🟥 GUEST I JESSICA WILLIS FISHER
Jessica is the eldest of 14 siblings of the Willis Family. The family rocketed to fame after appearing in "America's Got Talent" in 2014 and after two seasons on TLC's reality show, "The Willis Clan." But behind the curtain of fame was a controlling, abusive, violent, and domineering father who is now serving a prison sentence of 40 years on four counts of child rape. In addition to her book, Jessica also recently released "Brand New Day," her debut record. Learn more about today’s guest by clicking 👉 www.jessicawillisfisher.com.

🟥 GOOD GRIEF GOOD GOD SHOW HOSTED BY BRAD WARREN of the Warren Brothers
The Good Grief Good God Show (goodgriefgoodgodshow.com) is hosted by Grammy Nominee, and Emmy & 15X BMI award-winning hit songwriter of fifteen top #10 country songs, including nine #1's, Brad Warren of the Warren Brothers (warrenbrothers.com). Join Brad monthly on the first and third Tuesdays, in audio or on TH-cam for RAW, HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT SURVIVING THINGS THAT SUCK.
Following the immense success of his 20-year career in the music industry, Warren's family was forever changed following the loss of his firstborn son, Sage, to an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2020. Warren discovered a place of healing when he connected with his peers and those who have been through the familiar and often taboo topic of loss. His grief led him to peel back the curtain on the rarely talked about subject of grief-while offering deeply personal stories of his journey to living with loss-in hopes this show connects with those going through the long-lasting process of healing.

She looks 31. Eta. There is nothing wrong with looking your age. She has earned it.
I truly believe that Jessica would be a great psychologist. I was a victim of child sex abuse when I was just 5 years old. I can feel her pain that I went through..😢😢😢
I love this family. Very popular in Nashville. Talented, sweet, the whole package. Such a sad story.
This book was amazing and her yestimony will help others i promise you that....God comfort and hold her during this season of healing 😢
Just bought a hard back book from Amazon, I'm own page 27, what a amazing author,lord have mercy jess, beautiful voice,great dancer, can play any instrument, writes her own songs. Is their anything you can't do? God gave you blessings. I'll pray he will help heal the nightmares that Toby did.Much love to you and your husband. Just and old women from the south.😊❤
She is so brave to tell her story. I love this very talented family, so tragic, that they were controlled and abused!
Not only is she musically gifted she is also a beautiful writer leaving the reader mesmerized with her words. Such a sad story. I hope her father rots in prison for what’s he’s done to his family.
😢💓 Wow! She is super brave and an amazing example of working on her trauma and working on getting back to her true authentic self. ❤️
Her dad sounds very narcissistic and manipulative. It sounds like he made her to be the scapegoat. I've been a scapegoat with a narcissist too. It's an awful abusive environment. So sorry to hear that she experienced these forms of abuse.
I found this after watching your interview with Preacher Boys. This interview is great too. Every one has a little something different. I didn't grow up in this world/culture but I can definitely relate to having to deconstruct relationships of co-dependency and improper enmeshment. Also, with having an ideal of your parents that was never real. I think this happens a lot if you grow up in an abusive family structure, even if those structures and types of abuse are different. You mentioned something towards the end about a sense of guilt or responsibility for how long you stayed. For what it's worth, that doesn't lie with you.
Oh my godness, Jessica, I hope you know, you didn't do anything! You didn't let things get worse! It wasn't you at all! It was all his responsibility! Not yours! Never, to no moment!
As he hit you, you got pulled back to the kids stage. You took your chance as soon as you could! You were so brave!
I admire what you did. Behind my words is my own story. Just that you know, that I know what I am talking about!
I absolutely LOVE that she said "fine Satan is my master" thats the sass we need!!!!
So thankful they feel free to speak out. Such an important part in the healing journey.
So good! I have always enjoyed Jessica’s singing voice but this voice, her voice of truth was mesmerizing. Can’t wait for part 2
Soo get "help is at the door". Can't even express how that feeling resonated.
Just got done with Pt 2.. What an amazing interview. ❤️ So much grit and hope and genuine interest in one another's stories. So cool.
Jessica is so talented and so beautiful. I’m so glad she is doing better. I was following her family’s journey and was so rocked when it all blew up. Her brother Jackson is my favorite and I hope he is doing well too. Looking forward to the next installment.
Can so see this in my mom was always right and how hard wired I am about her being right.
Thank you for sharing this!
Inmates don’t treat child rapists very well, to put it mildly. Mr. Willis is in for some hard times!
He will be in protective custody. That’s what they do with these crimes. He will have a one hour day out of his cell and the inmates won’t be around.
