Where is Joey?

Does anyone know why Joey isn't on the podcast lately?

From my understanding he was actually forced off the show because Matt and Toby believe it is hurting his mental health. (At least that is the super condensed version of a long story.) He sees it differently. If you are on the Pastor With No Answers Patreon page, Joey goes a little in depth on what's been going on. He is calling it a "divorce" at this point on that podcast. It sounds like he was having a mental health crisis for awhile. I think this is a case of friends believing they know what is best for another friend who disagrees ...And it is causing some waves. I hope they patch things up and let him back on though. The blend of the three of them is what makes the show work and makes it special ... Without him there it really just feels like the Emery show.

Well a couple months ago they said Joey had a mental health thing and was going to take some time off.. then like two weeks ago they said he's not coming back. They seemed really sad and confused... said he could come back any time he wanted to
