There are real Christians on both sides of this issue, all of whom feel convinced of their position. If humans are unwilling to embrace this fact, there is no hope for unity.  Christians have clear instructions [John 13:35] not to be known by positions, but rather the love shared for one another and all humanity.     Each woman on this episode would vote the same way at the ballot; and yet see this issue very differently.   Enjoy these conversations?  Check out the digital community version of Pastor With No Answers Podcast, only patrons have access to.  Read about it HERE.  Watch a quick video HERE.   Join HERE.   These perks may change your life.TODAYS HOSTSLiz Miller / Instagram / MemoirsAmy Alderman / FacebookEllen Mauro / InstagramPricilla Svendsen / InstagramANNOUNCEMENTS / LINKS4 Week Experience Podcast Socials // PWNA Discussion Facebook Group / YouTubeThanks //  Derek Minor for theme song and other music / Joel Hamilton, for other music.e-mail the PWNA team here. Support the show

Many systematic theologians talk about God like they got God pegged while Isaiah says "God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours."While many claim things along the lines of "God won't bless your finances if you don't tithe before taxes," I'm still  trying to process what it means for God to love me.  What does that mean for all of us?This is an episode about God.  If you're pursuing theology for a snapshot of God, give up the pursuit because God is too big for that.   What we are left with:If God is all-loving, God can't be all-powerful because there is evil in the world.If God is all-powerful, God must not care or love creation because there is evil in the world.Many Christians still claim God to be both, all-loving and all-powerful  (I'm one of them -- Joey).But while others, like Thomas Oord, actually try to make sense of this dichotomy, coming up with other possible explanations, he's pushed to the side as a heretic.   Thomas Oord's new book Pluriform Love, unpacks a "Thomas Oord version" of open theology, which is a belief that supposes God not to be all-powerful.If this doctrine is true, how do we know we are "eternally safe" in heaven (where ever that is)?How do we reconcile God's wrath and eternal love with his eternal grace, love and redemption.  So what the hell is going on out there and how does all this work?  Does God have emotions?  Why did God create us in the first place?We can only speculate.

Ellen would rather be alone than to have an affair.  Are pedophiles simply stuck with their attraction to kids?  Is it true love when a victim loves his aggressor? If it's "true love," is that a good thing?  Matt has a trauma-filled childhood that we haven't been filled in on yet, Ellen wants more black friends in her life, and Joey makes a blunder that he felt sick about.

Worship leader in an evangelical church, cousin of Brian Welch (Korn), struggler of bipolar disorder, and author, Scott W. Box, joins the show to discuss mental illness, grace and Heroic Disgrace, his recent book release in which he tells his story and unpacks the gospel concept of "winning by losing." We also discuss how God can make healthy what He chooses not to heal, and how Scott's struggles with mental illness compelled him to seek Jesus deeper.  Isn't that a good thing?Joey also reflects on his madness of reverting back to OCD spiritual rituals back in his mental health crisis in 2019 and how leaning on others' faith is necessary when personal faith has run dry.  Can your brain ever be too unhealthy to process God in a positive light?  Joey has experienced times when thoughts of God were a detriment.   Two pastors reflect on their journeys through mental health crises and having personal experience, describe their experiences with being suicidal and how selfishness wasn't part of the equation.  Ben Archer, Patron of the show (which means he's in the Bear W/ Community), joins Joey to talk deconstruction and reflect on BadChristian.  And up top, a couple of my black friends reflect a bit on how Will Smith's actions was a poor representation of African-Americans.  Scott W.

Originally aired 7/8/2021.  For additional context, listen to the whole episode as it was originally aired RIGHT HERE.As originally posted.While some people call ProGrace.org “pro-life lite,” others label it as teetering on pro-choice.  Angie Weszely and her organization (Pro-Grace) takes heat from both sides, and as you'll hear in this episode, she doesn't believe Jesus would own either label. He always starts with grace, and this seems to be something unfortunately lacking in many hearts of those in the pro-life camp.  Co-host Ellen Mauro, who considers herself a “pro-life liberal” and one who is pro-life but votes pro-choice, joins us to talk about perhaps the most polarizing and potentially heated issues of the century.  ProGrace.org is a movement that offers training and other resources founded on a belief for God to give us a creative solution based on His wisdom and provision - and His love for BOTH the woman and the child.Angie Weszely / Twitter / SiteJoey Svendsen / Instagram / Twitter / FacebookEllen Mauro / InstagramJoin Bear W/ Community (a community for PWNA patrons)Read About / Join / VideoWelcome PacketSocials / Connect:PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPodcast WebsiteYouTubeE-mail us  for correspondence.ThanksTheme song and all music, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.Support the show

Originally aired 7/13/2021.  For additional context, listen to the whole episode as it was originally aired RIGHT HERE.As originally posted.Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa Florer-Bixler, joins to talk about what she calls “reproductive justice.”  Is a living embryo an actual living person?  Is it mere tissue waste?  “No” and “no,” according to Melissa.  We discuss these matters and reflect on a truth that many evangelical Christians do not want to face:  their pro-life stances are actually conditional and far from consistent.  Just ask a beautiful (and desperate) couple who went the in vitro fertilization route, were successful, but have additional frozen embryos that will never be used.  What does a consistent pro-life stance look like and what sorts of hypocrisies are currently rampant in those who claim pro-life?  Within discussions along these lines, is there an important distinction between human life and personhood?  Melissa / Site / Twitter Joey Svendsen / Instagram / Twitter / FacebookEllen Mauro / InstagramJoin Bear W/ Community (a community for PWNA patrons)Read About / Join / VideoWelcome PacketSocials / Connect:PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPodcast WebsiteYouTubeE-mail us  for correspondence.ThanksTheme song and all music, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.Support the show

The Bear W/ Community holds "Big Gatherings" each month; some of them like this conversation, are open to the public.    What you are hearing on this episode is one of those meetings and the beginning of regular gatherings to discuss the potential of unity amongst affirming and un-affirming Christians.  With Liz Miller (Christian woman married to a woman) and Hunter Gregory (Christian man engaged to a man) as some of the main voices in this conversation, we all discuss whether it's possible to truly love a queer person without affirming his or her sexuality.  Lots of grace in this one, thrown in all directions.  If you have engaged evangelicalism, you keenly understand how people land on both sides of this one.  Matt Oxley, one of the co-hosts (queer himself, former evangelical) has empathy for those who do not affirm him.   He sees them as "victims" of a smear campaign that's been going on for the last hundred years.   How about this one?  Is it good or bad, that not one un-affirming person Joey approached to engage in this discussion, was willing to?  Hunter Gregory says "that's a bunch of malarky and hogwash."

