    So glad you didn't shelve this podcast for a technical failure. This is the best interview you've ever done...and probably ever will! Rory is a hero to many of us.

    Rory’s spirit is so great and genuine. He speaks wisdom beyond his years. His voice is so soothing to the soul, for he is a very wise, humble and gentle man. He is such a blessing to us all. Thank you Rory for sharing some of your divine divergence of your life with me. God bless you and your family.

    Down Syndrome can be extremely different than Indy. Rory is blessed she is high functioning. Some aren't able to comprehend and need continuous care in hygiene and toiletry. God bless all parents especially those who pour themselves into their children's needs.

    I'm French and it was a good exercice for me to listen to this interview... My eldest sister who used to be a nurse, worked with Down Syndrome people 5 yeras ago and she met the most wonderful people of all her career.. She just considered them as different but not less.. And Rory can be proud of his cute blessing daughter ! and one day she will realize how lucky (even if she has to grow up without her mom) she is to have such a great father !

      Hmmm...not according to his two older daughters whom he has been estranged with for the past year, as he kept them from their biological mother while they were growing up. Now is daughter Heidi says that Rory is keeping them from seeing their little Sister Indy. Really not all as lovely as the branding and promotion of Rory is carefully curated and appears😔

Rory has been through so major grief....The loss of someone you love is the hardest....I lost my daughter in Aug 23 and its been the hardest thing ever. Joey's journey through cancer was so sad..Joey loved the Lord.....Thank you for doing this video...God bless you...

    Rory Feek is a very wise man and I think lots of people could learn from him. I have followed him and Joey for a while and even saw the replay of him and Joey on the talent show. I was surprised when I saw Naomi Judd was a judge on there and she said wonderful things about the singing they did.

It is great to listen about Rory has grown from his trials through his life and that we are all learning everyday. Thank you for not just putting this pod cast in the archives without showing it. Have a wonderful day. God Bless.

    I am so thankful you shared this! There were so many great thoughts shared by a man I truly respect. When I came to the Homestead Festival last summer and met all of you, I felt like I was finally home. Among like-minded people. When Rory speaks, I feel like I’m hearing words spoken right out of my own heart. Btw, didn’t really even notice the blurriness because I was so focused on the conversation you two were having. Thank you, Justin. God bless!

    I love Rory's spirit, I'm guessing this was filmed a couple of years ago since Indie is 9 already. I loved "This Life I Live" that was on RFD channel and the content that centered around the school on his property. I am 63 and oh how I would have loved to have gone to that school, it is so special.

God IS LOVE. Jesus LOVED the sin out of the world. He died FOR our sins! Who are, any of us, to dare reject another for THEIR SIN?!?!? Perfectly said!!! Bravo, Rory!!!

Rory has been through so many ups and downs and joys and heartbreaks. It’s definitely a lesson in learning to continue to maneuver through life no matter what it throws at you. Thanks to both Justin and Rory for taking the time to do this.

    I so agree my girls are such a gift. They both have autism and I love their unique look at the world. I love that they speak their heart. My younger girls have older siblings and like us we don’t see them with “disabilities” but different abilities. My girls cook for themselves and help around the house. They are just a blessing.
    About Rory as a father. Late life parents are different because of life experience. Wisdom makes us different.
    It’s a great interview thanks for sharing it.

Our family is Christian and my daughter grew up in a christian school. We have tried so hard to love her through the disaster, but boy it's hard. She has terrible anxiety, lupus, amd healthy crises galore. She isn't truly happy. I firmly believe that she won't be content until she does what God wants her to do.i worry that God will call her home because he will grow tired of her not listening. Rory really spoke to me.

    I’d like to say that I didn’t even realize you did interviews.And this is a great interview. My reaction is one of wonder. I think for a man that may believe that a lifestyle might not meet his religious belief system he kept it simple and lived by the pure and unconditional love Christ taught us which is unconditional.. I hope other people conflicted with other family or friends choices they can see the value of that kind of love. Thanks for sharing his story. Oh and you are way to picky. The filming was fine. Don’t ever let the quality trump the content. Because this was about words not pictures. Thanks for putting this out there.

    When I lost my Mike, I tried to find love but something just wasn't right every time. It took me eight years to find the one I am destined to be with for the rest of my life or (God forbid) his. It's so hard to lose someone you love so very dearly in life. I'm grateful beyond words for my Rob. I'm also grateful that Rory has again found love. Every time real love comes, it is unique. With Mike, the word passion did not give enough emphasis on what was. Rob and I had passion but more so a calmer relationship from the start. I've walked three times through cancer with Rob. He's still going strong for which I am grateful beyond words. He and I are very different in politics and other ways. However, the love is genuine which gets us through a world of "hurts". I'm so grateful that we can get along and love one another despite any external barriers.
