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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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.
