[This Episode's crew: Stoy Prioleau, Joey Svendsen, Ellen Mauro, Hayne Griffin]Stoy and Joey have lost all hope in the government, not voting for any presidential candidate, Hayne and Ellen didn't get the results they wanted, it affected Ellen deeply. Joey feels guilty about his emotional-less relationship with politics, recognizing his privilege likely plays a part in this. Ellen is frustrated with compassionate people who don't vote, like Joey and Stoy and fears the worst with this second Trump presidency.  Hayne doesn't think the extant of Ellen's fears are warranted and Stoy doesn't understand why Ellen has any hope in the system, in the first place.  Joey asks Ellen how she'd have reacted if one of the guys voted for Trump, Ellen has plans of starting a "white women only" group, hoping to rally "her kind" (not her words) to be proactive in fighting against the racism and misogyny she believes Trump voters have turned a blind eye to.  The four also discuss the nuance of good people being on both sides of the political aisle. Support the podcast here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Mechanical River & Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces other podcasts.

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]Part 1 can be listened to or viewed on YouTube. Joey shares how his "pure lifestyle" was celebrated amongst parents of other kids in youth group while inside, he felt overburdened by a never- ending, dark spiritual season, years on end. Jon wants to know what Joey actually cherishes from the old youth group days, Billy concurs that the guilt was excessive but the relationships were so dear to him, also traveled from Chicago last year just to be at the reunion.  Gail reflects back on what she describes as having had a feeling of unworthiness, especially when she was around the other Christians who appeared to have "their stuff" together.

[Produced by Stoy Prioleau, with Hayne, Stoy, Amy and Joey]On Part 1 of this conversation, "Firefighter Hayne, Doing the Lord's Work in Ravaged North Carolina," listeners heard stories of Helene's destruction in Western North Carolina through the personal story of our firefighting friend, Hayne Griffin, recounting that dreadful night that took his whole community by surprise.  As the conversation carried on during the recording, the hosts got into some theology about God and prayer, in the context of natural disasters.  This "part 2" captures that deeper layer of discussion including Joey's lack of faith in praying for storms to turn away and the nuance of reframing "natural disasters" as simply "nature." and how things are.  Support the podcast here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces other podcasts.

[Produced by Joey Svendsen, this episode is a collection of clips from a recent Seacoast Church Podcast, link to full episode RIGHT HERE].Regular to the PWNA Podcast through the years, here's an update on our good friend and Pastor, Chip Judd's physical health, as well as some talk (from the Seacoast Podcast) on how the church has dropped the ball in many ways on truly helping people change for the better, due to its rejection of science and cold shoulder through the years to the professional mental health community.  Chip is embarrassed by the church but is motivated to help bridge some gaps.  The conversation closes out with a discussion on whether Jesus wants us to be happy.   Keep up with Chip's YouTube Channel.  Support the Podcast / Supercast / Venmo E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces other podcasts.

[Honoring our brother, Hayne Griffin, who's been doing the Lord's work, with Hayne, Stoy, Amy and Joey] During the night of the 26th of September, Hurricane Helene took western North Carolina by storm, pun intended.  What would follow is complete devastation of houses, businesses, electricity, dependable water supply, roads, and human life.  Hear Hayne's story of that night on duty as a firefighter, 16 years experience in his field, as he went to bed anticipating a busy night.  He just never in his wildest dreams could have imagined.   Amy, Joey and Stoy sit with Hayne to hear his story, check in on their pal who's carrying a lot right now.  They ask clarifying questions to get a clear sense of the current conditions and together reflect on societal observations, including the difference between "people being irresponsible in dangerous situations" and "people simply uneducated and/or lacking the resources to stay safe."  Hayne and his family are in the middle of processing the horror and beauty all around them.  Special thanks to Hayne, rescue workers and volunteers who help keep us safe.  Even when we're dumb.   The conversation wraps on some theology about God and prayer, in the context of natural disasters.  But we hit the pause button before we got too far down that road, as we're saving that portion for a part II.  We wanted Hayne's story to stand on its own two, on this one.

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]you can watch this conversation on YouTube here. Joey joins three old friends from the old youth group, all but one are still Christians but you'll never guess; all four contributors have changed much.  Joey shares with his friends on this episode that, due to his current beliefs, the old church family, or at least many of them, would probably have a hard time believing that Joey is still a Christian.  Billy, or shall we call him "Youth Group Superman," was surprised to hear how highly revered he was by his peers back in the day.  Gail has a child who is a trans person and admittedly was ready to pounce as a mother bear, in the event of possible conversation that's derogatory to the LGBTQ community.  Jon definitely still swears as an adult but shares how as a youngster, he didn't truly understand -- or walk out -- Jesus' command to love others.  Talking about our experiences as kids together, for the first time as adults.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces other podcasts.

