Elliott Cherry, the Pastor of Dadville, returns for an insightful chat packed with wisdom. He dives into the significance of forgiveness in marriage and shares the lesser-known "Q-Tip" method for healthier relationships. Elliott discusses how corporate worship offers a grounding experience in a chaotic world. The conversation blends humor and heartfelt advice, highlighting the balance between church attendance and personal connections while navigating the complexities of family and faith.

Get ready for a wild ride as we chat with Brett Swayn, a chef from Perth, Australia, whose life journey is anything but ordinary. You'll discover how his profound spiritual experiences included feeling God playfully call him "dummy" and being "absolutely smashed in the spirit." Hear about his less-than-glamorous arrival in Nashville via a Greyhound bus with a broken toilet, his ingenious method of using peeled 'loves' as earplugs in the mission, and why his ideal job involves "red boots and a cape." From getting hilariously lost on the way to Green Hills to surprising dignitaries with his famous fish tacos, Brett’s story is a testament to faith, resilience, and a wonderfully weird sense of humor.

Dig coffee and vinyl? Help us out by taking this very short survey for a chance to win both! The fellas finally wrangled Charles Kelley! We kicked things off with his legendary brag sheet—apparently, they stopped counting at 80 bullet points! As one-third of Grammy-winning country trio Lady A, you definitely know "Need You Now" (and so does AC radio, judging by how often Charles hears it instead of his own new solo single). But it's not all chart-toppers! We delve into Charles's unique vocal warm-ups (it basically involves singing that song's intro), his declaration that he's "accomplished everything" he needed to with drinking, and how a surprisingly romantic night led to a surprise baby number two (he hilariously takes the blame!). Plus, that "not a big deal" band name change? Turns out, it was quite the story. Sign up for our action-packed newsletter: http://dadville.substack.com Thanks to our sponsors!

The fellas are back from vacation and have lots to catch up on! Jon recently returned from Europe. He bravely transformed into "vacation Jon," embracing the holiday spirit by not stressing about money and being ready to spend "enchanted money," despite usually being more frugal. He even endured intense cycling in Mallorca and had a run-in (kinda) with Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Dave took his own family to Trail West, a Young Life camp in Buena Vista Colorado, describing it as a resort experience focused on family bonding, conveniently without televisions in the rooms. They also delved into their kids' music tastes. Dave, ever the music enthusiast, admitted to running a "regime" in his car, making his kids listen to '90s R&B and hip-hop. He uses these car rides as teaching moments for music history. They also dive deep on getting your teenager their first phone. Join us: ⁠http://dadville.substack.com⁠ Thanks to our sponsors!

He highlights the paradox of constraints in creativity and emphasizes the influential role of parenthood in shaping artistic expression.
