[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 hea...
[This episode has Chip Judd, Roy Jacques and Joey Svendsen in it. It originally aired on Mental Health + Mission of the Church Podcast] Chip Judd, friend of this podcast having made numerous appearances on it through the years, has had quite the recent life journey that could have ended his life, given his lungs were failing him.

[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 establish...
[This episode has: Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen] Amy's husband goes by "Dick."

Are we now raising a soft generation? Stoy gives updates on his "NBA bound" son and the four reflect on teen suicide a...
[This episode has Robbie Madison, Jed Payne and Joey Svendsen in it] Feels like a chill time of encouragement amongst three friends, like it's a church small group. Robbie sheds some light on the fallacy that "only good things should happen because of God," Jed still struggles with the concept of a "tit for tat" God, and Joey tries to encourage Jed with his own journey along the same lines after he shuts up about a recent UFO sighting of his.

[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.

[This episode, produced by Joey Svendsen, has Ellen Mauro, Jed Payne, Joey Svendsen, and special guest and original host to the show, Jared Svendsen] Televangelists like Kenneth Copeland's behavior don't appear reflective of God by any means, and it certainly seems as if people are being led astray by the sort of prosperity gospel teaching he espouses. However, there seems to be more to Mr. Copeland's story and it's difficult ruling out just plain 'ol evil. Thus, Ellen, Jed, Jare...
