Christmas Playlist Apple Music I Spotify
For the final episode of the year, Hayne rounds Joey and Robbie up for some Christmas talk, picking up where they left off last year in "Baby, It's Cold Outside (EP13)," the last episode these three talked Christmas for an hour. Today they talk whether or not the brilliance of the movie Four Christmases is all due to Vince Vaughn's humor. They deliberate on whether Santa and elaborate gift-giving conflicts with the purity of the true Gospel story, and consider if the German tradition of “night of Saint Nick” may be a better option. The three go in to a bit of the history of that tradition and reflect on Christmases past, how their parents implemented Santa into their childhood christmases and how they have walked this season out with their kids currently as parents themselves. They also manage to fit in a conversation about a scientific study on guys' need for quality “guy-time.”

[This episode is with Amy Alderman, Matt Oxley, Jed Payne, Joey Svendsen]
Joey had a kidney stone that worked through him like clockwork. It made him very happy. Jed educates everyone on Kratom. Matt, Jed and Amy school Joey on the true definition of a "furry," and Amy doesn't think any one belongs with a tail, even if they are looking for belonging.

[This episode is Joey Svendsen joined by five friends from his youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, Billy Jones, Mike Colon, Penny Sharp, and B.J. Slotkin]
Part 1 can be listened to here or viewed on YouTube.
Part 2 can be listened to here.
Joey, Jon, Gail, and Billy have talked twice and now they (and you) get to hear from some of their friends from youth group, peers who've listened in on those other episodes. Mike Colon, one of Joey's best friends in high school, shares an experience he had in church; racism from a peer's parent. It affected him for life. Penny reflects on getting married right out of high school; after a divorce and experiencing multiple tragedies, she yelled at God, now feels closer to Him than ever, but isn't currently part of a church. B.J., one of the "Youth Group Popes," doubts some of his past holy spirit experiences and regrets some of his past religious mindsets he now believes lacked true love for all types of people.

[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.

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

[Produced by Stoy Prioleau, with Hayne, Stoy, Amy and Joey]
On Part 1 of this conversation, "Firefighter Hayne, Doing the Lord's Work in Ravaged North Carolina," listeners heard stories of Helene's destruction in Western North Carolina through the personal story of our firefighting friend, Hayne Griffin, recounting that dreadful night that took his whole community by surprise. As the conversation carried on during the recording, the hosts got into some theology about God and prayer, in the context of natural disasters. This "part 2" captures that deeper layer of discussion including Joey's lack of faith in praying for storms to turn away and the nuance of reframing "natural disasters" as simply "nature." and how things are.

[Produced by Joey Svendsen, this episode is a collection of clips from a recent Seacoast Church Podcast, link to full episode RIGHT HERE].
Regular to the PWNA Podcast through the years, here's an update on our good friend and Pastor, Chip Judd's physical health, as well as some talk (from the Seacoast Podcast) on how the church has dropped the ball in many ways on truly helping people change for the better, due to its rejection of science and cold shoulder through the years to the professional mental health community. Chip is embarrassed by the church but is motivated to help bridge some gaps. The conversation closes out with a discussion on whether Jesus wants us to be happy.
Keep up with Chip's YouTube Channel.

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

[This episode was produced by Joey Svendsen and is joined by three friends from Joey's youth group days: Jon Bazzle, Gail Santavicca, and Billy Jones]
you can watch this conversation on YouTube here.
Joey joins three old friends from the old youth group, all but one are still Christians but you'll never guess; all four contributors have changed much. Joey shares with his friends on this episode that, due to his current beliefs, the old church family, or at least many of them, would probably have a hard time believing that Joey is still a Christian. Billy, or shall we call him "Youth Group Superman," was surprised to hear how highly revered he was by his peers back in the day. Gail has a child who is a trans person and admittedly was ready to pounce as a mother bear, in the event of possible conversation that's derogatory to the LGBTQ community. Jon definitely still swears as an adult but shares how as a youngster, he didn't truly understand -- or walk out -- Jesus' command to love others.

[This episode, produced by Joey Svendsen, has Ellen Mauro, Jed Payne, Joey Svendsen, and special guest and original host to the show, Jared Svendsen]
Televangelists like Kenneth Copeland's behavior don't appear reflective of God by any means, and it certainly seems as if people are being led astray by the sort of prosperity gospel teaching he espouses. However, there seems to be more to Mr. Copeland's story and it's difficult ruling out just plain 'ol evil. Thus, Ellen, Jed, Jared and Joey do not.
The four also get an update from their good friend and co-host of the show, Hayne Griffen, a firefighter in Asheville NC smack dab in the middle of search and recovery, trying to help put the pieces of his community back together.
Lastly, Ellen finally gets to push back on the pushback she has received thus far to her plans to visit a medium to investigate talking to the dead.

