Matt: I recently encountered this deep dive on Emery's catalog and career from the Nostalgic Emo Dad's podcast. It was such a trip to hear real fans speaking very honestly about our life's work both positive and negative. After I heard it I hit them up and told them I wanted to do an episode reacting to theirs with them. I loved hearing it and thought the fans of this pod would like to see where they agree and disagree with these takes. This is the original episode of theirs, and to follow will be the episode with me and them together.

This is just a bonus drop of a new project I’ve been working on that lives in the Labeled Universe that has a pretty good crossover with BC given that Underoath is the subject. This is the setup for a 10 episode series covering their newest record.
Coming off of “Erase Me”, the band was filled with conflict over sonic direction and personal issues. Underoath found themselves at a crossroads and were forced to dig deep and reflect on their history within the DIY punk & hardcore scene and the passion they felt at the inception of the band. With that focus, the band made the bold decision to not have any outside input from producers and set off on their own creative silo.

This episode was supposed to be a bonus episode for the club, but it got way deeper than we planned and after recording and wanted to share it to share some personal things and what’s happening to BC. Toby had a spiritual moment this weekend which caused him to have some deep and painful self analysis and helped him realize some things must change. Matt also feels much the same way. Though this discussion is off the cuff and totally raw, we hope it resonates with you and that you too can relate to how times in our life things must change.

In this episode, Mary Beth and Nicolle break down exactly what virginity means in our society, how it robs us all of the freedom to explore ourselves and our desires, and how we can take our power back.

Micah from Oh, Sleeper is a big believer in collaborative group effort. His band Oh, Sleeper is an example of a very high functioning group. The members are all hyper specialized both in the creation of the music, recording and production, business, customized light show and live production and much more, but Micah's main passion is the creation process, building abstract worlds and writing. This fuels Oh, Sleeper’s album concepts, but Micah's dreams are well beyond that and he now is looking to spread his wings beyond the band and explore the world of creative writing with the same enthusiasm that gets a rock group started. This enthusiasm for groups and the encouragement/accountability that they generate is central to Emery, BC, the whole Knuckle Breaker Universe, and particularly the Knuckle Breaker Challenge which begins this Monday.

The culture he grew up in tried to crush Ethan Thomas. Being gay and growing up in a conservative family and church in the 90s made Ethan become hidden and even resentful of himself. Why couldn’t he just pray the gay away? But somehow Ethan wasn’t crushed, he found a way to make it through and now can begin to finally live as the real Ethan.

Craig Gross was the founder of fireproof ministries and XXX Church. He ministered to people in the porn industry and did years of speaking gigs with Ron Jeremy who he became close friends with. XXX Church made porn blocking software and was the first sponsor of the BadChristian Podcast.
Since we have last heard from Craig, he and his wife Jennette have experienced a tremendous amount of personal and spiritual change. They have ventured in cannabis and then psychedelics which prompted them to begin to deal with trauma they had both been suppressing.
This conversation is them verbally processing and catching us up on their journey so far while still clearly being in the middle of it. They speak freely and unfiltered. The content of the episode may be triggering to some and includes trauma, abuse, and conspiracy theory type content, most of which goes unchallenged.
We made the decision to leave the full episode uncut and unedited and will leave it to you to decide what to take in and how to process it.

T&N Band: Paradise Now - We Never Die
The Question is arguably Emery’s biggest record and one of the most successful sophomore albums for a band on Tooth & Nail. The guys sit down with Zac and Lief, the director and Art director of this special, to talk about the making of The Question Digital Event, how the music of our youth influenced us all, and why small cities often don’t understand the artists who live there. We go deep on some old Christian music and bands and also talk about how film and cameras have become more accessible to the masses. What used to cost millions can no be done for thousands.

He has done profile pieces with A-list entertainers such as Kevin Bacon, Adam Devine, Saturday Night Live cast members, best-selling authors such as Rob Bell, Matthew Quick, and Jonathan Merritt.
His new book details Ketchum’s time touring with Christian heavy metal bands and trendy non-profits. Namedropping: Seeking Creative Truth Through Trendy Altruism and Punk Rock is a fly on the wall perspective of trends in “hip” Christian culture told through the eyes of a self-doubting rock journalist begging to belong. Witnessing healings, demonic possession, and the ever-present rock star ego, Ketchum’s stories are hilarious and heartfelt.

