Submit ReviewApril Fools’ Day: A Day of Tricks—But Don’t Be Deceived. April Fools’ Day has been around for centuries, but its origins are a little murky. Some say it started in 1582 when France switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, moving the New Year from April 1st to January 1st. Those who didn’t get the memo—or refused to accept the change—were mocked and tricked, earning the title of “April fools.” Others trace it back to ancient Roman festivals where deception and pranks were part of the celebration. Either way, it’s a day built on fooling people, making them believe something that isn’t true.
Yesterday, I played along. On social media, I teased that Other People’s Shoes was coming to an end and that the time had come for a change. It was just a joke, but for a moment, some believed it. And that got me thinking—how often do we believe the lies we’re told?
Because the truth is, deception isn’t just for one day a year. It’s happening all around us, every single day.
Our Children Are Under Attack
Right now, our young people are being fed lies—about their identity, their worth, their purpose. They’re told they can define their own truth, that faith is outdated, that they don’t belong. And many parents are left feeling helpless, believing another dangerous lie: there’s nothing they can do.
My guest, Debra McNinch, knows this battle all too well.
For her, one phone call changed everything. She had raised her family in faith, yet one of her children took a path she never expected. Fear, shame, and heartbreak followed. She wondered where she went wrong, and questioned if she had failed as a mother. But then she learned the most powerful truth of all:
God is not done writing their story.
In Battle Cry, Debra shares how to:
Develop a focused daily prayer plan to lay your prodigal at Jesus’ feet.
Let go of your imagined “fairy-tale” life and trust God with your reality.
Overcome the shame of not raising perfect Christian children.
Her motto is simple: NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE.
This is a wake-up call. The enemy wants us to believe our prodigals are too far gone, that prayer doesn’t work, that hope is lost. But that’s just another trick.
Who will rise up? Who will answer the call to stand in the gap, to battle in prayer, to intercede for our sons and daughters?
Satan may think he’s won, but the battle isn’t over. God is still in control, and our prodigals are coming home.
Buy Battle Cry click here today and pray your prodigal home. Join me as I walk in Debra’s shoes.

Imagine this for a moment: it’s Saturday afternoon. The week has been long, and you’ve finally carved out some time for yourself. You’re in your favorite cozy spot in the living room—maybe it’s the couch that perfectly hugs you or that recliner that’s seen better days but feels just right. You’ve got the TV on, ready to catch up on your favorite show, and for a moment, everything feels perfect.
💠
And then it happens.
Alexa’s voice cuts through your peaceful bubble: “Someone is at the front door.”
💠
Annoyed, you groan, thinking, “Who could it be now?” Maybe it’s a neighbor, or worse—a salesperson. You grudgingly get up, annoyed at the interruption. You’re already rehearsing your response in your head: “No, I’m not interested. I don’t care what you’re selling!”
💠
As you peek out the window, you realize it’s not a salesperson. It’s worse.
💠
Standing there are two people with smiles too wide for comfort, clutching those unmistakable pamphlets. You mutter to yourself, “Jehovah’s Witnesses. Great.” Your mind flashes to Sam from work—you know, the one who’s always leaving those flyers around the breakroom. You can’t help but roll your eyes.
💠
Now, you’re faced with a dilemma. Do you answer the door? Or do you pretend you’re not home and wait them out?
💠
My guest today, Nathan, has a unique perspective on this situation. He’s a second-generation Jehovah’s Witness who made the bold decision to leave the Kingdom Hall behind—a choice that came with enormous consequences. Why did he leave? What was it like to walk away from a faith that had been part of his family for generations?
Nathan’s story is one of courage, heartbreak, and rediscovery. There’s a reason he’s chosen not to share his last name, and as you’ll hear, his journey is as eye-opening as it is powerful.
💠
So, are you ready to find out what it’s really like to step away from a faith so deeply rooted in your identity? To hear the story of someone who chose to walk a different path despite the odds?

💔 Abortion. A word that carries weight, controversy, pain, and shame. It’s a topic often whispered about, avoided in conversation, or shrouded in judgment. But what happens when the shame isn't just about the choice—but about who you are? This week, my guest, Tonya Bailey Jones, shares her powerful journey of self-discovery—one that took decades to fully embrace. For much of her life, she struggled with her identity, unable to confidently say the words: I am Tonya Bailey Jones. But today, she not only says them—she knows and loves who she is. From childhood, Tonya felt like an outsider, never truly accepted for who she was. As she moved through adulthood, she became a version of herself shaped by the validation of others—playing the role she thought she was supposed to. The distractions of military service, parenting, and everyday responsibilities allowed her to bury the unease deep inside. But when retirement brought stillness, its weight became undeniable. She could no longer outrun “the feeling.” The mask she had worn for so long began to crumble. Join us as Tonya opens up about the deep shame, the search for identity, and the moment she finally embraced her true self. Her story is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the courage to face the person in the mirror. 👟 Join me as I walk in Tonya’s shoes.

Loathing...The Duke vs. UNC rivalry is the sports equivalent of Loathing from Wicked—a relationship built on deep-seated animosity, unwavering contempt, and just a hint of begrudging respect. Much like Elphaba and Glinda’s cutting yet strangely harmonious duet, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils are forever intertwined, each defining the other through decades of battles on the hardwood. Every season, the Cameron Crazies' sneers and the Dean Dome’s roars echo the song’s theatrical vitriol—"Every little trait, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl!"—a sentiment any UNC fan can relate to when spotting Duke’s blue and white on the court. My guest today is Andy Bagwell. Andy Bagwell, co-author of Duke Sucks: A Completely Even-Handed, Unbiased Investigation into the Most Evil Team on Planet Earth, captured this dynamic perfectly, dissecting Duke’s infamous flopping, smug superiority, and, of course, their uncanny ability to get every foul call.
But in true Other People’s Shoes fashion, what happens if we step back and examine this rivalry from another angle? The loathing, after all, is what makes it great—what fuels the passion, the unforgettable moments, the pure ecstasy of victory and the gut-wrenching agony of defeat. Without Duke, there is no UNC dominance; without UNC, there is no Duke villainy. Just as Elphaba and Glinda’s friction drives Wicked’s story forward, this rivalry elevates college basketball itself. It’s a hatred that, deep down, every fan secretly loves. Because in the end, while loathing may be the foundation, the rivalry itself is pure magic. Join me as I step into Andy's shoes.

Which would you rather indulge in, lemons or tamales? I feel like it's a pretty easy choice, right? Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. Sometimes, it feels like all we have are lemons—sour, bitter, and hard to swallow. But what if, instead of making lemonade, we made something heartier, something rich with culture, love, and perseverance—like tamales? In this episode, I sit down with Leslie Alvarez, a woman whose life is a testament to resilience, hustle, and the power of staying true to oneself. From a young age, Leslie learned the value of hard work and determination. Whether it was selling homemade oatmeal cookies to buy a bike or making tamales to support her family, she embraced the philosophy: “Where there is a will, there is always a way.” This mantra has carried her through some of life’s toughest moments. Leslie’s journey is one of incredible highs and devastating lows—financial struggles, relationship breakdowns, health crises, and career setbacks. She has faced them all, from early motherhood and divorce to job loss and a terrifying incident involving her son. Yet, through every storm, she chose to rise, using each hardship as fuel for growth and transformation. Leslie reminds us that while life may hand us lemons, we can turn them into something meaningful. Whether it’s tamales, a new career, or a fresh perspective, there is always a way forward. Join me as I walk in Leslie’s shoes.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
The Power of Hustle: How a strong work ethic and creative problem-solving helped Leslie push through tough times.
Overcoming Adversity: Facing challenges head-on, from financial struggles to personal losses, and emerging stronger.
Authenticity as Strength: The importance of staying true to oneself in a world that often pressures us to wear masks.
Finding Hope in Hardship: Why struggles can be a catalyst for transformation rather than a reason to give up.