Any difference in shooting a barking dog verses killing a gnat for buzzing in your ear? Pastor With No Answers Podcast partners with Tony Jones of The Reverend Hunter Podcast and Neil Dudley of Pederson Natural Farms, The Cowboy Perspective Podcast, and The Pederson Farms Podcast for an episode that will air on all three shows!Lots of "pet talk," (can you leave a dog in the kennel all day?  can you let your cat die instead of paying the vet $1000 to save her?) lots of animal and human life talk.  Tony loves hunting and Neil's farm kills 1500 pigs every week, yet both have yet to be desensitized by the loss of life for the little piggies turned bacon on Neil's farm, or for Bambi's mom that Tony's bullet met right before she fell to her death.  What's the "eye lash rule" of killing animals?  Has Walmart contributed to a societal flippancy towards buying and eating meat?   What does "humane treatment" of animals mean anyway, and why isn't Tony a fan of that terminology?  Is this something Christians should talk more about, consider more deeply?   As a Christian, what are some of Neil's convictions about the treatment of animals when running a farm?  Does he look after the animals' best interest in the process of "harvesting" them?  Would it be unchristian not to?Can there even be any moral implications for going around killing plants and animals, if God doesn't exist?

Why can't Christians enjoy a "God's Kingdom first" approach to life?  Could our very democracy crumble,  due merely to people's unwillingness to listen and learn about other peoples's views, convictions and beliefs?Rev. Brandan Robertson is family of this show, author, activist and public theologian.  Discussing his newest book, Filled to Be Emptied: The Path to Liberation for Privileged People, Brandan once again pulls no punches in his true desire to radically love all, taking Jesus seriously no matter what the cost.  Although Rev. Brandan considers himself on the "left" (or in the "progressive camp") and speaks often against the hypocrisy of much of the evangelical right, he feels his leftest "team" gains nothing--and is even  in err--when demonizing Trump voters.  Brandan challenges us all to "see the face of God" in everyone.  Why do we worship ideology?  Can we really call ourselves followers of Christ if we do not empty ourselves and give up privileges like he did (Philippians 2)?  This passage, Brandan supposes, addresses the sacrificial responsibilities a privileged follower of Christ is called to have.  Hard point to argue against.   Read the verse for yourself.   Is anger good, while bitterness is not?  Why are some evangelicals leaving evangelicalism while others stay, in support of a leader who goes against many of the very morals  evangelicals have historically never budged on?

Co-hosts Joey Svendsen and Matt Oxley hang with regular contributor Jack Hoey (the father) to discuss whether capitalism or communism is ideal in regards to morals, greed, and a more "Jesus Way" of running things.  Everyone on the show agrees on capitalism's shortcomings (and even evil of), but the disagreement at hand, is whether communism is any better.   There are admirable motivations for both "sides" to promote their version of "ideal government," the various perspectives here represent a different weighting system of different values. Did Jesus speak against capitalism?  Does communism lend itself to more evil, given the more control allotted to less people, and the question remains: has it ever worked in the past?  History has spoken clearly though, no manmade system can fix human greed, undo the propensity to take advantage of others,  nor stop the violence motivated often for financial gain.  Co-HostsMatt Oxley / Web  / TwitterJoey Svendsen / Instagram / Twitter / FacebookBear W/ Community Read About / Join / Raffle / Welcome PacketBear W// Community VideoSocials / Connect  Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Join the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupWe are on YouTube and Tik Tok.PWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.ThanksTheme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.

Katie Hays is an author, church planter, pastor, educated at MIT, Yale and Princeton: and she taught us a new word: "Fundagelical."  That's what her and I (Joey) were, before going through the scary process of faith change.  With her new book ("God Gets Everything God Wants") as the context, we discuss a variety of topics:-How we were once both convinced of our narrow view of faith being the only right one.-Accepting the bible has multiple "takes" on a particular subject and inerrancy falls a part.-How evangelicals' "gospel news" may be incomplete- Blame the "capital C church" needs to accept-The "slippery slope" of deconstruction that led to our freedom-The humility required for deconstruction.-Rarely does  one set out to deconstruct her faith. -What the church has learned from the LGBTQ community -The relentless faith and devoutness of a "deconstructed Christian."-The pain of loved ones' misunderstandings of your deconstruction  - When Joey's mom was with child (with Joey), prophesies were made about Joey by a spirit-filled prayer group of Catholic women  On a "fun scale" of 1-10, this conversation was a 10 for me.   -- Joey Kate Hays  Website / Book / Twitter / ChurchSupport the Show / Bear W/ Community The Raffle Venmo  - each dollar you send  counts as one raffle ticketJoin the Bear W/ Community for a month, each dollar for your tier counts as one raffle ticket.Bear W// Community VideoReceive "Welcome Packet" via REMIND app (you sign up.

Continuing a conversation that was started on this podcast 2 years ago, part six of a series that has taken a behind the scenes look at Joey's journey through a mental health crisis in 2019.  Joining today are four of Joey's closest friends, Tim McAdams, Sarah Eller.And Amy Alderman, Robbie Madison, both also co-hosts of the show.  The three reflect on his transparency leading up to this crisis and the effects it had on their processing of the situation at hand, back in 2019.  They discuss whether they dealt with fear around the potential of Joey losing his life; and how they processed knowing that the friend of theirs, who was battling for his life, was also pastor of the church that all four  considered their family.  A true story of friendship, the power of family and the need for connection.  Sarah Eller, Tim McAdams, Amy Alderman and Robbie Madison, special thanks for your love, grace and commitment to your boy. Bear W/ Community – investigate and/or joinWelcome Packet - we'd love to send you!Click here to download our community calendar.to enter the "The Raffle"Other past episodes in this series:My Depressive Episode: Why Talk About Our HellMy Depressive Episode 2: “To See a Son Suffer”My Depressive Episode 3 (w/ Chip Judd): Anxiety and How it All BeganMy Depressive Episode 4: Our Pastors Walked With Us & the Mental InstitutionMy Depressive Episode 5: The BadChristian Divorce Connect in other ways: Sign up for our mailing list to keep up with everything.

Co-hosts Robbie Madison and Matt Oxley, join host Joey Svendsen with the original purpose of continuing a conversation from episode 340, “Courage Not to Cancel the Racist,"  asking the question, "what about the statues of racists?"We accomplished this while at the same time, Joey believes the Holy Spirit moved in real time, opening his eyes to a facet of his white privilege that was sobering to see. Robbie was in an English town where actors still practice "black face" and Joey shares how he doesn't want to have the label of "woke," nor does he want to be seen as "not woke."Thankful for my listeners who let me learn in front of them; also happy to be able to release content like today for other people who find interesting, things like the amount of money one would have to be paid in order to get a "genitalia tattoo" on his/her arm.  -- JoeyMatt Oxley / Web  / TwitterRobbie Madison / Web / Instagram / MusiEllen Mauro / InstagramJoin usas a Patron.Connect in other ways:Sign up for our mailing list to keep up with everything.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupWe are on YouTube. PWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Production and Editing:  Jared SvendsenTheme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends We use Riverside Podcast Platform for recording and it kicks Zoom's ass (no offense, zoom).  Try it by clicking the link. Support the show

