HOPE MISSISSIPPI is a bimonthly podcast educating Mississippians about the needs of fellow citizens, encouraging residents to work together to change the trajectory of our families and children, and sharing success stories.
Dawn and Stephen Beam are successful professionals (now retired) seeking to improve conditions in their beloved Mississippi. What started many years ago with the "WHAT IF" meetings evolved into an ambitious non-profit and now an uplifting "feel good" podcast.
After decades of church-sponsored missions to Central America, the Beams were inspired to channel their energy and efforts to their home state of Mississippi.

In HOPE MISSISSIPPI's pilot episode, our host, Retired Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Dawn Beam, welcomes the show's first guest, Stephen Beam. In addition to being Justice Beam's husband, Stephen is an author and a retired physician. He is passionate about being a force for good. Their journey is impressive, and their banter is engaging, sincere, and often humorous.
The Beams share their respective humble beginnings and HOPE MISSISSIPPI's origin story. They are leading Mississippians by example and are convinced that with collaboration and communication, small acts of service can have a massive impact on those without hope.
HOPE MISSISSIPPI spotlights generational poverty, food scarcity, education, racial division, and other socio-economic issues that negatively affect many communities.
HOPE MISSISSIPPI also shares success stories and ways to do our small part for the greater good.
The opposite of HOPE is APATHY.
Relevant Scripture: Matthew 25:40
“The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
