To this day people argue both sides – just as the court did in the 1940s. (Hellish Nell) *** They loved to drink, and party. They both loved kinky sex, fell in love, and decided to move in together. But their strongest bond would came later – when new couple decided to go on a killing spree. (The Sunset Strip Killers) *** No one could believe that mild-mannered Charlie Brandt had mutilated his wife and niece, until they discovered his grisly past… when he killed his mother when he was only thirteen. (Charlie Brandt Couldn't Stop Killing) *** Encountering the supernatural is no fun and games… unless it is. (Haunted Stuyvesant Hall) *** We've all seen plastic bags take on a personality when blown with a light breeze, seemingly dancing on their own power. But what if what we only thought that was a plastic bag in the wind? Could it have been something more? (Last Dance) *** They say, “be careful what you wish for”. That is especially true if you're doing your wishing through a spirit or Ouija board. (Wishing On the Ouija) *** The executioner tried three separate times to hang the man – rope around the neck, lever pulled… but John walked away alive each time. (The Man They Could Not Hang) *** How can you tell if you are seeing a ghost or something real if it looks as solid as anything else? (I Saw a Spirit) *** If you move into a house that looks like a scene from a horror movie, you probably shouldn't be surprised when you have an encounter with the paranormal. (Ghost Girl In The Old Room) *** The body of Gareth Williams was found stuffed inside a duffel, with the bag's zipper padlocked from the outside. Was it because he was discovered to be a spy? (The Spy In The Bag) *** A father and son tending to their horses are puzzled by how strange the horses were behaving – until they looked up. (Huge Bright UFO Hovered Over Horses) *** While bow hunting, a young man sees what he describes as a Bigfoot… which isn't something you often hear from a place like Kansas. (Bottomland Bigfoot in Eastern Kansas) *** On the way to the beach for some fun, two friends experience fear instead when confronted by a large winged creature. (Huge Winged Being) *** The Bethlem Royal Hospital insane asylum is so notorious that a word originally coined there entered the English language as a word for confusion and disorder… Bedlam (Bedlam – The Real Horror Story Behind the Name) *** Dorothy received phone calls regularly from a stalker, and it frightened her she considered buying a gun, and she began taking self-defense classes. But that didn't stop her from disappearing without a trace.

This week, I wanted to give you a few solid tools for when your footing feels unstable. Moving through grief, we tend to hurry and often find ourselves slipping into old ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that reinforce the hurt when we want to move into the healing. So this week we are going to discuss how to move into lament and why it's so valuable as we heal. Links + Resources from this episode: Abby Norman's book "You Can Talk to God Like That."

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.  Abby Norman:https://abbynorman.net/https://twitter.com/abbynormansaysEllen Mauro:  https://www.instagram.com/ellenmauroJack Hoey: @jackthelesser (twitter and Instagram) Joey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee giving opportunity: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsSupport Us:Join us as a patron! https://www.patreon.com/pwnapodor leave a Venmo tip right @  https://venmo.com/joey-svendsenJoin the discussion:https://www.facebook.com/groups/PWNAtalkSocials:https://twitter.com/pwnapodhttps://twitter.com/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Theme Song courtesy of Derek Minor:  http://www.derekminor.comOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton + friendshttps://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.com/http://embassyfreqs.com/Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

Today Abby Norman returns to the podcast to talk about the importance and transformative, healing power of lament - as she discusses in her new book "You Can Talk to God Like That".  We talk about the importance of naming our pain, feeling our pain, and giving voice to the grief and trauma we carry. We explore how naming our pain and lamenting it, actually robs it of its power, and opens up the pathway to healing.  We also talk about how lament and naming our pain, allows us to find deeper connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the divine.  *** 'You Can Talk To God Like That' releases May 18th in all formats in the US & on Kindle / Audiobook in the UK, and in paperback in the UK on July 20th.

With everything that we've all gone through this last year-and-a-bit, it's natural to mourn the things we can't do anymore. This week's Why Me Project features a refreshing and honest conversation with Abby Norman about the power of lament. Abby talks about: Wild start Homelessness Talking to God Why Me?

