Protected by Strangers, I was never alone

January 20, 2025 • 59 mins

Feeling abandoned,alone,scared,and up against a wall. The shadows loom heavy and suffocating,as the echoes of despair whisper. In the stillness of the night,when the world is asleep,heartache rises like a threatening tide to engulf you. Every heart beat a reminder of what you’ve lost. But when you’ve had enough,you’ll know. Sorrow and tears turn to strength letting her rise from what brought her to her knees. The young lady,the res...

The streets aren’t always green

Hungry friends in “the” space

June 26, 2024 • 42 mins
It’s not the end all be all, when paths we see ourselves on don’t pan out. At least not in the traditional sense. Mom and dad told us we needed to be “there”,be a success. What guidance did we really have to set us up for life?Life as it happens,gives no regard to hypothetical situations. MJ explains.

We call that conversation a prayer

June 19, 2024 • 43 mins
As small children we learn and develop into who will be down the road. Some lines may be a bit more hardened,and clarity not so clear. But a relationship with Christ can never be mistaken for anything else. What our parents teach us as children travels a long way,and most times as the unwanted passenger. But not always. This story is an example of that.

I couldn’t protect her

June 5, 2024 • 55 mins
* Mentions of abuse.Every story we share is our own. It happened to us when we thought it didn’t happen to anyone else. Most often we are incorrect in that thought. How could this be my life. A very special man today shares what he went through growing up,and how he very quickly became the “man of the house” before he knew it. We all must go through something, how equipped are you ?

The Decision

May 1, 2024 • 34 mins
You’re uncertain in this life the path in which to take. People giving opinions of what you should do with your life,when it’s your life. But then you don’t want to disappoint your family,so you do what you,or they,feel is best. And most times we don’t arrive at the hard decisions easily, will we ever truly know if the one we chose was the “right” one? No,and that’s alright. Stay tuned to hear what Dr. Qureshi has to say on the mat...

When looking at him you wouldn’t assume what he shared today would be his story.Never judge a book by its cover they say. Read its pages so you’ll know the story,beginning to end,and even that sometimes isn’t enough. That is certainly the case with Ricky,an amazing guest who has been dealt the unspeakable,and has lived to tell about it. Continuing to give God the glory.

Report cards and old school parents

April 10, 2024 • 36 mins
Today’s guest goes back in memory recounting how he grew up,and what it meant to get “the look”.Coming up with parents who parented, and who simultaneously shaped their children for the future. Loving your children means a whole lot more than telling them so. Sometimes it’s the hard parts that leave the lasting impressions,preparing them for the future.

We Never gave up on us

March 6, 2024 • 41 mins
Path travelers have seen the bad times come and go,just like the good times. But it’s the memories,the journeys,the hard roads that you, like today’s guests look back on and say it was all worth it. Never giving up on what you want in this life. And there could not be two people better qualified to share those stories on just that.

Deep-seeded, but why ?

February 21, 2024 • 35 mins
*Be advised there are some volume deficiencies in the latter part of this episode. I do apologize.* What do you do when you don’t know the root of your anger,what do you do when it’s put to an ultimate test? The young man today tells us how he saw a way through it,survived it and is now looking for the best ways to recognize when it’s too much,and knowing when and how to deal with trying situations. You’ve got a friend in me.
