We had the pleasure to interview Fred Broome. He is the lead pastor for Calvery Church in Republic Missouri. Fred grew up in Charlotte North Carolina and had a rough childhood. He had several people in his life who helped lead him in his walk with Jesus.

We share how he found faith and how his father was the constant in his life. How he was invited to church and just kept going back. Against all the odds, he found his calling in life in ministry and now is a father himself.

We return this week with our second repeat guest, Lauren Farmer.

As the Director of SWMO CASA, Southwest Missouri Court Appointed Special Advocates, for the last six years. Laura did her original podcast with Chris in March 2019.

In this episode, we talk with Laura about the mission behind CASA and how they are working to build a program that provides a CASA volunteer for the 1,300 children in foster care across Greene, Christian, and Taney Counties.

This episode is a 10/10, as we dig deep into what is happening with CASA in the coming year and Mel talks about her connection to foster care and involvement in CASA's large fundraiser in the fall, Lift Up a Child Fitness Challenge coming in September.

In the midst of the pandemic, these two backyard grilling warriors and best friends since middle school was struck by the absence of access to quality grilling products paired with exceptional customer service in the 417. With the calling to fill that need, Skyler and Charlie worked tirelessly along with their families to prepare to open "The Grill Guys."

We have the opportunity to meet a variety of people as we move about our community, and our weekly trips to Blacklab Coffee have not left us in short supply of new friends. One of our new friends, Josh Boley joins us on the podcast to talk about his life adventures.

As a 4th generation veteran, Josh knew going into a branch of the military service would happen at some point in his life. After going to school and pursuing a career in drafting, Josh found himself reaching for a career that he no longer felt a passion for. Josh decided to enlist in the Marines and completely change his path in life.
