ROUGH DRAFT: A Revisable Way of Life
By: Kenyon R. Dudley | Date: October 19, 2022
So, I wake up this morning and I have this strong thought that's pulling on me. "Listen to Justin Jones' new podcast." The most recent episode had dropped on Apple Podcasts a few days prior, but I had yet to be able to tune in and see what it was all about. Honestly, I expected nothing less than greatness, but what I heard was more than great. It was phenomenal and the most comfortable place to just be yourself that I've witnessed in a long time.
He starts the season off with a candid conversation with his mom, the incomparable Apostle Kimberly Jones (IYKYK). And in a way that only Justin could do, he sits in his room behind a microphone and has the most comfortable, intellectually and emotionally sound conversation of the year when it comes to the relationship journey of parents and kids. As I went about my morning routine and listened, I could only think one thing,
"Where in the heck was this type of podcast when I was growing up?"
I mean, this whole podcast premise and the talks included allow you as a young adult to have the freedom of speech and the processing of thought within the context of a real relatable God we all hunger to exercise. Even those who are seasoned will find a place for their younger selves to unpack what they've experienced in their past. It's a podcast for everyone. Having strong similarities to Justin, I can relate to needing an outlet like this as a young adult. Though still in my prime and having much more work and purpose ahead of me, I'm so excited to get behind this vision and write about my experience as I listened in to this young(er) man.
Jones and his mother cover a wide array of topics from ministry, life, family, and the ever-evolving journey between a child and their parents. What a cool way to start off the Rough Draft podcast season, and honestly, it's brilliant. You can never go wrong with capturing a candid conversation if you start with your parents or those who actually took the time to steer you and rear you. As they cover these interpersonal themes in a very relaxed, candid, and conversational way you immediately find yourself hanging out in the room with them considering how your relationship with your parents were or weren't, but never sitting in the seat of regret or abandonment. Participating in their conversation in your head while listening, strangely enough brings you into a place of solace because they never not once presented their ideas in a way that made it seem like they have it all together. It's like being invited over to a friend's house and being able to participate in a cool conversation with the family...a conversation that you've always needed. I'm assuming that's why the podcast is called, Rough Draft. PUN INTENDED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE!
Justin Jones is on to something here! He's about to strike gold with this and it's authentically unapologetically him in this work. I'm hoping that he continues on this journey and shares on every topic he's had the privilege to encounter through experience while on his young adult journey with God.
It's exactly the type of thought-provoking, Word-based, unassuming, unintimidating, and inviting conversations we ALL need today while trying to navigate our everyday lives and our walk with God.
It's refreshing to not only be reminded that we are all a work in progress and God's love, grace, and mercy is right there with us helping us evolve, grow, and come into the fullness of who we were predestined to be; but it's a whole new world of freedom to actually witness someone like Justin so eloquently and effortlessly demonstrate it through words and conversation.
Justin, if you're reading this, I'm looking forward to the evolution of this podcast. Looking forward to you going out on the streets and getting people's candid responses to riveting topics. Popping up at events and hosting your show LIVE with those who are there. I'm looking forward to you bringing some of the dopest and realest people in various industries to the mic to talk about great topics. And most of all, I'm looking forward to the many lives (both young and seasoned) who will be transformed because they've found a room to sit in for at least an hour that will not discriminate, condemn, or beat them over the head with expectations; but rather will subtly and creatively call them into the place of greatness and freedom that God has ordained for them.
To the future my good brother!
Thank you for helping us all become more comfortable with living a revisable way of life by remembering that we're all a work in progress and that this is ok. And why is it ok? Because it's God's hand that holds us and is guiding us into every bit of our promise. #brilliant #podcast #dope #conversations #roughdraft
