I welcome Maria Bartlow and her daughter, Monica Franks, to discuss their campaign to find a kidney donor for their son / brother, Odin. Learn about what each of us can do to help that happen (it’s easier than you might think), as well as listen to a conversation about what it’s like when parents and children have to “switch” roles in caretaking. Help save a life - seriously. You can.

I welcome Dr. Kevin Simpson to the show, a longtime friend, colleague, and partner is studying and teaching about the Holocaust. Join us for a conversation about how psychology and history share common goals and power to illuminate the human condition, and hear about Kevin’s book, “Soccer Under the Swastika.” Through it all, hear two close friends connect over their shared experiences, missions, and interests, with an eye towards continuing their support of each other on their unique life journeys.

In this episode, I welcome Julia Cannell, Executive Director of Airway Science for Kids, to the show to talk about the organization’s mission to help historically excluded youth, as well as how her life story prepared her to do this work and live her purpose. Be sure to have your daughters, moms, and sisters listen, too!

In this first episode of my new one-hour format, I interview my father. After a quick recap and analysis of the week’s news, he and I have an open, honest conversation about our shared experiences as pastor’s kids, the life lessons we have had and continue to learn, what bothers us most about the world, and why Parmesan cheese just might be the King Of All Cheeses.
