Pastor With No Answers Podcast

Our guests both find it puzzling that throughout all eternity God has a place reserved for people that He will never move towards redemption. Isn’t God always good? Does He lose something if a sect of his creation isn’t redeemed once and for all? If God is a tyrant, let’s all hope for the best. Is there more than meets the eye? Shouldn’t all Christians at least hope that all are saved? No thought is out of bound in this one.

We talk to non-trump supporter Jack Hoey (the father) and Trump-Supporter, Kerry Haplin (KJV Guy) 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 this potential worth the risk of having a loose canon in the Oval office? Our guests have some strong opinions on all these matters.

Chris Russo, pastor at Seacoast Church lost his mom to cancer early in life and has managed to avoid truly dealing with it until over twenty years later. How does this happen? Is anyone to blame? How is a child affected by losing a parent early in life? Why not ask an adult who experienced it. Only he isn’t sure himself.

Dan Koch (Sherwood) and Scott Mellinger (Zao) join Jared and Joey to talk about their faith in God, how it’s evolved, or how it has died all together. Lots of personal narratives on this one, but theology, philosophy, apologetics and debate couldn’t be avoided. http://dankoch.net/ http://sherwoodmusic.net/ https://www.facebook.com/ZAO.Official

Mike Lewis (Giving is Believing Podcast) joins the conversation to discus mission work, Christians’ responsibility to sacrifice, and the current state of the church. Do Christians have a responsibility to go to other countries? How much money should Christians part with? Are churches dropping the ball? Should we feel guilty about how good we have it in America?

Pastor Bob Harper and Jason Wisdom (formerly Becoming the Archetype) bring their expertise and years of study about End Times to challenge the stereotypical “trumpet sounding, twinkling of an eye, 666, antichrist” approach to Revelation. We also talk about whether the dead are with Jesus right now or are they waiting in slumber, how long will Jesus take to come back, and were there real zombies when Jesus rose (Matthew 27:52) Check out Jason Wisdom’s new band: deaththerapy.org deaththerapymetal.bandcamp.com For more theology discussions with Jason, go to: becauseitstrue.com For more theology discussions with Bob, go to: bobharper.org venturavineyard.org

Brenda McBride shares the story of her tragic stillborn, the ensuing pain of infertility leading to another devastating miscarriage, and the miracle of how God redeemed it all. This is a story of prophesy that predicted these trials, a story of Christians having no idea how to interact with their sister in pain, a story of a marriage that persevered through the hell and high water. Join us for some laughs, tears, reflections of a true nightmare, and a testimony of eternal perspective. These songs played on this episode in order of appearance. “Song from a Secret Garden” by Secret Garden. Universal, 1995. “Dreams” by Kings Kaleidoscope. Tooth and Nail, 2014. http://www.kingskaleidoscope.com/ “Come Home” by Matt and Toby Capital Christian Music, 2012 https://www.facebook.com/MattAndToby/

Is worship leading a calling? Do all worship leaders struggle with an ego? Should female worship leaders reveal cleavage? Is playing on people’s emotions bad? What percentage of worship leaders practice moves in the mirror? Should people try and worship, even when they don’t feel like it? Is it okay for “worship music” to be “a thing?” Devin Shelton (Emery) and Toby Morrell (Emery, BadChristian) along with our “off-the-charts” talented friend, Robbie Madison, chime into this unorthodox discussion on worship music and worship leading.

Do we miss the mark in interpreting what scripture says about alcohol? Maybe. Maybe not. Leighton Flowers from Soteriology 101 Podcast and our buddy, “country-boy Ryan Amick” discuss alcohol, getting drunk, “losing your witness” if seen drinking in public and what Paul means when he warns against “causing your brother to stumble.” During the episode, Joey and Ryan partook in Tap Room Session IPA. Joey had one, We lost count of Ryan’s.

Pediatrician for the Svendsen and (Toby) Morrell kids, Dr. Clifford should be a quadriplegic. He talks about his accident, his miracle recovery, being a doctor that believes all healing comes from God, on whether kids are overmedicated, about his take on free health care and on why he thinks humans suffer.

Pastor and Counselor Chip Judd joins the discussion to discuss mental illness, his experiences in walking Joey through his depression, prescription drugs, why Christians tend to oversimplify this issue, and how those who are plagued with mental illness can reconcile these struggles with their faith. With a Masters Degree in counseling, over 12,000 hours of counseling experience, and even a spiritual encounter that made him a Jedi in helping others, this is a must listen for those that struggle or are close to some one that does.

Since you don’t believe in God, would you cheat on your wife? Are you bitter towards Christians that believe being gay is a sin? How do you think the world will end? Is Meryl Streep the best actress of all time? Who’s the greatest Emery singer of all time? Yeah, we wanted to take a break and not focus on just one topic. Figured we’d tackle 20 or so.

One of our listeners quit his ministry job because of extremely low pay. Why not bring on a successful business man who is currently Chief of Operations of one of the biggest churches in America? Man, oh, man. This dude’s church may have messed up bad. Interesting stuff revealed here.
