Episode 4 of “Dangerously Vulnerable” features Keagan’s conversation with Jed Chappell, a community organizer and outreach minister in Oklahoma City. They talk about Jed’s programs at his nonprofit, OK City Center, and dive into Jed’s background, discussing the following:

What the City Center does, from food and clothing distribution to after-school programs and block parties
The experience of being in the City Center - “we want you to feel like the building is hugging you”
The importance Jed places on treating those you serve with dignity and helping them transition from being served to serving
Understanding Jed’s motto that “it’s not just what you do, but how you do it and why you do it”
How Jed responds to claims that he is simply “enabling” the people that OK City Center serves, and the importance of giving without expectations
Jed’s experiences as a “street pharmacist”, and other difficulties faced in his youth
How he bounced back from a prison sentence to becoming a pastor involved in outreach ministry and mentorship programs
One of the lessons Jed has learned; is that the story doesn’t necessarily end when you’re “saved”
The importance and impact of finding the right people to allow you to be “dangerously vulnerable”, and some of the people who have helped Jed the most
