Tour is an animal that brings you joy and fulfilment but also makes men in their 40s feel like men in their 40s. Whats the longest amount of time you’ve been away from home over the course of a year?

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. https://link.chtbl.com/underoath --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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.  Become a Knuckle Breaker at KnuckleBreakers.co Subscribe to the Knuckle Breakers Youtube and don't miss the release of Rub Some Dirt On It, Emery's new album, next Tuesday, November 23rd! https://www.youtube.com/c/knucklebreakers Get tickets to the Knuckle Breaker Bash in Kansas City on December 10th! https://bit.ly/2YUiU3P Grab your ticket to Emery's Songs and Stories show in STL on December 9th! https://bit.ly/30wF6lA Be the best gift giver this Christmas by giving a custom Emery song! https://bit.ly/3ozW7Do Start your Black Friday shopping early at Marriage Supply!  Get a free vibrating cock ring with any order over $20! https://bit.ly/3qL4pek --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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.   Register for the Knuckle Breaker Challenge now! http://www.knucklebreakerchallenge.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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.

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.     Links & Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com Marriage Supply: marriagesupply.com use code BCPOD for 10% off Emeryland: emerymusic.com/emeryland Ziprecruiter.com/badchristian Phineas - the fire itself --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

How quickly will people give up their rights for safety? Would you let a chip be implanted in your body that stopped all theft and maybe crime in general?  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.

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   Links & Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com Marriage Supply: use code BCPOD for 10% off Stamps: stamps.com code BADCHRISTIAN Policy Genius: policygenius.com Tooth & Nail: "The Path" by Fit For A King Check out Emery's new album "White Line Fever" at emerymusic.com Pre-Order "I'm Only A Man" Update on vinyl: emerymusic.com/ioam Join Emeryland: emerymusic.com Are You Listening: A Streamo Show: areyoulistening.tv --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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?   Links & Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com Pre-Order Emery's new album "White Line Fever" at emerymusic.com Brooklinen: brooklinen.com code BADCHRISTIAN Tooth & Nail Records: Tigerwine "Black Water" Join Emeryland: emerymusic.com Are You Listening: A Streamo Show: areyoulistening.tv Marriage Supply --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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.   Links & Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com Join Emeryland: emerymusic.com Are You Listening: A Streamo Show: emerymusic.com/areyoulistening Stamps.com: stamps.com code BADCHRISTIAN Marriage Supply --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

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.

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.

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.

Sex is either treated as overly-sacred or overly-vile.  This influences how parents manage nudity in their household amongst family members and how “private parts” are treated and discussed.  Would society benefit from everyone just chilling out a bit?  If nudity wasn’t so taboo, would people’s sexuality benefit?

George Mekhail, gay affirming Pastor, wrote a letter to mega church Pastor Judah Smith, (City Church, Seattle) asking for clarification on his ambiguous statement about church inclusion during a sermon.  "Is City Church gay-affirming" George writes Judah Smith. "Will City Church affirm, baptize and marry gay people?"  No answer after a few months. During this episode, George Mekhail highlights the importance of churches being clear on where they stand with gay inclusion, while Matt, Toby and Joey take this episode to try and practice that same level of clarity.

Steven Furtick and Elevation Church is at it again, raising some eye brows with something fishy.  Maybe it's nothing but just in general, why are celebrities and politicians fair game for scrutiny amongst Christians but Pastors are off limits? Lastly, is the BadChristian Podcast and similar forms of media/entertainment becoming more legitimized as sources of information in the church? Because a Christian journalism outfit took information from Matt's podcast (Break it Down) and didn't even name him as a source!

Mark Driscoll isn’t the only one that should be speaking for the once flourishing church community Mars Hill in Seattle, Washington. So let’s start with Jen Smidt, who alongside her husband invested their time, energy, and hearts into former Mars Hill Church, once led by Pastor Mark Driscoll. They actually brought the first Mars Hill baby into the world and maintained significant roles in curriculum writing, counseling, general Mars Hill media and were in high levels of leadership. Jen tells the story of rich community they found and helped establish at Mars Hill, her and her husband’s relationship and interactions with the Driscoll family, and the eventual heartbreak and unhealthy manner of it all ending.

