One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d love for you to meet Bryan and Tami Tacker. I first met Tami through an organization called Sacred Selections. Sacred Selections is a nonprofit that helps raise funds to alleviate the financial burden of adoption for Christian families. Sacred Selections helped bring home many of my children as well as hundreds of other children into their respective families.
But in talking with Tami, I found out that her and her husband, Bryan, are also deeply involved in some amazing work in India. Bryan and Tami are exceptional people with a heart for children, the disenfranchised, and the spreading of the gospel in India. We talk about how they first got involved in helping a children’s home there, as well as the amazing work being done by a congregation of lepers. We also talk about how it all started with a providential encounter with a Christian named Billy.
For the sake of safety, we don’t use Billy’s last name or talking about the specifics of where the children’s home is in India because persecution of Christians in India, both economically and politically, is a very real danger, but if you want to get involved or help, there are details in the show notes of how to get more information.
I entitled this conversation ‘More with Less’ and I think you will find that amongst the larger details of these good works happening in India, you will hear some amazing stories about people who have done more with less and really make me want to be a better person. I’m grateful for the Tackers and others like them doing this sort of work to help souls, and I’m better for the time talking to them. I think you will be, too.
"Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
