 Husband, father, pastor, foodie, and rock star?

 Special guest on the Strong By Design podcast is Pastor Q, Mark Quattrochi. Pastor Q or ‘PQ’ as he is fondly referred, is lead pastor of The Chapel community church in Trinity, FL, the greater Tampa area.

 Today’s conversation covers a lot of ground about the topic of love, what true biblical love looks like and how culture has redefined love in recent years…

 Hosts Chris Wilson and Jared Haley sit down with PQ in the Critical Bench Compound and get to know each other better, sharing their personal beliefs, experiences, along with lots of laughs.

 What we know to be true (from thechapel.cc about page)

 The Church is the Body of Christ and uniquely exists to extend the love of God to the world around us, through both our words and our work, and to lead believers toward spiritual maturity, as followers of Christ.

 "Just because you have to navigate it, doesn't mean it's a negative. "

Jordan created Dreamful podcast because she was having a hard time finding just the right bedtime story to put her two little girls to sleep. So, I did what any normal person would do and said “I can just make one myself! How hard could it be?”.

With a background in art, writing, and theatre; she has been able to put those skills to good use. Her podcast started as a little thing for her kids, then it grew, and grew, and grew. Now, she gets to share bedtime stories with thousands of people all over the world.

Although created for kids, Dreamful podcast developed a large adult following. Many of her listeners struggle with anxiety, depression, and difficulty sleeping at night. This is relatable for Jordan as she too struggled with anxiety in her own life. Listen as Jordan vulnerably shares her own story, and how today she is grateful her podcast is able to help those struggling with mental illness to find peaceful and restful sleep.

 Homelessness is a problem that plagues many cities around the world, and Tampa Bay Florida is no exception.

 Every day, individuals and families are forced to sleep on the streets or in shelters due to various circumstances such as job loss, illness, addiction, and domestic violence. Yet, despite being a growing issue, homelessness is often misunderstood and stigmatized.
 
 "Faces of Homelessness: A Tampa Bay Story", seeks to shed light on the lives of those who are experiencing homelessness in Tampa Bay. This book, just released in 2023 by our very own host, Tonya Fines, is a compilation of black and white photographs that capture the faces of individuals who have been affected by this growing problem.

 But it is not just a book of pictures. It is a tribute to the humanity of the homeless and a call to action to finally end homelessness in Tampa Bay.

 "Not every person you see on the street has that ‘they deserve to be there’ story.”

 -  Tonya Fines
