When one co-host asks another co-host if she thinks he's going to hell, due to his lack of belief in God.  Here's that conversation.

Three kids belonging to some listeners of this podcast, as well as Joey’s son Waylon, talk about the deeper things in life.  We talk about how God is good in the context of tornadoes, some specific times their parents have cussed, how the devil is apparently stronger than God sometimes, and whether or not they would be nervous to babysit baby Jesus.  One of these kids is an open theist, none of them are quite sure whether skin is an essential organ, Waylon has lied to his dad recently and a couple of them think Cobain was killed by his wife.  Oh, and the devil created robbers and cancer.

If God has the type of unlimited power and unquenchable love most Christians ascribe to the Creator, the theological reasoning behind people being separated from God forever simply doesn't hold up, at least not to our finite minds.  

But there are so many verses in the Bible that point to a much greater salvation than what most Christians have been taught.  Hearing this episode, listeners will digest the reasons why a universal view of salvation is backed by scripture just as much (if not more) as traditional views of “heaven and hell” are.  In his book, “Holy Hell: a Case Against Eternal Damnation,”  Methodist minister Derek Ryan Kubilus lays out an exhaustive theological and philosophical framework that outlines not only why this view is far from heresy but also why it's very likely to be true.  

Joey and Derek also discuss many objections to this view, including notions like “God’s love has to be balanced by justice,” and how people need to be careful not “to put a human, man-made perspective of love on infinite God."

While spanking used to be fairly normal with very little cultural push back, many people in 2023 consider all forms of spanking child abuse.  Most would agree that hitting any part of a kid's body is abuse, in the event that an adult is relieving anger.  But are there healthy ways of going about spanking children? 

Ellen, Amy and Joey were all spanked as children.  Amy and Joey reflect on personal childhoods that benefitted from that form of discipline.  Ellen however is relentless in her view that spanking is always bad.

Hayne shares the story of breaking his neck in a biking accident and cursing God, only to feel God's love draw in closer as one of the most tangible instances in his life, ever. 

Throughout this story, you'll hear how Hayne went from being "fundamentalist, reformed, Hayne"  to"mystic Christian Hayne,"  how him and his wife Erica transitioned to a more simplistic way of life as a result of this horrific accident, why Hayne finds joy in not approaching faith as something to be mastered, and why he sees his Fire Department as his family.

[Hosts Contributing in this episode: Liz Miller / Joey Svendsen and "friend of the show," Sarah Eller]

This conversation started in Episode 309 and today continues with Joey and two of his former, female co-workers.  Was the "Billy Graham Rule" needed between him and these two friends (the co-workers), Sarah Eller and Liz Miller?  While Joey and Sarah are more comfortable with taking into consideration many of the cautions this rule represents, Liz finds it dated and believes it may be needed for "sad reasons."  The three discuss some angles of "the rule" in a way that only friends would be able to.

[LIVE Q&A / Call-in: We'd love to continue this conversation
with you all on Oct 26th @ 830PM EST.  RSVP HERE]

In a text thread the "host team" uses to communicate with one another, Joey sent a racial joke (video) for laughs.  You can view video here if you'd like it for extra context.
(It's also described in the conversation, so viewing isn't necessary)

Regardless of the joke not being sent with ill-intentions, damage was done to Stoy and the whole team was involved on that text thread.  This hang-out of some of the hosts, recorded for this episode, is the first time the team came together since Joey's insensitive blunder.   

The host team of Pastor With No Answers Podcast are actually friends in real life, some of them just getting to know one another.  Joey and Stoy were friends through school- age but after losing contact for almost 30 years, have rekindled their friendship as men.

[Hosts Contributing in this episode:   Jed Payne / Hayne Griffen]

Episode 5 of the New Era of PWNA, and it's all about conspiracies and why our guests feel that Christians gravitate toward them.  Mike Austin and Greg Bock join Jed and Hayne to talk about their book, "QAnon, Chaos, and the Cross."    The book addresses what these guys believe to be the rise in Christians believing conspiracy theories and white nationalism amongst western evangelical Christianity.  They also discuss the pitfalls of these things and where they think we are headed as a culture.

Pastor With No Answers is back with a new era of the podcast.  The same sorts of conversations and vibe with nine more hosts, including lots of Christians, an atheist, three gay people, that same ‘ol pastor, 2 black guys from the deep south, and a firefighter.

In Part 4, Amy describes why her faith is so strong while Ellen and Matt explain why she sounds fearful and also administers some peer pressure for her to read books from other religions.  Matt is glad he doesn’t have kids and Ellen will not take too kindly to her kids in the event that they don't supply grandkids.    

At top of episode, Jed proposes that the next big debate in the church will be whether or not people can marry and have sexual relations with robots.