[At top of episode, Ellen, Ryan and Joey discuss Ryan's ignoring of God, why it's a bit morbid when a Christian asks "was he/she a believer" after some one dies, and how the church is trying to convince Ellen's friend to stay with her cheating husband because he "reads the word" and "it was only a blowjob."]For our main talk, biographical author, George Azar, lived it and wrote a book for us to peer into his journey from leading vocational ministry as a pastor (and as a gay man) to “eventually having enough" and leaving Christianity all together.  He shares his story here.  Joey and George discuss the senselessness of appealing to “traditional theology” as a standard not to evolve past for the reason of "God ever changes."  This ideology seems to assume that God hasn't anything further to say about the teachings in the bible and no more revelatory direction for humanity.  Pretty boring God, if you ask me.  Joey shares how hard it was to maintain his un-affirming views of homosexuality when close friends of his shed light on her/his relationship with the Holy Spirit, the journey of diligent searching for the truth of God's view on sexuality, and the current peace they have found in pursuing gay companionship.  George and Jack reflect on the prospect of him being an adult gay man in the very much less accepting world we lived in, just 20 years ago.  Joey takes the opportunity to get a “Billy Graham Rule” critique from a gay man, the two discuss the dynamics of gay Christians fellowshipping with non-affirming ones, and Joey asks if the word “homosexual” is even appropriate terminology anymore.  George Azar and My Gay Church Days / Website / Amazon / InstagramHost Ellen Mauro / InstagramJoin us as a Patron.Sign up for our mailing list to keep up with everything.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupWe are on YouTube. PWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends Production and Editing:  Jared SvendsenWe use Riverside Podcast Platform for recording and it kicks Zoom's ass (no offense, zoom).  Try it by clicking the link. Support the show

Dr. Latimore, author of “Unshakable Faith of Famous and Little Known African Americans from Colonial Times to the Present"  joins co-hosts Robbie Madison and Joey Svendsen to discuss the important outlooks and insights his book delivers on. In our diverse communities, churches, organizations and political spaces, [Black] history offers a window into the meaning of America  and the opportunity to reflect and marvel at, the strength of a people who refused to be destroyed and who fought and loved their way into our nation's story.  In this conversation, an unexpected theme is processed in real time and confirmed by Robbie and Dr. Latimore.  As African American men who value their blackness and maintain passion for  equality and social justice for all people,  the concept of blindly "cancelling a racist" for them seems lazy, rudimentary, and contrary to the Spirit of love represented by Jesus' words "Father, forgive,  for they know not.."  This new "cancelling trend" in our culture basically eliminates the chances of some thing Jesus seemed pretty adamant about all of us having: new beginnings and second chances, birthed by Grace.  The book also highlights a deeper, even heart-wrenching path of grace that many have painfully walked through.    Sometimes the unfairness of life (as it was for many of the saints discussed in his book) makes it is hard to keep going with soundness of mind, hope, and contentment in our hearts.  Dr. Latimore shares the stories of African Americans who found all three, even in the midst of grave injustices that personally destroyed the hopes of having what many of the more privileged were able to take for granted as "simple rights" and receiving "our due."  May our hearts be changed forever by the stories of our fellowmen and women who persevered while truly walking in the footsteps of Jesus.   A lesson for all mankind, especially in 2022.  Carey Latimore / Info / Facebook / Book Robbie Madison / Web / Instagram / Music Join us as a Patron.

Matt Johnson used to live in Mark Driscoll's basement as “one of the interns” (inside joke you'll find out later) and eventually became an integral part of Mars Hill Church's operations and ministries, as a pastor. On this episode, Matt and Joey reflect on Christianity Today's The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast, including guesswork on Driscoll's heart, ("that only God can judge") mental state and marriage.  Reflecting on the story of Mars Hill, Matt is left with a faith unshaken but a complete distrust of the competitive-driven, consumer-minded, charismatically-led model of church-planting and that model of church in general.    We discuss here the power of charisma, “spiritual narcissism,” and whether things are different at  Driscoll's new church in Phoenix.  There's also some “Driscoll Myths” debunked, including Mark's “they're out to get me” narrative of the "divorce."   We also ask Matt if he was personally intimidated by Mark and whether he currently has empathy for him.  At the beginning of the episode, Ellen shares with Joey and Ryan Amick, her problem with alcohol.17 Years At Mars Hill on Mockingbird.Getting Jesus Wrong by Matt Johnson Getting Jesus Wrong (Matt Johnson) Episode 202  Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupWe are on YouTube. PWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends, and Ray Deezy. Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

Listen in on this episode of Fresh Focus, where VA Dietitian, Dr. Joel Hamilton talks all about how to spice up your diet with using an ingredient that you already have on hand, a potato! Why potatoes? Potatoes are inexpensive and generally accessible. Learning several cooking tips using something simple as a potato can actually help build our confidence in the kitchen, and motivate us into trying our hand at all different kinds of recipes and unique items. They are also fairly neutral in taste and can allow you to practice multiple cooking techniques and seasoning combinations.     Be sure to visit the Healthy Teaching Kitchen YouTube Channel to watch video recipes.

What if in the "Genesis 1 beginning," things had already began?  What if the infamous, "In the Beginning" beginning, happens to be about  one small area, guarded by an angel (Garden of Eden).  S. Joshua Swamidass, MD, PhD,  author of The Genealogical Adam and Eve: The Surprising Science of Universal Ancestry, challenges widely-held presuppositions held about the Genesis creation story and has put his tenure on the line for being forthright with the role that his faith plays in how he sees the world.  In this episode he talks how a plain reading of Genesis  can still be supported by science.  Oh yeah, and he believes in evolution.  But according to Dr. Swamidass, humans still lack amazement for the good stuff.  How are we not more fascinated by existence in general?  Or the existence of consciousness?  He demonstrates well the ability to maintain what most of his atheist colleagues would call "good science" while still being a self-proclaimed, "Christian first, scientist second" person.  And while he's here, we also manage to talk conspiracies, AI, Mars exploration and how it's hard to get ethics out of science, especially in regards to abortion.  At top of episode, Jack Hoey and Ellen Mauro defend some very cynical comments they made on a previous episode about speaking in tongues.  Chip Judd challenges their views on a means of prayer he practices every day and claims to be why he is the man he is today.  Joshua Swamidass, MD, PhD // Twitter  Ellen Mauro Instagram Chip Judd Instagram // WebsiteJack Hoey Instagram //  TwitterJoey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterJoin us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Join the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by  Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends. Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

[Episode is Rated R and contains offensive language, including slang for female body parts.  Last thing we desire is for folks to be uncomfortable, triggered or offended.  Please proceed with caution]Co-hosts Ryan Amick and Ellen Mauro discuss some new territory on a common theme we have on this show: PC Culture. Why is Ryan (a white, straight male) sad about not being able to say certain words?  Ellen expresses skepticism for Ryan and Joey's fear of being cancelled and wonders what that would even look like for two guys who aren't really famous.  Along the way, Joey thinks he found a “female counterpart” for the word “dick,” and don't worry, it's not the “p-word.”  Could humans be more forgiving with people's words?   Is it a thing of the past to have public, "non-cancelling" spaces for those who are genuinely ignorant but open to learning?   Or what about those who truly make a mistake but have sincere regret?  We discuss all this and end on the sad note of how Bill Cosby broke our damn hearts.

