We always hear, "The issues started when the Government took Church out of the schools". But in all reality, maybe the church just stopped engaging the schools. Jenny and Cheryl, both who have experience working with One Eighty, join Rusty on Sixth and Marquette to discuss how we activate the church to engage in our public school system. We also learn about Cheryl's imaginary friends. 

Derrick Deboef joins Rusty and co-host, Joni, to discuss Church leadership and how we can better support leaders who are struggling. Derrick brings his unique perspective as a former arena football player, carpenter, and former pastor. He talks about why he isn't a Pastor anymore and you also get to hear a few stories of what life is like with Rusty...specifically, his mechanical skills.

Sgt. Harris from the Davenport Police Department join Rusty and Traci on the latest episode of Sixth and Marquette. We discuss what it's like being a police officer in 2021, why Rusty didn't major in Geolotry (no, that's not a typo), the importance of non profits working together, and why Sgt. Harris loves his job as part of the Community Impact Team. 

Dr. Paul and Shelly, two of our One Eighty staff who have education and professional experience working in the mental health field sit down with Rusty to talk about Mental Health. 

They discuss:
 The difference between mental illness and mental health issues.
Why leaders and pastors may struggle.
Are prescription drugs  the answer?
What a typical counseling session might be like.
If you confess something like murder to your counselor, do they have to keep it confidential?

It's a super interesting conversation about all things mental health!

Meet the designer of the Quad Cities first Tiny Homes, Joshua Arguello. Rusty and Joni sit down with him to discuss his own personal transformation, why iPhones are better than Android, and  his unique connection to Sixth and Marquette. 

Dr. Paul is one of our newest staff members at One Eighty but he's volunteered for a long time. He comes with an extensive background working in counseling and mental health, years of working at the jail, and a passion to help our residents. He is a great addition to the team at One Eighty and we can't wait for you to hear about his story and experiences. 

Rusty and Joni interview Michael Jensen, a One Eighty Graduate. He shares how he went from atheist to Christian, gives us a great explanation of addiction, and makes us laugh quite a bit along the way. 

Jenny joins us to discuss a little about how she got connected to One Eighty, the early years of Prevent and something called Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and why they matter. We also discuss the importance of volunteering and the impact that can have, even years later. 

Justin joins Rusty and Joni to talk about his story of addiction and overcoming that addiction. They discuss the influence of friends, a desire to fit in and the world's best cupcakes. 

In this episode, Seth Bowker and Travis Boswell join Rusty  to discuss the start of One Eighty,  playing tag with cars, challenges of living in a small town, what it's like being a pastor (and expired pastor), and keys to growing closer to God through service to the community. Whenever these 3 get together, it is sure to be a good time!
