    Mary Ryan Brown Hangs with the Terry Gross She Might See at a Buc-ee's

    Put on your pantyhose and your Talbots 2-piece skirt suit and get ready to glow up for the Nerd Carnival--it's one of the Deep South's very own, bean connoisseur and Holly's brand new duo interpretation partner, comedian Mary Ryan Brown. Listen in and feel bad for guys actually named Greg as Mary Ryan and Holly delve into their oddball-similarities, including both a long-held affinity for Terry Gross and the knowledge of which Staples you have to go to to find that specific book. This episode is chock-full of the joy that is Mary Ryan's comedy and quick wit, whether that's in giving new meaning to the term "tube sock," looking for the Whalt Disney Whorld adults with a sense of humor, or talking Mary Ryan out of a Tide pod...we're just going to presume you know her already - but if you don't - Unseriously is delighted to introduce you. Mary Ryan and Holly will also have some dear moments you won't want to miss remembering Mary Ryan's grandmother, Dr. Frances A. Karnes, what makes Southerners so special, and the intersection of faith and comedy. Find Mary Ryan on Instagram or at her web site, maryryanbrown.com. Local friends, note she's appearing at the Stardome in Birmingham on October 4th with Landon Bryant. And here's that tomato soup recipe Mary Ryan talks about! 5-6 Roma tomatoes, sliced 1 can of butter beans, drained 1 can of Cannelinni beans, drained 1 orange bell pepper, sliced 1 whole head of garlic, covered in olive oil and wrapped in foil  1 whole yellow onion, quartered Olive oil Garlic powder Onion powder Salt  Pepper Trader Joe's Soffrito seasoning  Combine all ingredients on a large sheet pan and roast for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Blend roasted ingredients, then add one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and vegetable broth or heavy cream to achieve desired consistency. Serve with a balsamic drizzle.  Music for Unseriously was composed and produced by Adam Wright, founder of ⁠⁠The Corner Room⁠⁠, a ministry that sets the Bible to music as a tool for memorization and meditation.

    Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon Named Their Book After Hope

    Put on the Cardi B., snap on your overalls, and lace up those combat boots--it's time for the ladies from At His Feet studies, Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon. (Did you know they named their new book after Hope?? Yeah, the publisher wouldn't let them call it Hope & Chris for the Anxious and Depressed...so weird, B&H.) Hope and Chris BRING IT in this episode, letting us all know we really should be more afraid of the butterfly house, the microwave, and those boys in Hebrew class. These ladies set the example for being unapologetically themselves, and the way they live life in color is refreshing and shame-releasing. And also possibly has undiagnosed dyslexia...maybe, we don't know, but probably yes. They bring their whole hearts to this episode, laughing together and reminding us all that Jesus is not ashamed of us. Chris and Hope's new book, Hope for the Anxious and Depressed, releases September 29th with B&H and is on preorder now. You can find all of their previous studies at their web site, athisfeetstudies.com, where you can also find their latest study on 1 Corinthians. The ladies are also on the Instagram.

    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.
