Our discussion paints a vivid picture of the interplay between local ordinances, unsheltered populations, and the role of the police in addressing these societal challenges. This episode peels back the layers of complexity surrounding homelessness, exploring the delicate balance of supporting individual rights while maintaining residential areas. We examine the effectiveness of ordinances in handling unauthorized camping and panhandling, the implications for businesses and residents, and the importance of compassion in enforcement. As we navigate the intricacies of community advocacy, we illuminate the varied perspectives on homelessness, highlighting the efforts of community organizations to advocate for our city's most vulnerable.

This episode is a journey of reflection and inspiration, tracking the footprints of a man whose childhood curiosity in a seventh-grade science class blossomed into a career in engineering which shaped a path to full time ministry in Topeka. Johnathan Sublet, Interim Executive Director and Board Chairman for SENT and Servant Pastor at Fellowship Hi-Crest, shares the powerful influence of mentors and the support that shaped his mission.
Johnathan also takes us on a deep dive into the work of revitalizing the Hi-Crest neighborhood, where hearts are being mended and futures are being forged. He maps out the impact of strategic housing projects, educational initiatives, and wholistic health for each individual.  Lasting change emerges not just from grand gestures, but from the everyday engagement that Jonathan, SENT, and Fellowship Hi-Crest exemplify, proving that the true measure of our mission lies in the lives we touch and the legacy we leave.

Sunday wouldn't have mattered if Friday didn't happen.
In this episode we reflect on the incredible sacrifice that Jesus paid for all of us. We are joined by Mike Schoettle who shares from his "Sacred Steps" devotional series written for TRM staff in the weeks leading up to Easter. Mike's devotionals, steeped in authenticity and reverence, help guide us to a deeper appreciation of the transformative power of Christ's love through His tremendous suffering, and the invitation to an eternal relationship with God that's open to all. Remembering the constancy of God's love, this episode is a reminder that the hope ignited by Easter is not confined to a single Sunday but extends into every moment of our existence.
