    Ken Loyd - Noticing the Small Things That Stay with Us

    Longtime friend Ken Loyd returns to Rumors of Doing Good to share a story that has stayed with him for nearly 45 years—about a man named Roy Rogers (not that Roy Rogers!), whose simple, quiet love changed a room and a life. In this conversation, Ken and Rob reflect on the small gestures that stay with us—the way someone looks at you when you speak, the warmth of a hand being held, the feeling of being seen without needing to perform. Ken remembers Roy not for eloquent words or impressive credentials, but for a love that was uncomplicated, sincere, and disarming. As Ken's own life and health have changed over time, he finds himself drawn more and more to that kind of simplicity: a faith made real in presence, tenderness, humor, and humanity. This episode is a reminder that: We are shaped by the ordinary moments. We are remembered for how we loved, not what we accomplished. And sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. Maybe the good life really is that simple.

    Jack Holloway - Holding Space for the Heavy Hearted

    In this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob Schellert speaks with Jack Holloway, founder of Despair Sanctuary in Brooklyn, New York, USA. What began as a moment of despair over taxes owed unexpectedly grew into a vision for creating vigils for the weary—a sanctuary where sorrow is honored and lament is made sacred. Jack shares the story behind Despair Sanctuary, the heart and vision that sustain it, and his love for drone music—slow, heavy, sustained soundscapes that create space for grief, stillness, and faithful lament. Together, they explore what it means to grieve faithfully in a world that often rushes past pain.

    Minori Sueyoshi - Skateboarding as Presence, Patience & Becoming Real

    In this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob Schellert talks with Minori Sueyoshi, a skateboarder from Fukuoka, Japan, whose story is one of faith, friendship, and finding purpose on four small wheels.

His journey reflects the quiet ways God meets us in ordinary passions and turns them into pathways for connection and transformation. Through falls and breakthroughs, Minori has learned what it means to live his faith in motion — creating safe spaces where others can show up as their true selves and discover belonging. Join us for a conversation about resilience, community, and the surprising places where good news shows up — even on a skateboard. Intro/Outro music by skinfiltr8r.
