In his book, “In Good Faith: Questioning Religion and Atheism,” Shay incorporates Jewish, Christian and Muslim voices for a fresh, modern re-evaluation of religion and of atheism.  Why does God always seem so pissed? Why wouldn’t God’s existence be made more obvious to everyone so all would believe?  Is Genesis allegorical? Old Testament human trafficking? Are scientists in denial if they deny the existence of a god?  What kind of messiah are Jewish people looking for? (Interview starts at 16:55 mark) 

Joey, Natalie and John also talk about profoundly violent and grotesque movies (i.e. Midsommar) and whether there is merit in “the disturbing.”

Introducing some friends of mine who you’ll be hearing more from in “Pastor With No Answers Land.” The three of us met in a house church, we discuss here how that church family functioned as a church recovery group for people addicted to "church anger." We also discuss postpartum depression, an embarrassing podcast blunder of mine, and how John, as a recovered addict, would love to roll a blunt and watch Netflix with his wife once in a blue moon; just not worth the risk for him.

Joey and John Mark have become friends over the years, also sharing similar paths in personal faith changes and how they view their Christianity. Both have learned how to rest more in their questions, ween off the need of having certainties, and prioritize love over everything. Both also still consider themselves followers of Jesus, enjoy being a part of a church and also understand why many have left. They talk a bit about their faith here. Also, enjoy a sneak preview of the new forthcoming John Mark Mcmillan album, “Peopled With Dreams.”

The future will bring about more than most are imagining. Did you know there’s a good chance the prostitution industry will be completely monopolized by SexBots within 30 years? Seen and heard from on BBC, NBC and other media outlets, Mal Fletcher has many subjects of expertise, including social futurism. Instead of Robocop, how about Robopastor?

Jarrid Wilson took his life last year in September.  A few years back, he hosted this show while my wife and I took the place of “guests," sharing the effects my depression has had on our marriage while Jarrid shares his story of battling depression as well. Lots of laughs, lots of heartfelt introspection, while openly discussing and de-stigmatizing this common sickness that many endure.

Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple Music

Thomas Oord  (ThomasJayOord.com) wrote a book entitled “God Can’t.”  It’s an articulate  presentation of Open Theism, a belief that supposes for freewill to exist, the future is unknowable, even to God.  So if God doesn’t know the future, this would mean limitations in his power which goes against what most believe about God.  At the same time, this posture is more suitable to make sense of all the pain in this world.   It goes like this: It’s not that God allows evil, but rather because He gave us freewill, He doesn’t know the evil we’ll do and thus can’t stop it.  This is an intriguing discussion in which Jack Hoey and I try to make sense of this theology as well as poke holes in it.  Although I do not hold this view, it’s certainly not as far-fetched as it may appear at first glance.

Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple Music

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Deck the Halls,” and “Holly Jolly Christmas” for many, but for others, it’s nothing but a “Blue. blue, blue blue Christmas.”  

Many stories of grief have been shared on this podcast (Episodes 21,22,35,39,122,150) so I wanted to process the in’s and out’s of grief with a professional, especially pertaining to the holidays.  I sat down with a local therapist here in Charleston SC  for us to glean more understanding and guidance about interacting with those who are grieving.  What are the best ways to be supportive?  Are there times when it’s appropriate to push a bit?  What should one say (or not say)? 

There’s also some helpful information directed towards those listening who are currently grieving during the holidays.  Merry Christmas and we remember those who do not find it merry at all.

Theme Song by Stoy Prioleau (aka: Riggy Roc): Apple Music

The church should be notorious for welcoming questions, having conversations without the short fuses and pretense, and allowing for environments where people are comfortable with being brutally honest.  Because supposedly, we’ve been rescued by love and “perfect love casts out fear,” right?  So what do we have to be afraid about? Today’s guest had questions about sexuality and him merely having these questions was not welcomed by his church.  

So Jonathan Foster wrote a book about his experience entitled “Questions About Sexuality that Got Me Uninvited from My Denomination.”   The church, the gay community, more understanding, possible unity.  At the very least, can we have a conversation?

Today’s guest says “not so fast” in regards to last episodes liberal handling of wife to husband submission.  These verses, according to him, are clear and consistent enough to grapple with.

It almost feels archaic to follow these instructions but many couples raised on fundamentalism perceived these passages as instructions for a healthy marriage and many still do.  Our two guests, Trisha Wilkerson and Ellen Mauro, join SvenZone to discuss insight on how they arrived at a different place. Once gaining a way more robust, rich outlook on marriage, neither adhered any longer to the simplicity of submission and that has bid them well in their relationship with their husbands.
