In this Bonus episode of Latent Treasures we visit with two Fire Chaplains who have a unique and gritty life story that goes way back into their teens together. Both experienced tons of hardship and abuse and challenges as kids and yet God's hand in their lives - together - has painted this amazing story of love and healing and service! Enjoy the first of three episodes as we get to know their story.

In this episode we continue our chat with Talitha Phillips, discussing her journey and the beautiful work that Claris Health is doing throughout Los Angeles.

Today we shift gears and meet a woman who allowed God to convert a serious crisis experience into redemption, healing and blessing for not only herself but thousands of others! Meet Talitha Phillips, one of Los Angeles' true Latent Treasures.

We truly live in blessed times. Not to ignore or make light of the tragedies around the world or those who still live in horrible conditions, but anyone with the ability to hear this show certainly has blessings unfathomable to so many of our ancestors.

I challenge all of us to find ways to use these blessings and impact others. Let’s keep raising the bar of quality of life for everyone that we reach. I know COVID has been brutal and sadly a cause of death for too many, but if we’ve been given the gift of life, we can all find ways to share it with others struggling to hang onto it!

Interview conclusion highlighting the power of being a servant to those in need. You will need tissues for this one!

In today’s episode of Latent Treasures, we dig into part 2 of our interview with Kim Winston Bigler. We left part 1 with Kim sharing that being faithful to God’s call had actually led her to become a foster parent and eventually an adoptive parent as well. This portion of our conversation will be just as interesting and heart-filled as the first, so settle in, relax and let’s listen in some more to the amazing stories of Kim and James Samaritan.
