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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

218 - Chris Dudley of Underoath Band on Health, Evangelicalism, VR. Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

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).
Before Chris joins the show, Natalie laments on how Kanye West’s gospel album broke her heart in to teeny tiny, little pieces.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

212 - John Mark Mcmillan and Joey Svendsen De and Reconstruction of Faith Jan 25, 2020

Show notes

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.”
