    9/5/25 Remembering 9yo Addi Keegan BPWU S6

    9/5/25 Remembering 9yo Addi Keegan BPWU S6 E29 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For Addi Keegan’s family, it’s every second of every day. Awareness. Inescapable awareness… of the enormity of what cancer can take and of the memories, love and legacy it can never steal. As we gather around the virtual gratitude table this morning for our The Best Part of Waking Up **IS** Waking Up series, we’ll look back at Addi’s, story and the LOVE she felt from so many, including her favorite country singer Luke Bryan. When we met Addi 8 years ago and asked her just HOW MUCH she loves Luke Bryan, she lit up and said “9,999 stars and hearts." How do you even begin to calculate THAT level of love?:) Then MORE LOVE ensued when A Special Wish Cleveland gave Luke Bryan a window into Addi’s beautiful 9-year-old heart and she got to meet him! Annnnddd…. The good heart and soul band members of Cleveland’s Country Redford treated Addi and her family to a live all Luke Bryan music concert in her own back yard. It’s SO TRUE! - -The Best Good Stuff often rises up out of the unthinkable. -Legacies we leave can be impactful if we get 9 years or 90 years. -There is POWER in See The Good in Others. Be The Good For Them. Grab a cup of coffee and join us in celebrating Addi and the Keegan family and cancer warriors and their families everywhere. Let's celebrate all The Good Stuff things that can happen when Love Leads.

She joins us live to talk about WHY we’re so PROUD of The University of Missouri. Also, 4 years later we remember the 13 US Service members who died Aug 26, 2001 in the Abbey Gate Attacks. August 26th marked 4 years since suicide bombers and gunmen killed 13 American service members in Kabul days before the full withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. It was 2021 when they paid the ultimate price and 20-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, from St. Louis, was one of them.His Gold Star family continues to pay the price. So today after the headlines have passed, we settle in with Jared’s proud dad, Mark Schmitz to talk about what this Gold Star Dad is doing in the wake of that soul crushing loss. Grassroots Good Stuff in the works right now in Missouri that will uplift encourage and inspire veterans who may be struggling right now.THEfreedom13.org is how Mark Schmitz is seeing The Good in the veterans of today and being The Good for them in Jared’s name.

    Mountains, Mindsets and Making a Difference: The Saanvi Mylavarapu Story

    Mountains, Mindsets and Making a Difference: The Saanvi Mylavarapu Story Saanvi Mylavarapu is an 18-year-old youth advocate, especially in the realm of mental health, an environmental changemaker, and an incoming neuroscience freshman at Emory University. Her journey, though rooted in science, is deeply spiritual…led by faith, a connection to nature, and a calling to make this world better for the next generation. She believes dirt under your nails is a badge of healing, and faith in action means fighting for the planet and its people… What began as a childhood love for trees and trails turned into Project Nature Worthy, a national youth-led movement focused on how time in nature heals our brains, especially those struggling with mental health challenges, grief, or trauma.  Saanvi has hiked more than 1,000 miles across national parks, often with her mom by her side collecting not just memories but mission. From backpacking across national parks to pushing for policy change on Capitol Hill, Saanvi says it’s never been about media. It’s always been about meaning...that even the youngest voices can carry God’s light.