We've heard the stories, we've seen their signs, our jaws have dropped, our stomachs have turned. Why do they do what they do? How do they reconcile their actions with the teachings of Jesus? How do they claim to practice love? Back in August of 2020, Jack Hoey III and Joey talked to the leader of Westboro Baptist, Tim Phelps.   You can listen to that episode here (part 1).  This time around, we challenge some different practices of Westboro, including their clear “double-standard” use of scripture.  Jack  amongst other things, suggests that the folks at Westboro would greatly benefit from  approaching the bible with more humility.   Tim amongst other things, points at what he'd call clear doctrinal instructions in the bible that guide the day to day of his organization.  Joey is accompanied this time by Jack Hoey (the father) who is closer in age to Tim and quite likely as studied in scripture.  Unfortunately a bit of the same result, as far as finding substantial common ground but that wasn't a surprise.  This time though, Joey did manage to ask Tim if he liked him and Jack.Join us as a Patron!

[Evangelicals, on this episode, we aren't laughing at you.  The guest is too nice to do this and I'd be too much a hypocrite]We released Eastern Orthodox Part 1 with former "rock stars (Luxury) gone Orthodox Priests" because I had no idea what the heck it meant to be orthodox and had to know.  Little did I know, the episode would influence my brother (former co-host and current producer of this show) to fully convert to the best paradigm of faith he's ever worshipped in, perfectly suited to how he's wired up.  He's all in, I'm happy for him.   -- Joey But there's more to the story.  The Orthodox church is THE REAL church?  My brother claims there's one true church and the implications would say that most of us aren't in it.  Father Josiah Trenham Ph.d, comes on to discuss this very question.  He also explains the importance of church buildings, “the invisible church doctrine” of evangelicals, how the functionality evangelicals ascribe to the “sinner's prayer” is heresy, how Pentecostals aren't Pentecostal enough and how prayer is the goal of life.  The question is posed here also, “If the true church is infallible, why did most of its adherents take part in the American slavery?”At top of episode, me and some friends talk moral dilemmas and pacifism. FATHER JOSIAH TRENHAM is a native Southern Californian. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1993, and was awarded the Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Durham, England, in 2004. He has served as pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church in Riverside, Ca. since 1998.  Father Josiah was married in 1988, and has ten children.Robbie MadisonWeb / Instagram / Music Hayne is on Classmates.com.  Join us as a Patron!

[Not a "christian" or "non-christian" conversation,"  nor a conversation revolving around my personal sexual ethics. Okay, now with that out of way -- Joey}God gives graciously.  Can this be seen any clearer in the sophisticated way humans are able to experience pleasure within one's very anatomy?   And just like most other things, humans have managed to screw (no pun intended) this up also.   Erica Smith, sex educator of 20 years, speaker, writer, consultant (including online one-on-one's) and creator of Purity Culture Drop Out comes on to talk all things sex, some advice and insight for all.  This episode covers a variety of topics surrounding human sexuality, including the benefits of regular masturbation for men and women; and the conundrum between valuing feminine freedom and power, while hating their objectification.  Is it a bummer to be asexual?  Would it be helpful for people to expand the definition of what sex is?  Are some people wired incompatible with monogamy?  Erica points to the Puritanical values that have been baked into the very sexual fabric of  America, impacting those in and well outside of church/religious culture?  At top of episode, Robbie Maddison, Hayne Griffith and Joey Svendsen talk vaccines as Joey shares the very close call his mother had a few weeks ago with that there COVID-19. Erica Smith, M.Ed Instagram / Site / Purity Culture Drop Out Program"must read" book Eric referred to called Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex LifeRobbie Madison Web / Instagram / MusicHayne is on Classmates.com.  Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends, and Ray Deezy. Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

Professor at Duke, best-selling author, podcast host of Everything Happens Podcast, is a self-identified “incurable optimist" who is very candid in her dealings with personal life-altering pain and how God fits into (or does not fit into) the equation.  As she shares her story, listeners can acquire new lenses for how they see and process pain, suffering and God.  For example, what if sufferers can benefit from relinquishing the desire to find “a deeper reason” for their suffering?  The discussion also gets into some theology, especially concerning the inconceivable perceptions of God that most Christians share when it comes to salvation, mercy and love.  At top of episode, Robbie Madison, Hayne Griffen, and Joey talk Cobra Kai's beautiful inappropriateness, Robbie gets mushy talking about Joey as a pastor, and there's a little crying by all as the hosts discuss some experiences with grief, the stupid things that overly spiritual people say to those who suffer, and why grace can still be given.   And why does God seem to never heal people?  Does praying ever work?  (Special note:  If you are easily offended by “race joking,,”  including Joey's offensive word for white people, avoid this portion.  Robbie is one of Joey's best friends, happens to be a black; and best friends cut up and clown.)Kate BowlerWebsite / Instagram  / PodcastKate's books:No Cure For Being HumanGood Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of ImperfectionEverything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I LovedRobbie Madison / Web / Instagram / MusicHayne's phone number: 843–795-7161 (don't call this number, dummy)Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends, and Ray Deezy. ProduSupport the show

At top of the episode, Joey's pastor Josh Surratt joins to talk about big church buildings, whether he's comfortable with Joey's different approaches to Christian faith, if he'd like to be a celebrity pastor and if there's anything he dislikes about the church he leads.   Within white evangelical church cultures, many black people have  found their voices and convictions unvalued.  It's a very ugly truth but many white, evangelical churches embrace black membership and even love “the look” of having black leadership.  But once black leaders use their God-given leadership and insight to influence – or at the very least – to share their hearts with white people, it's viewed as "stepping out of line," even sinful.  Dante Stewart, former defensive back of God's favorite college football team, Clemson Tigers, wrote a book called “Shoutin' in the Fire: An American Epistle;  in which he shares his reasons for permanently leaving white evangelicalism, why it's not his job to help white people change, and ways to help us all reimagine spiritual virtues like rage, resilience, and remembrance, exploring how these might function as a work of love against an unjust, unloving world.  How's that for a run-on sentence!  Dante Stewart / Twitter / Instagram / Website / Book on Amazon Pastor Josh Surratt / Twitter / Instagram Books mentioned in this episode:  More Beautiful and Terrible History by Jeanne TheoharisThe Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B.

Author and Theologian, Sharon Putt (formerly Sharon Baker), Chip Judd and host, Joey Svendsen all have similar spiritual upbringings but Sharon and Joey believe in a Christ-centered universal salvation.  It's one thing to reject this belief, another thing for a Christian to say the bible doesn't support it.  One's view of scripture  may "clearly say anything" he think it says, but what is his view about the (seemingly clear) passages that discus humanity and all of earth being redeemed.  We discuss God and love, in context of the afterlife; and whether there had to be an adversary  for us to be able to truly love and chose God.  Joey pushes back on the very common and sensible objection of  “you're defining God and love by your own standards.”  Both Sharon and Chip are very biblically studied and Chip has never considered Jesus saving everyone.   Sharon Putt (formerly Baker) / Info / Razing Hell bookChip Judd / Website / InstagramJoin us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton.Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared Svendsen Subscribe here to keep up with all things "Pastor With No Answers" as well as a new digital family we'd love to have you a part of.  You don't have to be alone in your spiritual questions  and you don't have to play by society's "new standard" of taking sides and being polarized.  Join us!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/pwnapod)R2o1KCj57KYk1OBSNsmZ      Support the show

Host Joey Svendsen was on the BlackSheep Podcast to talk about himself for an hour.  Hosts of BlackSheep, Mason and Cullen, ask Joey what he believes and what music he's listening to and they were wonderful in allowing us to release this on our channel as well.  Joey goes into the history of Pastor With No Answers and how it represents a biographical synopsis of all the ways he's changed in his faith.  And God forbid any one admit he is a Christian mainly due to spiritual experiences/encounters.  Joey is a true music snob (so he's told) and shares his 10 favorite Christmas songs, what five albums influenced his musical tastes, why Emery stood out to him during pop-screamo's heyday, and how Underoath's freshman release album was the only UO material he listened to.  Make sure you stick around for the outtakes of the Mars Hill spoof.  The BlackSheep PodcastMars Hill Sketch contributors: Justina Sparling, Jason Farr, Grayson LIttle, Jed Payne, Hayne Griffen.  Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.

