - Some Christians Don’t Believe God Knows the Future? (w/ Thomas Oord and Jack Hoey) Jan 05, 2020

Thomas Oord (ThomasJayOord.com) wrote a book entitled “God Can’t.” It’s an articulate presentation of Open Theism, a belief that supposes for freewill to exist, the future is unknowable, even to God. So if God doesn’t know the future, this would mean limitations in his power which goes against what most believe about God. At the same time, this posture is more suitable to make sense of all the pain in this world. It goes like this: It’s not that God allows evil, but rather because He gave us freewill, He doesn’t know the evil we’ll do and thus can’t stop it. This is an intriguing discussion in which Jack Hoey and I try to make sense of this theology as well as poke holes in it. Although I do not hold this view, it’s certainly not as far-fetched as it may appear at first glance.

208 - A Practical Discussion on Grieving During the Holidays & the future of PWNA Podcast Dec 23, 2019

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Deck the Halls,” and “Holly Jolly Christmas” for many, but for others, it’s nothing but a “Blue. blue, blue blue Christmas.”
Many stories of grief have been shared on this podcast (Episodes 21,22,35,39,122,150) so I wanted to process the in’s and out’s of grief with a professional, especially pertaining to the holidays. I sat down with a local therapist here in Charleston SC for us to glean more understanding and guidance about interacting with those who are grieving. What are the best ways to be supportive? Are there times when it’s appropriate to push a bit? What should one say (or not say)?
There’s also some helpful information directed towards those listening who are currently grieving during the holidays. Merry Christmas and we remember those who do not find it merry at all.

207 - The Church Doesn’t Like Questions About Sexuality Dec 16, 2019

The church should be notorious for welcoming questions, having conversations without the short fuses and pretense, and allowing for environments where people are comfortable with being brutally honest. Because supposedly, we’ve been rescued by love and “perfect love casts out fear,” right? So what do we have to be afraid about? Today’s guest had questions about sexuality and him merely having these questions was not welcomed by his church.
So Jonathan Foster wrote a book about his experience entitled “Questions About Sexuality that Got Me Uninvited from My Denomination.” The church, the gay community, more understanding, possible unity. At the very least, can we have a conversation?

206 - Not So Fast, Wives Submit to Your Husbands, REALLY Dec 08, 2019

Today’s guest says “not so fast” in regards to last episodes liberal handling of wife to husband submission. These verses, according to him, are clear and consistent enough to grapple with.

205 - Wives, Submit to Your Husbands Nov 24, 2019

It almost feels archaic to follow these instructions but many couples raised on fundamentalism perceived these passages as instructions for a healthy marriage and many still do. Our two guests, Trisha Wilkerson and Ellen Mauro, join SvenZone to discuss insight on how they arrived at a different place. Once gaining a way more robust, rich outlook on marriage, neither adhered any longer to the simplicity of submission and that has bid them well in their relationship with their husbands.

203 - The Epidemic of Womanizing Nov 09, 2019

Therapist, Andrew J. Bauman, unapologetically lays out the current epidemic of womanizing. So how about the men who are sincere in their desire to honor women but may not be aware of the blind-spots that keep them from doing it? How do we honor female beauty but not mentally devour it? Bauman outlines how even the “good guys” have issues with this that need to be acknowledged, dealt with, and humbly fought against. Womanizing is an epidemic that has to be taken seriously; with all male’s hands on deck.

202 - Getting Jesus Wrong Oct 20, 2019

A large part of western Christianity has made Jesus a life coach who gives us an agenda to follow, spiritual requirements to check off of our list; and are missing the point. What if the real point was receiving hope and passing that hope along to others? Instead, we are all busy trying harder and either getting full of pride because we’re mastering the ways of Jesus or getting full of despair because a we just can’t measure up. Matt Johnson, author of Getting Jesus Wrong, claims that the death and resurrection of Jesus is the antidote to “doing more” and “trying harder.” He also feels that deconstructing isn’t so simple and typically stems from a privilegedpoint of view.
Getting Jesus Wrong by Matt Johnson available at amazon and wherever else you order books.

