    100 Episodes and We Did NOT Expect This

    🎉 100 EPISODES?! We're celebrating our 100th episode of the Jinger and Jeremy Podcast with a special look back at the moments, guests, and lessons that got us here! From our very first recording mishaps in our old house's storage room to the guests who completely surprised us, we're reminiscing on everything that's made this show what it is. In this episode, we play a few fun superlative games... most competitive guest, who we'd trust to babysit our kids, who we'd want with us during a zombie apocalypse and reflect on the conversations that turned into something more like therapy than a podcast. We talk about the guest who shocked us with how deeply their story resonated with listeners, revisit our episode with Dean McMahon, and look back on our chat with Olympic sprinter Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. Plus, a few behind-the-scenes confessions about our home decor (or lack thereof) and how this podcast almost didn't survive its first few recordings. Thank you for 100 episodes of laughs, hard conversations, and life with us.

    The Power of Being Bored | Shawn Johnson & Andrew East

    In this episode, Shawn and Andrew open up about life behind the highlight reel: the thousands of hours of grueling practice before Beijing, Andrew getting cut from NFL roster after roster and choosing to keep going anyway, and what it actually looks like to build a life of meaning when the world is constantly throwing new options, distractions, and noise at you. They get into the real stuff... parenting three kids with completely opposite personalities, navigating the chaos of mid-30s marriage, and the moment their Type-A daughter discovered rock climbing and transformed overnight. They talk about the nature vs. nurture debate playing out in real time as their four-year-old son races motocross and their two-year-old refuses to be tamed. Shawn pulls back the curtain on her Olympic mental training, including the little-known technique her coach used where she'd sit on each apparatus the day before competition and visualize five perfect routines in a row, and how reciting Newton's Law mid-backflip on a four-inch beam kept her brain too busy to be afraid. At the heart of it all is the message of their book: in an age of infinite scroll, swipe culture, and decision fatigue, commitment isn't a cage... it's the path to freedom. They argue that you don't wait for the best option to present itself. You choose a good one and make it the best. 00:00:00 - Podcast Introduction 00:01:18 - Guests Introduction 00:01:34 - Family and Parenting 00:01:47 - Discussing Kids' Personalities 00:02:34 - Parenting Challenges 00:07:50 - Discussing Kids' Interests 00:12:59 - Shawn's Gymnastics Career 00:14:06 - Andrew's Football Career 00:15:24 - Resilience and Mental Strength 00:17:19 - Discussing the Journey and Attitude 00:21:29 - Overcoming Rejection and the Role of Mentorship 00:22:28 - The Role of Failure in Success 00:23:35 - The Importance of Perseverance 00:25:58 - The Kip Story and Persistence 00:28:08 - Parenting and Encouraging Kids' Interests 00:30:00 - The Challenges and Rewards of Parenting 00:31:14 - Discussing Commitment in Sports 00:32:07 - Passion and Commitment 00:33:02 - Discussing Kids' Exposure to Various Activities 00:34:04 - Discipline and Priorities 00:34:07 - Physical Training and Spirituality 00:36:26 - Confidence Building in Kids 00:40:23 - 'The Courage to Commit' 00:40:35 - Commitment and Freedom 00:46:48 - Distractions and Depth of Knowledge 00:48:14 - The Role of Boredom and Failure in Passion 00:48:55 - Discussing the Importance of Beautiful Obsessions 00:51:21 - Discussing the Role of Gamification in Motivation 00:52:15 - Discussing Shawn's Mental Process during Olympics 00:56:10 - Discussing Mental Strength Training and Visualization 00:57:23 - Discussing the Role of Music in Difficult Situations 00:58:35 - Conclusion and Gratitude OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: POCKET HOSE: Upgrade your outdoor setup with the Pocket Hose, the world’s #1 expanding garden hose.