[This episode, produced by Joey Svendsen, has Ellen Mauro, Jed Payne, Joey Svendsen, and special guest and original host to the show, Jared Svendsen]Televangelists like Kenneth Copeland's behavior don't appear reflective of God by any means, and it certainly seems as if people are being led astray by the sort of prosperity gospel teaching he espouses.  However, there seems to be more to Mr. Copeland's story and it's difficult ruling out just plain 'ol evil.  Thus, Ellen, Jed, Jared and Joey do not.The four also get an update from their good friend and co-host of the show, Hayne Griffen, a firefighter in Asheville NC smack dab in the middle of search and recovery, trying to help put the pieces of his community back together.  Lastly, Ellen finally gets to push back on the pushback she has received thus far to her plans to visit a medium to investigate talking to the dead.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces other podcasts.

This episode was originally recorded in July of 2016, shortly after Donald Trump became the Republican Party's presidential candidate.  Little did we know at the time of this conversation, that in 5 short months, he would be the next president of the United States of America.   [show-notes from episode 40]  We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin about how Trump pulled off the miracle of being a frontrunner in the presidential race, we discussed his chances at winning, and what major changes are in store for America with a Trump presidency. Is he trustworthy? Could he bring a deconstruction to the ineffective politics we all have trouble believing in? Is the potential value of a Trump presidency worth the risk that comes from having a loose canon in the Oval office? Our guests have some strong opinions on all these matters.Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Derek Minor. Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces two other podcasts, coming more from the church world:Seacoast Church's Things You Won't Hear on Sunday Podcast &The Endurance Factor Podcast Other podcasts affiliated with co-hosts of PWNA:Jed's Church & Other DrugsMatt's The Great Deconstruction

[This episode with Amy Alderman, Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen was produced by Joey Svendsen]The host crew talk morals and parenting in the context of "Grand Theft Auto," a video game not allowed in the Svendsen household, in which the player goes around society committing egregious crimes for pure entertainment. Joey explains his disdain for the "Karen" label and believes it exposes some of the deeper roots of what's wrong with the current "judgmental state" of today's society.  Lastly, the four discuss the deeper heart mechanics in communicating serious matters with people of opposing views and how patience and grace should be afforded to those who may not intend harm, taking into consideration their unknown backstories, difficult life-circumstances and/or harmful childhood upbringings.

[This episode is with hosts Stoy Prioleau, Joey Svendsen and "fam" to the show, Heather Zastrocky & Dick Alderman. Produced by Joey Svendsen]Joey is all "grandpa softy" on this one, wanting everyone to learn how to enjoy the great world of sports without the torture from losses, including some "cheesy mush" about how the real fun of sports, is in being a fan of "your team."  Congrats to Joey on his newly found maturity.  Amidst Joey's "freedom talk" to sports fans is "favorite athletes" and "most devastating losses" talk, a dissection of trash talking on and off the field, whether professional athletes are fair game to belittling critique and mockery, and whether it's fun to see the opposite fanbase in pain. Joey thinks cheerleading and professional wrestling are the same kind of sport, Heather reminds people why sports isn't "just a game," Dick shares why he had to give up Fantasy Football, Stoy sheds tears over Dusty Rhodes and thinks it's a sin not to be a fan of #23.

Joey presents a couple of jokes he saw on instagram, one was a story by a comedian about a family member with down syndrome, the other was a black male mocking the voices and facial expressions of white college, female students. Can comedy go too far?  Is every topic fair game to laugh at?  Is there a "right way" to make fun of anything?  Recently on a text feed amongst the podcast host team, Amy thought Hayne made a "fat joke" about her and even though he didn't, Amy shares why she wouldn't have objected.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song, other Music by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicOther music: Mechanical River, Derek Minor.

[Recorded on the evening of July 15 2024, in this episode:  Joey Svendsen, Ellen Mauro, Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau]What does it say about the heart of a human being when one celebrates the demise of an enemy?  Is that a deficiency of something one should be praying for God's help about, or is such a celebration ever celebration-worthy?  The crew discuss their thoughts on the assassination attempt to Donald Trump, bat around some conspiratorial considerations surrounding the deal, and delve into deeper heart issues including their own when it comes to the suffering and demise of enemies.The top of the episode consists of catching up with Ellen (link to her TikTok), as it has been a while.  She's still sober, still a Christian but is considering trying her luck with talking to the dead.  She has some very serious motivation and reasons for this endeavor that she pinpoints for her co-hosts and the general listenership.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song and Intro Music: Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Rock): Apple MusicClosing and intro music by Derek Minor.Extra Music: Mechanical RiverSend a text to the crew (we may read these on air) Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces two other podcasts, coming more from the church world:Seacoast Church's Things You Won't Hear on Sunday Podcast &The Endurance Factor Podcast Other podcasts affiliated with co-hosts of PWNA:Jed's Church & Other DrugsMatt's The Great Deconstruction