Logan joins Jared and Joey to discuss their top 50 bands, today they work through #’s 41-50. But before we do that, Joey rambles a bit about how faith fundamentally has to start with mystery. There’s some bonus material at the very end as Joey talks music with Matt Johnson (author and drummer of former Tooth and Nail band, Roadside Monument) and reminisces about the early glory days of the Christian Indie Music scene.

198 - Eastern Orthodoxy Sep 01, 2019

Most of us are familiar with Catholicism and Protestantism but Easter Orthodox, not so much. Matt Hinton and Father Chris, both in the band Luxury (first two releases on Tooth and Nail Records) drop in to school us all on the second largest sect of Christianity. After a lengthy discussion of its origins, we look into eastern orthodox approaches to scripture, the afterlife, the rapture, evangelism and various other subject matter common to Christianity. When it’s all said and done, at the end of the episode, we treat you to one of their songs.

197 - We Choose What We Believe About the Bible (w/ Bonnie Lewis) Aug 25, 2019

These are my words, not hers, but it’s true. Each of us who uphold the bible as a special book are all doing the best we can to make sense of it. Even when one is convinced God is guiding her personally, he is still making a decision to trust that gut feeling and believe that specific way. Sidenote: humility would always serve us well when considering anything involving “hearing God.”
Bonnie is writing a new translation of the bible. You can read about it here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1945582321/timshel-an-idiomatic-bible-translation

196 - The Future of the Mega Church, Jesus’ Divinity, the Law, etc (w/ Jack Hoey) Aug 17, 2019

Jack Hoey joins us again to help us make sense of Jesus being fully God but not fully knowing. And why should we listen to Paul’s other teachings when he was erringly convinced on a very significant belief that Jesus would come back during Paul’s lifetime? We also talk a lot about mega churches, their eventual demise and even an Old Testament passage that endorses abortion.

195 - That Big Church in Charlotte (w/ former intern James Floyd) Aug 04, 2019

*Special note below on this episode* We talk about a famous pastor of a huge church with a former intern who learned the culture of this church from being on the inside. From staff being required to stand up when this Pastor walks into a room to him being presented in the same light as prophets in the bible, many are left wondering, who is this guy and how can some one be so far off the mark of Jesus’ example? How does he justify his actions? Who are his followers and why are they following? Do the onlookers from the outside just not have the full picture of what’s going on? After hearing about James’ experiences at this church, we speculate about the leader, wonder about who he is behind the scenes and lastly, we make some guesses about his future.*Special note* One of the last questions presented to our guests had to do with "this going viral." The basis of the question was Furtick spontaneously making an "apology video" on his own accord (unrelated to this episode) and that video going viral; not "this Svenzone episode going viral," forcing a PR response. The intent of this episode wasn't soliciting a response, nor are there any lofty ideas of this episode going viral. Podcasting is hard.

191 - Tooth and Nail Records’ Joe Christmas (w/ Russell Holbrook) Jun 25, 2019

A special edition of Indie Rock Talk brings on guitarist of the infamous Tooth and Nail band, Joe Christmas (influenced by bands like The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr. and Codeine). Russell shares his perspective of the early Tooth and Nail days, which included their debut of Joe Christmas’ Upstairs Overlooking and followed by sophomore release North to the Future. We talk about the flack Joe Christmas received from Christian “music fans,” for the band not being Christian enough, we hear how these guys initially connected to Tooth and Nail Records and we get an inside scoop of who these guys were as people when they weren’t rocking that noisy garage sound indie flavor.

190 - Parenting Good Enough (-101): Video Game confession Jun 20, 2019

I actually don’t want you to listen to this episode, it’s embarrassing; my real frustrations getting smoked in video games with my sons. Video games should be a fun escape, something to do when you’re hanging out. I managed to turn it into a bad lesson for my kids.

189 - Universalism Further Explored (Part 2 w/ Chris Date) Jun 08, 2019

Joey and Chris continue a conversation about Universalism (check out episode 187 with Dan Koch). According to Chris, it’s very unlikely that Jesus saves everyone and this conclusion is by and large, tied to the teachings of Jesus. We discuss how in Paul’s letters, he leaves the “Universalism door” a bit more open than Jesus. We also wade through some other questions like “does God love his enemies,” “why Jesus asked forgiveness for those who crucified Him,” and if God is perfect, why is it a “win” for masses of people to forever be separated from the love of God.