With eight hundred staff members, 1000 students, Bethel Church / Music (based out of Redding California) is a household name in the evangelical church world.  Jenn just wrote a book, “All Things Lovely: Inspiring Health and Wholeness in Your Home, Heart, and Community.” In the context of this book, we talk supernatural healings, antidepressants, importance of church community, and holistic health.  Joey also asks her questions about eternal punishment, “grave soaking,” and the celebrity culture that is so common in today's church world.  At top of episode, Matt Oxley and Ellen Mauro discuss a major problem in today's youth and Ellen challenges Joey's negative use of the word "woke."  If being "woke" is awakening to social injustices, that's never a bad thing.  Right? Jenn Johnson / Instagram / Website / Bethel Church Podcast Hosts:  Ellen Mauro Instagram / Matt Oxley Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends, and Ray Deezy. Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

From the ages of six to 26, Ashley Broderick has persevered through chronic panic disorder without the guidance of any healthcare professional or the assistance of antidepressants.  Now the mother of two (one high schooler) with more knowledge and coping skills,  and now also incorporating the help of the mental health profession, she has acquired great strength and made great strides of health.  Without an act of God, however, this will always be a part of her battle.  We'll call it “Ashley's Thorn” (cool band name, you're welcome). Panic attacks are brutal, but listeners may not know the extent of how intense they can be, how long the effects can be intrusive, and how violent the anxiety can become.  During the pandemic, Ashley witnessed the many anxiety flare ups in others, due to all the employment/economy and health uncertainties; and realized they were all  experiencing [in 2020] what her day to day feels like all the time.  From thinking her baby is being kidnapped in the room next door to turning the car around so she can help a child she accidentally hit (that she knows she didn't accidentally hit), Ashley also shares the culprit of childhood trauma that is a major contributing factor to why she struggles like this.  She is an example of one who seeks out help from the mental health profession, but also can't make it through all of this without faith in her Maker.   Pastor WIth No Answers (and Friends) Podcast is supported by Betterhelp!  Go get some betterhelp!Special thanks to Ashley Broderick for sharing your story and offering solidarity to those who suffer with mental illness.  -- PWNA Team My Story of Mental Health Crisis (Part 1 of 5)Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Tip any amount $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.Ellen Mauro InstagramJoey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunityJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.  Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

James Wellman with us today to talk about his newest book, High on God: How Mega Churches Have Won the Heart of America.  Most would have Wellman in the "progressive Christian" camp, he began his research assuming his cynicism about Mega Churches would be vindicated and that he'd find that these things should go away for good.  Instead, he discovered that Mega Churches generally provide a healthy sense of belonging to its members and typically contribute a lot of good into their surrounding communities.  Do these churches help meet emotional needs?  Are evangelicals a more generous bunch than their progressive counterparts?  Here's a very practical and simple explanation for keeping Mega Churches around.  At the top of the episode, Matt Oxley, Ellen Mauro and Joey Svendsen discuss their former fundamentalism, why Matt's not a Christian anymore and why a "universalistic salvation" evangelistic message would be the most effective gospel message, even if it wasn't true.   Pastor WIth No Answers Podcast is supported by Betterhelp!Go get some betterhelp!

New York Times best-selling author, Kristin Kobes Du Mez wrote Jesus and John Wayne which is   "a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism and reveals how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism―or in the words of one modern chaplain, with a 'spiritual badass.'”  She claims the key to understanding this transformation is recognizing the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Kristin Kobes Du Mez is a professor of history at Calvin University and the author of A New Gospel for Women. She has written for the Washington Post, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and Religion & Politics, among other publications.  Recently she's been a major contributing voice on Christianity Today's The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast.  Here we talk about the historical timeline of how culture has viewed gender, how these views have changed through the years, and how the sort of American nationalism we currently see is fairly a new thing (1970s).  We talk the role John Eldredge's “Wild at Heart” book played into this mess, the great harm of "the Billy Graham Rule" and how institutionally, the church really isn't tending towards healthier postures with gender.     Pastor WIth No Answers Podcast is supported by Betterhelp!

We all know people can survive to the next day, without having sex of any kind.  But in a romantic relationship, is sex an integral part of getting close?  What if sex is physically impossible?  The good stuff people are looking for in "sexual intimacy,"  can it also be found in non-sexual acts that are exclusive to our partner?  Ellen doesn't really care about having sex.  Joey likes sex but he is getting old, so he likes it less.  Hayne likes sex, but his lovely wife is going through chemo treatments, so it's been a bit bare.  Hayne passes along some wisdom from his grandma and rocks Joey and Ellen's world.  In the words of Ellen Mauro, “this was the most epic sex conversation she's ever had.” Hopefully it's helpful to others too.  Thanks, Hayne!Join us as a Patron!Join our mailing list to keep up with everything.Send $ to Venmo for a PWNA Sticker.

All hell is breaking loose now  in "Evangelical-Land" as more women speak out authoritatively and aren't taking huge strides to be nice about it.   Does Jesus call us to more than niceness? Author, Pastor and full of that Ph to the D, Sharon Hodde Miller has navigated the treacherous waters of being a woman and a pastor, while living in the south.   We discuss  her book "Nice: Why We Love to be Liked and How God Calls us to More," as she lays out how christian women, especially leaders and those with influence, have been rewarded and lauded over the years for their "niceness."  It's even been the most lucrative posture for a woman to take in the Christian market of speaking gigs and book sales. Sharon has a knack for being patient and gracious to those with different backgrounds with varying theological views; and highlights the importance of unity, despite differing opinions on important theological matters.  In other words, she fits right in with the PWNA fam.  "Jesus didn't broad brush people and we shouldn't either. "  -- SharonWhy did Jesus choose 12 dudes and not one woman?  Why are the badass women in the bible to this day not given the badass credentials that are due to them?  All this and more, good friends.

