“We shouldn’t be warehousing people.” ~ Tim McKinney
In Episode 78 of Straight Talk, No B.S. with Matthew’s Hope, presented by Imagine Marketing, Tracy and Pastor Scott are joined by Tim McKinney, CEO of United Global Outreach.
Pastor Scott and Tim share some of the key ingredients required to achieve true transformation. Learn how simple things like treating all people with dignity can have a powerful impact on someone’s life when they are at their lowest point. Plus, they discuss the issues with our current shelter system and ways in which they could better serve the individuals that rely on them while also benefitting their surrounding communities.
While Tim’s organization serves mostly impoverished people and Matthew’s Hope serves only those experiencing homelessness, there are similarities in the fundamentals that each are based on and the needs of the people they serve. Both are bringing attention and resources to populations that have traditionally not had voices of their own.
Each week, Pastor Scott, Shelley and guests share their experiences from operating a homeless outreach in Florida's Orange and Brevard Counties to raise awareness and tackle some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the homeless crisis in America today.

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.