    Inside the Secret World of the Hutterites

    What happens when you grow up in a closed, communal community, speaking your own language, wearing homemade clothes, owning nothing, and needing permission just to leave for a dentist appointment? This week, Jinger and Jeremy sit down with their friend Michael Wurtz, who was raised inside a Hutterite colony in South Dakota and made a daring midnight escape at just 18 years old. Michael opens up about life inside one of America's most secretive communities, from colony politics and strict dress codes to shared bank accounts, no back pockets, and a world almost entirely cut off from the outside. He traces the Hutterites' fascinating roots in the Anabaptist Reformation, their migration through Ukraine and Ellis Island, and how a community built on Scripture slowly drifted from the gospel into control and conformity. But this isn't just a story of escape, it's a story of answered prayer, God's providence, and life on the other side of freedom. Michael shares the prayer he prayed three days before his brother-in-law called, the flashlight signal in the field at 11pm, and what it looked like to walk away from everything he'd ever known with just $20 in his front pocket. Today, Michael is a seminary graduate serving at his local church, a husband, and a father of two little girls and he calls himself the richest man alive. 00:00:47 - Introduction 00:02:35 - Michael's Background 00:08:16 - Hutterite Community Structure 00:14:01 - Understanding the Hutterite Language 00:16:04 - Education and Schooling in the Hutterite Community 00:17:30 - Music and Secrecy in the Hutterite Community 00:24:45 - Hutterite Community Politics 00:25:07 - Personal Experiences in the Hutterite Community 00:26:44 - Subculture and Side Hustles in the Hutterite Community 00:31:59 - Identity and Beliefs in the Hutterite Community 00:32:28 - Questioning the Hutterite Community 00:33:11 - Views on Non-Hutterites and Apostates 00:36:41 - Hutterite Community as a Cult 00:37:42 - Escaping the Hutterite Community 00:39:26 - Introduction to the Gospel 00:43:38 - Becoming a Believer and the Role of Radio 00:46:18 - Leaving the Hutterite Community 00:47:23 - Religious Pressure and Suppression in the Hutterite Community 00:49:31 - The Hidden Reality of Sin in the Hutterite Community 00:50:54 - Understanding the Gospel Outside the Hutterite Community 00:51:45 - Planning the Escape from the Hutterite Community 00:51:48 - The Night of the Escape 00:57:33 - Life After Leaving the Hutterite Community OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: PONCHO: This season, skip the guesswork and give him something he’ll actually wear.

    We REALLY Need a Break This Summer

    Is your summer actually restful or just busy in a different place? Jinger & Jeremy get real about planning a truly restorative summer with little kids, sharing their own vacation wins and fails, why they're staying in California this year, and the honest truth about traveling with young children. But this episode goes deeper than travel tips. They dive into a theology of rest... what Scripture says about why we crave vacations, what the Sabbath really points to, and how Jesus' promise of rest connects to our everyday longing to slow down. What we cover: - How to plan a family vacation that's actually restful (not just survived) - Hotels vs. Airbnbs with kids and what works and what doesn't - Why they're exploring California instead of flying cross-country this summer - The biblical concept of Sabbath and what it means for modern life - Why Jesus promises rest for weary souls and what that has to do with your summer - Childhood vacation memories and why making them for your kids matters Don't forget to like, comment and SUBSCRIBE. 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:14 - Theology of Rest 00:00:50 - Summer Vacation Plans 00:01:33 - Challenges of Vacationing with Kids 00:02:24 - Choosing Family-Friendly Vacation Spots 00:03:29 - The Struggles of Staying in Hotels 00:04:09 - Staying Local for Vacation 00:04:54 - The Benefits of Airbnb 00:05:22 - Exploring California 00:09:46 - Planning for Future Travels 00:15:06 - Different Types of Vacation 00:15:50 - Personal Preferences for Vacation 00:17:44 - The Need for Rest 00:20:55 - Reflections on Work and Rest 00:27:00 - Childhood Vacation Memories 00:30:16 - Creating Memories for Children 00:30:17 - Summer Plans OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: COZY EARTH: Luxury Shouldn’t Be Out of Reach.

    When God Shows Up in Grief with Granger & Amber Smith

    What happens when tragedy strips everything away and leaves something far greater behind? In this powerful episode, Jinger and Jeremy sit down with country music star-turned-pastor Granger Smith and his wife, author Amber Smith, for one of the most moving conversations about grief, marriage, and genuine faith you'll hear this year. Granger opens up about walking away from a wildly successful music career, including his viral alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr. and how the devastating loss of their 3-year-old son, River, in 2019 became the catalyst for real, saving faith. Amber shares what it was like to rebuild their marriage in the wake of unimaginable grief, the pact they made to stay together, and her journey to writing her deeply hopeful book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor. Together, they discuss the River Kelly Fund, water safety, finding purpose through pain, and what they'd say to anyone sitting on a bathroom floor with no hope left. In this episode: - Granger's decade-long grind in Nashville & the Earl Dibbles Jr. viral moment - How Amber went from acting in his music video to becoming his wife - The tragic loss of their son River and how it transformed their faith - How they kept their marriage intact through catastrophic grief - Amber's book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor and why it has a hopeful ending - The River Kelly Fund and giving back globally in River's honor - Granger's upcoming book on cultural Christianity - What true saving faith looks like vs. cultural Christianity Perfect for fans of: Christian podcasts, faith and grief, marriage and relationships, country music, Granger Smith, redemption stories, parenting, loss, and hope.
