[For a written version of this episode, click here] Special Song, Robbie Madison: Spotify | Apple Music Jaden Ivey of the Chicago Bulls was waved for speaking out against "fake Christians," and the NBA for supporting and endorsing sin. Here's a quick take on how it appears Mr. Ivey is opting for religion rather than walking out the glorious path of love, that Jesus called Christians to. E-mail Joey here.

[On this episode: Jack Hoey III (Substack), Chip Judd (Website), Roy Jacques, Joey Svendsen] Joey's Church Family joins for this episode to discuss beliefs, the supernatural, the bible, proof of God, and what many see as the slipperly slope of deconstruction. Jack, Chip and Roy listened beforehand to an episode released in January called, "That's Not How the Bible Works, God Isn't Love, Casual Christians & Pan-Handling" and respond with personal reflections about that conversation a...
[This episode has Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, Matt Oxley, Joey Svendsen] Matt Oxley, part of the Pastor With No Answers family, grew up in a charismatic, evangelical environment where faith was vibrant and experiential—complete with things like speaking in tongues and a deep belief in the supernatural. All of his years of being part of the podcast, however, Matt’s beliefs had him in a place where he no longer believed in God at all. Recently, Matt has had a life-altering reengagement with...
[With Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen] So what are the moral ramifications of assassinating "leaders" before they do great harm? What is the significance of Trump's recent caricatures of the Obamas? What did we learn from Bad Bunny about Puerto Rico and how Puerto Ricans likely view the U.S.A.? Along the way of discussing these questions, Stoy shares some heartfelt thoughts on his military service, Hayne articulates some thought-provoking nuances of te...
[This episode has special guest, John Mark McMillan, and Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Joey Svendsen] Is the Bible meant to be a definitive “how to believe” manual? Is faith something "smart enough people" can crack like a formula? And what’s going on with Christians who downplay God’s love while camping out on Him being “just” and “holy”? (There was even a "biblical influencer" who flat-out said, “God isn’t love.” Yeah… wow.) The conversation also digs into the mysterious label o...

[This episode has Hayne Griffen, Robbie Madison, Ellen Mauro, and Joey Svendsen in it] It’s a full-on Christmas hangout with the whole crew as everyone brings their own holiday quirks, confessions, and laughs. The team dives into their favorite Christmas movies, what the “Christmas spirit” even is, and reflect on joy and spoiled kids. Joey and Hallmark movies don't mesh (and he honestly wouldn’t mind if Christmas just hurried on by this year). Robbie shares the mixed feelings he had a...
Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau and "the Pastor," Joey Svendsen explore "Charlie Kirk worship," mourn his senseless passing, and reflect on today's society when deaths (even murder) are celebrated. Also, Hayne met and got to know the "80s heartthrob," Kirk Cameron, (of the sitcom "Growing Pains") and shares that he was an absolute delight, while Joey questions Kirk Cameron's sentiments that the "Christian celebrity" expressed about Taylor Swift, believing Kirk's posture repre...
[This episode has Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen] Joey's original plan for this episode crumbled at the beginning due to an ice breaker question about the impact of racism during recovery efforts of "Katrina ravaged" New Orleans 20 years ago. One thing led to another, a rare argument flared amongst the host crew but by the end of the conversation, the pieces were put back together with friendships firmly intact. E-mail Joey here.

Currently on tour together, John Mark McMillan and Zach Bolen (frontman of the band Citizens) join the podcast to discuss faith, life on the road, songwriting, personal testimonies, and what being real with God looks and feels like to them. Many people interact with their songs as "worship tunes," but they don’t fit the Contemporary Christian Music mold and for various reasons, these guys aren't setting out to write worship songs. Throughout this episode you’ll hear their songs intertwined th...

[this episode is brought to you by Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, Joey Svendsen] Joey brings up something he read about a pair of conjoined twins, Stoy thought they were still called Siamese twins, and once again this podcast proves its lack of "political correctness" in handling various issues. Stoy points out certain types of people who can't help in fostering societal unity, Hayne educates us on other systems of prejudice that likely won't make sense to Americans, and the three friend...
Michelle Van Loon was "getting around," doing drugs and acting 'a fool as a Jewish teenager but when a friend introduced and evangelized her to Jesus (may or may not have been over some weed), her life has never been the same. Michelle, author of numerous books, recently wrote "Downsizing: Letting Go of Evangelicalism's Nonessentials," and joins Joey to discuss the contents. Could "downsizing" be the only hope for unity in the church? Among the many topics discussed, the two talk ...

[The episode has three friends in it: Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, and Hayne Griffin and Stoy Prioleau] Joey stands up for himself when a peer calls him a "fake pastor" for not having time to engage in a conversation, uncharacteristically responding to this guy with a bit of abrasiveness.

[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.
