The wisdom is found with the old. This is a simple concept that has become lost in our culture. We value youth and while youth is wonderful, to find real sage wisdom, you should be looking to those who have traveled. Enter John Lamberts. Staff at my wife's high school growing up, friend to my wife later on, friend to me now, and a man who walks it like he talks it. Just sit back and enjoy a reminder of the true and wonderful spirit of the human race! https://takeflyte.org/about-us/

Come sit a spell and meet Melissa Lalonde. A dear ole friend who has been through a Lions' share of heavy loss and come out swinging on the other side. We go through the many times that life has knocked her down, the lessons learned from getting back up and why above all, she walks with laughter. https://www.marchofdimes.org/

Today we sit down with my cousin once removed, Steph Goris. A nurse who works for the county health department. We talk about serving in public health during the time of covid. The challenges she faces trying to do her work, the roller-coaster of emotions that comes with her work, and the unique perspective she has to lend on this pandemic that WE are facing. There is a calm to be gained by listening to an informed, passionate, and knowledgeable human being. One who gets up every day and fights uphill for our benefit.

Today Jonah speaks about building community. One hamburger at a time. The problems of the world can be overwhelming but there are small ways to remedy that. Get to know your neighbor. A year's long tradition from life with friends in Colorado grew into a new tradition with strangers in Michigan. Getting to know the people you see and live near can be a great start. Developing the lost skill of talking to people and establishing connection even and especially with those who have differing opinions from your own. These are the seeds that can grow into beautiful fruit that may save our society.

Meet Gary DeVries. Pastor, Hospital Chaplain, Father, and also my father-in-law. This is a rare soul of a man who sees the world through a perspective that is so unique you will not want the interview to end. We talk about his journey to pastoral calling and chaplaincy.

We talk about his adjustment to having a child with special needs. We discuss life in the hospital when you are trying to care for the patients and the staff.

And we discuss what it is like when your 26 year old Christian daughter brings home a 42 year old Jewish man.

If you want a 40 minute class on perspective, sit down and listen to this truly rare conversation with Sally McCance.
