[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.

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.

[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.

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.

[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 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." After getting through some jokes and reverting back to being middle school kids, three "Gen-X-ers" talk parenting, including differing opinions on tough love, the prospect of out-living one's child and what age-appropriate discipline may look like. 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.