[Recorded on the evening of May 15 2024, in this episode:  Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, Matt Oxley]With “Firefighter Hayne” present, the host crew discuss some pretty intense emergency situations that Hayne was also present at while working his vocation as a rescue worker. Somehow the discussion shifts to everyones' most fearful ways to die and whether the jumpers' acts on 9/11 were suicides, even though they were going to die regardless. Great fun!  But don't fear, the conversation gets a bit more light-hearted.  Given the recent Independence Day celebration and with a chaotic election season looming, christian nationalism, what Jesus would say to the American church, and whether “winning” has anything to do with the gospel, are some of the topics at hand on this one.  The catalyst of the conversation = Joey's son and some of his peers got a singing gig for a gathering of conservative Christians, their meeting centering around "winning the country back to God" and steering America's culture back in alignment with biblical values.  All of this got Joey thinking about Jesus winning by losing (His death and resurrection); and whether Christians should be concerned whatsoever with winning their country back to God.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song and Intro Music: Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Rock): Apple MusicClosing and intro music by Derek Minor.Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces two other podcasts, coming more from the church world:Seacoast Church's Things You Won't Hear on Sunday Podcast &The Endurance Factor Podcast Other podcasts affiliated with co-hosts of PWNA:Jed's Church & Other DrugsMatt's The Great Deconstruction

[in this episode:  Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffin, Jed Payne, Stoy Prioleau]British actor and comedian, Russell Brand, apparently converted to Christianity and this sort of thing makes Joey and Jed excited, while Hayne could not care any less than what he does about celebrities "joining the team."  All three consider themselves Christians and thus discuss the possible intricacies that explain their vastly different reactions, Joey dissecting his reaction in the context of his belief in a universal salvation plan.    Joey also plays A.I. voices of this episode's co-hosts, Stoy, Jed and Hayne; the four discuss a few “A.I. questions," like, can AI “personalities” provide adequate intimacy and connection at least at a baseline level, to those who will opt for it over the more treacherous quest for real, human connection?  And If A.I. manufactured child porn can leave children the hell out of the equation, should we consider this to be a possible solution to keeping kids safe from predators?  Or is this no solution at all?  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song and Intro Music: Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Rock): Apple MusicClosing and intro music by Derek Minor.Send a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Host and producer, Joey Svendsen also hosts and produces two other podcasts, coming more from the church world:Seacoast Church's Things You Won't Hear on Sunday Podcast &The Endurance Factor Podcast Other podcasts affiliated with co-hosts of PWNA:Jed's Church & Other DrugsMatt's The Great Deconstruction

[This Episode: Hosts, Hayne Griffin, Matt Oxley, Joey Svendsen and guest, John Pavlovitz] Any one want more courage and compassion when cruelty is trending?  Can we get an amen or two?   With guest and author John Pavlovitz, we navigate themes of judgment, emotional reactions, and the delicate balance of maintaining hope within societal systems. Together, we uncover the transformative power of breaking down preconceived notions through genuine human connection.   Navigating social media's treacherous landscape, we delve into maintaining personal authenticity amidst contrasting communities and trending cruelty. Through insights from John's poignant book, "Worth Fighting For: Finding Courage and Compassion when Cruelty is Trending," we discuss strategies to remain compassionate and genuine, even when faced with pervasive negativity. The episode wraps up with a  discussion on redemptive anger, political divisiveness, and the moral dilemmas in voting, culminating in a testament to resilience and advocating for justice in an often unresponsive political landscape.

[appearing on this episode: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman and guest, David Schirduan]David Schirduan grew up with a very similar faith-background as Joey's, but the biggest difference?  David spent a part of his "youth group, high school days" in the youth group that Joey led almost 20 years ago. David creates literature for folks who enjoy role-playing games, many of these games along the same lines of Dungeons and Dragons.   Growing up, both Joey and David were taught that these types of games belonged in the same category as tarot cards, ouija boards and other satanic tools that should be avoided due to the sorts of evil spirits they are likely connected to.  David is still a practicing Christian and comes on the show to shed some light on Dungeons and Dragons and walk us through how role-playing games work, hoping to lessen the stigma and eliminate some unwarranted fears amongst the christian community.  With co-host Amy Alderman providing staunch pushback, these two alongside Joey Svendsen, talk through the morals of dabbling in things that are seen by most Christians as evil that needs to be avoided.  David walks Joey through a role-playing game scenario and explains how role-playing games can be used for beauty, connection and healthy creativity.

