    CURE Board Member Marcia McIntyre on NOT Being the Picture-Perfect, American, Rich Lady

    In this episode of CURE Conversations, Liz Forkin Bohannon sits down with Marcia McIntyre, longtime CURE International Board Member and a driving force behind CURE's work in the West African country of Niger. In this episode, she gets vulnerable sharing her story, her doubts about this whole international missions thing, and how she feels she's been used by God, even though she's not this picture-perfect, American, rich lady - the type who always seems to make the news for participating in projects around the continent.  From building a hospital to practicing the quiet, holy work of presence, Marcia has seen God work MIGHTILY in her through years of showing up - imperfect, honest, and open. This episode is all about saying "yes," showing up (even when it's hard), and finding out that, at CURE hospitals, healing can flow both ways if you're open to letting God do His thing.  Join Club CURE: https://cure.org/club-cure More About CURE Niger: https://cure.org/hospitals/niger/ The song Liz and Marcia reference at 32m 30s is Anthem by Leonard Cohen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-BT6y_wYg

    EVEREVE's Mike Tamte on Faith, Business, and Generosity (from the Dressing Room to the Operating Room)

    In this episode of CURE Conversations, Liz Forkin Bohannon sits down with Mike Tamte, co-founder of EVEREVE, to explore the remarkable story behind one of the most values-driven women’s fashion retailers in the country. What began as a frustrating shopping experience for Mike’s wife, Megan — feeling unseen and overwhelmed in a dressing room as a young mom — grew into a nationwide brand built on a simple yet powerful promise: We love fashion, but we love people more. Mike shares the entrepreneurial journey from EVEREVE’s early days as “Hot Mama,” through a bold and risky rebrand, to building a company culture where customers feel genuinely known, stylists don’t work on commission, and retail jobs have waiting lists. Along the way, he opens up about how faith has shaped EVEREVE’s leadership, values, and approach to scaling culture across more than 100 stores. The conversation also dives deep into Mike’s personal philosophy of generosity—why giving is a spiritual discipline, why it’s often still hard, and how generosity has shaped his life and priorities. Mike shares a powerful story of God’s faithfulness early in his career and explains how he and Megan discern where to give in a world full of worthy causes.

    Brant Hansen on Finding Jesus at the Margins

    In this first episode of CURE Conversations, host Liz Bohannon sits down with bestselling author and radio personality Brant Hansen, a longtime friend of CURE International. Brant shares how a simple run-in with CURE at a concert 16 years ago changed the trajectory of his life and ignited a passion for children with treatable disabilities. From walking hospital halls in Ethiopia and Zimbabwe to witnessing surgeries that restore both bodies and hope, Brant unpacks why he believes CURE is one of the clearest pictures of Jesus at work in the world today. This conversation reminds us that to draw closer to God, we must draw closer to the most vulnerable.