This feels like a classic 2015 BC episode. Anthony Wirth recently quit pastoring his growing church, a part of the Acts29 Church Planting organization Mark Driscoll started. Everything was going great until Anthony did a little reading and started asking questions like, why can't women be in church leadership, does God actually send you to Hell forever to burn, and are we actually predestined for a certain afterlife? The answers to those questions are too scary for many churches to address.

“We All Know How This Ends” by end-of-life doula Anna Lyons and funeral director Louise Winter opens up the conversation surrounding death and dying, something desperately needed for those of us who tread lightly around the subject, if at all. Through a collection of heartbreaking, surprising, and uplifting stories of the ordinary and extraordinary they encounter each day, Anna and Louise share the lessons they’ve learned about life, death, love and loss, and encourage us to embrace the end of our lives the same way we embrace the beginning. Uniquely compelling and thought-provoking, We all know how this ends offers real-world insight and advice and proves why is so desperately important for us to engage in open conversations about death.

This episode is a walk through of the rules of the game and how we will evaluate and score ourselves and a little how the teams will work. I thought the best way to do this would be to get with Devin and Caity, who often help push me through work and think through detailed things, and make sure that the rules makes sense. So this is just a conversation we were already gonna have about the rules and I thought it could be useful as many people might have the same questions and reactions as Devin and Caity.
Register for the challenge and se the rest of the details!

Also, Barbara McHugh stops by to talk about her new book Bride of the Buddha. It's a fascinating story that is a mix of of fiction and non fiction that tells the story of Yasodhara who also sacrificed a lot to help the man who would become Buddha. In fact, she might have played a deeper role in women's rights and acceptance within Buddhism than we ever knew.

We don't talk about Christianity or our specific faith as much as we used to on this podcast. Mostly this podcast has been the journey of learning to let go of things that seem very important and unlearning the behaviors and patterns that we had been programmed with by our families cultures and choices.
This episode is one in which we have a conversation with the Provoke and Inspire Podcast as they question Toby and I though the changes we have made in our life and faith publicly and over time. The end of the year seemed the perfect time to air it as we look forward to a 2021 that we hope to make pretty fuckin' crazy. See you on the other side.

Walt Shelton and his new book, The Daily Practice of Life, really made an impression on us. Having a practice-oriented approach is essential for meaningful living, but is that realistic? Walt draws from Christianity and what Jesus's practice may have looked like, but also incorporates deep wisdom from other traditions that turn out to be quite compatible with Jesus's approach to life. This perspective is a very good fit for a deconstructed Christian looking forward.
In contrast to building walls with gates opening only to creeds matching one’s own, this book helps readers:
- create a personal routine integrating faith and practical realities - draw on past ups and downs to improve focus on now and offer hope for a brighter future
- turn life experiences into parables with wisdom for more informed choices
- open up and respectfully listen and learn within and outside our own tradition
- amplify commonalities that implement the heart of all authentic religions

Dan Koch joins the show to talk about the transformation that fatherhood has caused in him. We then speculate about the role of church in our and our children's futures with how the decline of the church as a social cohesion force may be replaced or challenged with numerous organizations, religions, and cults. This thought-line prompts the "bad cult member thought experiment" in which one seeks to analyze or overcome group-think associated with the social groups they participate in.

Dan Koch is in the middle of a PHD program, dedicating his life to studying and doing therapy in the Christian/post-Christian online space. The small, off-beat, corner of the internet, and a certain generation, is emerging to be a field of study with its own experts, and is a growing and perhaps pivotal group for the unfolding future. How all of this unfolds is very critical. As people leave the religion and church practices of the past, we see more and more that the religious tendencies built within us are not so easy to mute. Moving forward, we see new norms and tribes rapidly emerging with familiar human dynamics. It will be important to engage, participate, and even contend for this space to be healthy and balanced. But is that possible, or is it a losing battle?

Daniel Dopp is a crossover guy, not only with music and sports, but also an indie to mainstream crossover guy. Daniel has been involved in putting out vinyl for acts like Chris Staples (twothirtyeight), Emery, The Classic Crime and the rest of the BC music family. He’s hosted house shows and promoted bands and their music since for years. Daniel moved into sports when he got an internship at ESPN in 2013, and is now on-air TV talent whose image is the bearded, tattooed, music guy who wears band shirts on every show. This conversation, also featuring Devin Shelton of Emery, is a very calibrating one that connects the small world that we all know all the way up to what is going on in the mainstream media in the pandemic and political era.