188 - Indie Rock Talk II Jun 01, 2019

Back again to discuss one of our favorite things. MUSIC! In this edition there's some secret, behind the scenes info on the pre-signed (at the time) Emery LP, "Weak's End." We talk Dinosaur Jr. vs. Sebadoh, we have a discussion on bands “selling out” and the pain experienced back in the day when jocks discovered your favorite “used to be” underground band (like…..remember when “blue album” by Weezer was undiscovered?). We also talk about some of the newer bands we’re listening to and reflect on the tendency of gravitating towards the particular music vibe that got you hooked in the first place.

Universalism Further Explored (PART 1 w/ Dan Koch) May 27, 2019

Joey and Dan reflect on a recent conversation about universalism between Joey and his fellow co-host of BadChristian Podcast, Toby Morrell. Is logic involved in discussing the after-life? If we look hard enough and pray more diligently, does scripture present one clear message about how everything works after we die? Is this for us to know, for certain? And if one believes in universalism, what’s the point of even maintaining a Christian faith? Dan, just like all of us doesn’t have the answers but in his current reflection and studies of spirituality, coupled with what he finds to be personal experience with the divine, he feels generally compelled to take his cues from Jesus’ teachings. So, does Jesus bring clarity to this discussion? Despite not being sure one way or the other, in regards to the plausibility of universalism, the “Jesus cues” have led Dan to believe that universalism may not be too crazy of a thought after-all.

186 - God Can Heal but Usually Doesn’t May 19, 2019

Jack Hoey and Joey discuss their church and the many apparent miracles many have experienced there, through physical healing. We dissect what we would call common misconceptions of healing verses, including Jesus saying “We will do greater things than Him.” We also give our honest assessment of what’s been happening. Additionally, we marvel at the wonderful community we are a part of. There’s not too many organizations—-especially churches—-that operate with such open-handedness. This conversation is open and honest; and unfortunately, most churches are too territorial for this type of open dialogue. This makes zero sense, given we are a collection of finite people seeking the infinite.

185 - Adolescence is a New Concept and Parents Are Scrambling May 14, 2019

Dr. Kenneth Wilgus, practicing psychologist for families with teens, joins Joey and his wife, Pricilla, to talk about his book “Feeding the Mouth that Bites You.” This book, in our opinion, is a must read for parents who currently have teens in their houses or those whose kids are getting close to that age. Your teens’ need for more autonomy, why presenting a clear plan for freedoms and accountability is so important, “normal lying,” social media, kids fearing parents, and parents’ role as guides and trainers as opposed to controllers are many of the subjects talked about here.

184 - God’s Love Gives Way to Our Safety (w/ Ben Moore) May 02, 2019

Joey and Ben discuss their changing faith and theorize a bit on how deconstructing is inevitable once a person is honest about his or her questioning. Ben Moore has been listening to BadChristian for 5 years and is one step away from being a major league baseball player for the L.A. Dodgers. We discuss what a baseball career looks like in general and in Ben’s current successful “baseball season of life.”

183 - Parenting Good Enough (-101) Apr 23, 2019

Joey shares some personal parenting mistakes, proposes some questions about parenting, and discusses some helpful findings he's had as a parent. In this first installment, he shares a story that poses the following question: is there such thing as kids having “healthy fear” of their parents? Also, there’s a cool financial app for kids called Greenlight and a must-read book called “Feeding the Mouth that Bites You.” This books reminds readers that "teen years" is a relatively new concept and in the 1930s, 15 year olds were managing their own families, households, and farms. As much as we'd like them to be still be kids, they are learning, young adults now. Thus, we may want to rethink how to parent these aliens in our house. I feel confident this book is a good start.

181 - Indie Rock Talk Apr 01, 2019

On this episode Joey, Jared and Logan discuss the history of Indie Rock. It's a very subjective discourse about the progression of indie/punk/etc, how the bands related to and influenced one another, as well as who the most influential bands were. It was a lot of fun talking about where grunge came from and how amazing it was the that "Nevermind" (Nirvana) "ended the hair-band metal" era. intro song by “The Long Valley.”