Mary Beth’s journey has been anything but easy. After years in the corporate world, balancing life as a single mom while battling addictions to alcohol, food, and toxic relationships, she realized something had to change.

Now, as a certified coach, she helps others break free from limiting beliefs and destructive cycles by applying the correct principles of the Law of Attraction—going beyond just “positive thinking” to become the deliberate creators of their own lives truly.
In our conversation, Mary Beth shared:👁️🗨️ How she turned her biggest struggles into stepping stones for success🌟 Why so many people misunderstand the Law of Attraction—and how to use it effectively💡 The power of taking quantum leaps instead of baby steps toward your dreams🛤️ Practical tools you can apply immediately to shift your mindset and transform your reality
If you’ve ever felt stuck in self-sabotage, struggled with addiction, or wondered how to attract the life you truly desire, this episode will give you a new perspective—an X-Ray view—into what’s possible when you embrace personal transformation.

In this heartfelt episode of Other People's Shoes, I sit down with my good friend Mike Oppenheim from the podcast Coffin Talk. Mike has become a true friend in this podcasting space, and today he shares a deeply personal journey about anger, grief, and missing his son. He opens up about the invisible weight he carries—how, on the outside, you might not see the pain etched into his heart, but it's always there, shaping his days. Mike's story is a raw, emotional exploration of love, loss, and the resilience it takes to move forward. Through our conversation, we unpack the layers of his grief, understanding how it intertwines with hope and the belief in eventual reunion. As part of this episode, I wrote a poem titled Tomorrow, inspired by Mike's experience. It captures the enduring love of a father for his son, the ache of absence, and the unwavering hope for a reunion. Join me as I try on Mike's shoes.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow, I'll think of you just like today,With echoes of laughter that never fade away.Your name is carved deep within my chest,A sacred place where my heart finds rest.
Tomorrow, I'll stand by the door you once passed,Holding onto memories I pray will last.Not out of anger, not out of blame,But love unshaken, still burning the same.
Tomorrow, I'll sit in the room made for you,Though you've never seen it, it's always felt true.Walls whispering stories we never got through,Pillow untouched, sheets still neat,But in my dreams, I hear your feet.
Tomorrow, I'll feel the ache in my chest,Missing your voice, your smile, your jest.Yet hope's gentle whisper calls out to say,There will come our Reunion Day.
Tomorrow, I'll trace the stars in the sky,Imagining you're under the same, close by.Though miles may stretch and time may roam,You’ve never left the heart you call home.
Tomorrow, I'll believe in the thread unseen,Tied between hearts, strong and keen.No distance can break, no silence can sway,The love that grows stronger every day.
Tomorrow, I'll wait with arms open wide,No shadow of anger, just warmth inside.For deep down I know, come what may,We’ll find each other on that bright Reunion Day.
Tomorrow, and every day until then,I'll carry you softly, again and again.Not with sorrow, not with dismay—But with the hope of our tomorrow, lighting the way.
Tomorrow, and always, know this is true,No words could measure how much I love you.
Takeaways from This Episode:
Grief can be hidden beneath the surface; you never know the pain someone carries.
The power of friendship and authentic conversations in healing.
How hope can coexist with grief, offering a light in the darkest moments.
Connect with Mike Oppenheim:Listen to Coffin Talk wherever you get your podcasts.

Buffalos have a unique instinct when facing storms—they don’t run away like other animals; instead, they charge directly into the storm. By doing this, they minimize their time in harsh conditions and emerge stronger on the other side. In life, we are constantly faced with challenges, and just like the buffalo, we have a choice: we can run from adversity and prolong our struggles, or we can face difficulties head-on, knowing that growth lies beyond the storm. Jill Ogle, a guest on Other People's Shoes, shares this powerful message of transformation, encouraging others to embrace life’s storms rather than run from them. Like the buffalo running into the storm, you have the power to transform your current reality into one of harmony and success. We believe in the power of synchronicity and know that you have found us for a reason. When the student is ready, the teacher appears, and your time for transformation is now. Step into the storm with courage, embrace all that you are, and watch as you emerge stronger than ever. Join me I try on Jill's sandals.

Thank you for walking alongside me on this journey—whether you’ve been here since day one or just laced up your shoes to join the adventure.
Reflecting on the Journey
Over the last six years, Other People’s Shoes has become more than just a podcast; it’s become a community. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the support of so many amazing people:
My family — To my wife, Elizabeth, and our family, thank you for your endless encouragement and love. You’ve been my rock and biggest cheerleader.

Welcome to Season 19 of Other People's Shoes titled "X-Ray."
💠
This season, I’m diving into the theme of X-Ray "sight beyond sight," exploring the unseen damage and resilience in our lives. It’s about uncovering what lies beneath the surface, understanding our struggles, and discovering the beauty in how God works through even the most challenging moments. As I embark on this journey, let these words resonate with you: "While I'm waiting, I will serve You. While I'm waiting, I will worship. While I'm waiting, I will not faint. I'll be running the race even while I wait." Today, I’m honored to welcome my guest, Kim Patton, author of the book Nothing Wasted: Struggling Well Through Difficult Seasons. Difficult seasons catch us off guard and make us feel like life won’t ever make sense again. On my worst days, it’s hard to believe that God will guide me through the mess. Even on my good days, when I feel I have done all the right things, I sometimes wonder: Why am I working this job? Am I making a difference? How do I know the way to go? Why can’t I seem to be content? In Nothing Wasted, Kim Patton takes us on a journey of hope and faith. She shows how we mature over time, how like fog dissipating, we begin to see how God gently leads us through each season of our lives. We may be struggling, but we are moving forward. My faith is not unseen. My moments are not wasted. All the pain that comes in these seasons does lead to a full, rich life, growing in relationship with God and with others. Kim’s story and insights are a powerful reminder that even when life is falling apart, God is still at work, weaving a story of redemption and purpose. Do you embrace difficult seasons and trust that nothing is wasted in God’s hands? Join me as I walk in Kim's shoes.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Other People's Shoes! 🎄
This holiday season, we have one last gift for you to unwrap. Continuing what has become a beloved tradition, Garrett joins Neil to reflect on the previous six years of the show in this special season finale of Homecoming—the 18th season of Other People's Shoes. Get ready for laughter, reflection, and a bit of holiday cheer as Garrett quizzes Neil in a way only he can.
As we wrap up another incredible year, let me ask you:
- Are you still waiting to take flight on something that’s been holding you back?
- Have you written that letter to that one person yet?
- Do you feel at home—safe, seen, and loved?
Here’s the beautiful truth: as long as you’re breathing, there’s still time.
- Time for one more hug.
- Time for one more “I’m sorry.”
- Time for one more coffee date.
- Time to forgive.
As we close the chapter on 2024, know this: we’re here to serve you with stories that inspire, encourage, and remind you that walking in other people’s shoes truly gives you a new perspective on life.
Thank you for walking with us this year. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and we’ll see you in 2025 as we step into Season 19: X-Ray to uncover the “sight beyond sight.”
What’s the greatest Christmas gift you’ve ever received? For many, it might have been a pony or a horse—a dream for countless children. For our guest Kim Tschirret, founder of Hope Reins in Raleigh, horses were more than a gift; they were a lifeline. Growing up in a home marked by her father’s alcoholism and a lack of unconditional love, Kim found solace and safety in her horse. While her father prioritized performance and horse shows, Kim longed for a deeper bond—a relationship that planted the seeds for Hope Reins. Today, Hope Reins is a ministry that "Inspires True Hope and Real Healing," offering a place where children and families can encounter Jesus, who meets them in their brokenness and brings restoration. For Kim, the journey of founding Hope Reins has brought her personal healing and a profound experience of God’s love. This growing community of grace is making a tangible impact across the Triangle and beyond, providing a space where love, healing, and transformation come to life. Saddle up!

