I'm Holly Mackle - join me as I ask quirky questions of notable normals. Maybe you've heard what your favorite creatives are working on, but it's outright fun to hear about their most-texted emoji, what they put in their Costco buggy, or the last time they had a dance party.

    Get Serious: Mark Whitworth

    It's a very special Get Serious episode with Holly's real life friend, Mark Whitworth. Mark served for 27 years in several capacities at the Southeastern Conference (or the SEC for those of you sportsy-folk), ultimately as associate commissioner. Through a series of events you've just got to hear him tell, he was recruited to Asbury University first as their Athletic Director, and now as a Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff...and he landed there just a couple of years before the revival, or what is now referred to as the Outpouring at Asbury. Mark shares stories from those extraordinary days, ushering those of us who observed from afar straight into Hughes Auditorium, letting us in on just how God had used his previous training at the SEC to equip him for such a time as this. Be encouraged as you are reminded how God writes our stories and prepares us for the unimaginable. Plus, it's a call to radical humility and an expectant heart. Holly wants you to know if only she could have named this episode a normal Unseriously-style name, she definitely would have called it: "Mark Whitworth Ditched Chapel." Look for more funny stories from Mark on an upcoming episode, but for now this episode will lean into the serious, and we hope your heart is led into worship as well. Links, Mentions, and Resources: Asbury University on Instagram Battle for the Heart/Wellspring Group Mark references, and their previous episode of Unseriously OMPC founding and former lead pastor, Bob Flayhart Mr. "I Preached a Stinker. I'll Be Home Shortly."-himself, Zach Meerkreebs @sojourner_films, and Outpouring info and vids.

    Ned Bustard Is Judging Your Music Taste

    Pop that top on an ice cold Cherry Coke and get ready to break into the song "Safety Dance," it's one of Christendom's most recognizable artists, Ned Bustard. Listen in as Ned tells of his daughters co-opting superhero story lines, how he most easily catches shade from them, and all about how they both betray and disobey him. And oh yeah--you might take this episode as a fair warning before you invite Ned over for dinner. But there's also some serious too--Ned and Holly will talk about their shared appreciation for a spirit of collaboration (see what we did there??), reading aloud as an act of love, Bible & Bagels, and of course, his artwork. You can find Ned on his web site, worldsendimages.com, where you can see all of his books and projects, and at rabbitroom.com, where you can specifically find the Every Moment Holy collection--his collaboration with Doug MacKelvey. Ned is also on Instagram. John Hendrix, Stephen Crotts, Joe Sutphin, and Matt Clark likewise get shout-outs, as do the spectacular Alan & Diana Bauer of Square Halo Books. Find the art Holly references on p. 200 of Every Moment Holy, Volume I.

    Elizabeth Santelmann Blinks Twice

    It's Unseriously's first ever return guest!! Come celebrate with us as author and host of the Sunshine in My Nest podcast, Elizabeth Santelmann, joins Holly for this HOOT of an episode. Listen in as Elizabeth gets a welfare checkup and discusses her son, the new Chick-fil-A brand ambassador. Find out what that dentist knew that Elizabeth didn't, what Holly knew that Elizabeth didn't (Well!), and all the Barbara Manatee that Elizabeth knew and Holly didn't... AND, not to mention this episode is chock-full of behind the scenes goodness on the creation of Unseriously, in which Elizabeth played a CRUCIAL role. As with every episode of Sunshine in My Nest, Elizabeth's heart shines though as she discusses her brand new study, Gently Tended: A Grace-Filled Bible Study for Practicing the Spiritual Disciplines, which is available now for preorder. You won't want to miss Elizabeth and Holly's discussion of incorporating the spiritual disciplines (or means of grace) into daily life, showing (not telling) kids about them, and an unexpected discussion on aging. You can listen to Elizabeth's previous two episodes of Unseriously here and here. Enjoy!

    Elizabeth Harwell Is Never Giving Those Books Back, Deanna

    "Provisions have been made"--cover your mouth to catch the giggles from this delightful episode with author and essayist Elizabeth Harwell. Elizabeth is bound to make this awkward when she tells Deanna she is simply never giving back those books, but she is happy to pass Deanna a book on rocks and minerals. Perhaps non-radioactive spiders? Hope you enjoy this fun jaunt with Holly's real life friend Elizabeth, a funny, kind-hearted deep well of wisdom, and when they settle in from the hijinks they'll discuss how art flourishes friendship and friendship flourishes art, gift economy, passing the peace with their children, and writing funny things for the Tamaras in their lives. Lots of fun stuff is mentioned so all the links: Sara Bannerman's Substack the Storykind podcast with Kate DiCamillo and Kelly Yang The World Entire, Elizabeth Brown that 60-Minutes about Nicholas Winton The Best Christmas Pageant Ever as a read-aloud The Giver Louisiana's Way Home and, of course, those The RxCKSTxR videos... You can find Elizabeth on her Substack, The Things I Carry, or her books The Good Shepherd's Pasture or The Good King's Feast.

    Emma C. Fox Can't Avoid the Near-Death Experience

    It's a fun one with not one...not two...but three accidental near-death experiences with historical fantasy author Emma C. Fox. Listen in as Emma tells Holly about that time with the mushrooms, that time with the ski instructor, and that other time with the horse...and oh yeah, Emma would also like to publicly apologize to Megan's mom. Laura Lee Sims, you are a legend, and Debbie Bailey...well, your reviews are mixed at this time. Emma can DM you her mailing address. Check your safety strap and join Holly and Emma live from the accidental black diamond as they cram way too much into five minutes, but also talk about those things we can do for kids that might unknowingly set the course for their lives. They'll also chat about seeking equilibrium between the roles of creative and mom, and trusting God and by letting go of our creative endeavors. Kimi Cunningham Grant, you get a shout out right alongside John Steinbeck! Find Emma's books from her publisher, Owl's Nest, follow her on Substack at Hiraeth House (yes, we checked the spelling like four times), or find her at emmafoxauthor.com or on Instagram, @emmafoxbooks. You can preorder her latest release here. The Arrow and the Crown is the book that was featured at Holly's daughter's birthday and her recommended place to start.