Our society is increasingly dependent on numbers and data, which has made two particular areas increasingly complex. There is the data that we all generate ourselves that now needs to be considered, its uses, value, and privacy, and secondly, in our information age, it is becoming ever more important to be data literate and know how to consume it and what to trust.

We're seeing the pressure to believe something even if you don't actually believe it move its way into mainstream culture's true seekers.

We're the ones who live in our reality anyway, so might as well enjoy what we've created for ourselves.

We also discuss whether racial discrimination is an issue in Hollywood and why Christian movies don't deliver the same punch as mainstream film.

Matt brings a science segment with an explanation of what good reasoning is and why we should reject knowledge from authority. This relates to everything from Joey learning how to use new recording equipment to our understanding of God. Also Toby is annoyed with people thanking God for stopping worse things from happening after something terrible happened, and Joey apparently shat himself during the recording of this episode.

Religious leaders have less control now that their followers have unlimited access to other thought-leaders online, muddying the waters of religion.

Jon Propper might be the best example of a full deconstruction and reconstruction of faith that we've heard from. As a pastor's kid, he grew up and even started preaching himself at 11 years old. He walks us through his journey of converting to Judaism, and then rounding back to Christianity in a bit different form. We also propose that it might be best to legalize prostitution for the sake of regulation.

Systems, institutions, and organizations tend to grow and change some along the way, but they rarely reverse course entirely or realize when they have become ineffective or even counterproductive. That's partly because the participants don't like to challenge their own system and outsiders criticism is easily dismissed.
We know people outside our churches have criticism, and we are aware of the tendency inside to continually give the benefit of the doubt. Seems like this is a bad recipe and begs the question, "How would we know if any or all particular church expressions were doing more harm than good tot he overall body?"

William Paul Young had a fundamental, evangelical upbringing that included many false beliefs about God. That led to many questions the church isn’t typically good at entertaining or even allowing, but he couldn’t stop asking. After coming clean about a marital affair to his wife, a new process of learning began in which false notions of God were discarded, and he wrote The Shack to share his new revelation of God with his friends and family. Hear about Young’s love for God as well as his rejection of many doctrines that most evangelical churches would deem essential.

There was an ugly and embarrassing thread on Twitter this weekend. Many of you observed it, and many participated in it. It was primarily in regards to the inclusion of Preston Sprinkle at BadChristian Con. Some feel that he is a bigot and his views are tantamount to violence and that BC is implicated by giving him the stage. I (Matt) think it's a tragic look and insight into the negative side of a text-based, hyper-connected platform like twitter. In order to try to rectify that, we have invited people from both sides of the argument to see if the vitriol is real, or just something that happens when we are behind our keyboards. The guests today are BC Club members Adrian and Tierney, who were defending BC and also Stacey Midge who was a vocal opponent to BC's platform.

Many Atheists, Agnostics, and Christians, despite their stark differences, have the common ingredient of being “Ex-Evangelical.” Within the faith of Christianity, the scales have been tipped (credit the November 2016 Presidential Election) to cause a large sect of Christianity to bow out of evangelicalism. How important is it for this movement to grow? Self-identified nerd and Ph.D. in Russian history (Stanford), Christopher Stroop is an Ex-Evangelical and started the movement #EmptyThePews. He is a compelling voice for evangelicalism to pack its bag and go the hell back to where it came from. Matt’s eccentric personality is reflected in his parenting as he shares a story on his refusal to allow his daughter to comply.

Is he a victim? Either way, we wish him well, and truly feel bad for what he is going through. Toby can't stop eating Halloween candy, but wonders if Halloween traditions will go away soon.

Cops escorted Pastor and author Jonathan Martin off the Liberty University campus during a JOHNNYSWIM show while he was hanging with his friends in the greenroom. He was banned for life from Liberty University for planning a prayer meeting and opposing Trump and Jerry Falwell Jr. What’s the condition of the church when opposing points of view aren’t even welcomed? What role does authoritarianism play in the church? Before any of this conversation starts, Matt and Toby dissect Joey’s current depressive state.

Movie director, Spencer T. Folmar, wants to use film to present the hope he’s found in Jesus. Many Christians aren’t buying his intentions however given the colorful language, including the monstrous “F word,” that’s replete through his films. We talk “constructive nudity,” “senseless violence,” “The Passion of Christ” and the potential of Christians making REAL movies.