What is your favorite Christmas Movie? One of my favorites has to be "It's A Wonderful Life". In *It's a Wonderful Life*, George Bailey discovers his worth and the profound impact of his life on others. Guided by an angel, he sees a world without his influence, realizing how deeply his choices matter. Similarly, *Homecoming*, the 18th season of *Other People’s Shoes*, explores returning to places of safety and belonging, reminding us of the unseen value of our lives and connections. This idea resonates with John Graham and the Good Samaritan Home, a non-profit that has been offering ex-offenders housing and support since 2001. From one remodeled house to 17 homes in Dayton, Ohio, they’ve helped over 1,000 people rebuild their lives through faith and kindness. Just as George learns that brokenness can lead to redemption, the Good Samaritan Home shows that broken lives, like broken houses, can be restored. Join me as I walk in John Graham’s boots.

Who do you need a hug from today? Take a moment and read that sentence again: *Who do you need a hug from today?* Now, think carefully—who was the first person that came to mind? Say their name out loud. Chances are, it’s someone you hold close to your heart, someone who means the world to you. It’s probably not someone you hold resentment or disdain toward, is it? Hugs, after all, symbolize connection, care, and a shared moment of vulnerability. My guest today is Jennifer Sakata, someone who understands the deep power of grace in everyday life. Jennifer invites you and me to step into a place she calls "the corner of real grace for real life." It’s a neighborhood where forgiveness, belonging, empowerment, and faith aren’t just concepts—they’re alive and thriving. Join me as we lace up Jennifer’s shoes and walk alongside her story. Let’s explore how grace can reshape our lives, relationships, and even the way we think about who we need a hug from today.

What would your life look like if you could take control of your happiness and choose joy daily? My guest today, Dannie De Novo, has explored this question and shares her journey in her book, *Get in a Good Mood & Stay There.* After battling a deep spiritual depression and facing numerous setbacks, Dannie refused to let life happen to her. Instead, she developed a systematic approach to reclaim her mindset, overcome adversity, and design the fulfilling life she had always envisioned. This book is more than a guide; it’s a personal tour through the exercises and insights that transformed her attitude and opened the door to lasting happiness. If happiness feels like a moving target, perhaps it’s time to step into these shoes—are you ready? Join me as I walk in Dannie's shoes.

Have you ever allowed yourself to dream? Picture this: a genie appears, offering you three wishes. But there are conditions—no asking for love, no bringing back the dead, and no wishing for more wishes. It makes you wonder. What three things would you choose if you had three chances to get something special into your life? Now and then, life gives us moments that feel like a wish fulfilled—an experience so surreal, it’s like magic. For me, that moment came on November 11, 2023, at the North Carolina vs. Duke football game. The night was alive with 50,500 fans packed into Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. The stands were a sea of Carolina blue, buzzing with excitement as the Tar Heels and Blue Devils went head-to-head in one of the fiercest rivalries in college sports. The game had all the intensity of a dream: heart-stopping plays, tense moments, and nail-biting suspense. And just when it seemed like the Tar Heels' hopes might fade, Noah Burnette, today’s guest, stepped up as time expired, lining up for a 42-yard field goal. The ball sailed just inside the right upright, tying the game at 36 and sending it into overtime. The stadium exploded. As the clock ticked down and North Carolina clinched the win, 47-45, it felt like I was living a storybook ending—one I’ll never forget. The whole weekend was more than a game; it was a trip of a lifetime, an experience that will always be one of my "three wishes come true." Today, I get to relive it all through Noah’s eyes. So join me as I walk in Noah's shoes, sharing this unforgettable moment that left an indelible mark on my heart.

When was the last time you remodeled a room? My guest today is Dr. Merry C. Linn PhD. Imagine you're remodeling a room in your house—a space where old paint, cluttered shelves, and outdated furniture no longer feel like "you." The process begins by stripping away layers, revealing what lies beneath them. Similarly, in life, finding our true selves isn't just about adding layers; it's about "unbecoming" what we believed we had to be to feel accepted and loved, and "rebecoming" who we truly are, as Dr. Merry C. Lin explores in her transformative book. Just as a room remodel requires intentional effort to create a space that reflects our true taste and purpose, rebecoming our essential, God-given selves requires peeling back the fear-driven habits and self-protection mechanisms that keep us from authentic joy and resilience. Understanding our motivations, identifying patterns rooted in fear, and building resilience parallels the careful choice of new paint, furniture, and décor that fit the life we want to live. It’s a journey to re-create our inner spaces, find the courage to pursue dreams with integrity, and ultimately fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. Join me as I try on Dr. Merry's shoes.

What does this election season mean to you? On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Americans across the nation will head to the polls amidst a backdrop that feels as fractured as ever. Tensions run high as pressing issues reveal deep divisions, shaping an election season that underscores a United States that feels, in many ways, like a house divided. Questions about our collective values, the nation's future, and the fundamental direction we're heading are high, and every vote is vital. My guest, Josh Lewis, joins me in unpacking the importance of voting this season and why making your voice heard matters more than ever. But perhaps the question on everyone’s mind is, who is Josh voting for? Join me as I walk in Josh's shoes.

When was the last time you were humbled? This week on the podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Rick Romano, whose heart for serving others has taken him and his family to the Dominican Republic, where they are building sustainable communities in the northern region of El Cibao. Rick’s mission, rooted in the teachings of Christ and inspired by Matthew 25:35-36, calls on us to love those in need. He’s dedicated himself to this by providing struggling communities with clean water, food, healthcare, and job training. But his work goes beyond just meeting immediate needs—planting churches and empowering individuals through these practical solutions. Rick believes that building a home for someone less fortunate isn’t an impossible task; it’s an act of love that can transform lives, embodying the call to live beyond ourselves. Join me as I try on Rick's shoes.