Author (“Women Rising”) and Podcaster, (Faith and Feminism Podcast) Meghan Tschanz, was fully invested in ministry work when she found herself no longer able to go with the “evangelical flow" of how women were treated and how their role in this world was characterized "biblically."  And once she saw the connection between traditional church views on female roles and the violence and trafficking of women in general, it couldn't be unseen; now she feels compelled once and for all, to live a life of speaking out, putting her convictions over “keeping the peace” with evangelicalism.  During this conversation, Meghan talks about the damage women have sustained over the years by traditional patriarchal translations of scripture. Through many current views of scripture, women are pressured to take responsibility for the sexual attention (even unwanted advances) their bodies attract instead of teaching men to have self-control.  Men are taught that “power over women” is good and admirable.  It shows she respects you.  Hell, the church even taught Joey to objectify woman.  It was probably accidental, but all the same. God's beautiful word in the hands of mankind can be a dangerous thing, folks.  Forced genital mutilation is an epidemic and needs to be stopped.  How conservative families struggle through and respond to a member entertaining more progressive viewpoints.   How men  can use the bible to keep power.  Meghan explains why despite the glaring patriarchal context of scripture, the point of scripture has always been to liberate people.  All people.  All genders.Stay tuned, in two days, we'll have Sharon Hodde Miller.   Joey/PWNA Instagram and TwitterCurrent DonorSee giving opportunitySupport Us:Join us as a patron!or leave a Venmo tipJoin the PWNA Discussion Facebook GroupPWNAcontact@gmail.com  for correspondence.Theme song, courtesy of Derek MinorOther music originally composed by Joel Hamilton and Joel Hamilton + friends.Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

The story of my depressive disorder in 2019 is profoundly incomplete without including a narrative of my departure from the BadChristian Podcast and community.  On this episode, I include insight from friends and family, recounting a story of great loss as well as my journey from brokenness to health.  Or let's just say healthIER.  – Joey BadChristian Podcast and community was started in 2013 by Matt Carter, Toby Morrell (of the band Emery) and friend, Joey Svendsen (pastor of a church in South Carolina).  Brutally honest and often irreverent Christian podcasts like this are now a dime a dozen but at the time, “BC POD” occupied a unique space, and as a result of its quick rise in popularity, proved to be a vibe that many Christians had an appetite for.  The three aforementioned hosts were not only co-workers but also good friends.  Unfortunately, all humans are flawed and sometimes, even when motivated by the best intentions, relationships get broken to an extent in which they aren't salvageable.  Joey shares his take on the “break up story” with his friends and co-hosts; the first (and hopefully only) situation of this kind he's ever had to walk through.   Special thanks to contributors (in order of appearance):Ryan Amick, Sean A. Scapellato, Jared Svendsen, Karen “PK” Simmons, Jack Hoey, Krystal Halvorson, and special outtake with Ryan Amick.Other Episodes of interest:Repenting from BadChristianMy Depressive Episode: Why Talk About Our HellMy Depressive Episode 2: “To See a Son Suffer”My Depressive Episode 3 (w/ Chip Judd): Anxiety and How it All BeganMy Depressive Episode 4: Our Pastors Walked With Us & the Mental Institution Joey/PWNA: https://www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenhttps://twitter.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee giving opportunity: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsBe a patron! https://www.patreon.com/pwnapodor leave a Venmo tip right @  https://venmo.com/joey-svendsenJoin the discussion:https://www.facebook.com/groups/PWNAtalkE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music on this episode courtesy of:Joel Hamilton + friendshttps://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.com/http://embassyfreqs.com/Jejune, courtesy of Joe Guevara https://open.spotify.com/artist/0dH7IS6J0rfzfMCyxG8b4VDerek Minor  http://www.derekminor.comExecutive producer:  Jared Svendsen Support the show

Jason Petty (known as Propaganda) joins Joey and his friend Robbie Madison who are fresh off of reading Prop's new book, "Terraforming.”  With this book as the backdrop, the three discuss why people do evil and ponder if humans can actually be evil.  Prop describes how culture is made and how we, the Earthlings, can turn the tide and go in a better direction.  He maintains an intriguing vibe of optimism (that Joey is jealous of) with his belief in the possibility of making a better world.  The three also discuss how the "Gen Z kids" are bringing in a new wave of love and acceptance, and they reflect on September 11th 2001. Propaganda:https://www.prophiphop.com/https://twitter.com/prophiphopRobbie Madison:https://www.instagram.com/robbiemadisonmusic/http://robbiemadison.com/category/music/Joey/PWNA Instagram:  https://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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music on this episode 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

Sometimes we need to take a deep breath and laugh at how silly we all can be.  From church conferences to pastors' smoking hot wives, from “prom songs for Jesus” worship songs and ridiculous pastor jokes to every church wanting a black worship leader, comedian Shama4realz and Joey poke fun of, laugh at and lament about church culture.   Shama4realzCheck out https://www.instagram.com/shama4realz on Instagram for more making fun of Christians.  You'll be happy you did.  Unless you are a real stick in the mud.  Church Stories Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/churchstoriesJoey/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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music on this episode 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 Svendsen Support the show

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

Here's to friends and hope.  Joey and Pricilla reflect on Joey's mental health crisis of 2019 with their pastors and friends, Josh and Lisa Surratt;  these two who were in their corner, up close and personal like very few were.  Josh and Lisa reflect on the sense of urgency they felt in prioritizing Joey's health and as their leaders, doing whatever was in their power to keep him safe.  During this time Joey's brain wasn't processing thoughts in a healthy manner (major understatement).  Fear of losing his job equated in fear of losing the house.  The Surratts are the leaders  of the church Joey is employed at so he [Josh] fielded a lot of Joey's irrational questions pertaining to these fears.  Lisa, a seasoned healthcare professional, wanted Joey to admit himself into the hospital right away.  Joey eventually ended up there for a week, and he shares what that time looked and felt like.  Brian McLaren also joins to converse with Joey who shares the role Brian played in his eventual full recovery.  Other episodes with Brian McLaren:230 – Why Does Jesus Sound So Harsh273 – Brian McLaren and His Book “Faith After Doubt.”Episodes of this story that precede this one:258 – “Why Talk About Our Hell.”261 – “To See a Son Suffer.”266 – “Anxiety and How it All Began.”Josh and Lisa Surratt:https://www.instagram.com/joshsurhttps://www.instagram.com/lisasurrattBrian McLaren:https://twitter.com/brianmclarenhttp://brianmclaren.netPricilla Svendsen:https://www.instagram.com/pricillalaJoey/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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music by jejune, courtesy of Joe Guevarahttps://www.discogs.com/artist/717259-Joe-Guevarahttps://rateyourmusic.com/artist/jejune“Keep Hope Alive” originally composed by Joel Hamilton  https://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.com/Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared Svendsen    Support the show

Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa Florer-Bixler, talks about her newly released book, How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace.  She explains why she is an "empathy skeptic" and how she can have rage for some one like President Trump while still wanting him to be free, as there's no healing that comes from a desire to see one punished.  She poses an important question: what are some justice-related issues that Christians can agree to disagree on and what issues are universally intolerable and incongruent to the gospel of Jesus Christ?  “We need a radical reorientation to the reign of God.”  -- MelissaThat sounds beautiful, doesn't it? Umm, YES. At the top of the episode, Joey, Ellen Mauro and Hayne Griffin discuss their issues with the word "heresy" and how the bible isn't age-appropriate for kids.  Hayne shares a story in which Bill Hybels "came to the rescue for women" and Ellen shares a spiritual awakening she's walking through in how one can't go wrong with focusing on Jesus' love while also having critical eyes for everything outside of Jesus.   Joey thinks he used to be brainwashed by Mark Driscoll.