Author and host of radio show and podcast “Unbelievable?” talks faith, atheism, and how the two groups misunderstand one another. He’s maintained an open mind to learn, and has had his faith stretched by some of these brilliant atheists, but still maintains his Christian faith. Justin, along with Matt, Toby, and Joey talk significantly about moral relativism. Toby realizes just how much he believes in Jesus; and oil leaks are always bad. . . unless it’s a bible.

Making what you believe clear is something that you'd think all churches would like, but apparently George Mekhail's "Church Clarity" project has stirred up some unrest among churches since they score a church's transparency on where they stand with LGBTQ issues. Joey claims the hashtag #thatsnotme after coming out as no longer Evangelical.

Shame, pain, and humiliation shouldn’t be words commonly used by women to describe sexual encounters. Teen girls shouldn’t feel obligated to return the favor by sexually fulfilling boys who take them out on a fun date. Labiaplasties (surgery of trimming the labia) shouldn’t be on the rise, but even that sex education class in middle school discusses “ejaculation and orgasms” for guys, but “risk and danger” for the ladies. Young girls are being cultured to forfeit pleasure, freedom, and confidence in the bedroom. Peggy Orenstein is trying to change these cultural attitudes towards, practices and expectations for women and sex.

Matt’s logical brain was discombobulated by a synergistic experience he had this weekend at a Kings Kaleidoscope show which made him realize there might be more to this human experience than can be emulated by AI despite having tried VR for the first time just two days prior. Toby takes Matt’s explanation of reality farther than most would, but reveals the inevitable generational gap where “back in the day” will mean when physical vacations and relationships were primary over VR and pod life.

Despite his conservative upbringing, Brandan Robertson’s first book deal was canceled due to him being vocal about affirming LGBTQ after studying the topic intensively for two years. He eventually came out as bisexual himself, and has become an influential writer for TIME Magazine, Huffington Post, NBC, as well as the author of multiple books on sexuality. Also on this episode, we talk Harvey Weinstein, sexual favors for gain, and Matt’s theory on a future “celebrity death boom.”

Toxic masculinity, good and healthy masculinity, men and women's ministries; do we pigeonhole folks to a certain brand of masculinity and femininity? Can this be harmful? One thing is for sure, thinking through all of this is much more complex than we give it credit for. Toby ends things with a “things that make me mad list,” including his laments on not being able to let out “sad farts."

There's no need to go to the Bible for an explanation on fossil records or insight on cancer research. It's equally pointless turning to science for data on how to solve your moral dilemmas. Jim Stump, Senior Editor at Biologos and author of "Science and Christianity: An Introduction to the Issues," invites the church to see the harmony between science and biblical faith as he and his organization present an evolutionary understanding of God’s creation. Matt, Toby, and Joey discuss Cam Newton’s (QB, Carolina Panthers) sexist remarks to a female reporter, and Matt explains his unique theory on the real problem behind mass shootings; and it has nothing to do with guns.

With the shooting in Las Vegas, it seemed weird to be “business as usual,” advertising products, laughing, cutting jokes, but isn’t laughing good for the soul? We share some jokes in which we’ve taken things too far, talk about Matt Chandler’s decision to only pastor one church with one location, reflect on Trump’s presidency in times like these and brag on (once again) Seacoast Church.

There’s a lot of movement in Christianity and it's not always movement away from belief in Jesus, but rather the extraneous practices, beliefs and approaches to life that over time have become synonymous with Christianity. Maybe those Christians who stand up and say "Not anymore! We won’t be known for this!" are post-Christians? We also discover the apple not falling far from the tree in the Svendsen household: Joey’s son has a penis marveling moment, and his daughter feels unreal guilt. Plus The Damn News is back with a story about a generous hero of ours and MALE sex robots.

Chris Date of the Rethinking Hell Podcast is a very conservative Christian who's a masterful debater and theologian making such a convincing case against the traditional view of hell (in which people are eternally and consciously tormented) that even Joey's starting to believe him. As a biblical inerrantist, he claims the bible teaches annihilationism. In other talk, Matt, Toby, and Joey discuss the senselessness of all the NFL kneeling, non-kneeling, stay in the locker room, link arms hoop-lah.