[Contributors to this Episode: Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffen, Jack Hoey, Derek Kubilus]In EP10 of the Podcast, 4 months or so ago, Derek Kubilus introduced us to his perspective on a Universal salvation plan carried out by Jesus, captured in his new book, Holy Hell.  Regular guest, Jack Hoey, read the book and didn't have a positive reaction, even felt like it was contemptuous.  Hosts Joey Svendsen and Hayne Griffen beg to differ, and the four discuss.

[in this episode: Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks and host, Joey Svendsen]Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks joins to talk her newest book, Holy Ghosted: Spiritual Anxiety, Religious Trauma, and the Language of Abuse, which is a follow-up to her previous book Gaslighted by God.  Together, her and Joey discuss spiritual anxiety (including scrupulosity), the important difference between deconstructing faith and deconstructing God, and how spiritual questions are a sign of closeness rather than separation from God, the damaging characteristics of toxic religious communities, and many other themes found in Holy Ghosted. More about "Holy Ghosted": Equipping readers to understand and name tactics of spiritual abuse and manipulation, each chapter covers a different method of control found in toxic religious communities--including legalism, indoctrination, praise, and fear--and how to identify and respond to it healthily. Brooks also reframes scriptural passages commonly weaponized by those in power. Weaving together interviews with diverse Christians and her own experience, Brooks empowers readers to trust their intuition, seek truth fearlessly, and love God and neighbor without restraint or fear.Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song and Intro Music: the rhyme slayer himself, Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Rock): Apple MusicClosing music by Derek Minor.

[on this episode: Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler and Joey Svendsen]Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, MD started a TikTok account, began to acquire a very large following and literally became hooked.  After he started to ignore his family because of the "TikTok addiction," his wife and daughters took matters into their own hands, pointed out to him the severity of his issue and pleaded for him to get help.  Now clean from his addiction, he decided to do his own research on social media addiction and his findings are captured in his book, "Influenced: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception."Telling his story on media outlets such as Fox News, Dr. Brian instructs others from a place of humility.  Discovering firsthand the allure of being "followed," "liked," and the ensuing Dopamine hits each exposure elicits, if it wasn't for his caring  and persistent family, the doctor may still be locked in for more Dopamine, constantly obsessing and coming back for more.   He shares his story and his findings.  His book outlines the dangers of social media, sometimes (as he claims) just as deadly as a gun, but it also highlights the good coming from this 21st Century invention that has changed the world, producing many out-of-control addictions like the one Dr. Brian overcame.  Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song: Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Rock): Apple MusicOther music by Jejune and Derek Minor.  

Of all the languages in the world, music is one of the most profound. Its many shapes and forms can stir up a vast spectrum of emotions and tell stories in a way like no other.  Candi Staton is a legendary, 4x Grammy nominated R&B and gospel singer. Candi vulnerably opens up about how her music was a direct reflection of things she was facing, including an absent father, an abusive marriage, and a battle with alcoholism, and how the music helped her build a bridge to God for herself and others. nobigdyl. found his way into the music industry at an early age, and stumbled upon an unexpected blessing when his mentor, Christian rapper Derek Minor, fired him so that he would be “pushed out of the nest.” Now, in his music, he addresses difficult topics like mental health problems in order to help listeners feel less alone.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Gloria Gaynor Upcoming interview: Jen Lilley Thank you to our sponsor: www.give.cru.org    Candi Staton Nashboro Records in Nashville Sam Cooke Lou Rawls Aretha Franklin Five Blind Boys Matthew 11:28-30 NIV www.candi-staton.com   nobigdyl.

I put everything in that song that I would do if I was singing it for the first time.” - Candi Staton “Difficult times always come, you just trust God. He knows the ending from the beginning and the beginning from the ending. He knows all of that. He's already been there. He's already paved the way out. And if you keep those kinds of things in mind, knowing that God has got your back and He's going to lead you into the path of righteousness for His namesake, you can make it through anything.” - Candi Staton “Whatever job you have, whatever career you have, that amount of hours and those setbacks and changing direction and second guessing yourself and redoing it and failing and then succeeding, it's the same thing for artists.” - nobigdyl. “I think that being a believer, a follower of Christ, no part of our life is exempt from caring and honoring for the other person.” - nobigdyl. “He has created us in His image, we are very complex creatures, and I think that an honest look at the Scriptures suggests so much of what we need in these situations where we feel depressed or we feel anxious or we're hurting in any way. We need people to sit with us, to walk with us, to care for us tangibly.” - nobigdyl. “Prayer is essential for me, and one thing that I learned about prayer was that the less I thought of it as a kind of rigid ritual and the more I thought about it as meeting with a Father who loves me, that kind of opened up my prayer life in a whole different way.” - nobigdyl. ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Super excited to have on my bro's' Thad Cockrell & Derek Minor talking through soul care, rest, and everything in between. Sign up for my worship conference happening 10/21 in Baltimore, MD trevorchin.com/reimaginingworship 