180 - More About These Digital Hang-Outs Mar 18, 2019

A handful of you who have signed up for the first wave of digital gatherings and will soon be joining 5 other folks to discuss changing beliefs and discover how each person found themselves still holding on to God. In this episode, Joey discusses the sucker punch of finding out there was no magic formula on how the Canon of Scripture came together and how 7 years later, he finds it a worthy endeavor to facilitate discussions that will give people permission to follow promptings, ask questions, push back and rest in God. Hopefully, through these gatherings many will be able to reconstruct some building-block essentials of a fresh approach to spirituality that entails a deeper level of trust, wider expectations of the infinite and confidence that a loving God is watching with delight as we doubt, question, draw closer, repel, wonder. He smiles a smile that says everything will be okay.

172 - How Can a Parent Abuse Their Own? Dec 09, 2018

I am not a perfect parent and neither are you, but my suspicion is that most parents desire the best for their kids and are driven to love unconditionally, giving parenting the best shot they can. The brutal reality is that many parents are their kids’ primary cause of pain and leave scars that last well into adulthood or through the duration of one’s life. From sexual and verbal abuse to the effects of war, Chip Judd tells his perspective of dysfunctional parenting.

163 - Can a Calvinistic God be Loving and Just? (a debate) Oct 08, 2018

What does it say about the character of God If there’s multitudes of people who will taste death without ever having an opportunity to be redeemed, only to be punished forever? How can God really love those whom He doesn’t reach out to? If an earthly father had the ability to rescue all of his kids but only rescues his favorites, wouldn’t we all call him a bad father? Chris Date (Rethinking Hell) and Dan Koch (Depolarize! Podcast and Reconstruct Podcast) see God very differently and during this episode, talk through their differences in the context of Calvinism, the likelihood of this doctrine being true and the implications if it is.

162 - Christian Entertainment w/ Ryan Gerard Oct 01, 2018

Ryan Gerard wrote “The Baptist – Part One; Judge’s Genesis,” s futuristic, science-fiction book that takes a look at the spiritual chess match going on behind the scenes of real life, centering around a Baltimore cop. We talk about this project, we discuss Christian entertainment in general and think through whether making art exclusively for Christians is a worthwhile endeavor. Here’s a summary of his first book in a series called “The Baptist.”In the year 2041, the world has become a worse place than we could imagine. On the brink of war, the world is on the verge of actually seeing time travel achieved in order to fix all the mistakes we've made. But, Baltimore cop, John Revele is lost inside the human condition. His passion for retribution of the innocent drives him to madness as he realizes there is not much he can do within the law. Outside of it is a different story all together. He rises up to battle evil on the streets in a vigilante blitz, but he learns that more is going on in the spectrum of good and evil then he realized. Supernatural forces are at play and God and the devil have made an arrangement for the souls of humanity. From street thugs, to mob kingpins, sex traffickers, and demonic forces, Revele brings his fight full force, but only to realize there is a much bigger war going on. In the face of evil--true evil--he will have to defeat his greatest nemesis--himself--in order to truly be ready for the next stage of the fight... www.baptistbookproject.com

154 - The Greatest Album, “Sin Disease,” With Allan Aguirre Aug 09, 2018

Back in 1991, Joey and Jared Svendsen’s lives would change forever at Cornerstone Festival. As 14 and 16 year olds, we waited with the crowds for this band Scaterd Few to take the stage. At the first chord, it was love at first sight. Attitude, punk, a bit of a twisted vibe, and this guy was singing about God? 27 years later, the album is just as musically relevant, standing the test of time, and maintaining a spot in both of our top tens of all time. Aguirre, frontman, joins the show to reminisce on Cornerstone '91, reflect on his musical career, talk about his life and faith, and grace us with his time to make our lives complete.

Kay Insley, part of the vocal ensemble “Zion’s Joy!” wrote a song and shot a video about unity, love and how great a hope that in heaven, every one may love one another for once.

Times and Fox News, and Kay gives us a behind the scenes scoop on the whole ordeal, as well as her opinion on all the awesome press they are receiving.

150 - When Death of a Son Forces You to Rethink God’s Promises Jul 09, 2018

Art Rash discusses the loss of his son a couple of years ago. Growing up in his Pentecostal faith resulted in his belief of universal protection and continual favor for him and God’s other kids. Standing on God’s promises guaranteed his provision and rescue to those who believe. But what does one’s faith in God’s provision mean, when He doesn’t provide nor rescue?