When was the last time you opened a box? What was inside? Marriage is like unpacking boxes in life—each box represents a different aspect of the journey, filled with experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth. My guest today is Tammy Cox. Tammy is here to share with us why marriage can be difficult. However, it doesn't have to be. Just as we carefully unpack a box, revealing its contents piece by piece, in a healthy marriage, we uncover layers of ourselves, our emotions, and our needs. Some boxes hold joyous memories or shared accomplishments, while others contain challenges that must be handled with care. A strong marriage involves the willingness to open these boxes together, communicate openly about their contents, and support each other in sorting through them, whether they are filled with joy or hardship. Just like unpacking, it requires patience, teamwork, and commitment to keep things organized and moving forward. In doing so, couples build a deeper understanding and bond, creating a home where love and trust grow stronger with each box they unpack. Join me as I try on Tammy's shoes.

When was the last time you had to check the "other" box during a survey? Social Identity Theory, developed by Henri Tajfel in the 1970s, explains how people define themselves through group memberships like nationality or religion. This often leads to favoritism toward one’s in-group and distancing from out-groups, fostering stereotypes and discrimination. When we "Other" people—seeing them as outsiders—we lose compassion and focus on differences instead of shared humanity, reinforcing division. This issue is both psychological and spiritual. God's people are called to bless and care for the marginalized, yet misuse of power often causes harm. My guest today is Jenai Auman. Jenai, work offers hope to those who feel "Othered" by the church, reminding them that God sees and loves the outcast, even when the church fails to. Join me as I walk in Jenai's shoes.

Did you ever do this? I remember when my daughter, Adia, was younger, my wife and I would stand her up against a wall at GGma’s house—my wife’s grandmother—and measure her height. As we sold the house, I wondered what the new owners would think of those marks. My guest today is Mark Collins, and he reflects on how those marks, much like childhood height measurements, serve as symbols of growth. For many men, masculinity can feel like an elusive mark, always shifting just beyond reach, as though no matter how hard we try to stand tall, we’re told we don’t measure up. Society often defines what it means to be a man, but like the faded lines on the wall, our value isn’t found in those measurements. Real growth happens in the unseen spaces, where true strength isn’t about height, but depth of character.

EPISODE 300...The journey of a singer-songwriter is often filled with challenges that go beyond the glamorous image portrayed by reality TV shows like *The Voice*, *American Idol*, and *America's Got Talent*. While these platforms promise fame and fortune, the reality is that they often don't deliver lasting success. True artistry and recognition take years of dedication, perseverance, and frequently, the road less traveled. My guest today, Wilkes, has navigated this complex world, finding his voice through mainstream avenues Wilkes was when in the Christian band "Disciple." Join me as I walk in his shoes and explore the highs and lows of his musical journey.

What does it mean to find yourself truly? For many, it's about coming home to who you are and finding peace in your own skin. This journey of self-discovery is invaluable, allowing you to live authentically and confidently, free from external pressures. A trusted confidant can be a key part of this process, whether it’s a loyal dog, a cherished stuffed animal, or even a journal. These companions provide comfort and a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions. Today’s guest, Barbara Thompson, knows this journey well. As the founder of Self-Care Studios in Australia, she brings a unique perspective on coming home to oneself. With four years of experience in guiding others through this process, Barbara offers fresh insights into the deeply personal yet universally transformative path of self-acceptance.

PLEASE TAKE DISCRETION IN LISTENING TODAY, IF RAPE AND MURDER ARE IN YOUR BACKGROUND. What would happen if you were wrongly accused of something? Has that ever happened? My guest today is Jeff Deskovic was wrongfully imprisoned for 16 years, from the age of 17 to 32, for a rape and murder he did not commit. The injustice of losing his youth to a crime he never committed had a profound impact on his life. His wrongful conviction not only stripped him of his freedom during the critical years of his young adulthood but also left deep emotional scars. The time he spent behind bars shaped his worldview, altering the course of his life in ways that can never be fully repaired. Upon his release, Jeff faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding a life that had been unjustly stolen from him, grappling with the lingering effects of trauma, lost opportunities, and the struggle to find his place in a world that had moved on without him.

SEASON FINALE OF DEAR...
When was the last time you attended a funeral or a celebration of life service? Over the years, I've found myself in those seats many times. I wish I could say it gets easier each time, but unfortunately, it doesn’t. During these moments, I often reflect on what I could have or should have said. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.
At one of these services, the pastor shared words of encouragement that stayed with me, and I hope they resonate with you too: love the ones you're with, hug the ones you can, miss the ones you should, but sometimes, we ultimately have to let them go—not from our hearts, but from our grasp.
As we wrap up this season of Other People's Shoes, we look forward to sharing more stories with you in the fall.
👟
Miss Me, But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little—but not for long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take
And each must go alone;
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
👟
Looking forward to next week as we start season 18 called "Homecoming"

Think about marriage for a moment. Who is a could that you know that has been married the longest. Three days ago my wife Elizabeth and I just celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. My guest today is Kyle Jetsel. Kyle shares losing his wife of 30 years felt like the world stopped spinning for Kyle—a void that seemed impossible to fill. The silence in the house was deafening, the weight of her absence almost unbearable. Yet, in the depths of that pain, Kyle knew he had to find a way forward—not just for himself, but for their children and the legacy they had built together. He chose to find strength in the love they shared, letting that love fuel his days instead of his grief. Kyle began to focus on living a life that honored her memory, finding reasons to smile again, to breathe deeply, and to inspire others to cherish every moment with their loved ones. Through this journey, he realized that the best way to honor her was to live fully, love well, and leave a legacy that their children could carry forward—a legacy of resilience, kindness, and an unshakable belief in the power of love. Join me as I walk in Kyle's pearl white Lebron James signature shoes.

What is something that you absolutely, can't stand? I tried once making a list. If you were to make a list where would grief fall in the rankings? My guest today is Chelsea Ohlemiller. She wrote this brand new book called "Now That She's Gone". Chelsea is here to share her story about grief. Grief is profoundly challenging to cope with because it encompasses a wide range of intense emotions, from deep sorrow and anger to confusion and guilt. This emotional turbulence often arises from the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or an unfulfilled dream, leading to a sense of emptiness and helplessness. The process of grieving disrupts our daily lives, impacting our mental and physical health. To navigate through grief, it is essential to allow oneself to feel and express these emotions rather than suppressing them. Seeking support from friends, family, or professional counselors can provide comfort and understanding. Additionally, engaging in self-care practices, such as maintaining a routine, exercising, and finding creative outlets, can help in gradually rebuilding one's life and finding a new sense of normalcy. Recognizing that grief is a personal journey and giving oneself the grace and time to heal is crucial. Join me as we walk in Chelsea's shoes.

Where were you on July 20, 1984? That was the day The movie "The NeverEnding Story" was released in the United States. My guest today is Nancy Bruscher. Nancy believes wholeheartedly in the fact that there is power in your story. The power of remembering and sharing your story lies in the profound connection it fosters between individuals and generations. Each person's life is a tapestry woven with experiences, lessons, and values that are uniquely theirs. These stories are not only a testament to their journey but also a beacon of wisdom and resilience for others. When we share our stories, we affirm our value and humanity, offering insights that can inspire, guide, and comfort us. Future generations, in particular, need to remember our family stories, for they are the custodians of our legacy. By preserving these narratives, they gain a deeper understanding of their roots, a sense of belonging, and the strength to navigate their own paths. In this way, our stories transcend time, becoming a vital thread in the fabric of our collective human experience. Join me as we walk in Nancy's sandals.

