In this episode, Brian sits down with Englewood native and Legacy’s own Lamar Brown-Simms, the founder of Thriving Minds—a social-emotional learning program rooted in mindfulness, creativity, and holistic care for elementary students in Chicago Public Schools.

Together, they explore the importance of mental health, the challenges and beauty of navigating conflict within discipleship relationships, and the realities of growing up on the South Side of Chicago. Lamar shares personal stories, practical insights, and the heart behind his work equipping young people with emotional tools he wishes he had earlier in life.

Tune in for an honest, hope-filled conversation on resilience, community, and the transformative power of presence.
