You may have heard of Monument Records recording artist Walker Hayes from his hit “Fancy Like” which topped every country music sales and streaming chart, spent more than six months at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and also gave Walker his first GRAMMY Award nomination as an artist for Best Country Song. Another thing you may or may not know, is that Walker had his own struggles with Alcohol and through his success is now sharing this journey on his most recent project, Sober Thoughts. Walker finds himself where he so often does – letting fans into his world in a way only he can do. Hayes has always written about his personal experiences from a place of deep authenticity and, sometimes brutal, truth – sharing his fears, insecurities, and demons with the world. We watch him do this on “AA” where he was struggling to stay sober after a whirlwind year, or on “Beer in the Fridge” when he sings “guess I've got to live without you now, cause I couldn't live without that beer in the fridge” during a particularly difficult time where he and his wife Laney were struggling with his addiction. But really, what Walker does with his music, is make people feel seen. This has never been truer than on new single “Same Drunk,” where he sings that everyone is dealing with something and were all in it together. Walker has performed his music, including the Double-Platinum RIAA certified hit “You Broke Up With Me,” to national audiences on Good Morning America, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and TODAY, and he was profiled for CBS Sunday Morning. He just announced his next headlining tour, The Same Drunk Tour, which follows his last arena tours The Duck Buck Tour and the Glad You're Here Tour. The Glad You're Here Tour is the same title as the book Hayes released in 2022 with his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper, detailing his journey to finding Christ.    IG - @walkerhayes https://www.walkerhayes.com/   Tired of Drinking?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Walker, & Craig discuss: The journey to finding Jesus and how it changes lives. Being a friend without judgment. Handling success after years of struggles. Serving Jesus where you are at in your life.   Key Takeaways: Jesus will use you to create miracles if you listen and act as His hands.  The cross around your neck - is it decoration or is it real? God grows us in the valleys of our lives. He is preparing us for a future beyond our imagination. Live your life in a way that really points everybody to Christ over and over again. Time is a gift. If time is all you have to give, that is your greatest asset.   "Jesus fixes it all and success hasn't really changed anything. If anything, it's given me a lot more problems to navigate." —  Walker Hayes About Craig Cooper:  Craig Allen Cooper is a gifted storyteller, Bible teacher, and best-selling author of Glad You're Here, co-written with Grammy Nominated singer/songwriter Walker Hayes.

Have you ever been in a desperate situation wondering how you will make it to the next day? Perhaps there isn't enough money to pay that one bill, or perhaps your health hasn't been the greatest and you wonder if you'll ever feel better, or maybe you're in a dire situation and you just can't see your way out of it. During these times, one person's kind gesture or offer of help is sometimes the way we're able to make it to the next day—turning a corner away from a turbulent season of our lives. So often these “angels” appear in the form of friends, family, and sometimes even strangers who act as God's agents to lift us up into a better place. This week we will hear two touching stories that speak to how God sends his help through others—right when we need it most. We're talking with singer Walker Hayes and his friend, Pastor Craig Allen Cooper, and founder of the Be Heard movement, Evan Dougoud.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Krispin Mayfield Upcoming interview: Jeff Henderson   Walker Hayes Craig Cooper Glad You're Here Redeeming Grace Church   Evan Dougoud Be Heard Movement Transformation Church www.beheardmovement.com   Interview Quotes: “I'd just been beat up by Nashville and wasn't really excited to be known or know people. I was not a very approachable person when I met Craig, at all. And a lot of that was by choice, and just that was kind of comfortably where I lived.” - Walker Hayes “I said, ‘Lord, I try to encourage other people, you know that. I need you, please, to encourage me. Is anything I'm doing to make a difference in anybody's life? Please show me that you have me where you want me.'” - Craig Allen Cooper  “I think God was kind to show me Christ in another human, and I'm so grateful for that.” - Walker Hayes “It was just very, very tough to try to focus on school when you're trying to focus on surviving.” - Evan Dougoud “I'm standing here today only as a walking miracle, but most importantly, God saved me and I want to help and go and do the same for somebody else.” - Evan Dougoud “What if I didn't move to Tulsa? There's people on the street I would've never met, who may have died on the street if I didn't move, if God didn't use my story, if God didn't redirect my steps.” - Evan Dougoud “I stopped putting God in a box of how He will provide for us.” - Evan Dougoud  “I learned that trust is gained in buckets, but lost in drops. By us being consistent, by us being a man of our word, by us just showing up, it created a unique, trusting relationship to those who are unhoused.” - Evan Dougoud ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

We have heard it time and time again, Love thy neighbor. But...what does that mean in our lives, now? Recently I learned about the new book "Glad You're Here" Written by Walker Hayes and his neighbor and dear friend, Craig Allen Cooper. Their story is one that goes against how so many of us view neighbors in the most refreshing, culture-shifting way. As the world grows increasingly distant, I wanted to have this conversation because those in my very own community have had the greatest impact on my life. Neighbors have celebrated with me, mourned with me, in many senses were the community that raised me, and the thought of loosing this profound connection saddens me. Yet, it doesn't have to be this way! This profound story of authenticity, generosity and connection is one we know will give you a glimpse of what's possible! Through this conversation Craig will walk us through: - How his early neighborhood relationships impacted him -How he came to meet the Hayes Family through natural 'friend chemistry' - What it looks like to know your neighbors needs and respond -The importance of time in a relationship-How to embrace all of life's seasons in relationship We know that you will crave more of this story! To learn more about Craig & Walker's relationship be sure to pick up their book here! Also, because I know it will move you as much as it did me, Listen to Walker's song written about today's guest titled Craig. ------------------------------------Visit This Episodes Sponsors Cotier Brand:Save 15% on conversation napkins at Cotier w/ code Gather15 through their website here!

After months of battling soaring inflation, the Federal Reserve has pulled the trigger on raising interest rates — approving a substantial half-percentage-point rate increase earlier this week. As Americans face the largest interest rate hike that's hit the U.S. since 2000, many wonder what the coming months could look like as economists talk of a potential recession. FOX Business's Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to discuss how recent interest rate spikes affect Americans' day-to-day lives, why the current economy is benefiting the housing market, and the likelihood of a recession hitting the U.S.   The path to success wasn't an easy one for country singer Walker Hayes. After moving to Nashville to make it big, he struggled to follow his dreams and overcome alcoholism all while supporting his family. It wasn't until meeting his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper, that Walker found a new life of faith, sobriety, and later, stardom. He joins the Rundown to discuss how his hit song, "Fancy Like," took off on Tik Tok, defeating addiction, and the importance of the support from his friends and family that got him to where he is today.   Don't miss the good news with Tonya J.
