Summary

You guys! Two episodes in one week? I'm so excited to be able to bring you double the teachings, interviews and information for the curious! Today I'm sitting down with breakout country singer Walker Hayes and we talk about everything to how he writes songs, his journey to faith and trying to find his way as a musician as a father of six kids! -- Have you heard about the HOTLINE yet? Call (737) 400-HOCO, and press 1 to leave a question for Rach. Press 2 to share your story about the Hollis Company - it can be about your Start Today Journal, attending a RISE conference, coaching, or anything you want! We can't wait to hear from you ;) RISE Women’s Conference is about taking full ownership of your life and the woman you want to become. This is not an experience for you to transform into someone else, this is three full days of immersion to remind yourself how special you already are! At RISE we don’t believe there’s one right way to be a woman, we believe in women being as diverse and original as possible. Each and every one of us has incredible talent and skills — our own unique potential to offer the world — but as little girls, we’re taught to conform, be small, fit into someone else’s ideal of what a “good girl” is. RISE is about redefining the best version of yourself and creating a roadmap to help you become her. Get your tickets here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hi, I'm Rachel Hollis and this is my podcast. I spend so many hours of every single week reading and listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos and trying to find out as much as I can about the world around me.

0:54.4

This is information for the curious. This is the Rachel Hollis podcast.

1:26.4

Can I ask you, are you it says I read your site said books for miles? Do you just write tons of books?

1:40.4

I have nine published books. Damn, I've written like 13. Yeah, so so writings my jam. That's crazy. That's what I do.

1:51.4

I'm working on the book now and I have when you say nine that just like my mind explodes at the thought of it's a lie.

2:00.4

I'm out of content. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just what what are you writing about? So I don't know if you've heard a song of mine called Craig.

2:09.4

I don't think so. It's about this guy. He and I met at this church. It's a long story, but we met at this church that I didn't want to be at about six years ago. I was not a not a believer.

2:22.4

My wife dragged me there. I was drunk when I went there on a Saturday. Wow. I was I'm six years sober. And but I wasn't sober when I met Craig and I walked in this church and just he just was like,

2:38.4

Hey, I'm glad you're here. And but it's weird. He said I'm glad you're here, but I knew he knew where I was and like, like I knew I smelled like alcohol and I he knew that I did not want to be there.

2:49.4

And my wife and I were pregnant with our fifth kid. We had one car. I was working at Costco stocking produce and playing shows every night and I just was a zombie.

3:01.4

And he and his wife, I mean, they just loved on us. I'm talking about doors wide open.

3:08.4

Weren't like, how do your kids from this gross guy? Like he says bad words. He's always drinking. You know, they didn't care. They just opened their house to us.

3:30.4

I'm going to help you. Somebody did this for me once. Can I do this for you? And so anyway, he eventually like we I drove home. I was super proud. I didn't want to take it.

3:41.4

I was I was I was so ashamed to need that that much help. And then I knew by taking the car that meant that just confessed I needed help, you know, which is.

3:53.4

I guess that's that's been a hard thing for me with faith and Christ to begin with is you got to get on your knees and say, I can't do it. And I don't know why that's so hard for a man like me.

4:06.4

But anyway, I took the car and as I drove our kids home, I they were safe. They didn't have to duck. You know, when car when a cop drove by or anything. And I always wanted to thank him.
