Get ready for some real and raw conversation with Jen and two of her most trusted friends about an experience they've all shared [which happens to be this week's elephant in the room as well]. We're talking about divorce. We've all heard the not-so-fun stat that at least half of all marriages in our country end up in divorce. No matter how it happens, who makes the choice, or however long the marriage lasted—it's traumatizing. Like any elephant in the room, there's a sense of failure, a sense of shame that keeps the pain and loneliness of a marriage that is on the rails shrouded in silence and solitude, and when the marriage finally crumbles––we're not only grieving over own dreams and expectations dashed, but wondering how we'll manage all our people's disappointment and confusion over it all–including our children's. And moving forward as a single person after being married has its own challenges as well. How do you tell people in the office your plus one has vacated the position? Who's your emergency contact now? Do I keep the same last name? How do we even process it all–what we were taught about marriage to begin with, why we stayed when our boundaries were pushed to their limits, and who we can trust as we put our lives back together again? Jen shares more than she ever has before about her own divorce with her good friends Kristen Howerton and Jamie Wright who walked with her through every step of the process. They discuss the trajectory of their marriages, how they each grappled with choosing divorce, and what they are learning in “real time” in the aftermath. And here's the good news–they all agree that as devastating as it can be, our friends can help us remember who we are in all of it; new dreams can be made, old dreams can change and hope and healing is possible. * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

He's built a following of over 18,000 followers on Instagram, whilst building his YouTune Channel 'Jamie's Running'.

In 2020, Jamie ran 70 half marathons in memory of a very close friend who sadly took his life. Jamie mentions how the deeper meaning behind his running is what inspires him to get up every morning at 05:30 to run even when he doesn't feel like it. He speaks about the ultra marathon he did last year and what spurred that on. Jamie says his improvement over the last few years comes mainly down to his consistency of training, and he's challenging himself to be more organised in his self coaching in order to improve further. Tomi and Jamie discuss gear including Jamie's favourite running shoes (If you know him...you know he loves shoes)!

In this episode, I share my conversation with Jamie Wright. I realize that Jamie has gone through a number of seismic life shifts since we recorded this conversation back in April 2018, so I wanted to be clear on when this was captured so there's no confusion as to why we don't mention this or that in the interview. What I appreciated about Jamie's book The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever and about this conversation is that she gives an honest take on her journey of wrestling with faith and being part of and fitting into a faith community. Honestly, it reminded me of my interview with Rachel Held Evans back in the day. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jamie Wright, the very worst missionary.

Welcome to the first episode of Ordinary Conversations. I've wanted to start the project for a while to give "ordinary" people a platform to share their story, their journey, and their experience. I began a journey of questioning what I was taught nearly a decade ago, and that put me in the uncomfortable position of realizing that I couldn't really defend what I believed. Once I began to ask certain questions, I found that some friends weren't friendly any longer. Through this journey I've met a lot of really interesting people who (in my opinion) should be heard. I've decided that this is the place for them to have the freedom to have that conversation. Our first guest is a dear friend of mine, a Christian Pastor, my pastor and friend, Jamie Wright. Jamie has been on a journey of reformation and discovery over the last decade or so. You need to take that image of "Pastor" out of your mind where you see a gray-haired man in a suit and tie in a big, fancy church. That isn't who Jamie is. First and foremost, he is a teacher. He has been a source of encouragement and information for me over the last five years and I can't imagine where I would be right now without him. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jamie Wright, author of The Very Worst Missionary, sits down with Jeff and Allen this week to discuss her new book. They talk about the failings of short term mission trips, the North American Missions Industrial Complex, being authentic, church ministry, and more. In 2007 Jamie and her husband uprooted their family from the life they knew to the unknown land of Costa Rica to be missionaries. Despite what the rhetoric of the church had taught her, being a missionary was not all it was cracked up to be. In fact, she found missions to be a broken system that perhaps does more harm that good. Jamie was ill prepared for the journey ahead of her, but was able to find her voice by taking up the moniker of The Very Worst Missionary. She started The Very Worst Missionary blog are started writing honestly about her difficulties being on the mission field. Along the way speaking out against the false pretenses that led her to a broken system. This year Jamie released her memoir (or whatever), recounting her life leading up to, and reflection on, her time in Costa Rica.

