Living with a relentless sense of shame, overwhelmed with remorse and guilt, her life was filled with a feeling of hopelessness.

Just three years ago, our guest Cathleen Rheams, was homeless, living in a tent for shelter and foraging through dumpsters for food. Today, she has a lot to share that we can all learn from. Just like Cathleen, we’re never too far gone for a comeback.

Matt Roberson pastors TheMET Church in Houston, Texas. Matt and I sat down at his home in Houston to record this conversation just two weeks before Hurricane Harvey devastated the city of Houston.

In the aftermath of Harvey, Matt, and the people of TheMET Church became a refuge in their community for nearly 700 people.

This week’s conversation is with Travis Ishikawa, a two-time World Series Champion with the San Francisco Giants.

In this episode of Humans With Faith, we talk a lot about baseball, some lessons learned in the minor leagues, how parents are the real heroes of an athlete’s story, just how cool Hunter Pence is, and the ups and downs of a major league career.

This episode is a little longer than our norm. Even if you have to push pause and come back to it a couple of times to finish, it’s well worth it. We begin discussing the big hit that put Travis in the spotlight at about the 27-minute mark. Enjoy!

‘If I could change people, everyone would be different. What I can do is provide an opportunity for change.’ - Steve McNitt

Steve is the Supervising Psychiatric Social Worker I in California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. That's a long title for wanting to make a difference in the lives of those who are spending some or all of their life behind bars.

This is Steve's story of trying to make a difference behind the walls of a maximum security prison.

He's not alone. On a daily basis, thousands of men and women are working hard, risking their health, and at times, even their lives working with those who are incarcerated.

A wife, mother of three children, an interior designer, a Certified American Sign Language Interpreter, and for more than twenty years, Heidi Reece has been a flight attendant.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to fly for a living? What goes on in the air when you spend your working hours at such a high altitude? Could someone really open the door while in flight?

Answers to these questions and more are discussed during this conversation on Humans With Faith.

Bart Nollenberger grew up in a home with a father who had an alcohol addiction. Early in his life, Bart would repeat the cycle. It was only after 'waking up' to his reality that he realized something needed to change. Now Bart lives to help others find a way out of their addiction, and even more, find their purpose in life.
