  • Shattered Expecations a Conversation with Deb McQuilkin
    Studies show that the loss of a spouse, whether through divorce or death is
    one of the most devastating losses a human can experience. Our podcast
    guest, Deb McQuilkin, knows the unspeakable grief of the loss of a husband
    through an unwanted divorce and the sorrow of losing a beloved husband
    through death. Perhaps these losses are why Deb feels such a kinship with
    Naomi whose story we find in the Bible in the book of Ruth. In this
    conversation with Sharon Betters, Deb invites us to consider our own
    shattered dreams, difficult relationships, and practical needs and learn
    through Naomi’s responses to loss.
    Deb knows all about long distance grandparenting as she travels from her
    home in Australia to the US to spend time with grandchildren on both
    continents. Deb is not only an author, but before retirement and her move
    to Australia, she was an Associate Professor at the University of South
    Carolina in Health Systems Administration focusing on capacity building in
    global health. Before her husband, Robertson’s death, she ministered with
    him worldwide.

  • A Case for Forgiveness a Conversation with Anthony Thompson - Part 2
    On June 17, 2015, Dylann Roof, a young white man, attended the Wednesday
    evening Bible study at the predominantly black Emanuel AME Church in
    Charleston, South Carolina. An hour later, Roof pulled a concealed weapon
    and killed nine African-Americans as they prayed, including Myra Thompson,
    the wife of Reverend Anthony Thompson. Myra's murder devastated Anthony,
    yet he chose to privately and publicly forgive the shooter.
    Many in the church and community still struggle to understand Reverend
    Thompson's deliberate choice to forgive the racist murderer. But as
    Charlestonians witnessed this incredible act of forgiveness, something
    significant happened within the community. Instead of the expected racial
    riots in the aftermath of the shooting, black and white leaders and
    residents united, coming together peaceably and even showing acts of
    selfless love.
    In this candid conversation, Anthony Thompson candidly shares the details
    of that awful night, the grief he experienced, and the radical choice to
    forgive the killer. But beyond that, Reverend Thompson shares a compelling
    vision of the power of forgiveness to transform our lives--personally, in
    our communities, and even in our nation.
    Be inspired by this remarkable story and discover how the difficult
    decision to forgive can become the key to radical change.
