Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Today I’m on the rail of a ship in Alaska’s Inside Passage—crisp air, cedar on the hills, and Ketchikan (“Salmon Capital of the World”) straight ahead. We set the scene: Creek Street boardwalks, towering totems, the Tongass National Forest, and floatplanes bound for Misty Fjords. Then we pivot home: Greenville’s proposed homeless ordinance—public camping, sidewalks, and panhandling—and how to balance public safety with dignity, treatment, and real exits from the street. Guest: Ryan Duerk, CEO of Miracle Hill Ministries.
What’s insideKetchikan’s heritage: Tlingit, Haida & Tsimshian stories in formline art and totems
Only-in-Ketchikan sights: Creek Street, eagles on the tide, Misty Fjords by floatplane
Fun facts: 12+ feet of rain/year, 5 salmon species, no roads off-island
Greenville’s ordinance basics: camping, obstruction, aggressive panhandling
Shelter capacity, mental health & addiction treatment, and faith-based partnerships
Ryan Duerk on what actually moves people from street to stability