Polarization of our society is killing families, friendships and civility. Why do we have to “choose a side” and denigrate the other? Wouldn’t a discussion for the purpose of understanding be a better angle to take? Author of “Dancing in No Man’s Land: Moving with Peace and Truth in a Hostile World” wrote a book that lays out an alternative: being a person who will speak gently, value truth, think clearly and be okay with living in what he calls “no man’s land.”Brian Jennings and his book: http://brianjenningsblog.com/dancing-in-no-mans-land/ support this podcast by going to: https://www.patreon.com/pwnapod

141 - What a Study of the Apostle Peter Teaches Us About Jesus May 14, 2018

How did Peter transform from an uneducated fisherman into one of the most celebrated and beloved Jesus-followers in history? New Testament scholar Con Campbell wanted to find out. It's one thing to read about people in Scripture. It's another thing to trace their life histories to more fully understand their backgrounds and the profound effect Jesus had on them. Campbell invites you to join him in his pursuit of Peter. We also have some friendly discourse on biblical inerrancy given the way one reads Peter’s accounts is stringently relevant to how and what we learn from it.https://www.facebook.com/InPursuitOfPeter/

Chip Judd (30 years counseling experience) and Ellen Mauro (co-host of Depolarize!

136 - Anglican Priest Schools Us in Mainline Protestant Churches Apr 16, 2018

Father Wesley Walker (a BadChristian Media listener mind you) educates Joey on his religious affiliation and shares how he views and carries out his role of a priest. These two are both seen as “pastors,” but both have different self-reflections on what that means. It’s my opinion (Joey) that both approaches of shepherding are equally valid, equally flawed, and both approaches equally needed depending on context in which they are carried out.

132 - Depression Journal Episode 1 Mar 30, 2018

I caught myself getting sad, realized it wasn't based on anything, and was actually able to "snap out of it". Thought I'd tell you about it. The more we're honest and open about mental illness, the better off we all are. #mentalillnessunite

131 - Resurrection of Jesus, Analytical, Intelligent Father and Son Still Believe Mar 25, 2018

In fact they’re (Jack Hoey Jr, and Jack Hoey III) pretty much sure their belief of Jesus’ salvation through his death and resurrection is logically the most accurate approach to what transpired with “the Nazarene,” based on accounts of the events by eyewitnesses themselves; many of whom were murdered a martyrs death refusing to deny this belief.

130 - I’m a Christian and I Got a Divorce Mar 19, 2018

Joey’s friend John Lotterhos comes on to discuss his marriage, divorce and how he feels the church could possibly rethink how they steer folks to hurry up and get married. To make things a bit more interesting, Joey is the one who did John and his wife’s premarital counseling and wedding ceremony. Lastly, John just started a podcast and it’s actually good enough to give you a little taste of it on air.

129 - Hearing From Our Listeners - Christian and Lesbian Mar 18, 2018

Morgan joins us to share her appreciation for Badchristian and Pastor With No Answers as a lesbian listener. According to Morgan, this family of podcasts does well in keeping an open heart, admitting ignorance and approaching sensitive subjects with humility, something she says the church is unfortunately too often lacking. As a result, folks like Morgan go through seasons in which they are unsure if they have a place in the body of Christ.

128 - Very Intriguing, Real Stories of Homeless People (w/ Derek Snook) Mar 11, 2018

Derek Snook learned Christian values at an early age and was troubled by what he saw as a lack of true empathy among many who worked to alleviate poverty. By living with (that’s right, living with) and getting to know personally many homeless folks, he learned just how difficult it was for this population to land and keep good jobs. He decided to start an organization to help fix this problem and wrote a book, The Definition of Success: What Living Homeless Taught Me, that tells of all these experiences. Listen to Derek’s story and the stories of many folks’ struggle with homelessness.dereksnook.net

Today (and only this time) Joey asks Jack all the questions. Recently The BadChristian Podcast had two guests whom many would label heretics.

121 - Interview With an Illegal Weed Dealer Jan 31, 2018

Herman joins us to discuss his weed growing / weed selling career. What motivates him to sell weed? Is he constantly paranoid of getting caught? What separates him from many other weed dealers, where does he grow it, who does he sell it to? Hopefully this one will at the very least dispel some preconceived notions on marijuana and some of the good folks out there who sell it illegally.

