[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.

Talking about our experiences as kids together, for the first time as adults.

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.

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.
