This week our Prevent Team (Cheryl, Jeff and Malorie)  joins Rusty to talk about what they do at One Eighty, the hardest part of their jobs, and the most expensive thing they've ever lost. 

This week on Sixth and Marquette, Pastor Luke Dunn from First Baptist Church in Aledo joins Rusty and Traci to discuss what it's like Pastoring in a small town, the joys and challenges of Pastoring, all things Aledo, and why First Baptist Church is at fault for Rusty's past drug use.

This week on Sixth and Marquette, Rusty and Traci talk with Todd Fleetwood. He's a graduate of One Eighty and a current staff member. He shares his story of addiction, including an 18 year period of sobriety. We also discuss the hold addiction has, our future careers as a news team, his favorite part of One Eighty and Todd's love of wrestling. 

This week Mike Bragg from One Eighty joins Rusty, Traci, and Joni to discuss his life, all things sports, why Rusty never played high school football, and why Joni thinks Rusty is a snob. We warned you some podcasts would be productive and others....well, they'll be fun. 

One of One Eighty's oldest friends, Kevin Barker, joins Rusty and Traci on the podcast. We hear Kevin's heart behind why he serves, we experience Rusty's lack of geography skills (once again), talk about one of Kevin's service projects where the trailer he was pulling ended up cruising down the road next to him, and his book "Never Give Up". 

Jeremiah joins Traci and Rusty to discuss a culturally hot topic, the decriminalization and legalization of drugs. None of them are experts on the topic and this podcast is  simply their experiences and opinions. They also discuss Jeremiah's first time trying a new pizza place and his unique skills of "bookbinding".

Rusty and Traci talk with Dakotah and Nicole, the Women's Home Supervisor and Assistant Supervisor at One Eighty. They talk about running the largest women's recovery program in the area, the best part of their job, the difficult choices they have to make in crisis ministry and what life is like at One Eighty.  

Rusty and Traci sit down with Ben Driscoll who was the principal at Monroe Elementary when this was recorded. He has since taken a new position within the district overseeing multiple schools and continuing to make a lasting impact in the lives of the families at these schools.

Ben shares about his background, how he got into teaching, their family experiencing a fire and what he sees as the biggest needs our students are facing. We have worked with Ben and Monroe Elementary for years and it was a ton of fun to sit down and record this episode with him!

Joni and Traci join Rusty and guest, Jeremiah, for a hilarious yet extremely thought provoking conversation on Sixth and Marquette.  They discuss Quad City Pizza, kilts, Rusty's recent run in with the cops, how Jeremiah has been racially profiled, the churches response to racism, black lives matter, whether coupons are really worth it. 

* this was recorded pre- Rusty's stroke (he talks about how healthy he was and has never been to a hospital, clearly, that has changed)

Chad Williams joins Traci and Rusty on Sixth and Marquette to discuss the day Rusty had his stroke. Chad shares his perspective as the one that was with Rusty on the Golf Course when it happened. Rusty shares the entire story of what caused it, the physical and emotional effects, and where he is at now in his recovery.
