Critical Folly with Steve Farris

We are back! (Finally!) After a 4 week absence and a few technical difficulties we are glad to once again be with you on Critical Folly. Because its a fair and valid question, no I did not relapse or return to rehab :). (9 months clean and clear...thank you Jesus!) Just busy with this amazing life God has given me and trying to navigate the fun happenings of recording a podcast in an RV. This week, I give random thoughts....enjoy!

Riley Smith is a songwriter and recording artist from Atlanta, Georgia. His band RYLY has over 20,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and their two latest singles have combined for over 200,000 downloads. Listen in as Steve and Riley talk about music, life and faith.

Perry Myers is the Head Football Coach, Athletic Director and Dean of Students at Harvest Christian Academy in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2019, he led the HCA to their first football state championship. Perry is also a personal trainer and competitive body builder.

This episode includes an important conversation between Steve and his good friends (who happen to be a lesbian, same sex couple) Tina and Courtney Lowman. We hope you'll be encouraged by their friendship and challenged to love others better.

Dr. Terrance Jackson is a military veteran, university professor, husband and dad. He has also walked through one of the most devastating tragedies a parent could ever imagine. His wisdom and insight will encourage and challenge you as a leader, a parent and an American.

Matt Ferguson is a husband, father and seasoned leader who also happens to be a dear friend and one of the funniest people I know. In this episode, we'll talk about life, parenting and leadership. We'll also pick NFL winners for this weekend's and Matt will give his Top 5 TV sitcoms of the past 20 years.

Listen in as I answer specific questions that people have had about my struggle with depression, anxiety and substance abuse.

Here we go! Remember, this is our maiden voyage so be gentle. There is no telling what array of errors you'll find when listening! (The bright side = it should, theoretically, get better from here.) That said...I really hope you enjoy Episode 1 and that you find some encouragement in my story.
