  • Not a Waste at all

    I heard Davey interviewed on another podcast/presentation and I was intrigued and checked out this podcast. I am so glad I did! The speakers are telling me information that is new to me and life-changing - and I really mean that. I enjoy the new perspective I get from listening.

    One caveat— I skip about the first 10 minutes of every episode up until the interview/guest starts.

  • Your time won’t be wasted

    I learned about Nothing is Wasted when a woman at church suggested the book. Got it and read it - in pieces, because man is it a hard story. Passed it on to another woman at church who is devouring it.

    And then we found out there was a podcast too!!

    We’re both listening to this now, me in the mornings while making breakfast and walking the dog.

    Thank you for sharing the redemption story of your family’s lives. Thank you to your guests for sharing theirs.

    We serve mighty mighty God.

  • Thankful Beyond Words

    This podcast is my lifeline in all seasons—particularly my “impossible.” In my weakness, our God is strong, and Davey’s words—in book and podcast—echo in my mind to point me back to Jesus, time and time again. Thank you, Davey, for your heart for Jesus and for proclaiming His goodness no matter the circumstance.

  • A broken-hearted mom who’s found purpose

    In May of 2020, my husband and I experienced the unimaginable pain of losing our 15-year-old son to suicide. Two years ago, I discovered the Nothing Is Wasted podcast, and I haven’t stopped listening since. Every episode has been a source of encouragement, insight, and deep healing. I often find myself taking notes because there is just so much wisdom shared by Davey and the incredible guests who generously open their hearts and stories.

    As career educators, my husband and I have since created ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 454 - Psalms of Lament for Life After Trauma with Nick Hamilton (Veteran's Day Episode)
Q: Why did you choose the phrase “Making Friends with Darkness”?
Hamilton explains that people need to acknowledge and accept the trauma they are experiencing before they can move through it. The title refers to accepting the darkness that has descended on their lives, not embracing harmful darkness.
Episode 454 - Psalms of Lament for Life After Trauma with Nick Hamilton (Veteran's Day Episode)
Q: How can scripture specifically help us in the midst of healing through this kind of trauma?
Hamilton says scripture gives people permission and language to wrestle honestly with God. The Psalms offer patterns for expressing disorientation and lament, as well as reorientation after suffering.
Episode 453 - From Prison Inmate to Mayor: A Journey of Reconciliation and Restoration with Jermaine Wilson
Q: How has your experience with your father and growing up, as well as what you've observed in other young men who are incarcerated and the lack of fatherhood there, changed the way you're a father?
Wilson says his relationship with Jesus helped him understand God as a father who does not abandon his children. That understanding helped him forgive himself and his own father and learn to be a father to his son.
Episode 453 - From Prison Inmate to Mayor: A Journey of Reconciliation and Restoration with Jermaine Wilson
Q: What do you wish that by and large the, especially like the suburban church, would understand, and how can the church be more involved?
Wilson urges churches to intentionally welcome people returning from prison, visit prisons, and partner with Prison Fellowship. He says incarcerated people are part of their communities and deserve the same forgiveness and second chances churches have received.
Episode 451 - Waves of Child Loss and the Practical Arks that Carry Us Through with Matthew Efird
Q: How has your perspective changed, and how has this changed the purpose that drives you and your family every day?
Efird says grief has made him more attentive to people as individuals, more compassionate and vulnerable, and more mindful of time. He tries to listen without redirecting attention to his own story and to treat his businesses as avenues for ministry.
