I am starting a new series on the podcast around racism in America.
I recently watched the documentary on Netflix - When They See Us - and was moved to start a conversation and be better educated on what it is like being black in America. The series will include me having a conversation with different black people, hearing their stories and experiences, and talking about hidden or unconscious biases we as white people might have.
Racism is a problem and we need to confront in. Hard conversations need to be had and people need to be heard. Join the conversation and LISTEN. Listen to the stories and experiences and be made aware of ways you may be racist without even knowing it.

Remy is the next big thing. I found her while I was scrolling through instagram. I clicked on her page, learned she was connected to Kirk Thurmond and immediately reached out to her.

She writes her own music; she can sing; and her song '26' is my favorite.

The nicest, most generous guy I know.
I found Andrew (A.J.) on Instagram scrolling through photos of NeedToBreathe. There was this picture of Bear, the lead singer, with a sweet graphic over the top, so I clicked on the picture, and then I clicked on Andrew's Instagram name (aj_godfrey)and saw that he lives in Abilene and that a lot of my friends know him/follow him. So I followed him and then reached out to him to have him on the podcast.
Jeff and I made the day trip to Abilene a few weeks ago and hung out with Andrew and looked around the city of Abilene. Andrew is literally the nicest, most generous guy I know. He took us all over Abilene, got us some coffee, some pizza for lunch, drove us around and everything.
Andrew is the Worship Pastor at Radiant Life Church in Abilene. He grew up in Dallas, went to ACU for college and is now committed to Abilene. He is also a Graphic Designer. He is talented, creative, generous, welcoming, and an all around great dude. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

I have been jamming to their music ever since. www.ktammusic.com
So I reached out to Kirk to get him on the podcast and he graciously accepted. We met up at Fiction Coffee and talked all about his music career; how he got started, how he found his sound, the struggles he's been through, his creative process, everything.

Jeremy and I grabbed coffee a few weeks ago and had a great conversation about christians and nonviolence. I wanted to bring Jeremy on the podcast and basically have that conversation again. Jeremy does a great job explaining what Jesus said and meant while He was on earth, and he does it with such grace and truth. I was encouraged, challenged, and convicted during our conversation, and I hope you are too.
We drank some really good coffee from Peixoto Coffee in Chandler, Arizona. They are one of my favorite roasters. I ordered their Familia Peixoto roast and they threw in a free sample of their Peixoto Honey roast and that is what we went with. The Honey roast one is phenomena. The Familia roast is very good too, but I highly recommend the Peixoto Honey roast.

What can be said about Ed Bonneau. He is one of my heroes. He is one of the Godliest men I know. He loves his wife and his family. He loves life. I want to be half the man he is. Ed started his own sunglass company a few years into the beginning of his career and it took off. Ed is the most generous person I know, and always makes you feel like you are the most important person in the room. This episode is a GOOD one. You will love Ed!
We talk about his small beginnings to everything he has learned in his 80 years of life. What a man. What a story.
We drank Edison Coffee during this episode. Edison Coffee has two locations, one in Flower Mound and one in Highland Village. I think they have great pour overs. They just came out with some new roasts and so I really wanted to try one. We went with their Ethiopian Yukro roast, and it had very strong Black Tea notes. It was good, but if you don't like black tea, don't go for that one. Edison Coffee has great shops, quality coffee, great baristas, and a great place to get work done or just hang out.

They live in Houston and have 3 children, and since I lived with them for a semester, I consider myself their fourth child. They have poured into my life and into mine and Olivia's relationship from the very beginning.
We met at BeSpoke, an Artisan Outpost in The Heights in Houston, and drank Homebird Coffee. Be sure to check out both of these companies because they are phenomenal.

I enjoy talking to people. Megan enjoys talking to people. So to say we had a great conversation is an understatement. Megan is a wife, a mom of 4, and owner of a photography business. Her dream of always wanting to be on a podcast came true this week. She is incredible, and I adore the Thurman family. Her daughter was actually the flower girl in mine and Olivia's wedding. I love Megan, and I know you will too after hearing this conversation.
We met at BeSpoke in Houston, Texas, and drank Homebird Coffee and had a wonderful conversation. We talked about getting married young, making friends, and our love for The Greatest Showman.
BeSpoke is an Artisan Outpost in The Heights in Houston, Texas. It is the coolest shop ever. Andy and Morgan are the founders, and they are some of the nicest, most genuine people ever. Their store is full of leather bags and backpacks, handmade jewelry, clothing, candles, coffee mugs, and much more. You need to experience it for yourself. You can visit them in store or online (www.bespokehtx.com).
HOMEBIRD COFFEE CO. provided the coffee. Homebird Coffee Co. sets up in BeSpoke every Saturday from 10-6. Jonny, the best barista on the planet, pulled some great shots of espresso and made some incredible pour overs. Homebird is serving Amaya Coffee, a roasting company in Houston. I had the best cappuccino, iced Americano, and Japanese Pour Over I have ever had, and I am proud to say my friend, Jonny, made all three of them.
Go to BeSpoke and drink some Hombird Coffee while you shop around.

He is the Campus Minister at The Branch Church - Farmers Branch Campus, and is also a practicing lawyer. What you won't find on his resume is that he is easily the funniest person to talk to. I laugh at everything he says.
We talked about everything from balancing a busy life to what he has learned in his 56 years of living!
