Host Evan Semanco is joined by co-host Robyn Horton this week, the Queen of Do-Goodery (a.k.a the Do Good Pastor) to talk with the founders of Redefined Ministries, Jerri Anne Blankenship and Mindy Lancaster.
Jerri and Mindy share their heart to help women in prison, how they started in 2020 with a crazy idea, and now have helped thousands of women in prison receive gifts at Christmas. We hope you are inspired by Mindy and Jerri and help pack a bag this Sunday, December 1st at the Boardwalk as we kick off Christmas at the Movies at 9:00, 10:00, or 11:00 a.m.

Host Evan Semanco is one on one with one of most popular guests, Dr. Peri Reed to talk about not being ok. Peri is a professional Christian Counselor who attends the Simple Church, runs a counseling center (Shreveport Counseling and Restoration Center), and is working on her first book!
We talk with Peri to process what it means to not be ok, what do to if you or someone you know is not ok right now, how to help someone battling an addiction, and steps to take to work on getting where you want to be.
P.S. You might have seen a similar episode with Peri in October, there was an audio glitch that lost part of the recording, so we re-recorded a new podcast

Host Evan Semanco is joined by special guests Brittney Reeve and Haylie Hays to share how one message on a Sunday has sent them on a 6+ year journey of doing good and raising over $200,000.
Brittney and Haylie and their team will walk 118 miles this November, because that is the average amount of miles women in Honduras walk each month to get access to clean water. If you want to be a part of helping solve this crisis, you can join them for the Final Mile on Sunday, November 24th, 2024 at the Louisiana Boardwalk or donate with the link below.
