End It For Good

How did the End It For Good team members change their minds in favor of health-center approaches to drugs? Starting with End It For Good's Director of Outreach, Angela Mallette, Christina talks with her about her background, struggles, triumphs, and how she got to where she is today. 

In this episode, Christina talks with Chris Freeze, former FBI Special Agent in Charge for the state of Mississippi. They dive into what he's learned in the last few years that intersect with the work End It For Good focuses on, what is the Science of Hope, and where he stands on the Drug War. 

Christina sits down with Reverend Steve Casteel from Heritage United Methodist Church in Hattiesburg, MS. Steve was part of the Faith panel at the 2022 End It For Good SHIFT Summit. In this episode, he talks about how he became involved with these issues of drugs and drug use, why stigma is so prevalent in the faith community, and how having hard conversations is good for the church.