"It is an act of worship to tell God what kind of spot we're in. Lament is not just something we can do. It is way of worship we are called to."When was the last time you practiced lament?//Psalm 22:1-18My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer; and by night, but find no rest.Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them.To you they cried, and were saved; in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.But I am a worm, and not human; scorned by others, and despised by the people.All who see me mock at me; they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;“Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver— let him rescue the one in whom he delights!”Yet it was you who took me from the womb; you kept me safe on my mother’s breast.On you I was cast from my birth, and since my mother bore me you have been my God.Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.Many bulls encircle me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me;they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint;my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;my mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me.My hands and feet have shriveled;I can count all my bones.They stare and gloat over me;they divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.//This episode was written and recorded by Abby Norman.

For the first episode of 2021, pastor and author Abby Norman joins me to reflect on 2020 and to discuss the importance of talking to each other and to God about our personal, and collective grief.  Abby talks about how we need to learn how to embrace lament, to name our grief before others and with God. We talk about examples of this in our own lives, and in scripture. Abby shares how grief and lament have the power to give us healing and invite us into personal and spiritual transformation, and connect with Jesus and the divine in more intimate way.

Growing up inside evangelicalism, its likely you knew what "Train up a child in the way he should go" meant. It was clear how parenting should be done. We already knew all the answers - God's way or the highway. Enter deconstruction, and all the things once taken for granted about how we would raise our kids went out the window. Todays guest is a pastor, author and a mother who has been through deconstruction so she knows this territory. Abby Norman sheds some light on how to parent, and how to "person" post deconstruction.

Join Bailey Welch-Pomerantz and Abby Norman as they talk about the joys and challenges of parenting in today's world, the education system, and race relations. Abby reminds us that it's okay to be wrong and shows us how by teaching us how to apologize to our kids. The last few minutes is Bailey's favorite part, as Abby dives deep into the holiness of lament. . . . Abby Norman is the pastor of a church plant in Atlanta with her husband and two daughters. After nine years of teaching in the classroom, she now preaches from the pulpit and is in the process of seeking ordination with the United Methodist Church.

Sometimes you don't know why you're reading a book other than the fact that the title has the words "uterus" and "pain" in it. That was my experience when I said "yes" to Abby Norman's passionate new book, Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain. To be honest, when I first started reading it I thought: I'm not too sure I want to read a pain memoir. But about 50 pages in, when I found myself unable to stop talking with my husband at breakfast about the book, I knew I was hooked. In this episode, Abby and I talk about her health journey, the little that's known about endometriosis and the myths out there (it's shocking), plus we explore why women who talk about their pain are often not believed and what we can do about it. Get a huge cup of something restful to drink, lay back, and join us. Abby's such a treat!

It's time for us to discuss "Ask Me About My Uterus" by Abby Norman, her memoir about her eight-year journey to get diagnosed with endometriosis. We picked this book because it takes women almost seven years on average to get diagnosed with endometriosis, which is insane given that 176 million women worldwide suffer with the disease. (Our discussion episodes are spoiler-filled. If you just want an overview of the book, go check out Episode 17 instead!) We start things off with book news, then jump into some pretty heavy topics. TRIGGER WARNING: we discuss doctor's unwillingness to believe women in pain. But if you're a woman--or you have women you love in your life--we think you'll find this episode both shocking and enlightning. Even more importantly, we share your stories about your own run-ins with disbelieving doctors. So stick with us! We promise there are some good laughs along the way, too.

How do we account for Richard Nixon's stubborn unpopularity? Sure, he was a liar and a crook, but that has not stopped the rehabilitation of many a politician – as a new biography appears Barton Swaim joins us to discuss; why is it that certain ailments suffered by women are so scarcely discussed or resolved? Leonore Tiefer considers endometriosis and a "legacy of disinterest"; “The world is far more complicated than what we see”, says the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, putting it mildly. Reality “is mind-blowing” – here, he discusses the structure of time with the TLS's Samuel GraydonBooksRichard Nixon: The Life by John A.
