His speaking engagements and adventures take him all over the world, including filming a documentary with a Stone Age Indian tribe in the Amazon Jungle with missionary Steve Saint. Jimmy is a strong advocate of conservation, and he has been interviewed on many radio and television talk shows including Fox News with Gretchen Carlson, and on multiple occasions by MSNBC. Jimmy also serves as a spokesperson for several non-profit organizations, including 30 years for Compassion International – a child development organization that cares for over 1.5 million children in 26 Third World countries.

In 2015, Jimmy began writing country music songs and has had 6 songs recorded by artists, including “Enough Left for Tonight” co-written with songwriter-of-the-year Jimmy Yeary (“I Drive Your Truck”) and recorded by the Henningsens. His latest song recorded by an artist was written about his father Carroll Sites and is called “Wedding Day” – in reference to his father’s passing from earth to heaven. This song is scheduled to be released to radio this year and was recorded by Bobby and Teddie Cyrus. Jimmy writes and records the majority of the music for his television shows.

He is married to Amanda Mullens (married May 1984), and they have two biological children, Christin (born August 1989) and Jonathan (born January 1992). Jimmy and Amanda also offered their home to 18-year-old Mary Kirby, and she lived with the Sites family until she married at the age of 23. Jimmy and Amanda live in a log lodge on the edge of a wooded hollow just north of Nashville, Tennessee. Their home church is the Northfield Church in Gallatin, Tennessee, where Jimmy teaches a weekly Bible class, helps with the men’s ministry, and leads an in-home LIFE group.