There’s a bible secreting oil, which you can access for free to receive healing, and Joey was offered some. Do some people have an anointing or are they just good at what they do? On tour last week, Toby, Matt, and the rest of the Emery clan took a stab at stand-up comedy, and Toby objectified women in Buc-ee's on his way to the True Man Experience, where he talks to men about masculinity.

As Cities Burn and Jonezetta's artist manager Ryan Rado gets real about Tourette's. It may have been awkward for him to uncontrollably shout "God Damn!" to an audience at a Christian music festival; and flipping people off uncontrollably does indeed put some one in a certain box, but Ryan, who still struggles with this disorder, has come out on top. Hear about his relationship with Jesus, his assessment on logic and self-analysis being equally important as compassion and empathy, and his newly found passion for painting.

God’s omniscience and omnipotence are such common doctrines, we forget there are sincere Christians who don't believe in either. Open theology teaches that true human freewill and God’s foreknowledge of the future is incompatible. Thomas Oord, leading theologian in this doctrine, explains the peace he has knowing that evil exists because God can’t stop it. We also listen to and dissect Joel Osteen's response to the whole "our doors were closed until you asked us to open them" fiasco.

Do Christians have “senseless faith,” holding on to beliefs that are not only insignificant but also illogical? Churches position themselves not for Christians but only for a certain type of Christian. This is tragic when true believing skeptics can’t have a community to fellowship with. Toby brings some sad news on Chuck E. Cheese and Joey admits to paying $600 for a pet cat.

We talk to Chris Heuertz, best-selling author of "The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth" partially just to find out if this enneagram stuff is legit or not. We discuss whether it was created by humans as a tool for understanding, or is innate to a deeper spiritual truth of how we're created. Matt shares some BC Music news, and Joey witnesses the potential animalistic tendencies of humans when he waited in line for sandbags in preparing for the approaching hurricane.

Joel Osteen, wealthy pastor in Houston, drags his feet on serving others, but is there more to the story? Should he be given the benefit of the doubt? Speaking of pastors and churches, it’s uncanny, the tax benefits received by their likes. Should Pastor Joey feel a bit guilty? Lastly, Nate Henry and Sherwood are going on tour and Nate finds common ground with Joey’s gravitation towards conspiracies including moon landing, 911, JFK assassination, and Big Foot.

It's called the Nashville Statement. It's when church leaders’ desire to make a public stance on human sexuality comes to a head and many pastors sign a statement to make sure every one knows exactly where they stand on others' sexuality. But many are asking, why the focus on gay people? Why the need to draw a line? All this makes us wonder what Jesus would do in today's church culture, and why these folks didn't repent on behalf of the church’s mistreatment of the LGBTQ community.

They have a new album coming out, so he joined us today and we talk about the album and working for NASCAR. A few episodes back, Toby was tasked with writing a hit worship song, and the task is officially completed with today's release of the fully produced single "Forever Rain" that's steadily climbing the charts on iTunes!

Fallen pastors seem to want to reclaim the stage as quickly as possible. Could it be that being a Mega Church Pastor is the primary catalyst for pastors’ “moral failures?” What is it that motivates pastors like Perry Noble to start a new church? Is it an addiction? It’s also back to school time so all the Christian kids are back on the mission field to keep classmates out of hell, and lastly, we had a guest whose husband went 7 years without masturbating and some of our listeners were utterly pissed.

Influential blogger and writer, Jory Micah was fired from her college teaching job for as a result of her controversial feminist views. She is angered by the church’s discrimination against female leadership and how that prevents many from being who God has made them to be. She also doesn’t believe in a marital submission that is unique to wives. Potentially even more interesting is her celebration of gender uniqueness. Men and women both have strengths and weaknesses that are typically common for their gender. This feminist may just piss off the feminists. Matt introduces an invention that could save the lives of many kids, and Toby brings a news story that supports Matt’s assessment of McDonalds.

After the untimely death and suicide of Chester Bennington, people’s hearts were grieved, but added to their sadness, came anger and accusations of cowardice. Matt MacDonald (The Classic Crime, Vocal Few) was in this camp, and took heat for some cold comments made on social media. Him and Levi the Poet, who lost his dad to suicide, talk all this through as we delve into the devastating act of suicide. Before that, Matt shares the benefits of what could be called “butt-dial therapy,” and Toby is taking his True Man Experience to Texas!
