Forgotten Eagles

There goes the neighborhood! Tim Silsby joins Coach Helsabeck in ‘The Nest’ and its exactly what you’d expect. In the first part of what could be a 100-part podcast, the former RHP talks about life on Lake Wallenpaupack, moving to Albemarle, meeting the boys, spiking his bullpen fastball and a time when Coach Helsabeck smoked him in the back of the arm with a ball off of a fungo the day before Opening Day! Drug testing, another angle on the ‘Clear Eyes’ game and much, much more make this yet another phenomenal podcast. Buckle up... and oh yeah, ‘hide your wives.’

On this *Special Edition* of Forgotten Eagles Podcast, former SCC baseball player Travis Fetter and his mom Sheila join Helsabeck in ‘The Nest’ and discuss what we all know to be true, ‘everyone has their fight.’ Helsabeck begins with discussing a mental burden that was recently swept away by the grace of God and the relief of ‘the weight of the world’ disappearing which ultimately led to a message from Travis regarding his mom’s story. Travis and Sheila talk about one night that changed their lives, and not for the better. A battle with crippling depression and a card board box that led to rejuvenation, a heart warming creation and ‘giving it all to HIM,’ make this one of the most inspirational podcasts to date. Originally hoped to publish on Mothers Day but better late than never! “Be as tough as your mothers!” For ordering information on the product talked about in this podcast, please reach out to Sheila Fetter at 704.500.9341 or Jon Helsabeck at 843.957.9527. -Ephesians 6:10-
