    Creative Coping: Johnny Anomaly and Jamey discuss authenticity, depression, and faithfulness in the struggle

    Greetings beautiful people!
    On this episode we're playing an interview Jamey did on the Creative Coping podcast with Johnny Anomaly in September 2019. Jamey shares how he got into hip-hop, the current state of the genre and his thoughts on it, as well as the art of storytelling in hip-hop and the importance of saying something. He shares some of the creative processes behind creating music, specifically the Royalty Check & Unexpected Joy EP's.
    Johnny and Jamey then talk about Jamey's involvement in the Samson Society, which is a community of men who are serious about authenticity, humility, and recovery.
    Lastly he talks about his experience with grief and depression, and how the songwriting process on Unexpected Joy became like survival for him. Tune in and be sure to share this episode with anybody who you think could benefit from it.
    Peace and infinite blessings!

    Elissa Bjeletich Davis on Loss, Love...and Life after Divorce

    We should call this episode 4th Time's A Charm as this is the fourth time we have had the pleasure of talking with Elissa Bjeletich Davis, an author and fellow podcaster.
    She updates us on what's been happening with her since the last time she was on the show. We set it off getting right into deep stuff. She share with us what it's like living with loss and how grief is something that is connected to love. We talk about family life and how that affects how we measure time.
    Elissa then lets us in on what a post divorce life is like, how it disrupts routines, and how to rebuild after.
    We wrap things up with her giving us the story of her remarriage and what life is like trying to create new rhythm.

    World’s Okayest Episode: Jamey discusses songwriting and the creative process on the Jiggy Jaguar Show

    World’s Okayest Episode: Jamey discusses songwriting and the creative process on the Jiggy Jaguar Show

    Whaddup good people?! Hope the new year has been good for you so far. After a little time away to recharge and refresh, we're back with the first episode of 2023!
    On this episode we bring you and interview Chunjay did on a radio show called "The Jiggy Jaguar Show" on iHeart Radio. He discusses with them the meaning on some songs from "World's Okayest Rapper" EP (produced by CookBook), and shares some stories about the recording process and lyrical content.
    It's pretty much like audio liner notes, so you'll get some idea of how Jamey gets creative, and learn some more details on the recording of the EP. There are shipwrecks behind the lyrics, and he gets to discuss it on radio. Tune in and turn it up!
    The new Royal Ruckus record Come On and Wake Up! comes out January 21, 2023!

    Nicole Roccas on Time, Trauma, Creativity, and Healing

    Just like that we're back with a super fresh baked episode hot from the oven!
    On this episode we get to sit down with author, trauma-informed coach, and fellow podcaster Nicole Roccas. She takes the time to share with us how she got interested in the theme of time, how vast a subject it is, and how it affects our lives. We deep dive with the concept of time and how the idea of what time is has changed through the years.
    This leads us into her experience with trauma and how she started her journey as a trauma-informed coach helping other people through some of the difficult things in life. She shares how trauma has  effected creatives and artists and what she does to speak into their lives with "trauma-informed creative coaching."
    This truly was a special conversation and we hope it helps you.

    Pastor Mike Landsman on Helping the Hurting through Chaplaincy, Church Relations, and Pastoral Care

    Pastor Mike Landsman on Helping the Hurting through Chaplaincy, Church Relations, and Pastoral Care

    Once again, Nomadik Vagabond here!!! What up beautiful people of the global sphere!!! We hope y'all had a great time giving thanks!!
    We got the pleasure of chopping it up with Mike Landsman, a pastor, hospital chaplain, and husband & father. He gives a glimpse into his daily routine as a hospital chaplain and shares with us the joys and challenges he faces dealing with people who are often terminally ill.
    After jumping right into the heavy stuff we discuss his upbringing as a pastor's kid, his time in the Word Faith Movement (https://www.equip.org/perspectives/word-faith-whats-wrong-with-the-word-faith-movement/)and how he was introduced to the early church fathers and the impact their teaching has had on his life. 
    He is also co-host of The Areopagus podcast on Ancient Faith Radio with Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick. He shares his experience being a non-Orthodox Christian on an Orthodox Christian platform.
    This leads us into how Orthodox Christianity and the early Church Fathers have impacted him, how he has implemented some practices from early Christianity to enrich the worship life of his own church, and what it's been like to touch "multiple Christianities."
    Lastly Pastor Mike shares what his pastoral role is like being "the new guy" at an established church with over 200 years of history—and the challenges and joys that come with it.
    Thank you all for tuning in! Remember to share and subscribe we want as many people to hear these shows! And of course you can follow us on IG

    Everyday Orthodox pt.2: Jamey joins Elissa Bjeletich Davis to discuss, marriage, fatherhood, ”Bad Books Of The Bible”, and a deep dive into his faith journey.

    What's up wonderful people, we hope y'all are well, happy and healthy! 
    Did you dig the last episode? We hope so, because this episode is almost like part 2 of the last one. You know how sometimes you hear an episode of something and it leaves you wanting more? Well we got you covered. Back in December of 2021 Jamey sat down (again) with Elissa Bjeletich Davis on her podcast Everyday Orthodox (see last episodes show notes to see what the show is about) and catch up and discuss recent developments in his life.
     
    They kick it off by talking about the backstory of how Jamey met his wife. He shares the incredible story of his wife's journey into her faith and how they met and how they are bringing two cultures together to make something beautiful. One of those beautiful things is their son. Jamey gives a glimpse into how he transitioned from a single man to a husband and father.
     
    Next they discuss his other podcast "Bad Books Of The Bible" where Elissa and Jamey have wonderful dialogue about the origins of the show, the content, co-host (shouts to Joel Miller!) and the purpose of the show.
    Everyday Orthodox is a live call in show so you get to hear Jamey getting put on the spot by a few callers. Definitely worth there listen.
     
    Be sure to look out for the new Royal Ruckus single "Recording In Progress". Video dropping November 19th!

Jamey lets us talk about all the messy stuff of the "spiritual life" that you can't really talk about frankly in other podcast venues. Hard questions, good topics, interesting people.