Do you love the story of Winnie the Pooh? My favorite part is the image of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin walking with an umbrella is a powerful depiction of companionship and support. My guest today is Noah Asher. Noah talks about how as they stroll together, the umbrella shields them from the unpredictable elements, symbolizing the protective presence of friendship. Just as the umbrella guards them against the rain, having someone by our side can help us navigate the chaos of life. With its inherent ups and downs, this shared journey becomes more manageable when we have a trusted companion to lean on. The umbrella, much like a steadfast friend, provides comfort and reassurance, reminding us that we are never truly alone in facing life's storms. Join me as we walk in Noah's shoes.

When was the last time you heard the phrase "I know how you feel" My guest today is Cate Purvis. Cate is here to share how she found the strength to get through her miscarriages. Miscarriage is a profoundly difficult experience for women to navigate alone due to the intense emotional, physical, and psychological toll it takes. The grief and sense of loss can be overwhelming, compounded by feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy, even though these feelings are unfounded. Physically, the body undergoes significant changes, and the recovery process can be painful and exhausting. The emotional turmoil can lead to depression, anxiety, and isolation, especially if societal stigmas or lack of understanding prevent open conversations about the loss. The support of loved ones, friends, and professionals is crucial in providing the emotional comfort, validation, and care needed to help women heal and process their grief. Join me as I walk in Cate's shoes.

Take a moment and think about your worst day. Perhaps it was the day you dumped coffee all over yourself right before you walked into work? Maybe it was the day your baby pooped all over your brand-new pants? Or maybe it was a very sad day when a loved one died? All these examples seem dire and even awful. Did your worst day involve your job? I believe one of the hardest jobs is law enforcement. My guest today is Jared Altic. Jared has dedicated his life's work to helping law enforcement. Being in law enforcement is fraught with dangers, making it one of the most dangerous professions. Officers regularly face life-threatening situations, from confronting armed suspects to navigating high-speed pursuits. The risk of physical harm is ever-present, whether during routine traffic stops, domestic disputes, or responding to active crime scenes. Additionally, law enforcement personnel are often targets of violence and may suffer from psychological stress due to the high-stakes nature of their work. The constant exposure to danger and traumatic events can lead to long-term mental health issues, such as PTSD. Despite rigorous training and protective measures, the unpredictable nature of their duties means that law enforcement officers must always remain vigilant, underscoring the significant risks they endure to ensure public safety. Join me as I walk in Jared's shoes.

When is it okay to be angry at God? Is there ever a time you have found yourself in that spot? My guest today is Julie Sunne. You would like by Julie's name that never rains or Julie has never had a bad day. We all know that is completely preposterous. Recovering from five miscarriages and four live births involves a multifaceted approach addressing both emotional and physical well-being. Emotionally, it is essential to seek support from loved ones, therapists, or support groups to navigate the grief and complex emotions associated with loss. Engaging in activities that promote mental health, such as journaling, meditation, or creative pursuits, can also be beneficial. Physically, it is important to work with healthcare providers to ensure proper recovery and address any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to pregnancy loss. Regular check-ups, a balanced diet, exercise, and possibly fertility treatments or interventions might be part of the physical recovery process. Emphasizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, and allowing time for healing are crucial for regaining balance and moving forward. Join me as we delicately walk in Julie's shoes.

Who is the hardest person to believe and trust? My guest today is Tim Stearns. I am guessing his name isn't jumping out to you? Oh wait, wasn't he in that movie "My Blue Heaven" that great 1990 film? Fun fact he was. Sort of...Tim is here to read his letter to Bob his Step-Father that became so much more. Having an earthly father provides invaluable guidance, support, and love, serving as a foundational pillar in one's life. A father shapes a child's understanding of strength, compassion, and responsibility, helping to navigate the complexities of the world. Equally vital, however, is the relationship with our Heavenly Father. Knowing God and putting faith and trust in Jesus Christ is paramount, as He offers the ultimate salvation from sin. Jesus’ sacrifice and teachings provide a path to eternal life, peace, and a profound sense of purpose. Embracing this divine relationship enriches our lives, offering hope and an unshakeable foundation that transcends earthly challenges. Join me as I walk in Tim's shoes.

How do you create a safe space for young people in your life? My guest today is Keri Cooper, LCSW NBCCH. Keri specializes in Holistic Therapy for Teens and Adolescents. Most of us know this right? Teenagers today often struggle to find a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings, a challenge exacerbated by societal pressures, social media scrutiny, and academic stress. Without a supportive environment where they can openly share their emotions without fear of judgment or ridicule, many teens internalize their struggles, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation. Are you creating a safe space for teenagers? Having a safe space is incredibly valuable as it allows teenagers to explore and understand their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience. This nurturing environment fosters open communication, encourages self-expression, and promotes mental well-being, ultimately helping teens navigate the complexities of adolescence with confidence and support. Join me as I walk in Keri's shoes.

What do you do when facing something hard? Do you run from it or charge after the challenge ahead of you? Today my guest is Erin Whalen. Erin shares a very vulnerable letter and the thought process behind writing it.

What comes to mind when you hear or read Africa? Is it that great 80's classic by "Toto" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa. Or is it the people?

Africa, with its diverse population and vast landscape, faces significant healthcare challenges, including limited access to medical supplies and services. MESA (Medical Equipment Supplies and Aid Sharing) addresses these critical needs by gathering and distributing excess medical equipment and supplies to developing countries, ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most. By connecting donated medical resources to local organizations capable of dispensing and sustaining medical assistance, MESA plays a vital role in alleviating suffering and improving health outcomes. This mission is crucial in Africa, where the shortage of medical resources can mean the difference between life and death, and where timely support can empower communities to build stronger, healthier futures.

Have you ever seen a US Flag draped over a coffin? Have you seen the Service personnel fold this flag? I believe this is still one of the most impactful moments of my life, watching this take place is powerful, and emotional. Who is this "next generation" to answer this call to defend and perhaps die for this country? My guest today is Don Mann. Don is a former U.S. Navy SEAL. The U.S. Navy SEALs, officially established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, evolved from the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) of World War II. These elite warriors were created to conduct unconventional warfare, specializing in direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and foreign internal defense. Being a U.S. patriot means embodying the values of courage, dedication, and selflessness, traits exemplified by the SEALs. It's crucial to strive to be stronger, faster, and smarter not just for personal growth, but to serve and protect the nation effectively. Individuals can contribute to a better society by doing something good for others, reflecting the SEALs' commitment to defending freedom and helping those in need.

What are the best two words in the English language? I believe the best two words are "next time". My guest today is Lee Ann Mancini. Lee Ann believes, that parents who choose not to raise their children in the Christian faith may miss out on its rich tapestry of values, traditions, and community. Christianity provides a moral compass and a purpose rooted in love, compassion, and service to others. By instilling these principles, parents can help guide their children through life's challenges and foster a deeper understanding of empathy and kindness. Additionally, the Christian community often provides a supportive network where families can find belonging and encouragement. While each family's beliefs and choices are deeply personal, embracing the teachings of Christianity can offer a profound source of guidance and fulfillment for both parents and children alike. Join me as we try on Lee Ann's Nike shoes.