De and Reconstruction With the Pastor and His Wife (part 1): Tracing our relationship back to the beginning and walking through time reflecting on where we were at in our faith 20 years ago, how we’ve changed and how we've influenced one another over time. In this episode, we discuss Pricilla’s early heartache on how the church wrote off LGBTQ lifestyle as sin, while Joey was fine with a “because the bible tells us so (it’s wrong)” mentality. Hear about Pricilla’s uneasiness concerning Joey’s admonishing to “make sure her dad was saved” before he passed away and how Joey instructed her in 2000 to vote for Bush because Gore was a baby killer. These stories and more.

119 - How to Be Zealous About Healing and Maintain Some Balance (w/ Chad Johnson) Jan 14, 2018

Many of you know Chad as “the Tooth and Nail, Takehold, Come and Live” guy; now you can also know him as the author of the book, One Thousand Risks. Chad and I are both Christians with extremely different upbringings which seem to have amounted to significantly different beliefs and approaches to miraculous healing. We’ll just nickname this episode the “Iron Sharpens Iron Episode of Healing.” Are some given a unique gift of faith in healing? Is it okay not to pray for healing? Is there a right way to pray or a right way to believe? We discuss a little bit of everything healing on this one.

Ben DeBono has a relatively unique story, transitioning from a Protestant faith to reciting prayers to Mary and Saints of old, confessing sins to priests and working for one’s salvation. At least that’s most people’s perspective of Catholicism. Could our assessments be off? Let’s ask a Catholic.

Joey brings a personal friend on who a couple years ago found himself in a scary struggle with anger. At its peak, he obliterated a door. Does a “regular, nice guy" who struggles with anger have the capacity to hurt his family and land in jail? We’ll never know with Joel because he took the road of accountability and transparency, inviting a few close friends into his personal business with hopes of sparing him from future mistakes. So far, so good.

Jesse Smith shares details of his struggle with mental illness including manic and bipolar. Joey, a “fellow sufferer” of mental illness reflects on his struggles and not surprisingly the two find lots of common ground. The importance of proactivity in taking care of one’s mind, the phenomenon of not being able to relate to one’s mentally ill mind using one’s sound mind, suicidal thoughts, the importance of transparency, and the art of loving yourself are just a few of the topics discussed on this one.

As military personnel, Lieutenant Colonel Ted Jacobson has some interesting thoughts on “answering a call” from God that often leads to taking the life of a human. WWJD, man? We also talk conspiracies, “NFL kneeling,” whether the Revolutionary War was justified in the context of a Christian worldview, we discuss Isis, reflect on USA’s integrity (or lack of) in fighting wars, reflect on putting a comrad out of his/her misery and shudder at the dangers of North Korea.

Wes Fahlenkamp is back on to discuss “the dead in Christ.” We’ve heard it all the time. “They’re in a better place.” “They’re with Jesus now.” “They are walking on streets of gold.” But every now and then, you get the less exciting point of view from some one who is convinced that the dead in Christ are totally dead, asleep, their consciousness waiting to be revived when Jesus resurrects the dead. Today, you get that less exciting point of view from Wes Fahlenkamp.

When it comes to the death of those who never accepted God’s plan of salvation through Jesus, our two guests agree on one thing. People are not eternally consciously tortured. While Chris Date (Rethinking Hell Podcast) believes these people will never see heaven but will rather be destroyed, Wes Fahlenkamp (author of Jesus and Hitler) believes that Jesus saves everyone.

105: A.I. and a Debate About God (w/ Jack Hoey and Godless) Sep 25, 2017

Can autonomous intelligent beings be created or will these “beings” always be machines with complex spreadsheets? If these beings can be created, what does this say about God? Speaking of God, what sort of evidence for “him” is out there, what prejudices affect our conclusions, and are Christians right in their beliefs, dishonest, mislead or just plain stupid? Oh, yeah, and that last question? Same question about atheists.

