EP62 - Perverted Attractions? Progress for Women? You be the Judge. May 27, 2025

Show notes

[The episode has three friends in it: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, and Hayne Griffin]

Joey read a book that captures the American history of adolescent girls' commitment to having the best possible body. You can check out "The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls" here.

With some of the book's contents as the context, Joey, Hayne and Amy talk through women's arduous struggle toward gender equality and how far along society has come, while Joey now having read this book, admits ignorance to many aspects of the challenge for women.

Amy opens up about some personal body image issues, personally relating to the societal research spelled out in this particular book. Joey and Hayne try to explain why they are not sexually attracted to 20 year olds and Amy gives her best shot at explaining why she thinks they are not.

EP61 - Fairness To Both Genders in Sports & Raising Boys vs. Girls Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has Amy Alderman, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen]

Joey brought up his lack of interest in the WNBA as well as his unmatched preference for women's gymnastics over men's gymnastics as an ice breaker in this episode; but the conversation evolved and carried on into what "being a boy" and "being a girl means," as well as the impact of nature verses nurture in such matters. Joey shares a bullying situation from middle school and Joey and Amy try to understand what Stoy means in his "every behavior is acceptable" tirade.

Show notes

Steadfast Summit Conference (March 28th & 29th, Charleston Southern University)

Jessie Evans, M.Ed., LPC joins the podcast to discuss her work of bridging professional counseling with faith. Her and Joey discuss experiences (good and bad) they've encountered in how the church handles mental health issues. They also reflect on personal struggles in their own mental health and in the process discuss EMDR therapy, the importance of sleep, perinatal OCD, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and what can be learned from the Inside Out movies. Lots to learn from Jesse Evans on this one.

EP60 - John Calvin (ism) and Donald Trump Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen in it]

Stoy is quiet and usually disregarding of politics but the recent "meeting" with Trump and Zelensky has his head swirling, motivating him to "talk politics" with some fervor on this one. Hayne is very distrustful of politicians, the media, the church, and people who are "bought." He also reminds us all of some ancient wisdom about fear. And Joey just had to use this episode to get Stoy's reaction on hearing the doctrine of Calvinism for the first time.

EP59 - Tragedy Leads to Extended Life Mar 04, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has Chip Judd, Roy Jacques and Joey Svendsen in it. It originally aired on Mental Health + Mission of the Church Podcast]

Chip Judd, friend of this podcast having made numerous appearances on it through the years, has had quite the recent life journey that could have ended his life, given his lungs were failing him. It's a story of a tragic loss of life with some redemption in it. Chip's life is no longer in danger, at least no more than the rest of us, but this new health status of his and "second chance" at life, came with a price.

Chip will be connected in the profoundest of ways to one who lost his life to a battle with mental illness, this being one of the very life challenges Chip was put on this earth to help bring hope and life to.

After Chip tells this story, with a mutual friend Roy, Chip and Joey talk through many physiological aspects of grief involving the brain, including what Chip believes to be an overuse of medication for people battling through seasons of grief.

EP58 - God Cares, But this Life is a Vapor Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Jed Payne and Joey Svendsen in it]

Is pledging allegiance to a flag weird or even creepy? If one believes in hell, is it kind of psycho to make jokes about people going there? Just how much does God intervene in the affairs of humanity and work on behalf of people's prayers? And if God intervenes in more important "life or death" matters, why does God only stop a few? These questions discussed and no answers were established. Just another episode of PWNA.

EP57 - Generation X Parenting, Triggers and Sex Culture Gone Wild Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has: Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen]

Amy's husband goes by "Dick." After getting through some jokes and reverting back to being middle school kids, three "Gen-X-ers" talk parenting, including differing opinions on tough love, the prospect of out-living one's child and what age-appropriate discipline may look like. Are we now raising a soft generation? Stoy gives updates on his "NBA bound" son and the four reflect on teen suicide and how sex culture for teens is becoming dirtier and dirtier, each of these Gen-X parents likely sounding like their own "Boomer parents" did, 30 years ago.

EP56 - God Still Mad at You, Bro? Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

[This episode has Robbie Madison, Jed Payne and Joey Svendsen in it]
Feels like a chill time of encouragement amongst three friends, like it's a church small group. Robbie sheds some light on the fallacy that "only good things should happen because of God," Jed still struggles with the concept of a "tit for tat" God, and Joey tries to encourage Jed with his own journey along the same lines after he shuts up about a recent UFO sighting of his.