Imagine just for a second that old familiar sound of the chime, announcing an announcement from the pilot you're just about to drift to sleep, and then all of a sudden you're welcome to an announcement. I have also heard it said change cannot happen overnight, but if I could? What if you could get on a plane go to sleep and wake up a new person in a new destination? My guest today is Ally Murphy. A red-eye flight typically refers to an overnight flight that departs late at night and arrives early in the morning, often characterized by its departure and arrival times coinciding with most people's sleeping hours. These flights are favored by travelers looking to maximize their time at their destination, as they can avoid losing a full day to travel. However, "red-eye" originates from many passengers' tired, bloodshot eyes after a night of limited sleep onboard. Despite the discomfort of sleeping in cramped quarters, these flights can be convenient for business travelers and those seeking to make the most of their vacation days. Join me as we take flight with Ally Murphy.

When grief has you grounded, every step feels like walking through quicksand. The weight of loss becomes an invisible burden, dragging down your spirit and sapping your energy. Simple tasks become Herculean feats, and the world loses its vibrancy, painted instead in muted shades of sorrow. Time seems to stretch endlessly, each moment a painful reminder of the absence that looms large. Even the most well-meaning gestures offer little solace, as grief carves out its own lonely path within. In these moments, it's as if the very fabric of existence has been altered, leaving you stranded in a landscape of mourning, struggling to find your way back to solid ground. My guest today is Peggy Green. Peggy believes when grief has you grounded, a friend's lifesaver is a beacon of hope amidst the storm. Their gesture, whether a comforting word or a supportive embrace, offers a lifeline of connection in the midst of isolation.

What is the hardest thing you have ever done? How far down your list of hardest things is forgiving someone? I have heard it said, “Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” My guest today is Todd Boczkowski. Todd helps us take flight with a very story, and an even harder person to forgive. Forgiving someone is akin to releasing the weight of resentment and bitterness that has tethered you to the ground. It's an act of liberation, granting you the freedom to soar unencumbered by the burdens of past grievances. As a bird takes flight with newfound grace and ease, forgiving allows you to transcend the confines of hurt and anger, propelling you toward a brighter horizon. In forgiving, you reclaim control over your emotions and your narrative, opening up space for healing and growth. It's a powerful acknowledgment of your strength and resilience, enabling you to embrace life's journey with a lightness of being as if finally set free to explore the vast expanse of the sky.

Have you ever seen this person? They were just out of line suitcases opened wide and trying to decide what to take out of their bag to make it make the weight limit. Usually, there is anger, frustration, and maybe even tears trying to make it work. My guest today is Maurice F. Martin. Maurice, wants you to know that you don't have to carry that extra weight any longer. Your baggage weight limit of 50 pounds when flying is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures the safety and efficiency of the aircraft. Exceeding weight limits can strain the plane's structure and compromise its aerodynamics, potentially leading to safety hazards. Additionally, weight restrictions are in place to maintain fuel efficiency. Carrying excess weight requires more fuel consumption, contributing to environmental impact and operational costs. Moreover, adhering to baggage weight limits allows airlines to fairly distribute weight among passengers, ensuring a comfortable and equitable flying experience for all. So, while it may seem like a hassle, keeping your baggage under 50 pounds is essential for air travel safety, and efficiency. Join me as we take flight with Maurice.

Losing a child is an unimaginable tragedy that leaves an indelible mark on a parent's heart. The grief that follows is a heavy burden, one that seems impossible to bear. Each day becomes a struggle, filled with moments of overwhelming sadness and longing for the child who is no longer there. It's like navigating through an endless maze of emotions, where even the smallest memories or reminders can trigger waves of pain. The loss is profound and profound, a wound that never fully heals, no matter how much time passes. Parents often find themselves grappling with feelings of guilt, questioning what they could have done differently, and grappling with the unfairness of it all.

It's a journey fraught with setbacks and moments of despair, yet amidst the darkness, there remains a glimmer of hope that one day, they may find a way to carry on, honoring the memory of their beloved child while learning to live with the pain of their loss. My guest today is Judi Merriam. Judi today shares about the "empty seat" and the "empty shoes by the door". Listen as we "take flight" with Judi Merriam
👟
In a room of quiet solitude, a seat stands bare,
Echoes of laughter fade into the air.
Beside it, shoes lie in silent repose,
A story untold, a journey that closed.
The empty seat, a void profound,
Where once a presence, now not found.
Its arms outstretched, a welcoming embrace,
Now untouched, a solitary space.
The shoes they wore, now still and alone,
A silent testament to journeys known.
Each scuff, each mark, a tale to tell,
Of paths traversed and memories dwell.
Yet now they rest, devoid of tread,
A testament to the words unsaid.
The missing place they once fulfilled,
Now empty, the void left unfilled.
But though they're gone, their essence remains,
In memories cherished, in heart's refrains.
For in the empty seat and shoes left behind,
Their spirit lingers, a treasure to find.
So let us honor the ones we miss,
In the empty seat, in the shoes like this.
For though they're gone, their presence we feel,
In every memory, ever real.

Their role encompasses communication with pilots, providing instructions regarding altitude, routes, and clearances, all while coordinating with other controllers to maintain separation between aircraft. Armed with advanced radar systems and sophisticated communication tools, they orchestrate the intricate dance of air traffic, prioritizing safety above all else. Their vigilance is unwavering, especially during peak traffic periods or adverse weather conditions, as they efficiently guide aircraft through complex airspace. In the high-stakes aviation environment, a traffic controller's meticulous attention to detail and split-second decision-making are paramount, making them the unsung heroes of the skies. My guest today is Amanda Quick. Amanda has one of the craziest stories you may hear. I believe she had to balance her turbulence on the ground to be able to one day sore.

“It’s the way he flies, ice cold, no mistakes. He just wears you down. You get bored, frustrated, do something stupid, and he’s gotcha.” The quote from "Top Gun" and "Goose" Portrayed by Anthony Edwards is about Val Kilmer's character. My guest today is Ryan Mayer. Ryan is NOT a doctor or a naval aviator. However, Ryan is here to share his expertise on ADHD, as he is a coach and deals with it himself. Stay tuned for the great reveal as Neil has tasked Ryan with trying to see if he has ADHD. The aviator call sign holds significant value within the aviation community, serving as a vital tool for communication and identification. In the complex and dynamic airspace, call signs facilitate clear and efficient communication between pilots and air traffic control, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and enhancing overall safety. Beyond its functional role, a call sign contributes to the culture and tradition of aviation, fostering a sense of identity and camaraderie among pilots. It allows for quick and distinctive recognition of individual aircraft, promoting operational efficiency and teamwork. The use of call signs aligns with radio communication protocols, emphasizing brevity and clarity, particularly crucial in time-sensitive or emergencies. Moreover, call signs add a layer of security and confidentiality in military aviation. Ultimately, the aviator call sign embodies both practical utility and a sense of tradition, playing a pivotal role in the seamless and organized functioning of the aviation ecosystem.

