Ellie Holcomb joins Ginny to trace a clear line from her childhood on the Little Harpeth River to the music, books, and family life she’s building today. She shares how stepping off the tour bus to raise a newborn opened a new creative path—writing Scripture into song during a friend’s battle with depression, which grew into her devotional Fighting Words, a new record (Far Country), and children’s books that invite families to notice what creation is already saying.
Together they explore themes parents will recognize: finding hope in hard seasons, letting kids meet the world outside, and remembering what’s true when life feels uncertain. Ellie talks about the images that keep her steady—salt flats reflecting the sky, constellations overhead, a river in winter—and why sometimes you “go dark to see.” It’s a grounded, practical conversation about faith, nature, and raising kids who know they belong.
