Episode Transcript

Camille (00:02):
The Echoes podcast is a place for honest conversations
about community, faith, and ourneighborhoods. I'm Camille Hall
Ortega.

Marcus (00:10):
And I'm Marcus Goodyear. In each episode, we explore
stories that inspire andchallenge us, drawing from the
experiences of faith leaders,activists, and everyday heroes.

Camille (00:20):
These are the stories that matter. In every episode,
our guests bring raw, honestperspectives on the challenges
we all face.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
We have lost our humanity in in knowing our
neighbors, helping ourneighbors. Instead of
complaining to the city, goingto your neighbor and saying,
hey, is there something I canhelp you with?

Marcus (00:42):
Our hope is to explore the challenges and the triumphs
that real people face when theyhave to deal with complex
issues.

Camille (00:48):
And honestly, we were astounded by what so many of our
guests shared.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
I think people don't know any better. And if we're
not helping them to get tobetter, it it's not gonna get
better.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
Despite what the church has been, can be, despite
its flaws, despite its foibles,I would still encourage a person
to become a part of a church.

Camille (01:15):
We ask the real questions like, what does it
mean to belong? How do we createspaces for connection?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Rather than trying to solve all the big problems of
our country from a meta level,my encouragement is let's figure
out what this looks like in myneighborhood, in my community,
in my city.

Marcus (01:34):
Join us on the Echoes podcast as we uncover the
stories that resonate with allof us and inspire us to live
with purpose.
