Brantley Gilbert Gets Honest About Addiction, Fatherhood & the Man He Used to Be on God's Country
Season 3
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 01:18:31
Brantley Gilbert joins The Brothers Hunt for one of the most honest and funniest conversations ever recorded in God’s Country.
Brantley opens up about the addiction that nearly controlled his life, revealing why he never drank simply to have fun—he drank to quiet the noise. He shares what finally pushed him toward sobriety, what Keith Urban told him about performing sober, and the unforgettable advice Toby Keith gave him when he needed to fight his way forward.
The boys also dig into Brantley’s new album, Sins of the Father, including the fear that inspired its title track, his prayer that his children won’t have to pay for his past, and how becoming a husband and father completely changed his priorities. Brantley also shares the powerful story behind “Beggin’ for Change” with Jelly Roll and explains why addiction doesn’t care who you are or where you come from.
Of course, it wouldn’t be God’s Country without some chaos. Brantley reveals why he broke out an American-flag Speedo on a family beach trip, defends Luke Bryan from his critics, reacts to the Mandela Effect, and explains why winning over ten strangers in a bar can be harder than performing for 30,000 people.
This episode has it all: addiction, recovery, faith, fatherhood, country music, hunting stories and plenty of redneck nonsense.
Brantley Gilbert’s new album, Sins of the Father, arrives July 24.

Jo Dee Messina on Running Away, Finding Jesus & Surviving Fame on God's Country Podcast
Season 3
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 01:16:49
Jo Dee Messina joins Reid and Dan Isbell, The Brothers Hunt, on God’s Country for one of the most unforgettable conversations they've had.
For the first time, Jo Dee tells the wild story of being sent to boarding school at 13, running away, ending up in Mexico, attempting to cross the border alone, and eventually being escorted home by an air marshal — a story she says she’s never told before.
But this episode goes far beyond the crazy stories.
Jo Dee opens up about her faith, motherhood, raising two boys, cutting toxic people out of her life, the pressure and “crush” of fame, and why she believes stepping away from time with God is never worth the success on the other side. She also shares the heart behind Broom Tree Haven, her vision for creating a safe place where artists, athletes, and people in the public eye can escape the pressure, reconnect with their families, and remember who God created them to be.
Plus, Jo Dee talks about her new album Bridges, her journey from a scrappy kid in Massachusetts to one of country music’s most iconic voices, getting her car repossessed so many times she knew the repo guy, and the grassroots hustle that helped launch her career.
This one is funny, raw, faith-filled, and full of stories you’ve never heard before.
Subscribe to God’s Country for more conversations at the intersection of country music, the outdoors, faith, family, and the stories behind the songs.