This episode was originally recorded in July of 2016, shortly after Donald Trump became the Republican Party's presidential candidate. Little did we know at the time of this conversation, that in 5 short months, he would be the next president of the United States of America.
[show-notes from episode 40] We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin about how Trump pulled off the miracle of being a frontrunner in the presidential race, we discussed his chances at winning, and what major changes are in store for America with a Trump presidency. Is he trustworthy? Could he bring a deconstruction to the ineffective politics we all have trouble believing in? Is the potential value of a Trump presidency worth the risk that comes from having a loose canon in the Oval office? Our guests have some strong opinions on all these matters.

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

[This episode is produced by Joey Svendsen, having contributions from Ellen Mauro, Robbie Madison, Amy Alderman, Joey Svendsen, Jared Svendsen, Stoy Prioleau, and Michael Sweet, courtesy of Seacoast Podcast]
Check out Robbie's single "Lost My Best Friend" / Spotify / Apple
A lot is on the table for this one. From a discussion on the rapid transition of the 1980s glam metal scene, to a complete Seattle Grunge-takeover in the early 1990s, to a reading of journal entries about my (Joey) mental health crisis, this time 5 years ago. Listeners are also treated by hearing clips of the brand new single by our very own Robbie Madison called "I Lost My Friend," this song partly inspired by seeing his friend Joey (me) Svendsen walk through that very same mental health crisis 5 years ago.
Lastly, Joey talks to Amy and his brother Jared about Ellen's interest in talking to a medium. Amy and Jared have stern warnings, encouraging her to abort this plan.

[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 with Joey Svendsen, Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Robbie Madison, and Stoy Prioleau, was produced by Joey Svendsen]
The three videos discussed in this episode can be found here: video, video 2, video 3.
Some deep sharing on this episode, Hayne talks about the anger he lives with and Robbie shares how as a child he was discouraged from being proud of anything. The five talk about standup comedians, Hayne likening them to modern-day prophets, highlighting their importance in society.
Joey presents a couple of jokes he saw on instagram, one was a story by a comedian about a family member with down syndrome, the other was a black male mocking the voices and facial expressions of white college, female students. Can comedy go too far? Is every topic fair game to laugh at? Is there a "right way" to make fun of anything? Recently on a text feed amongst the podcast host team, Amy thought Hayne made a "fat joke" about her and even though he didn't, Amy shares why she wouldn't have objected.

[This episode is produced by Hayne Griffen and hosted by Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffen, Robbie Madison, and Matt Oxley]
Robbie became a father [thrice] recently and the four reflect on parenting in the context of faith, Joey sharing seasons in which he didn't have the tools to guide his kids spiritually, given his own confusion and angst about the deeper things, at those points in his life. Joey also processes out loud a situation in which an adult with leadership position over one of his kids crossed major lines and asks his co-hosts for feedback on how he handled the situation. Peer mentoring in high gear!
The three also talk appropriateness in regards to joking about some one's gayness, they offer Robbie moral support for his upcoming vasectomy and share what they believe to be backwards, the emphasis Christians put on a "sinners' prayer," when simultaneously putting very little focus on whether one has any fruit from living a gospel-centered life.

Stoy Prioleau, one of the hosts of the show was asked to conduct the wedding ceremony of his son, Darion Prioleau and daughter-in-law, Jyree Savoy. A step in this greater process is sitting down for a 1 on 2 to get a feel for the current climate of his kids' relationship, assess their current expectations of a future together and offer any piece of advice or encouragement along the way. Well, the listenership gets to listen in because Stoy, Darion and Jyree agreed to "hit record."
With some proper heckling that good dads are privileged to partake in, Stoy asks probing questions before communicating to them why he believes the relationship is built for longevity. Enjoy listening to beautiful humanity, a father and his loved ones discussing life, faith, commitment and love.

[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? HAHA, let’s bring those WWJD bracelets back."

[This episode was recorded on August 1st, produced by Joey Svendsen, with hosts Matt Oxley, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen]
Today, Matt educates us on the real story behind the "trans athlete" female boxer and the three discuss the opening ceremony and how many churches have lost their damn minds in how they interact with culture. Also part of the discussion entails positivity and the tension of having good friends who truly care and not wanting to burden these friends with personal baggage. It wraps up with Matt and Stoy arguing on who had/has it better as youngsters, Generation X or the current Generation Z.

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