Fundamental Baptists churches be careful i went to one for yrs
I would have liked to hear more from Jessica and less interruptions from the host. Also didn't appreciate the swearing.
Too much talking from the host.
Swearing is normal in adult conversation.
@sarahruiz1869, no, it's not. I'm 45. Mature people don't usually swear in conversation, especially in a professional or formal setting such as this.
@@Kristenm28no need to judge. Let people be themselves. It’s not your job to monitor other people’s vocabulary.
Don't blame God, but God gave humans FREE WILL, which means YOU decide good or evil.
A few minutes in and we are waiting for questions. She is brave.
Question at this time
Did mother divorce Toby? Why was mother afraid to seek help ?
The title says TCL’s show but it’s TLC ( The Learning Channel) actually- besides that it’s a very interesting interview
They was on the tlc show
The problem with people in Christianity is that people take an abusive, evil individual like Toby Willis and equate them with God and the church. Toby and God are no where near alike in any sense. Jessica struggles just to come out & say that her dad was a power and control freak and dominated his daughter because he could, and manipulating her made him validate his behavior and weak sense of self. Jessica needs to stop trying to talk in generalized, nebulous terms and just call it and Toby what it was....wrong and evil. God and the church get a bad rap when evil men call themselves good inside the guise of the church.
I don't think she can fully let her dad go until she let's her mom go. Her mom was also responsible. 😢
Gosh I hope she finds D.L. Mayfield. They have a new Substack called STRONGWILLED that has been SO helpful for me. I recognize the way she is talking. Very similar background beliefs and now on the same path of healing. It sounds like she has come all the way out. There are MANY of us. There is so much meats around our similar memories.
The host is blind to the religious abuse. He doesn’t “blame the church”???? Really???
Wow, I love the map analogy!
I wish she could understand that. She is not the one who let it get that bad. I wish I could talk to her. I think she would like to talk to me. Because we have nearly identical stories. I think she herself would be shocked how close...
Yes what the bible is correct and what God says is right but he gives us free choice and that's where things go crazy is alot of churches want to control you. It needs to be your choice to accept it.
Would he please be quiet.
God is only good. There is no evil or sin in Him. He is what your father was meant to be filled with without any mixture of evil or uncleanliness.
Humans were created in God’s spirit-image and likeness , to think like Him and with Him but Adam and Eve sinned and became one together with created beings and experienced both good and evil. We were only supposed to know goodness from oneness with God.
When we repent of our sins and receive Christ’s Holy Spirit we are joined to the Lord and restored to God’s favor again. There is so much good and encouraging and strengthening and empowering in scripture that you’ve never heard. I pray that you hear the truth in the love it was spoken from. It was spoken by such a loving Father that sent His Son to take away all our sin and sickness and grief, and to comfort us by His indwelling Spirit. Don’t give up on Him. He hasn’t given up on you❣️
ps wondered what happened to your Dad.....??? and his Dad before him?? All in the name of Religion....all religions....
How does she give her mum a pass when she should of protected her .
Because abuse breaks every one down to feel helpless and broken.... adults and children alike. She not innocent and she holds culpability, however, to understand the damage abuse and opr3ssion does to the mind is critical.
Her mom was a victim of abuse .
Should HAVE. Not should OF.
Her mom is just as manipulative
Im Scottish Catholic from Glasgow,,,,,,lrish grandparents.....but please guys stop pushing the GOD word,,,,,,my higher power or who l percieve this to be.......religion,,,brilliant,,,,,faith brilliant.....but every time l see war,,,or sexual abuse nutters its always God says its fine????
It's a mistake to think the church uses theories for a better system, hoping it will work out. It is based on a vision of religion that was never right from the start as MEN was always in power and always right, and women have to submit. They know and didn't care. For me, because I was raised by bad ass women yet still in a very demented upbringing would've killed my husband if he had touched my child. Period. The first thing I told him was that you never touch my child in any abusive way. I have no problem with a man leading the problem to make a man the all mighty powers one God representation on earth. And that's how those religions are set up. Has nothing to do with a God.
There are things of God and things of the Devil and things of Daffy Duck. These are often made to look like the other........
Poor god my ASS. He can defend himself, why doesnt he? Nope.
Far be it for a man to say a women's uterus is begging for mercy!
He's probably not wrong when she's had 11 kids!!! Good grief. Offended much?
The WV joke was so out of touch, disgusting. Will never watch this guy/channel again. It wasn’t about the guest at all. The bad language and a lot of taking Our Lords name in vain for the title of the channel.
