Subscribe here to keep up with all things "Pastor With No Answers" as well as a new digital family we'd love to have you a part of. You don't have to be alone in your spiritual questions and you don't have to play by society's "new standard" of taking sides and being polarized. Join us!Ellen, Jack and Joey kick things off with a conversation about speaking in tongues. Joey thinks he speaks in tongues and is just fine with not being sure. Derek Webb has raised the eyebrows of many Evangelical Christians through the years, many of them huge fans of his prolific (former) Christian band, “Caedmon’s Call.” We’ve seen this a hundred times. One of our “Christian heroes” starts to express doubt and maybe makes a controversial statement every now and then; next thing we know, our hero has deconstructed his faith, gotten a divorce and probably behind the scenes, tortures little kittens. Only Derek knows the ends and outs of his story, but on this episode, he invites us in to hear about it too. This includes his journey that landed him into this new space of re-investigating his faith. Derek now works at a church and is married to a singer and musician of a worship band. And he's traded in "beliefs" for hypotheses. Joey takes this opportunity to put Jack Hoey on the spot to share with Derek the season of time in which Derek, Mark Driscoll and Rob Bell were the three main faces on Jack’s “Mount Rushmore" of Christian influencers. Derek is one hell of a dude and is writing a new album, “The Jesus Hypothesis,” in which he’s reconsidering the possible implications of Jesus’ life, teachings and resurrection.
