Pastor With No Answers: The MIXTAPE Era

EP46 - Reconnecting With the Old Youth Group Crew. Still Got Faith, Anyone?

Joey Svendsen

[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]

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.