So there’s a new solar system eh?  Doesn’t matter if we can never get to it.  Or can we?  Matt has some numbers and theories that will leave your head shaking.  And in the Damn News, white woman claims to identify as a black woman:  It’s called “trans-black.”   Sponsors and Links: Seeso - http://seeso.com/ - promo code “BADCHRISTIAN” at checkout Casper - http://casper.com/BCPOD - promo code “BCPOD” at checkout Lyft - http://lyft.com/ - promo code “BADCHRISTIAN" Emery on Tour - http://emerymusic.com/ Join the BC Club - http://thebcclub.com/   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

Having lost his mother in October, our best friend Devin Shelton adds profound insight to our reflections on last weeks untimely loss of his Matt’s mother. Death really makes you think deeply about life and draws out appreciation for things we normally take for granted. Joey doesn’t know when to stop his stupid jokes and parenting is full of literal shit. And in the Damn News, an old lady literally molds to her chair. And we ask if it is disrespectful, dishonoring or even evil to pay top dollar for the phone that Hitler used to sentence millions of Jews to death?

Suicidal thoughts, spousal assault, hiding guns?! And they stayed together?! Hear why they stuck it out and get more insight on possibly the most important, “need to be heard" marriage podcasts out there. And on The Damn News, some whiny teen laments about her unfortunate turn of events when she won the lottery. And lastly, but certainly not least, every one pays a little tribute to Jenny Carter, Matt’s mother who passed away a week ago.   Sponsors and Links: Trackr - http://thetracker.com/ - promo code BADCHRISTIAN Blue Apron - http://blueapron.com/BADCHRISTIAN DSTLD Jeans - http://dstld.com/BADCHRISTIAN Emery on Tour - http://emerymusic.com Join the BC Club - http://thebcclub.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

Joey’s daughter Gwenny stops in for a bit to talk with her dad’s two buddies. Then, Toby and Matt get on their simulation theory kick.

Why the hell is Perry Noble preaching again? Why does Steven Furtick get to call the shot on this one? We love Pastor Perry Noble, a Pastor who was recently removed as a result of some struggles including alcohol addiction. These issues were revealed not even a year ago and Pastor Steven Furtick, this past Sunday, had him as a guest preacher at Elevation Church. This makes for a podcast episode full of questions, yelling, frustrations, Toby rants, introspection, cutting up, inappropriate jokes, anger, and sympathy for Perry Noble. In other words what else is new? But seriously, why would people push him back to the very thing that caused his problems?Why does the church need heroes? Is this all a joke? Are we as Christians in mega-church American church culture, a bunch of clowns?   Sponsors and Links: Casper - http://casper.com/BCPOD - use promo code BCPOD at checkout Lyft - http://lyft.com/ - use promo code “BADCHRISTIAN” at checkout Indochino - http://indochino.com/ - use promo code “BADCHRISTIAN” at checkout Join the BC Club - http://thebcclub.com/ Emery on Tour - http://emerymusic.com/ Fundamentalist Pastor Book on Kindle - https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentalist-Mentally-Obsessive-Compulsive-Legalistic-ebook/dp/B01N7W8PUP/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/songs-and-stories/support

We’re joined by the Chairman of the Libertarian Party, Nicholas Sarwark to talk about government responsibility and the current state of our country. Also in today’s episode, we try to get to the bottom of why Matt hasn’t been sick since 2008. It has something to do with not conceding anything to the enemy.

On this episode, she shares the family tragedy that started her quest to address dysfunction in the church.

Stephanie seems really harsh and aggressive on Twitter, but MAN is she nice! Hint, hint. This is part of her experiment.
