#111 Kicked, Beaten and Abused - Kayla Hodges turned pain into PURPOSE and AMBITION! by Shawn and Jennifer Davis

#110 Samantha Foster has lived in fear and torment for most of her life at the hands of abusive men. It first began when she was 3 years old living with a what she calls a "narcissistic sociopath" step-father. He sexually abused, raped and tortured her mother. He tortured, abused and molested her and her siblings. He would hang her and her family members up by their hands and arms on the back porch and then proceed to whip and beat them. He threatened to cut off her ears or nose while holding a knife to her face. As she describes the scene...it sounds like a living hell that she called daily life. At the age of 18, Samantha was finally able to run away from this demented step-father but the cycle of abuse only continued with other men. You see, when you know nothing else by abuse it is the only "familiar" life you know...especially when you were not taught any social or adult life skills. In her late 40's, Samantha was in an abusive relationship with a man that said that he was going to kill her. He had tied her up and then went to go grab his knife in the other room. She was ready to die. She imagined the knife piercing her skin, going through her body and into her heart. In her mind, it would finally be over. The torment, the torture, the abuse would all be over and she was ready. In a moment...everything changed. Her life has never been the same since that day and she recounts the story with Shawn and Jen in this powerful and unforgettable episode of the Hope Radio Podcast. You will hear how Samantha survived that fateful day and how she turned her pain and torture into a mission to help others. This is a must listen to episode of the Hope Radio Podcast!

#108 Jason Breska will be the first person to admit that he grew up in a very rough environment. He grew up in unimaginable poverty often roaming the streets of Brooklyn as a young boy.

In his neighborhood there was a place called Shorefront that had a gymnasium where the local kids all congregated to play basketball. One of the employees of Shorefront used to leave the side door open for kids that didn't have the money to pay to use the facility. Outside looking in, this person was helping the less fortunate kids in the neighborhood. However, there was something far more sinister at play and this "helpful benefactor" was actually farming kids to feed to a local predator. In the neighborhood, he was known by the kids as the Boogieman of Brighton Beach. He was a child predator...

#107 Jeff Culley was standing about 800 feet above the middle fork of the American River. He was on the Foresthill Bridge. He couldn't believe how at peace he was with the moment. All he had to do was let go and in about 9 seconds, every ounce of pain and remorse that he was feeling would be gone. The Foresthill Bridge is the tallest bridge in California.

They had not met yet...but they soon would! This is a must listen to episode of the HOPE RADIO PODCAST! God is so good!!!!

#106 The Hope Radio Podcast was started to give hope to the hopeless. Our original thought was that if we could bring people on to share their life stories of overcoming significant challenges or adversity, those stories would be a lamp post of HOPE for others. Our HOPE was that people would listen and then think...if Jane Smith was able to make it through what she went through...maybe I can make it through what I am dealing with now! MISTIE LAYNE's story could not be a better example of our mission. Her story is INCREDIBLE. Maybe it is her southern charm. Maybe it is the fact that she has overcome some of the most significant challenges that we have heard from a guest yet. Maybe it was God showing up and showing out in her life. If you need HOPE NOW, this is a must listen to episode of the Hope Radio Podcast! It will be difficult to stay hopeless if you listen to the unbelievable story that Mistie shares. Please join Shawn and Jen as they sit down with Mistie to discuss her life and how God redeemed her after she accidentally took the life of an innocent person in drug deal gone wrong.

Rhett Seevers was born on February 7, 1997. His proud parents, Beth and Randy Seevers brought home their bundle of joy to join their family of four. At four months, they were devastated by the news that their little boy had severe cerebral palsy and would face a life full of challenges. They dove in headfirst and learned all they could about his disabilities. On March 13, 2004, after 7 years of full-time care, love, and devotion, Rhett passed away at home unexpectedly with his family by his side. In the spring of 2005, as the anniversary of Rhett's death approached, a friend of Beth's introduced her to running. She learned of the 1st annual Shamrock'n ½ marathon. It was ironically being held on the first anniversary of Rhett's passing. Completing the run was such an inspiration to Beth. The following year, she asked that her friends and family join her. Join her they did; 35 additional friends and family donned the first baby blue running shirts that year. In the spring of 2007, with the addition of an organized training group, over 125 people participated in the race. On December 7, 2007, the “Runnin' for Rhett Non-Profit” was founded. The organization has now inspired 1000's of youth and adults in the Sacramento area. In Rhett's short life, he inspired many people with his infectious smile and will to live, but with his challenges, he could not walk, run or jump – no matter how hard he tried. After Rhett's death, Beth and Randy dedicated their memory of Rhett to utilizing FITNESS and MOVING to help others do what Rhett wanted to do so badly but couldn't. Please join Shawn and Jen as they sit down and talk with Beth and Randy Seevers about Rhett, their charity "Runnin for Rhett" and how it has given them HOPE out of the ashes of their tragic loss.

#90 Imagine a Cafe with a very tasty menu of food options but no prices?!?! Imagine if the owners of the cafe said..."Pay what you can and if you can't pay, the meal is on us!" On a flight from Austin, TX to Denver, CO, Brad and Libby Birky plotted out the foundation of SAME Café (So All May Eat) on the back of a cocktail napkin and on a page from the in-flight magazine. Both had devoted innumerable hours to soup kitchens and food banks, wanting to do their part in the fight against hunger. At the time, Libby was teaching and Brad was working at a computer company in addition to taking culinary classes. They wanted to combine all of their experiences into a place that offered amazing food, a commitment to service, and a place to broaden one's view of the world. SAME Café was born and continues to grow and expand. The first day open was October 20, 2006. That was also the day that Libby zapped herself silly plugging in a fridge with wet hands. The two have learned a lot since that opening day. They were the second restaurant like this that they knew of in the country. The original restaurant is One World Café in Salt Lake City, UT. The founder of that restaurant, Denise Cerreta, was so gracious in helping Brad and Libby open a slightly different version of her pay-what-you-can café. Since then, there have been many other restaurants based on similar models popping up all over the country. Please join Shawn and Jen as they talk with Brad and Libby Birky about their incredible endeavor to make a difference in fighting hunger across the country.

#74 Mary Jenkins was a single Mom when she got the diagnosis that she had stage 3...almost stage 4 breast cancer. To say that she didn't see it coming was an understatement. It completely rocked her world and sent her into the fight of her life. Here she was a single mother, sole income earner fighting this incredible battle with no additional financial support. Imagine fighting for your life while still having to go to work every day to earn enough money to pay for every day living expenses.

#68 Samantha Lane lost her father in a motorcycle accident at a young age. It effected her and her siblings differently. She decided that she was going to take on the roll of being the “good kid.” The one that did everything right, didn't make waves, got good grades…the person that everyone could count on to not cause problems. Fast forward almost 15 years later and that mindset had turned her into a workaholic high achiever with no real balance in her life. It took her having a significant health challenge to reset her perspective on life, balance and time management. With renewed focus on truly “living” instead of just being a business high achiever, she found herself looking for a better way to track her daily, weekly and monthly goals. All the “planners” that she found were somehow lacking what she needed or wanted so she decided to do something about it! She created her own time management planner and began to help others focus on a more balanced life. Please join Shawn and Jen as they sit down with Samantha Lane to discuss life, health challenges, being a recovering workaholic and living a life of balance.