101 - Christian Universalism isn’t Heresy? Aug 27, 2017

Is there just as much evidence in the bible for Universalism as there is for heaven and hell, hell being a place for eternal conscious torment? What joy would it be to find in heaven that God saves everyone? What if the Christians “rule the nations,” but every one else is happy as a peach? Wes Fahlenkamp, a Pastor With No Answers listener, author of Jesus and Hitler, writer of the blog The Biggest Jesus, reads and believes in the same bible as the church, finds Universalism to be the most logical conclusion to the bible’s teaching on the afterlife.biggestjesus.com

92 - Does God Always Want to Heal? Jun 19, 2017

Some folks believe that God always wants to heal. If He does, why aren’t we all healed? Who’s fault is it that we aren’t? If it’s people’s responsibility to pray hard enough but God can heal any time he wants, is He playing games with us? Such a confusing web of thoughts to navigate; unless, God just doesn’t always want to heal. One of our guests isn’t willing to make this concession. Jack and Chip, both regulars on PWNA are friends, work together and are very different in their approaches to the Christian faith, especially in regards to healing.

91 - Why Do You Still Believe? w/ Michael Overcash (and how he was almost murdered) Jun 12, 2017

Continuing our mini-series that we’ll intermittently revisit over the years. We know of and have heard so many stories of people losing their faith, but what about those who still believe after decades? Experiencing seasons of doubt and unbelief is quite common, but afterwards, why do some come out on the other end still believing, while many do not? Introducing Christians from all walks of life, all angles of faith and one unique relationship with who they still, after all these years, consider “God” and “savior.” Michael Overcash, folks! And why he still believes. New series theme music by Andy Othling of http://www.lowercasenoises.com/

Author of many books including most recent, “Sin of Certainty” and host of the “Bible for Normal People” podcast, Pete Enns stops by to give the Pastor some answers on Calvinism, Nephilim and why the after-life potentially shouldn’t be seen as major doctrine. For many readers and listeners, Pete Enns' approach to the bible is humble, brings freedom and gives honor to God; while to others, it’s seen as dangerous and heretical.For Pete Enns' books and podcast: https://www.peteenns.com

87 - Bi May 15, 2017

Natalie Pagan shares her story of being a Christian — somewhat of a conservative one at that — and bisexual. She’s chosen to be "married heterosexually" and is committed to her husband; so obviously, there’s many questions to explore. And we did just that. Does she ever long to be with women? What's her opinion on the origins of her bisexuality? Will she fellowship with Christians who aren’t LGBTQ affirming? And much more! Find her on instagram @Natpag16pt2

83 - Christians With a (Not So) Christian Perspective of Hard Drugs Apr 17, 2017

From the Church and Other Drugs Podcast, these guys almost lost their lives to chasing pleasure found in illegal drug use. Mind-blowing stories of what it’s like to trip on drugs, these guys are convinced that during various drug trips, their eyes were opened to the spiritual realm. Do any highs feel like a super long orgasm? Is there such thing as healthy recreational use of cocaine in moderation? Because our brains have been made with the capacity for such pleasure, do you think we’ll tap into this in heaven? You think Jesus would have smoked weed?Find their podcast at: https://www.facebook.com/churchandotherdrugs/

Joey’s friend, Jason Brewer, comes on to discuss with him and Jared his music career with the Explorers Club, how his faith plays into day to day interactions on the road and with people in the music industry, and what it was like working with Joey and Toby at Seacoast Church (seacoast.org) The three have some fun reminiscing the old-school Christian bands of the 90s and make some “professional” assessments of NBA players. Maybe the best part of this episode is getting to hear some clips from the most recent Explorers Club album, “Together.” It’s seriously a must listen. Oh and Jason Brewer might be in the top 500 best guitarists of all time. http://www.theexplorersclub.com/

81 - Mars Hill Church Speaks (w/ Trisha Wilkerson) Apr 02, 2017

Tricia speaks as a woman and Pastor’s wife at Mars Hill. Mark Driscoll’s power and confidence drew her in, motivating her to give him the benefit of the doubt for years as she “managed Driscoll secrets,” given her close relationship with Grace Driscoll (Mark’s wife). On the podcast, she gives her best shot at assessing what’s going on cognitively in Mark Driscoll’s head. Now, years later, she misses her dear friend, Grace, desperately desires reconciliation with the Driscoll family, has both fond memories and dark reflections on being a part of the community and ministry at Mars Hill Church and has moved on as a stronger woman, helping others to do the same.To learn more about what Tricia (and husband, Mike) are up to, visit:https://redemptiongroups.com/There’s also a podcast!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/redemption-walk/id1220060117?mt=2