What is your least favorite scene from Top Gun? Mine is when Maverick and Goose are in the flat spin. Spoiler alert! Goose dies as a result of the flat spin. My guest Zack Blakeney talks today about the most dangerous type of flat spin...Porn. A flat spin in aviation is a dangerous state in which an aircraft enters a spin while maintaining a nearly level pitch attitude. Unlike conventional spins where the aircraft descends in a more predictable nose-down or nose-up orientation, a flat spin involves a rotation around the vertical axis while keeping the wings relatively level. This type of spin is particularly challenging for pilots to recover from because the standard spin recovery techniques may be less effective. Flat spins can be initiated by inappropriate control inputs, uncoordinated flight, or other aerodynamic disturbances that upset the balance of forces acting on the aircraft. Recognizing and preventing flat spins are crucial aspects of pilot training and recovery procedures vary depending on the specific characteristics of the aircraft involved. Join me as Zack shows us how to take flight from porn.

Imagine with me if you did not have a GPS nowadays, and you were heading to a new destination. How, would you get there? Maybe you would ask for directions? Well, my guest today is Kylee Robinson. Kylee shares the value of having a flight plan is invaluable in the realm of aviation, serving as a comprehensive roadmap for pilots to navigate from departure to destination. This strategic document outlines the intended route, altitudes, waypoints, and crucial details essential for a safe and efficient flight. The value of having a flight plan lies in its ability to enhance overall flight safety by minimizing the risk of mid-air collisions, providing a structured framework for communication with air traffic control, and ensuring that pilots are well-prepared for various contingencies. Additionally, a well-crafted flight plan contributes to fuel efficiency and operational cost savings, as it enables pilots to optimize their routes and make informed decisions based on weather conditions and airspace constraints. In essence, a flight plan is not just a procedural requirement; it is a vital tool that enhances both the safety and efficiency of air travel. Join me as we take flight with Kylee.

In this powerful episode, my heart breaks for my guest Marin Canaday. She has struggled with OCD. Today she bravely tells how it has affected her life. Today, I also share this powerful poem to help you understand Marin's story.
👟
In the realm of sound, a monster lurks,
Within your headphones, it slyly works.
A cacophony of chaos it weaves,
Disturbing peace, like autumn leaves.
👟
In whispers, it hisses, a spectral wail,
A creature born in the audio trail.
But fear not, for within you lies,
The power to silence its haunting cries.
👟
Invoke the strength of the divine,
Let the grace of God brightly shine.
With faith as your shield, strong and true,
The monster's grip will start to undo.
👟
Turn your thoughts to the sacred hymns,
Let the melodies drown the monster's sins.
In prayer and peace, find your repose,
As the divine symphony steadily grows.
👟
With every verse, with every psalm,
Banish the monster, reclaim your calm.
For in the quietude of spiritual might,
The beast in your headphones takes its flight.
👟
Trust in God's grace, let serenity reign,
As the monster fades, like shadows wane.
In the sacred silence, find your retreat,
And in the stillness, victory is sweet.

While some individuals effortlessly navigate the intricate world of mathematics, I find myself grappling with its complexities. The abstract nature of mathematical concepts often eludes my grasp, leaving me feeling like a fish out of water in the numerical realm. Equations and theorems become a labyrinth of confusion, and the elusive understanding of mathematical principles remains just out of reach. Despite earnest efforts to decipher the language of numbers, my brain seems to resist the logical structures that define the mathematical landscape. However, acknowledging my struggle with math does not diminish my strengths in other areas. Each individual possesses a unique set of skills, and while mathematical prowess may not be my forte, I thrive in other intellectual and creative domains where my talents shine brightly.

The inaugural flight marks an indelible moment in human history, a culmination of innovation, ambition, and relentless determination. On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the impossible—their Wright Flyer, a fragile yet revolutionary aircraft, took to the skies near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In that fleeting span of twelve seconds, humanity's perception of the world altered irreversibly. The rickety contraption defied gravity's grasp, lifting off the ground and carrying the weight of human aspiration. The first flight was a testament to human ingenuity and the unwavering pursuit of the impossible. It was a catalyst that sparked the aviation era, reshaping how we traverse distances and expanding our understanding of what lies beyond earthly bounds. This inaugural flight remains an everlasting testament to the audacity of dreams and the relentless pursuit of exploration that continues to propel humanity forward.

In our Season Finale "The Knuckleball Pitch" we lace up our baseball spikes with former Major League Baseball pitcher Brandon Puffer. One of Brandon's favorite pitches was the knuckleball. Hitting a knuckleball pitch in baseball is an extraordinary challenge that confounds even the most seasoned batters. Unlike traditional pitches that follow a predictable trajectory, the knuckleball's erratic and unpredictable movement makes it a daunting task to connect bat to ball. This pitch is thrown with minimal spin, causing it to flutter, wobble, and change direction seemingly at random as it approaches the plate. Its unpredictable nature defies conventional hitting strategies, leaving batters baffled as they try to gauge its path. The absence of rotation prevents the ball from following a predictable arc, making timing and judgment incredibly difficult. It demands exceptional focus, patience, and an almost instinctual response from the batter, as any misjudgment or mistimed swing can result in a complete miss. Facing a proficient knuckleballer is a formidable test of a batter's skill and adaptability, often leading to frustration and admiration for this enigmatic pitch. The description of a knuckleball pitch is a great metaphor, for Brandon's life. Join me as we walk in Brandon's shoes.

Even if God never heals me, my love and devotion to Him remain unwavering. I believe that faith transcends the boundaries of our physical well-being. While I may yearn for healing and relief from my burdens, I understand that God's plan may not align with my desires. Nevertheless, I will continue to serve Him, for my love for God is not contingent upon receiving miracles or answers to my prayers. In the face of adversity, my faith grows stronger, and I find solace in the knowledge that His grace and purpose extend far beyond the limitations of my understanding. I will serve God with a grateful heart, trusting that His love and guidance are constants in my life, regardless of the trials I face. My guest today is Karis Meier.

What comes to mind you you read "grow where you are planted"? In California, there are some massive trees called Sequoia. The roots of Sequoia trees in California are as fascinating as the towering giants they support above ground. Despite their immense height, these trees have surprisingly shallow root systems, typically extending only about 6 to 12 feet deep but spreading widely, often reaching up to 100 feet or more from the base of the tree. The roots of Sequoias play a crucial role in anchoring these colossal trees and providing stability against strong winds. They intertwine with neighboring trees, creating a network that helps them withstand storms and stand firm against natural elements. Remarkably, these trees have evolved to thrive in the Sierra Nevada's nutrient-poor, rocky soils by developing a shallow, broad root system that enables them to access water and nutrients from a vast area to sustain their massive size and longevity. My guest today is Jodi Rosser is here to share why deep roots matter. Join me as we talk in Jodi's flip-flops

"What style of shoe do you like to wear?" This is a common question we start every show with. Well, today my guest is Wendy Wallace. Wendy gives a very unique answer. Back in 2011, Wendy contracted a flesh-eating bacteria. What started as flu symptoms, progressed into a life-threatening illness within three days. The doctors told her husband and kids that I had less than a 1% chance of survival and to plan for her passing. Wendy's husband's reply was, “You don’t know my God and what He can do!” Her family never lost faith. Word spread and hundreds of people prayed. God saved her life.

