Episode 20 of “Not Your Average Joel” is now out! I had a great time learning a lot from my guest Tony Timberlake on the topic of real estate. We spoke about the process of getting a new house, the stressful moments that happen during the process, the bidding wars that happens, and I even got to learn some real estate terminology! I didn’t do as much talking because I don’t know much about real estate yet I was willing to learn about this topic which is why I decided to do an episode on it. I was taking in everything that Tony was telling me and it was very informative and helpful for whenever I have the opportunity to buy a home on my own. I hope y’all enjoy this episode!

Episode 18 of “Not Your Average Joel” is now out! I had the opportunity to talk to my good friend Caitlyn Lightsey and continuing on our topic of Things that Christians Do That Can Be Debatable. On this episode we talked about Christians and whether or not we should interfere with things like yoga, zodiac signs, horoscopes, tarok cards, and fortune tellers. I can see this topic being a little controversial so before anybody comments with anything negative be sure to listen to the whole video. Part 1 is episode 11 if y’all want to check that out. Hope y’all enjoy!

Episode 17 of “Not Your Average Joel” is now out! I had an amazing opportunity to talk to my good friend Justin Barrier on the topic of “Life and Death Situations.” The reason why we talked about this is because Justin is a 911 Operator and he got to share with me his perspective of what his job entails, how those hard calls can affect him whether he’s at work or not, how to handle to hard call, and the importance of PTSD within this job. I learned so much from my talk with Justin. The victims are most definitely going through a hard time but the call that victim makes can also affect the 911 Operator that answers the call, the Police Officer/Firefighter that sees something traumatic before their eyes and that PTSD can be very common within their jobs. Shoutout to our Police Officers, Fire Fighters, 911 Dispatchers, EMS, paramedics, nurses, doctors, and even our Military that take on life and death situations. I hope y’all enjoy!

Episode 16 of “Not Your Average Joel” is now out! This is a vacation edition as we are in Panama City Beach and I got to talk to some of my family members on the topic of honesty. During this episode we spoke about the story of Rahab from the Bible and whether she was rewarded for lying to save the two spies in Jericho. We also spoke about what the Bible says about lying, whether there is such a thing as being too honest, is a a half truth still a lie, if lying is just as bad as other sins, if a “little white lie” is just as bad as a “normal lie”, and whether you lose complete trust in someone lying/betraying you, and of course the importance of being honest. Thank you to my six guests that came on for this episode: Melissa Hampton, Matt Vance, Joseph Vance, Megan Vance, Jared Vance, Austin Sartain. I hope y’all enjoy this episode and learn something about honesty.
