Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

*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.

193 - Depression Journal II (Season 2): Breaking Down Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

I am being a bit obnoxious by calling this “season 2,” but undoubtedly there has been a lot of change, challenge, learning and pain recently. Thus, a new season in this journey of my battle with mental illness.