79 - Stress, Burn Out and Addicted to Sunday Mornings (w/ Chip Judd) Mar 26, 2017

Pastor Chip Judd comes on the show to talk about this concept a lot of ministry workers call “burn out.” Some pastors even blame their affairs on it. Is it a thing? I make no apologies for this episode being a “help episode,” potentially paving a way to better mental health. Concepts such as “self care isn’t selfish,” “thought awareness training,” and “stress being a habit” are discussed and there is an opportunity to take on and learn more about these practices at a deeper level by going to:www.Juddboundaries.com

77 - Miracles Scrutinized By a Skeptical Christian and an Atheist Mar 21, 2017

Pastor With No Answers regulars, Jack Hoey III and Scott Mellinger (Zao) discuss with Joey and Jared the plausibility of miracles. How often does God heal people? Why do so many Christians slap the label “miracle” on occurrences that easily have other explanations? Does Jesus only heal those with enough faith? Have we as a human species evolved past the point in which we need the concept of “miracles” to explain things science is now suited to explain? These questions are discussed and real-life “miracles” are assessed and critiqued on the show.

Happy President’s Day folks. We love presidential history. Not even joking. Today, we bring on two of our favorite guests to discuss best presidents, the over-rated, and the over-confident.

61 - Interesting Take on Genesis & Creationism (Dr. John Walton) Nov 27, 2016

Author and Professor Dr. John Walton (Wheaton College) joins Jared and "Country Boy" Ryan in a discussion on a contextually sensitive interpretation of Genesis. Ryan and Jared actually find common ground on this one. [episode note: my (Jared) main objection to "evolution" is the metaphysical materialism often associated with it, i.e. the origins of life and its subsequent development into more complex organisms occurred randomly, through blind, accidental natural processes only. I also object to the wholesale, dogmatic buy-in of evolution as a fact. Of course micro-evolution is a real phenomenon that can be observed today]

Joey and Jared's dad stops in to reminisce on Joey and Jared's childhood and upbringing, focussing on Joey's depression, irrational thinking and other stories told in his new book "Fundamentalist." From Joey's hallucinations to Virgil's decade-long fear that he'd spend an eternity in hell for saying the phrase "Holy Ghost" as an expletive, the three discuss how and why their brains malfunctioned so much, much of it related to the lenses in which they viewed God and sin through.

41 - Is it Weird That God Stops Redeeming People Jul 11, 2016

Our guests both find it puzzling that throughout all eternity God has a place reserved for people that He will never move towards redemption. Isn’t God always good? Does He lose something if a sect of his creation isn’t redeemed once and for all? If God is a tyrant, let’s all hope for the best. Is there more than meets the eye? Shouldn’t all Christians at least hope that all are saved? No thought is out of bound in this one.

We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin (KJV Guy) about how Trump pulled off the miracle of being a frontrunner in the presidential race, we discussed his chances at winning, and what major changes are in store for America with a Trump presidency. Is he trustworthy? Could he bring a deconstruction to the ineffective politics we all have trouble believing in? Is this potential worth the risk of having a loose canon in the Oval office? Our guests have some strong opinions on all these matters.

Brenda McBride shares the story of her tragic stillborn, the ensuing pain of infertility leading to another devastating miscarriage, and the miracle of how God redeemed it all. This is a story of prophesy that predicted these trials, a story of Christians having no idea how to interact with their sister in pain, a story of a marriage that persevered through the hell and high water.

34 - All About Worship Leading w/ Toby Morrell and Devin Shelton May 23, 2016

Is worship leading a calling? Do all worship leaders struggle with an ego? Should female worship leaders reveal cleavage? Is playing on people’s emotions bad? What percentage of worship leaders practice moves in the mirror? Should people try and worship, even when they don’t feel like it? Is it okay for “worship music” to be “a thing?” Devin Shelton (Emery) and Toby Morrell (Emery, BadChristian) along with our “off-the-charts” talented friend, Robbie Madison, chime into this unorthodox discussion on worship music and worship leading.