There is a scene in "Forrest Gump" Where Forrest gets on the bus and tries to sit down and is told "You can't sit here" "Seats taken" What I hear in that sense is "NOT here"! What about you? What do you hear? I believe strongly that some churches today don't want to still talk about porn in the church. "NOT here"! My guest today is Sam Black. Sam is the author of The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong About Pornography and How to Fix It and The Porn Circuit: Understand Your Brain and Break Porn Habits.

Imagine for a moment your father putting you in a trash can and saying to you "This is where you belong." What would that do to you? How long would that one event stick with you? My guest today is Dr. Mark McNear. Mark grew up hearing harsh words that undermined his desire to take initiative in life. After struggling with abuse, addictions, and rehab, Mark wondered fearfully what would happen next. Now, Mark McNear wakes up each morning with joy in his heart. He is filled with hope and longs for you to experience the same hope. He found hope through Jesus. And now Dr. McNear wants to share that God loves you and accepts you just as you are, right there in the messiness of your life. He’s pursuing you, and you won’t regret opening the door of your life to Him—or to other people who are available and able to help you in your recovery from trauma.

The phrase "the other side of the coin" is an idiomatic expression that refers to a different perspective or aspect of a situation, issue, or concept. Just like a coin has two sides, this expression suggests that there are two contrasting viewpoints or facets to consider. It implies that one should examine both sides in order to gain a more complete understanding of the matter at hand. This phrase is often used to emphasize the complexity and multifaceted nature of various topics, encouraging individuals to look beyond a single viewpoint and consider the broader context.

One of my favorite cartoon characters is Marvin the Martian. He has a quote "That makes me very angry, very angry indeed". Anger is a normal and natural emotion experienced by all humans at some point in their lives. It is often triggered by feeling frustrated, threatened, or hurt in some way. Anger can serve as a protective mechanism and can even be a motivating force for change. However, it's essential to understand and manage anger constructively to prevent it from causing harm to yourself or others. Today Natalie Hixson stops by to share with us how she as a mom handles anger. This is a very challenging episode if you or a friend has ever struggled with anger.

When is the last time you heard "I forgive you"? I forgive you. Three simple words. Life changing? More like life-saving. My guest today is Neil Getzlow, Author of "Unmasked" Neil talks about the power of forgiveness and unconditional love is life-changing. For Neil, it goes back to that life-changing moment at the start of his journey in April 2020 when God helped him unmask all of his sins to Amy Neil's wife. He shares how nobody ever signs up to tell a story like this. Quite the opposite actually. He thinks a lot of people are addicted to porn, sex, drugs, booze, or whatever their vice of choice is, do exactly what he did: Spend years and years of energy trying to stuff their sins deep inside so they would never get out. Neil's mask was on so tight that he didn’t take it off for anyone. There was nobody in the world he was living in that knew what was behind his mask. Nobody. He was alone and trapped in his own sin. Fortunately, God had other plans for him. Those plans included repenting his sins and confessing every aspect of his illicit life to God and to his wife. Yet despite the pain he caused, and repeatedly turning away from God. God was still there waiting for him with open arms. He never thought that would be possible until Amy showed him what Godly forgiveness really looks like. Join me as we try on Neil's size 11 shoes.

**** DISCLAIMER PLEASE DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP FIRST. ****
A few months back a very good friend, who I believe is one of the smartest people I have interacted with Sean McCoy. Shared with me that he had taken Magic Mushrooms. My first reaction was "That has to be the dumbest thing you have ever done." "Why?" After all Magic Mushrooms also known as psilocybin mushrooms, contain a naturally occurring psychoactive compound called psilocybin. When ingested, psilocybin is converted into psilocin in the body, which interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, resulting in various psychological effects. Here are some general effects and experiences associated with taking magic mushrooms. Altered Perception, Visual and Sensory Distortions, Emotional Effects, Altered Thinking and Perception of Time, Spiritual and Mystical Experiences, Introspection and Personal Insights, and Physiological Effects. It's worth noting that the effects of magic mushrooms can vary widely depending on factors such as dosage, individual sensitivity, mindset, environment, and the presence of any underlying mental health conditions. If considering using magic mushrooms, it is important to approach them with caution, in a safe and supportive environment, and ideally under the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable individual. Additionally, it's crucial to be aware of the legal status of magic mushrooms in your country or region, as they may be illegal in many places. Join me as I try on Sean McCoy's Xero shoes.

How would you define the word transcend? One definition is to go further, rise above, or be more important or better than something, especially a limit: My guest today is Catherine Llewellyn. To transcend beyond the mask means to go beyond the superficial or false identity that one may wear to conform to societal expectations or to hide their true self. It involves breaking free from the limitations imposed by external perceptions and embracing one's authentic self at a deeper level. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and inner transformation, where one strives to live in alignment with their true values, passions, and purpose. Transcending beyond the mask involves embracing vulnerability, accepting imperfections, and stepping into a state of authenticity and self-acceptance, allowing one to live a more fulfilling and genuine life. Join me as I try on Cathrine's very green flat shoes.

How amazing would life be if you had a secret decoder ring? Secret decoder rings have been popularized in various forms of media, such as books, comics, or movies, often used by fictional spies or secret agents. They add an element of mystery and intrigue, allowing individuals to engage in code-breaking activities and solve puzzles. Sadly it is just make-believe. However, my guest today Dr. Sarah Hensley is here to help us with decoding the mask we may be wearing. In order to do that one must attempt to look beyond the surface-level presentation and delve into the deeper emotions or thoughts that someone might be concealing. It can involve empathy, intuition, and careful observation to uncover the genuine meaning behind someone's behavior, allowing for a better understanding of their true intentions or emotional state. Join me as I try on Dr. Sarah's flip-flops.

The term "swept up" typically refers to a state of being carried away or caught up in a strong, powerful, or overwhelming emotion, experience, or situation. It implies a feeling of being engulfed or overwhelmed by something, often in a figurative sense. It can describe being captivated, enchanted, or deeply affected by a particular event, feeling, or circumstance that leaves a significant impact. It can also refer to being caught up in a wave of enthusiasm, excitement, or fervor that carries one along. Overall, being "swept up" suggests a sense of being emotionally or mentally transported beyond one's usual state. My guest today is Matt Garnier. Matt wrote a book called "Swept Up".

To "agree to disagree" is a phrase used when two or more individuals hold different opinions or viewpoints on a particular topic, and they decide to end the discussion or argument without trying to convince each other to change their stance. It acknowledges the existence of a fundamental disagreement while emphasizing mutual respect and the willingness to move past the disagreement without harboring ill feelings or prolonging an unproductive debate. My guest today is Brain Nietzel. Brian today shares about one of today’s most divisive, hot-button topics—Christianity and the LGBTQ+ community—extreme voices seem to lead the conversation. Yet as you look to the quieter middle, where most of us live, you will find a more constructive and hopeful narrative playing out in the church. Since “coming out” 15 years ago as a gay man committed to his faith in Jesus, Brian has consulted with evangelical churches big and small to help advance the more productive conversation. He knows the tension of reconciling long-held beliefs with compassion for LGBTQ+ loved ones. From his vantage, many leaders are braving that journey, and rethinking their responsibility to LGBTQ+ individuals in and outside their congregation. Join me as I try on Brian's Italian shoes.
