About this listen

 Love and listening rather than polarizing and cancelling, these are laid back conversations but only for grown ups. Joey Svendsen is a pastor who found no choice but to embrace mystery rather than toil with what he felt was the impossibilities of systematic theology. He found freedom in this shift but still hangs with many "systematic theologically-wired" people. Join him, his regular co-hosts and many special guests from all over the "theological map" (evangelicals and atheists included) as they discuss God, church, culture, tragedy, mental illness. Love will win. Might as well join the team.© 2023 Pastor With No Answers (and friends) Podcast Christianity Spirituality

    Time to Actually Listen to Jesus and Maybe Stop Eating Mexican
    Feb 16 2026

    [With Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau and Joey Svendsen]

    So what are the moral ramifications of assassinating "leaders" before they do great harm? What is the significance of Trump's recent caricatures of the Obamas? What did we learn from Bad Bunny about Puerto Rico and how Puerto Ricans likely view the U.S.A.?

    Along the way of discussing these questions, Stoy shares some heartfelt thoughts on his military service, Hayne articulates some thought-provoking nuances of terrorism, Amy disagrees with some of these thoughts on terrorism and Joey highlights his joy of celebrating diversity in America.

    That's Not How the Bible Works, God Isn't Love, Casual Christians & Pan-Handling (w/ John Mark McMillan)
    Jan 26 2026

    [This episode has special guest, John Mark McMillan, and Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Joey Svendsen]

    Is the Bible meant to be a definitive “how to believe” manual? Is faith something "smart enough people" can crack like a formula? And what’s going on with Christians who downplay God’s love while camping out on Him being “just” and “holy”? (There was even a "biblical influencer" who flat-out said, “God isn’t love.” Yeah… wow.)

    The conversation also digs into the mysterious label of a “casual Christian”—does that term actually mean anything worthy of having the terminology? And oh yeah, pan-handling.

    Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, and Joey Svendsen are joined by the one and only John Mark McMillan to discuss all of the above.
