[This episode has Amy Alderman, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen]Joey brought up his lack of interest in the WNBA as well as his unmatched preference for women's gymnastics over men's gymnastics as an ice breaker in this episode; but the conversation evolved and carried on into what "being a boy" and "being a girl means," as well as the impact of nature verses nurture in such matters.  Joey shares a bullying situation from middle school and Joey and Amy try to understand what Stoy means in his "every behavior is acceptable" tirade.  E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicSend a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Be a Patron / Tip the Host (Venmo)

[This episode has Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen in it]Stoy is quiet and usually disregarding of politics but the recent "meeting" with Trump and Zelensky has his head swirling, motivating him to "talk politics" with some fervor on this one.  Hayne is very distrustful of politicians, the media, the church, and people who are "bought."  He also reminds us all of some ancient wisdom about fear.  And Joey just had to use this episode to get Stoy's reaction on hearing the doctrine of Calvinism for the first time. E-mail the PWNA team here.Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple MusicSend a text to the crew (we may read these on air)Be a Patron / Tip the Host (Venmo)

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

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 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?

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.

[This episode is produced by Stoy Prioleau and hosted by Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, Ellen Mauro, Liz Miller]Birthed out of the discussion in "episode 36: generation z people, trans people and those gay olympic ceremonies,"  in this episode, Joey shares how he posted some sentiments on that archaic social networking platform, Facebook, fairly certain the straight-forwardness of its message to fellow Christians in regards to Jesus' radical message of love.  Numerous comments on the post however highlighted some very different takes on how a Christ-follower is to reflect the gospel.  Joey, Amy, Liz and Ellen talk about here what seems to be two very opposing views amongst Christians about what "Christ's love" for the world should look like amongst the body of believers.  As the four discuss, it seems that certain actions and words the hosts see as "peeing on the gospel" of radical love, many other christians see as "taking stands" for what is good and right.  Joey's Facebook post reflected on the outrage by many christians  on the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. He expressed the potential delight it would be to see all Christians truly serving and loving how he personally believes Jesus is calling all Christians to love.  It says the following: "I've made some of the biggest screw ups of all, so I totally understand the whole “he who is without sin cast the first stone” concept and how it plays out here.  But man, it's so hard to see the church miss the mark on the very basics of the Christian faith.  TBH, I think it's debatable whether this is Christian persecution in the first place, but wouldn't it be so refreshing to see brothers & sisters all over the world actually loving their neighbors & not having such a short fuse with stuff that rubs them the wrong way?  Is it fear?  Have we not been perfected by love?

With newly added commentary, this is a re-airing of the first episode of Pastor With No Answers Podcast, “Can a Christian Be a Universalist?”  (originally aired Oct 4th 2015).  A question I was only dabbling in at the time, although was very optimistically suspicious, given what I'd already taken in of various books, including the Bible.  Now, it's hard for me to see it any other way.  Just like many have faith in the Resurrection of Jesus, I have faith that all things truly will be redeemed and resurrected because of it.  (Col 1:20)It feels like the Holy Spirit is showing more and more people that Jesus really is the image of the invisible and when He prayed “Father forgive, for they know not……,” we were also hearing the heart of the eternal Father.   Love, Joey   Get The B-Sides Feed   Facebook Discussion Group here.

[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

Joey discusses how he feels the church is still way too focussed on the "letter of the law," muddying the waters of love and holding the exact counterproductive beliefs the Apostle Paul warns against in his letter to the church in Galatia.  If the church allowed Jesus' words to reign supreme and took serious His command to love, Christianity would cease from being  "just another religion of do's and don't's" and be transformed back into a body known for a new way of life, sparked by a perfect love from a God of love who casts out all fear.  Maybe tapping into the spirit of this God is what we base our unity on, inside and outside the church.  Just maybe.   GetThe B-Sides FeedFacebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Music: Robbie Madison's The Way that You Love.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.

[On this episode: Zoë Roff, Amy Alderman, Joey Svendsen]*Special song tribute by Riggy Roc (Stoy Prioleau) Listeners, This is Joey.  On this episode, my co-host and friend Amy Alderman join Zoë Roff in paying tribute to her brother Zeth and reflecting on his passing away by suicide.  We all four went to the same high school, know the same people; so for us, it was a meaningful glimpse back into an era of time we all shared, living in the same town at our most impressionable ages.  That means something special to me, especially as I get older.  Zeth's story, although uniquely beautiful and horrific, also represents the narrative of all humans; and most specifically the many who just like me, have experienced the havoc caused by the darkness of mental illness.  So, cheers to one of the brightest and kindest out there, Zeth Davis.Special thanks to Stoy Prioleau (aka Riggy Rock) for the beautiful musical tribute)Get The B-Sides Feed  Facebook Discussion Group here.E-mail the PWNA team here.Closing song by Mechanical RiverSend a Text to the show!

[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.

[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.

[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.

[hosts contributing on this episode: Joey Svendsen]Corey Nathan, host of the Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each Other Podcast, joins the show to discuss a weakness of his.  He has a very hard time keeping composure when it comes to difficult discussions about politics and religion.  But deep in his heart, as a former Jewish man, now Christian, he knows that love is the goal.  And thus, the birth of his podcast.  Joey and Corey talk how much of society sees people with bad beliefs as bad people who should be scorned; and there's certainly no aiming to humanize them.  Joey admits to sentiments about some one who he fears will anger people, but is finally learning what may be the true meaning of following Christ.  Corey believes that most people are in the "exhausted majority," people who truly are "done with" the hatred and polarity, but their exhaustion breeds silence.  There's some political talk as Corey is a fan of what Biden has done so far, and the two discuss the backwardness of believing deeply in a conviction and trying to spread that zeal by yelling and belittling others.  On this Episode, we welcome:Corey Nathan / Instagram / Podcast 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:  Mechanical River
