It’s finally HERE!!!! Season 2 of the Music City Series! Y’all! We can’t even believe the talent and the wisdom and the hope and brilliance of every single guest. Between the artists, songwriters and musicians we interviewed, there were more Grammy’s, Dove Awards and number one hit singles than we could count. We had conversations about songwriting with Taylor Swift, touring with Adele, performing for the President, meeting Dolly Parton, being complimented by Paul McCartney, sharing the stage with CeCe Winans, selling out arenas, and swimming in Waylon Jenning’s swimming pool, just to name a few. 
We talked about the joys and challenges of parenting kids in different stages, introducing kids to music, and folding worship in to the family. You don’t want to miss these fantastic conversations with fascinating friends. We’d love to know who you’re hoping (or guessing from the description) might be a part of Season 2!

It is a true gift every time our lives get to intersect with the delight that are Dave and Ann Wilson. We’ve had the privilege of being on their podcast through Family Life Today several times, but FINALLY got to have them on ours AND bring them to the Daystar house! We love these two people—their vulnerability, transparency, humor and the hope they bring to us all. Thank you, Jesus, for the difference Dave and Ann are making in this world and to us. We can’t wait for you to listen—we know you’ll love them just as much as we do!

Episode 188: Vulnerability in Marriage and Parenting with Dave and Ann Wilson

We wish there had been a camera in the car when our amazing friend and publicist Jana Muntsinger emailed to tell us Anne Lamott had said yes to being on our podcast. We lost our minds—literally, you guys. We were both screaming, “Are you kidding me?!” over and over in the car! We still can’t believe it. If you’re unfamiliar with Anne Lamott, buckle up—she is one feisty, wise, brilliant, spitfire of a human being. She might be a new (a little out of the box) voice for you, but she’s one we value deeply for the grace and humanity she brings to this world. She is a voice we quote often—in fact, if you listen to the first few minutes, we both read so many of our favorites. It is a joy to share with you one of our heroes in so many ways.

How many of you are nervous about teens and screens this summer? Well, we have we got the podcast for you!  We’re so grateful for the wisdom and leadership of Dr. Darren and Brandy Whitehead, from Church of the City, in our community! They are changing lives in so many ways every single day! In this episode, we talk about taking a Digital Fast for the summer—what that looks like and how to get your kids on board. AND, we talk about the importance of fostering…the difference it makes in the life of a child and the difference you can make today!

Episode 186: Parenting in a Digital Age and the Importance of Foster Care with Dr. Darren & Brandy Whitehead

Did you ever try to be a Star for Jesus at some point along your faith journey? Do you still struggle sometimes unknowingly to be? (Hello, any fellow perfectionist’s/first born’s/Enneagram 1’s or 3’s or so many other numbers!) 
Well, let us introduce you to Kimberly Stuart, podcaster, writer and author of the book Star for Jesus (and other jobs I quit). And we should also add dear friend to us both! You are going to LOVE this episode. 
Kimberly exudes grace. She’s deeply kind. And she’s HILARIOUS!!!! We both enjoyed this conversation immensely and know you will, too! Get yourself a copy of the book, download her podcasts For Real with Kimberly Stuart and The Writing Room with Kimberly and Bob Goff—and no, he’s not related to Sissy.