Derek Minor has been in the "rap game" for a long time and over the years has made numerous albums, started a non-profit, produced albums for other artists and established himself as one of the main hosts on the Relevant Podcast  (one of the most downloaded Christian podcasts out there).  In recent years, Derek went through a bout of depression and took a journey of soul- searching that compelled him to seek (and find) true contentment and deep happiness.  To do this, he had to face his own demons, including "daddy wounds" and hurt caused by the church.  Most importantly, he had to look in the mirror with honesty.   A culmination of his journey is captured in his recent album, "Nobody's Perfect."  The album, full of grit, honesty, compassion and hope is the reference point of this conversation Derek had with host, Joey Svendsen.  You'll hear his story through his words on this interview and through the songs on his album, which are intertwined throughout the episode.  Get ready for a dose of hope, a story of perseverance and a testimony of restoration from the Most High.  And hip-hop fans, get ready to bob that head.

Press rewind with Kara, Ansen, and Isaac as they discuss the on-repeat song of the week from Derek Minor, pause to talk about how to deal when you're super bad at something new, and look forward to a low-pressure Valentine's Day.

What are soul ties? And do they have biblical foundations?  Soul ties are widely recognized as emotional and spiritual connections between two people after becoming physically intimate. Even the bible states in 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 16: Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But did you know you could have a soul tie with someone who you may not have been physically intimate? Soul Ties can also happen when one experiences an emotional connection with someone. And it's possible that it can be with someone of the same sex, regardless of “physical” attraction. This includes close friends or even someone who fulfilled a “advisory” role in your life.  Why it becomes a soul tie is because of the deep emotional bond that was experienced.  What are the signs you have a soul tie?  Symptoms include obsessing about a person in your thoughts, dreaming about a person or waking up thinking about a person regularly and imagining or hearing the persons voice inside your head. It is possible that the symptoms can reach a level where they impact your current or future relationships. Even to the extent that you think about that person during inopportune times like while being intimate with your current partner.  Soul ties can lead to manipulation, regardless of whether it is intentional or not. They can also sabotage current and future relationships. Soul ties work through the 5 senses. And just like PTSD you can experience triggers. Especially if the soul tie relationship was a toxic partner or significant other who was emotionally or physically abusive.  Can soul ties be broken? Just because a relationship ended doesn't mean that the bond did. Just like grief there are stages of healing. And you can't heal what you don't acknowledge. Once you identify and acknowledge the soul tie, you must decide to do something about it. It's time to take action. If the soul tie is with an abusive ex, therapy may be needed. Journaling will also give you a healthy way to process your emotions and the relationship; giving you insight on what you can do to continue healing.  And most importantly; pray. Pray without ceasing. When thoughts of the person come to your mind, pray. Ask God to remove them and for guidance and strength in this spiritual battle.  Special guest, wrestler turned rapper Monster Tarver shares his experience with soul ties in this episode as well as growing up in the church and his spiritual regimen. Opening up about his spiritual awakening after realizing how secular music was poisoning his spirit Tarver shares how he began to seek out Christian music and the joy he found when he discovered Derek Minor and CHH.  Going through a season of depression after loosing his wrestling contract and then getting divorced; his mentor powerlifter Tony Conyers helped Tarver learn how to read and understand the bible ushering the newest member of GOM into his current season of breakthrough! Now focused on his first official release with God Over Money, Tarver hopes to do a collab with the Midwest Choppa Tech N9ne and take CHH to the forefront of the music industry. We can't wait to see what's next for the Ohio native.

Well, I have some good news for you!! When we make Christ the center of our fitness journeys, we don't have to rely only on our motivation, strength, discipline and energy but on HIS! In this episode I answer a question that I received just this past week on how exactly someone makes Christ the center of their fitness journey... I also wanted to share some of my FAVE Christan rap and hip hop for you to start listening to in your workouts that may help those Holy Spirit vibes flow through you in that time! Lecrae, 1kPhew, Derek Minor, Canon, Trip Lee, Rare of Breed are all just a few but so so good!
