Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy podcast. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Hey friends and welcome to another episode of the happy hour with Jamie Ivy. I'm your host Jamie and we have a phenomenal show for you today.

But first, before we get there, I have three things to tell you. Hold with me. Number one, if you guys have been happy hour listeners for a long time, you know that my friend Amanda Brown who worked with me on this show for a long time.

You know her. You love her. Today's our 40th birthday. Head over to Instagram. Give her some love. Number two, my children's book God made you to be you comes out in two and a half weeks. I'm getting I'm literally so get it with excitement over this because this message is so important to me.

You can get this book wherever you buy books. It's a board book for ages two to six. Perfect gift for that little child in your life.

Number three, guys, have you checked out our YouTube channel? It's Jamie ivy.com slash YouTube. The cool thing about it is that when we do interviews, we put part of that interview up on YouTube. Sometimes it's exclusive content like it's not going to be on the podcast. You're just going to hear it there. For example, today I talked to Mike Todd about how to have a healthy church culture.

And that's only on YouTube. So you can go watch it there. Mike Todd. Oh, I just told you who our guest is Mike Todd's on the show today. I'm so excited. But last year Mike Todd was also on the show episode number three 12. If you want to go back and listen to that if you're a huge Michael Todd fan like I am.

But also last year we have some content over on YouTube with Mike Todd when we talk about fighting for freedom from pornography. Really great conversation and you can watch it over there as well. Okay, my guess I already told you the Michael Todd from Tulsa Oklahoma joins me today to talk about his new book.

Crazy faith. It's only crazy until it happens. This book releases next week on the 21st. You can preorder it now or get it when it comes out today on the show. Mike and I talk about what crazy faith actually is in crazy faith can feel scary sometimes and we talk about that.

We talk about how sometimes we want to walk in faith to get an outcome. But guys asking us to walk in faith for obedience. And we also talk about the importance of a sabbatical, which he just got off of earlier this month.

You guys are going to love this conversation that I have with my friend Mike Todd.

Mike Todd, welcome back to the happy hour. What's going on Jamie? I love you so much. And I am grateful to be here with you and everybody that's having happy hours right now.

This is great. And let me just say you were with me a year ago in August of 2020. So I think at this rate, we're just going to have a yearly happy hour. It's every year. I'm going to demand the next time Natalie shows up. It's all I got to say. Okay, we can make that happen. She would be happy to do that.

Give her a little bit of time away from all the babies. Also, since we talk last congratulations.

Thank you so much. I have another bundle of joy that I gave every name I could think of that I like to her name is Gia Joy Simone Hope Todd. And it's all the thing that is her name on the birth certificate.

On the birth certificate because this is the finale for us. It is over. And the Todd squad is complete. So we're really she's three months and she's just squishy. I love her.

That squad is complete. And this seems like it'd be TMI except for you told the world this. You're so complete. Like you got the sex meat. You're done. I'm out of here. We've done.

It would be a macular conception for there to be another Todd squad member coming. And you know what? It's crazy faith season. So we opened for whatever. But

we're not going to be the finale of crazy faith. But you're not having that faith. You're not requesting that. No, no, no, no, we don't want to do that. Oh my gosh. You know, we have four kids as well. And when I got my two side, I told the doctor, I said, listen, if something were to happen, you we're going to do like a we got 50% here.

50% for this kid. You got a pay good to simply call like this is our kid. If someone happens, it's your fault. Yes. Yes. It's a three of us. Well, congratulations on all the things. And you have a book coming out next week, which I've had the privilege of get early crazy faith.

It's only crazy until it happens. You know, last time you were on the show last August, if anyone wants to go listen to episode three 12. You told the story about you going from, you know, taking over like being just a part of this church and your parents having this crazy faith.