My guest this week is Jamie Wright. Jamie is known online as Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, and recently published her first book, The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever. We talk about her book, as well as touching on criticism of mission work, evangelicalism, weirdos, and why the critique of 'only saying something negative' doesn't hold much weight. Buy her book: https://www.amazon.com/Very-Worst-Missionary-Memoir-Whatever-ebook/dp/B073QZPYLX/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1 Visit theveryworstmissionary.com.

Jamie Wright is a writer who knows spending $53 billion annually to spreak white people religion is ridculous. That's why she closely monitors the crap meter that evaluates such "mission trips" and "callings" and loudly and colorfully reports the truth to anyone who will listen. Her new book "The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever" is the most honest book on being a missionary I have read. It's based on her five years as an on-the-ground, full-time "foreign" missionary, and is a spot on account of the underbelly of what it's like. She's a good writer who is going to get even better with her next book (I have her promise she will keep working on it). After you buy her book, follow her latest musings on her blog here.
On the series finale of Called, Not Qualified - Corey, Emily and Jamie talk about how we see the "Great Commission" after missions, mental illness and lonliness driving people into missions.

Jamie (The Very Worst Missionary) Wright was a normal evangelical soccer mom, then became a missionary, and immediately after showing up in Costa Rica, realized that the world of missions is, in her words, "a clusterfuck." In this interview, we talk about missions, why the SBC can't endorse her book, and in the end I made her cry. So! STICK AROUND FOR THAT! ...

Returning guest, Jamie Wright wrote a memoir on her journey of falling in and out of love with evangelicalism only falling in and out of love with missionary work right afterwards. "The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever" is a very honest look at her personal growth, personal flaws and the role that "church" and faith played throughout her journey.

My guest is Jamie Wright. After finding her faith at a suburban megachurch, Jamie trades in the easy life on the cul-de-sac for the green fields of Costa Rica. There, along with her family, she earnestly hopes to serve God and change lives. But faced with a yawning culture gap and persistent shortcomings in herself and her fellow workers, she soon loses confidence in the missionary enterprise and falls into a funk of cynicism and despair. Nearly paralyzed by depression, yet still wanting to make a difference, she decides to tell the whole, disenchanted truth: Missionaries suck and our work makes no sense at all! From her sofa in Central America, she launches a renegade blog, Jamie the Very Worst Missionary, and against all odds wins a large and passionate following. Which leads her to see that maybe a "bad" missionary--awkward, doubtful, and vocal—is exactly what the world and the throngs of American do-gooders need. The Very Worst Missionary (https://www.amazon.com/Very-Worst-Missionary-Memoir-Whatever/dp/0451496531) is a disarming, ultimately inspiring spiritual memoir for well-intentioned contrarians everywhere. Special Guest: Jamie Wright.
This week’s theme is wrestling with resurrection, transformation, the ways people are changing the world and when our best intentions go awry. Amy talks about how she was considering leaving the church and Christianity completely, the ways in which she has changed over the past year, and how resurrection has manifested in her life.

