    He Saved a LIFE with PRAYER Officer Antonio Richardson | Tanji Patton's Goodtaste for the Soul e77

    There’s so much more to the story of Officer Antonio Richardson, the Florida police officer who spent nearly 40 minutes on a bridge talking a man out of taking his own life. It's an extraordinary encounter, and the bodycam footage from that night is nothing short of riveting. But there's so much more to the story. What I didn't expect was to discover Officer Richardson's own remarkable journey—a life shaped by faith, perseverance, purpose, and the extraordinary ways God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary moments. On this episode of Goodtaste for the Soul, you'll witness the tense moments that saved a life, but you'll also discover the story behind the man God placed on that bridge. It's a powerful reminder that we never know how our own experiences, struggles, and acts of faith may one day become exactly what someone else needs. You'll celebrate the life that was saved, but perhaps even more, you'll see the beautiful way God orchestrated one man's life to be exactly where he was needed to save another. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    What Happens When You Start “Wasting Time” with God? | Goodtaste for the Soul e75

    Some of our most treasured moments in life come from simply “wasting time” with friends and loved ones. But what if we spent more time “wasting time” with God—praying outside the box, in ways and at times we may have never considered? According to Ryan Skoog, co-author of the powerful book Lead with Prayer, that's exactly what many effective leaders are doing. Ryan shares that some Fortune 500 executives regularly pray with their teams at work. Most of us never hear about it because corporate policies and legal concerns keep those practices behind the scenes. But this conversation isn't just about leadership in the boardroom. It's also about leadership at home. Whether we're raising children, supporting a spouse, or simply influencing those around us, prayer has the power to shape our families and strengthen the relationships that matter most. Reading Lead with Prayer expanded my understanding of the transformational impact prayer can have on businesses, families, and communities. I'm grateful Ryan took the time to join us and share why prayer isn't just something we do before we lead—it's often the very thing that makes great leadership possible. www.leadwithprayer.com www.venture.org 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Goya Executive Chef Fernando Desa | Goodtaste for the Soul e74

    Food has a way of tying itself to the moments we never forget — family gatherings, celebrations, hard conversations, even the ordinary nights around the table. Long before we remember the recipe, we remember how it made us feel. If you watch Goodtaste with Tanji, you know Chef Fernando Desa, the guy I’ve cooked with in the Goya Foods kitchens for nearly 10 years.  But there’s a lot more to his story than what happens in the kitchen. Before food, Fernando was actually headed toward a career in medicine. Somewhere along the way, life took a very different turn — one that eventually led him from family traditions and culture to baseball stadiums, television, and kitchens across America. But what stayed constant through all of it was his heart for people…something I’ve witnessed firsthand. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Easy Ways to Get the Protein You Need! | Goodtaste for the Soul e73

    If you’re taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, you already know they can dramatically reduce your appetite. But while eating less may help with weight loss, it can also create a new challenge—getting enough protein to protect your muscle, energy, and overall health. The amount of protein experts now recommend while taking these medications may actually surprise you.    We recently spoke to an endocrinologist about the risks and benefits of GLP-1’s, today, we’re talking with the corporate chef for Sysco Foods who has some easy ways to get more than 100+ grams of protein in one single meal, including a delicious, creamy ranch dressing with up to 20 grams of protein per serving! Today, we’re talking  about why protein matters so much when you’re taking these medications, the signs you may not be getting enough, and simple ways to add more protein into your day—even when you’re not very hungry. From smart snack ideas to easy meal strategies, this conversation could make a big difference in how you feel while on your weight-loss journey. 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    From Homeless to Hopeful w/ Dom Yanas | Tanji Patton's Goodtaste for the Soul e71

    About our episode on homelessness—did you hear it? A few weeks ago on this podcast, I shared the story of a remarkable woman who connects with people experiencing homelessness in a way I hadn’t seen before. She has this rare ability to look past what’s on the surface and truly see the person underneath. Instead of judging, she meets people with dignity and presence. That conversation stayed with me and led me to reach out to another voice doing similar work at Communities Under the Bridge in the Alamo City. He once experienced homelessness himself, actually lived in a shelter, and came out of it with a clear sense of purpose and a unique understanding of the problem. His perspective is both honest and challenging: homelessness may not be something we fully “solve,” but meaningful change is still possible—depending on how we choose to show up, respond, and engage with those living it every day.   Perhaps, there’s something here we can all embrace! 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!

    Most of us have thought about what comes next—what happens when this life ends. But what if some people have already caught a glimpse of it? Today, we’re talking with an expert  on near-death experiences, New York Times bestselling author John Burke, who has spent years studying hundreds of stories from those who say they’ve seen beyond this life—and returned to tell about it.  His findings are fascinating—so much so that even doctors and researchers who once dismissed the topic are now leaning in.  So what are people really seeing… and what might God be trying to show us through it? 📺 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for delicious new videos every week! https://www.youtube.com/@GoodTastewithTanji?sub_confirmation=1 🍽️ Watch full clips and featured recipes from Goodtaste with Tanji: https://www.goodtaste.tv/recipes/ 📧 Sign up for our weekly newsletter!
