September 28, 2022Ep. 058 How God Inspired A Pastor To Restore Bikes For Those In Need | Bike Ministry
There are many ways to give back to the community and the less fortunate. Some people donate food, clothes, money, or anything else essential to living.
All of these are very useful, but what if you gave the gift of mobility? The ability to get from point A to point B. Something we all sometimes take for granted when it is so readily available.
That’s what our guest on today’s episode is doing. The founder of Bike Ministry, pastor Robbie Pruitt and a team of volunteers have restored over 1400 bikes in the past 22 months. All funds from repairing bikes have gone toward repairing and donating bikes for homeless shelters or to children in under-resourced areas.
Bike Ministry gained traction when Robbie was approached by news outlets to share Bike Ministry with the public during the pandemic when there wasn’t a whole lot of good news being shown. Since it was a worthy cause and something that may help bring the community together in a time when there was nothing good on the news, he decided to agree to share his story to encourage and inspire people.
Well, it did the trick, because Robbie is now at capacity, fixing bikes in his home and providing bikes to anyone in need.This is a beautiful story about good people coming together for the betterment of humanity.
Tune in to hear how Robbie created Bike Ministry and how you can help!
Topics discussed in this episode:
Where Robbie’s love for bikes came from

Why Robbie was hesitant about being approached by news outlets
How the community got involved with Bike Ministry

September 15, 2022 Ep. 057 How A Kids' Triathalon Supports Pediatric Cancer Patients
I interviewed the founder of JUST TRYAN IT Molly Darby.
Here is just a few things we talked about....
-The early days of Ryan's diagnosis and the moment Molly decided she wanted to create JUST TRYAN IT
-A family in the hospital that opened their eyes to the severe struggles some parents go through while their child is in treatment
Mollie Darby’s background is in interior Architecture. Mollie took 11 years off to raise 3 boys and is now back in the work world designing again! JUST TRYAN IT is very near and dear to her heart because Ryan is her middle son. When Ryan was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, an amazing group of women came together to support not just her family, but other families in similar situations. She LOVE’s what JUST TRYAN IT does and looks forward to what the future holds. Mollie isn’t sure what her greatest accomplishment was as a child. She wishes that it had something like JUST TRYAN IT to compete in and to give back to. Maybe she would remember swimming, biking and running for a GREAT cause!

August 31, 2022 Ep 056: CAST - Preventing Infants & Toddlers from Drowning
Before she became an ISR mom and then a certified instructor, Liz was an elementary school teacher with a strong background as well as passion for business and philanthropy. After her family’s ISR self-rescue experience, Liz saw a window of opportunity to continue working with kids, while owning my own business and giving back to the community. Having personally experienced what it is like to go-it-alone as both an ISR swim mom and as an ISR instructor, it quickly became clear that a team approach was needed if she were to effectively increase self-rescue access in a city as large as Chicago. This inspired her to create CAST. The mission at CAST is to increase access to self-rescue lessons and to empower families and communities to create strong water safety strategies. What Liz learned in her initial ISR experience was that each day in this country, 3 families lose a child to drowning. She also learned that physical activity does absolute wonders for my girls, and that working as a team towards a big commitment taught her whole family the value of working together and believing in each other.
Listen to this uplifting Truman Charities episode with Liz Huber about CAST

!Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
- The moment Liz solidified her decision to create CAST when a mom named Katie asked her a question while she was studying to be an ISR instructor “How did you get to learn about these lessons before losing a child, while I am only here because my daughter is gone?"
- The misconceptions about puddle jumpers
- The highest drowning rates are among children 1-4 years old Connect with