Code City Podcast #005 A.I. Fact, Fiction and the Future by Jamie Wright by Code City
In this episode of the Ruby Rogues podcast Dave Kimura, Eric Berry, and Charles Max Wood discuss chatbots with Jamie Wright. Jamie will be speaking at Ruby Dev Summit in October. [01:25] Jamie Wright introduction Jamie is a professional nerd and independent contractor. He's been coding for 20 years mostly in Ruby. He's starting to get into Elixir. One of his first projects was a text adventure game, which got him started with conversational UI's. He saw Hubot on Campfire. He started tweaking that. He made a timetracking bot that used Freshbooks and Harvest. Then Slack came out and he created Tatsu. [05:00] Tatsu features You can schedule it and it'll ask automated questions. He's working on having it integrate with github, Harvest, Google Calendar, etc. If there's a blocker, you should be able to create private conversations with the people who are blocked and add that to the standup. When you sign up it adds a video link into your slack. Eric thinks this is pretty clever. In Slack, the default action people should take when a bot is installed should be to DM the person who installed it. [08:50] What it takes to write a bot and the challenges involved Writing bots is "fun as hell." Chatbots suck. We have the opportunity to improve an entire piece of the industry. Many bots are command based bots. You say something and it responds. Conversational UI's are really hard because they don't have any context or shared understanding of the world. [12:18] Chatbot libraries - Getting Started Every large company is working on one. There are also lots of natural language processing services that you can use as well. Before you start, you need to know your use case. Where will your users be? What services do you want to provide? At work? Probably slack. Among friends? Facebook Node has botkit. It's the most popular chatbot platform in the world. Start with botkit, use the examples, then come back to Ruby. Dave brings up building a chatbot for Slack that connected to VersionOne. Data retrieval bots are another great place to start. From there, you start answering the question of where things go. [18:51] The panel's experience with chatbots Tatsu has been around for about 2 years and has existed pre-Slack. Eric uses a Slackbot to get information about users who cancel or decline messages. Chuck has done automatic posting to Slack with Zapier. Chuck also mentions serverless with AWS Lambda. Chatbots are a lot like webapps. They're text in, text out and process things in very similar ways. Dave also brings up SMS bots as well with Twilio. Jamie has thought about creating a web based standup bot for when Slack is down. Slack is a single point of failure for your bot if that's where it lives. Slack gives you a lot of UI elements that you don't get in SMS. [24:51] Do you wish that Slack were more like IRC From an end-user perspective, no. But Jamie does wish they'd revisit threading replies and separating conversations in the same channel. It only took a handful of developers to build Slack. [27:20] What gems do you use in Ruby? slack-ruby-client by dblock slack-ruby-bot by dblock eventmachine [29:30] Does Slack push to an endpoint? or do you poll Slack? You can call an api endpoint on Slack that gives you a websocket endpoint. The events API sends webhook events to your server. It's easier to program against, but it can be slower. It may also be restricted on certain API's [30:55] Github Fantasy League Based on a Peepcode video with Aaron Patterson. You got a score based on your activity in Github. Jamie recorded videos for a talk at Codemash. It never actually became a thing, but it was a fun idea. Jamie got into Ruby by going to a Ruby Koans talk by Jim Weirich.

Every once in a while (This is the first of those times) we produce a podcast that only barely moves the lousy needle. This week we met, interviewed, and groped SF Improv Festival organizers, Sam Shaw and Jamie Wright. When you have the kind of talent that we had visit the bomb shelter, you don't want to bombard them with too many questions too soon so we chose to go with a neglect and evade type strategy. It worked unequivocally. SK was adroitly able to make all topics about himself and Pete handled his role as grand stander with absolute aplomb. We started with emails with topics such as the Titans of Mavericks, SNL, break dancing, and the Real Roxanne. This lead to the inference that SK's history contained, either, break dancing or a role in the Fat Boys filmography. After a quick plug by Pete for Pete we resumed with the ignoring of, what was clearly, the gold standard in guests and proceeded to plug the upcoming SF history days at the Mint and black history expert John Templeton. These, of course, were just a platform for SK to announce the definiative number of licks to the center of a tootsie pop and to challenge a dead man to a knife fight. Oh, and we talked about the history of Improv in San Francisco and the ground breaking comedy troupe The Committee. What a night!
In this episode, Andrew interviews Jamie Wright on his history and path into technology and bots, and explores modern tools and kits that help streamline BaaBs. We also talk about his standup bot, Tatsu, and his experiences starting up a co-working space in Toledo, Ohio.
Jamie Wright aka The Very Worst Missionary returns to the show to discuss the flaw with short-term missions, over-spiritualized language, the mission of the Church, core competency, a theology of vacations, #noprostitutes, her upcoming book, Uber, parenting tips, preacher's kids, and self-care.
Today we are joined by blogger Jamie Wright who is the self-proclaimed "Very Worst Missionary." Also, is Joey the laziest broadcaster on earth?

Jamie Wright, aka The Very Worst missionary, joins the show to discuss how to practice honesty, depression, #Blessed, who should or shouldn't go or short-term mission trips and she finally answers if she is indeed N.T. Wright’s potty mouthed niece.
Jamie writes at THE VERY WORST MISSIONARY. Her and her husband live in California and have three boys, one of which has already grown up and lives on his own. Jamie and I met each other a few years ago through some mutual friends, although we have never met in person. Isn’t that cool how in 2014 you can have friends that you have actually never met face to face. Love it! In this podcast we discussed our kids growing up (she says middle school is the hardest), sex trafficking, Jamie’s trips with Exodus Road, and how Jamie is supposed to be writing a book.
