There are few losses more profoundly personal than the loss of a child. Jordan Feliz and his wife suffered a traumatic miscarriage and he has made it his mission to normalize the experience so others can understand that they are not alone in their pain. Join us in the glamp tent and feel free to let your guard down and we share some tears and hope.

Hanging out at the glamp tent, Jason Gray divulges some of his parenting failures so don't have to make the same ones. The reality is, we all probably already have, but sharing the wisdom gleaned on the journey is one of the best parts of being in community. Settle in as we work our way through this special mini series, and join us for the third and final installment next time.

Straight from Summer's glamp tent at Lifest, we once again get to visit with Dave Frey from Sidewalk Prophets to catch up on what COVID, a growing child, and rediscovering life on the road has meant for his family. Kick back and relax, picture sunny skies and cold drinks, as we dive in for the first of a three-part mini series. Join us next time to hear from another amazing artist in the glamp tent.

Mike Donehey has been on a whirlwind ride over the last 18 months. Tenth Avenue North disbanded leaving him with a solo project, COVID kept him home from their farewell tour, and that time at home was lived in close confines with 4 pubescent daughters. Through all of that Mike saw God's grace and put even more intentionality into relating to his daughters as an empathetic and safe father. Not a man to shy away from doing necessary soul work, Mike shares with us lessons he has learned, sometimes the hard way, in parenting and marriage.

Matt Hein of the band I Am They has been driven like a boat in a storm during the pandemic- like so many of us. The unknown, the loss, the homeschooling… But when your world is rocked by grief and uncertainty, what is your responsibility to your children? How do you model strength? Is strength what you should be focused on modelling in those times? Matt shares his thoughts and gives permission to be you, whatever “you” might look like.

When the Bible tells us that we will be held accountable for every careless word that we speak, does that freak you out a little bit? Yeah, me too. Wordsmith extraordinaire, Danny Gokey, joins us to discuss the importance, impact, and power of our words and how yielding to the words that God has spoken over us changes everything. If you’ve mismanaged your words in the past, there’s hope; there’s always hope. Tune in and be encouraged.

In part 2 of our conversation on sexual assault, hope and practical help is offered to supporters. How do you respond if someone comes to you with news of sexual assault, how do you come back if you responded poorly in the past, how do you pre-emptively prepare before the conversation ever happens, and how do you handle the conversation if you are nursing your own wounds in this area? We explore these questions and so many more because there may never be a more applicable situation in which to ask, “no seriously, how do I do this?” than this one. Her recent book, “How to Respond When Someone Tells You About Sexual Assault,” was designed to be a practical resource for those who are approached with news of sexual assault and is available to No Seriously listeners at a 15% discount through Barnes & Noble with code: BNPSERIOUSLYHOW. The resource is also available through Amazon. You can learn more about Amanda and find access to additional resources at amandajrivers.com.
