This week on N2M I talk with JP Parker about the life, times and trials of a Tour Manager. With 25 years of international touring experience, 5 gold records and 2 Grammy Awards, Jonathan JP Parker has had a thriving career in the music business.  Working with such bands as Wilco, The Fray, Liz Phair and Brandi Carlile just to name a few,  he has enjoyed success in both the studio and on the road.  Currently JP enjoys raising his family, leading worship and producing Christian music and voice overs at his recording studio 7 Spin Music nestled quietly in the suburbs of Chicago. So sit back, buckle up and adjust the rearview you are listening to Nashville to Memphis.

 This week on N2M we dive into marriage. Summer and I talk with Seth and Melanie Studley of the Anatomy of Marriage Podcast and https://anatomyofmarriage.com/. We cover subjects ranging from being married and on the road; family of origin, and just plain dysfunction.

Please check out Seth and Melanie’s podcast, in my opinion it is the best podcast on marriage out there.

This week I talk with my old classmate, Dr. Tim Drinkwine. Tim spent years as an educator, administrator and leader and then….and then…he had a Jerry McGuire moment and left it all. Tim and his family literally packed up, quit their jobs and travelled the world as a family. Tim and I sit down and talk about this journey, what lead up to it, what was gained, was anything lost, and how it changed him. You can find out more about Tim’s journey at https://www.drinkwinetogether.com/ . So sit back, buckle up and adjust the rearview you are listening to Nashville to Memphis.

This week on N2M I pull my first repeat guest from season 1 and called my old friend Bret Nicholson. Bret is the head Pastor of One Life Network. One Life is a network of church plants. One Life also recently launched its own podcast. 

Bret has 3 kids, one grand baby and a saint as a wife. A bass player, Beatles fan, CS Lewis aficionado and really deep thinking dude. Bret and I dive deep into a subject not often spoken about - death, the fear of it, the reality of it and why we as a modern society are so ill equipped to deal with it when it inevitably happens. So sit back, buckle up and adjust the rearview you are listening to Nashville to Memphis.