So many of us evangelicals (current or former) have done it.  We thought the rapture happened, can't find our Christian loved-ones, so we call our born-again, spirit-filled grandma.  If the rapture happened, she'd be gone!  We sigh a deep relief when she answers, “Hey, sweetie.”  End times theology, the book of Revelation, the mark of the beast, the tribulation, a 1000-year reign, the Left Behind series and that “scary-ass” 70s movie they made us watch in youth group.  Author and theologian, Zach Hunt, says “not so fast, the book of Revelation is about liberation and hope.”   He shares with Jack Hoey and Joey Svendsen the content he wrote in his book, Unraptured: How End Times Theology Gets It Wrong .  Did Paul and Jesus think God was coming back in their lifetime?  How is a belief in the rapture anti-biblical?   Oh, yeah and what is it about Dolly Parton and Tom Hanks that make them both perfect candidates for the Anti-Christ.  Zach Hunt:https://twitter.com/zaackhunthttps://zackhunt.net/Jack Hoey:https://twitter.com/jackthelesserJoey/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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music on this episode 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

Mennonite Pastor, Duke Graduate and author, Melissa F-B, joins to talk about what she calls “reproductive justice.”  Is a living embryo an actual living person?  Is it mere tissue waste?  “No” and “no,” according to Melissa.  We discuss these matters and reflect on a truth that many evangelical Christians do not want to face:  their pro-life stances are actually conditional and far from consistent.  Just ask a beautiful (and desperate) couple who went the in vitro fertilization route, were successful, but have additional frozen embryos that will never be used.  What does a consistent pro-life stance look like and what sorts of hypocrisies are currently rampant in those who claim pro-life?  Within discussions along these lines, is there an important distinction between human life and personhood?  At the top of the episode, Joey talks with friends Ellen Mauro and Hayne Griffen about whether the "woke culture" wants to eliminate gender differences.  Joey embarrassingly reflects on how he didn't want his son to say "whoopsies" back in 2012 because it sounded too feminine and Ellen doesn't let her daughter say "panties."

While some people call ProGrace.org “Pro-Life Lite,” others label it as teetering on pro-choice.  Angie Weszely and her organization (Pro-Grace) takes heat from both sides, and as you'll hear in this episode, Angie doesn't believe Jesus would own either label. He always starts with grace, and this seems to be something unfortunately lacking in many hearts of those in the pro-life camp.  Co-host Ellen Mauro, who considers herself a “pro-life liberal” and one who is pro-life but votes pro-choice, joins us to talk about perhaps the most polarizing and potentially heated issues of the century.  ProGrace.org is a movement that offers training and other resources founded on a belief for God to give us a creative solution based on His wisdom and provision - and His love for BOTH the woman and the child.[Preview in Intro] of Pro-Choice or Pro-Life (Part 2): Melissa Florer-BixlerAngie Weszely: https://twitter.com/angieweszelyhttps://prograce.org/Ellen Mauro:https://www.instagram.com/ellenmauroJoey/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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodE-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music on this episode 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

One of the sensei's of deconstruction, Phil Drysdale, brings history, psychology, and philosophy into the “deconstruction conservation.”  Joey processes how he feels God graciously treats people who lose their faith.  Phil supposes that no one chooses to walk away from God and how those who stop believing are usually the ones who followed Christianity with the most zeal.  Could we all just be doing the best we can with what we've been given?  Are really bad things typically done with good intentions?  All people think they're the good guys but we're all a mess. What if God administers justice by healing us all?  At the top of the episode, Ellen and Joey welcome a new guest host, Hayne Griffen to talk suicide, masturbation and how Christianity has robbed women of body autonomy.  Phil Drysdale:  https://www.instagram.com/phildrysdaleJoey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee giving opportunity: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsSupport Us:Join us as a patron! https://www.patreon.com/pwnapod or leave a Venmo tip right @  https://venmo.com/joey-svendsen Join the discussion: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PWNAtalk Socials: https://twitter.com/joeysvendsen https://www.facebook.com/PWNApod E-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.

Christianity Today released episode one of a podcast series that narrates and reflects on the rise and fall of the late Mars Hill Church in Seattle, formerly led by Pastor Mark Driscoll.  Dr. Tony Jones (former friend of Mark Driscoll), who appears on this documentary, joins us alongside Ellen Mauro (remained a part of the Mars Hill Church family until the very end) and Jack Hoey (former admirer of Mark Driscoll) to discuss the content of this new documentary series.  Are pastors with similar track records as Driscoll's, aware of the harm they are causing?  Are they hearing from God?  If not, do they believe they are?  Did anything good happen at Mars Hill Church, considering what we now know?  We reflect on these questions and propose a few more: If one is known for his charisma, should this disqualify her from leading a church?  Is evangelicalism's main vehicle entrepreneurialism?  So many people who loved and sacrificed for the church community of Mars Hill are still hurting to this day.  Many of them are still asking, “How did I not see what was really happening?”Podcast being discussed in this episode:  https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/podcasts/rise-and-fall-of-mars-hill/Dr. Tony Jones: https://reverendhunter.com/Ellen Mauro:  https://www.instagram.com/ellenmauroJack Hoey: @jackthelesser (twitter and Instagram) Joey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee giving opportunity: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelps Support Us: Join us as a patron! https://www.patreon.com/pwnapod or leave a Venmo tip right @  https://venmo.com/joey-svendsen Join the discussion:https://www.facebook.com/groups/PWNAtalk Socials:https://twitter.com/pwnapodhttps://twitter.com/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApod  E-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.

Over the years, Pastor With No Answers has had a big tent,  allowing for a wide array of perspectives, some of which would get your ass canceled by the liberals and others getting you completely cancelled by the conservatives.  The intent of this podcast however has always been to be a platform for people, not a position.  A podcast where real people share their real journeys and utilize a public space to share candidly, raw and honest personal reflections, right or wrong, for better or for worst.   It's a "pro people's podcast" that operates with the following belief:  If we can find a common ground of love, we can also find a way to learn from one another and change personally for the better.   Today, as we celebrate 300 episodes, representing the hearts and souls of people, we relive key moments of 5 different episodes that represent why this podcast exists (enjoy some fun, pivotal and light-hearted moments in between these five focal points):Episode 11:A pastor who didn't want us to air this episode, offended by the vulgarity  we discussed.  We ended up airing the episode, keeping him anonymous and voice disguised. Episode 251: Interview with a leader at Westboro Baptist “Church” Episode 120: Joey's and Pricilla recounting the day Pricilla flew out to say her last good-byes to her ailing father.  Joey implored Pricilla before her departure, to make sure her dad is saved, so he wouldn't spend eternity in hell.  They two discuss that sort of "christian thinking" and how Joey has changed in how he sees these things.  Episodes 74 and 81: Mars Hill Women, in the context of love,  speak out on the atrocities of Mark Driscoll.**Joey also processes his current  processing of being connected to leadership who endorses Mark Driscoll's continued leadership in ministry. **Episode 150:After doing everything "by the book" (i.e. Bible), a father faces the prospect of God's promises not working the way he always believed they would. Thank you so much, listeners! 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 + friends https://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.com/http://embassyfreqs.com/Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared SvendsenSupport the show

Every now and then, I give you a message that I had the opportunity to share with the local group of believers I get to be a part of.  In this message, I talk about pain, investigate the blessing that comes out of pain, hypothesize on the choices we have when we encounter pain, and submit to you that in a person's own journey of pain, we typically have very little business trying to talk some one out of their pain.  Can I say pain one more time?I also answer some questions that many of you have had when it comes to my pastoring in a southern evangelical culture where I find myself seeing the world very differently than many of my church family members.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/joeysvendsenhttps://www.facebook.com/PWNApodCALL 507-403-PWNA (7962):  Questions, Comments, Feedback, Pushback, frustration?Air it out on our voicemail and we may air it on an episode.E-mail PWNAcontact@gmail.com for correspondence.Music courtesy of Derek Minor:  http://www.derekminor.comand Joel Hamilton:https://mechanicalriver.bandcamp.comhttp://embassyfreqs.com/  Executive Producer of PWNApod:  Jared Svendsen  Support the show

We first interviewed producer and engineer Joel Hamilton back in 2011 in Tape Op issue #85. Joel has worked on records with Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, Highly Suspect, Pretty Lights, Iggy Pop, The Black Keys, Matisyahu, Dub Trio, Bonobo and the list goes on. Online publisher Geoff Stanfield has worked on several projects with Joel going back a decade, so he decided to give him a call and have him go on the record about teaching in India, thoughts on asymmetry and a recent project with Rick Rubin and Paul McCartney. Enjoy! Sponsored by Burl Audio https://burlaudio.com

Joel's list of credits is incredibly impressive, working on Grammy-nominated albums with artists such as Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Bonobo, Jolie Holland, Elvis Costello and Sparklehorse to name but a few, as well as being a highly respected musician in his own right.

One of the few women to translate the Bible, Bonnie Lewis discusses her journey that led to this wonderful masterpiece. The journey was wrought with outside criticism revolving around a female's audaciousness to do such a thing as translate the Bible.  Bonnie's  “inner Fundamentalist" wasn't so quick to let her off the hook in pursuing this endeavor;  but over time, her Maker made paths straight and vision cleared to proceed.  Part of Pastor With No Answers extended family, Bonnie, shares her journey that led to her writing the enlightening idiomatic translation of the Bible.  It's called Timshel, a collection of the most commonly heard stories in the Old and New Testament.  So, what do we make out of the chauvinistic nature of the Bible?  When everyone is getting a different meaning out of the Bible, how do we know what to trust?  And what finite being gets to be an authority of  God's work?  We discuss this and more.We also discuss a survival story from the big Texas snow that occurred this past winter.   Joey comes  clean with how Bonnie (and her husband, Cy) were recipients of some “anxiety texts” of his, around the time he was in crisis with his mental health.  Bonnie Lewis and Timshel:https://www.instagram.com/bonniegaillewis/https://www.timsheltranslation.com/Special Music Feature from “Terraform: The People” by Propaganda & DJ Mal Ski"We All In” (beginning of episode)"We Are All We Got” (end of episode) *download new album wherever you listen to musicJoey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsGet notifications each time we start raising money to get more information on our current opportunity to “save the day” for team humanity.

Our guest does not call this suicide, nor labels as euthanasia.  Working with Compassion and Choices, Rev. Madison Shockley advocates for the humane option for the terminally ill to choose the means and timing of their impending death.  Rather than facing the prospect of a ruthless and painful journey leading to the end, he advocates for freedom and peace that comes by giving them the driver seat of when and how they will die.  You'll be hard-pressed to find a more gracious, loving and biblically sound outlook on this endeavor that is now legalized in numerous American States. We discuss real-life instances in which people have benefitted from this option and how one goes about ending his or her life with this medical aid.  We also dissect evangelically-postured objections to one being able to take the timing of death into his own hands. Before any of this, Ellen Mauro, Jack Hoey III and Joey discuss and debate spanking kids and reflect on parenting children as an Enneagram 5.Compassion and Choices:https://compassionandchoices.org/ Ellen Mauro: @ellenmauroJack Hoey III: @JackthelesserJoey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsGet notifications each time we start raising money to get more information on our current opportunity to “save the day” for team humanity.

While I (Joey) personally find very primitive and archaic the belief in a God-ordained predestination of souls, Chris Date's holding to this position  doesn't lessen the amount of respect I have for him as a biblical scholar.  Chip, Chris and I discuss and debate the philosophical components of whether people can have real choice while at the same time, God also ordaining that choice they will freely make.  In other words, can God ordain that people have real choice while also ordaining what choice they will make?  Chris thinks so.  We have plenty of “if I treated my kids the way God does” analogies, talk a bit about whether Jack and Jill had real choice to go up the hill if the author writes it (you'll have to listen) and even ponder marital affairs being “God ordained.”  Chris Date and Rethinking Hellhttp://www.theopologetics.com/http://www.youtube.com/theopologetics/https://fuller.academia.edu/ChristopherDatehttp://www.rethinkinghell.com/http://www.youtube.com/rethinkinghell/Chip Judd's "8-Minute Mind Shift"https://chipjudd.com/category/mindshiftJoey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsGet notifications each time we start raising money to get more information on our current opportunity to “save the day” for team humanity.

This week we continue our journey through Aaron's "laid back and heavy" motif with Highly Suspect. Highly Suspect is an American rock band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The band consists of twin brothers Rich (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Ryan Meyer (drums, backing vocals), Johnny Stevens (guitar, lead vocals), and Matt Kofos (guitar, synthesizer, backing vocals). After starting as a bar cover band, they relocated to Brooklyn, New York, where they recorded The Worst Humans EP with producer Joel Hamilton. The band's first studio album, Mister Asylum, was released on July 17, 2015, earning Highly Suspect a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. It's that album we take a dive into this week. Mister Asylum debuted at No. 56 on Billboard 200, and No. 7 on the Top Rock Albums chart, selling 4,000 copies in its first week. Although not as obscure as some of the albums we discuss, the grungy hard rock of Mister Asylum shares the same DNA as albums from Royal Blood, cleopatrick and The Fairview.

We're in an age now where atrocities at the hands of Christian leaders are the norm.  Unspeakable hypocrisy, abuse and scandal.  On this episode we discuss the current state of evangelicalism and the church, we process the recent news on Ravi Zacharias' abuses on women and reflect on the actions and downfalls of other pastors, including Ellen Mauro's and Joey's former pastor, Mark Driscoll.  Joey and his wife Pricilla also went to Hooters in Charlotte NC.  Still negatively affected days after, Joey recounts the archaic and disheartening environment they found themselves in while he enjoyed some decently good wings.  Past interviews with former Mars Hill Church Elders' Wives (direct downloads):Trisha Wilkerson: https://bit.ly/3pzmEPwJen Smidt: https://bit.ly/3doTKPUTony Jones:https://reverendhunter.com/mediahttps://twitter.com/jonestony Ellen Mauro:https://www.instagram.com/ellenmauroJoey/PWNA Instagram:  www.instagram.com/joeysvendsenCurrent DonorSee: https://donorsee.com/pwnahelpsGet notifications each time we start raising money to get more information on our current opportunity to “save the day” for team humanity.
