Denver Moore lebt seit über 30 Jahren auf der Straße in Fort Worth, Texas. Er wuchs unter den Jim-Crow-Gesetzen in den Südstaaten auf und arbeitete ohne Lohn auf einer Baumwollplantage. In den 90er Jahren meidet er andere Menschen. In einer Obdachlosenmission lernt er das Ehepaar Hall kennen. Ron und Debbie Hall arbeiten ehrenamtlich in der Küche der Mission. Als Debbie Denver zum ersten Mal sieht, hat sie eine ungewöhnliche Bitte an ihren Ehemann: Er soll sich mit Denver anfreunden. Was als eine Geste der Liebe zu seiner Frau beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer tiefen und lebensverändernden Freundschaft. Ron erkennt schnell, dass Denver ihm viel mehr zu bieten hat, als er zunächst dachte. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die unwahrscheinliche Freundschaft zwischen zwei Männern aus völlig unterschiedlichen Welten und beleuchten das große gesellschaftliche Problem der Obdachlosigkeit.

Ron Halls life was centered around a successful career as an international art dealer and a passion for his Rocky Top ranch on the Brazos River. All this changed in 1998 as a result on an encounter with a homeless man, Denver Moore, who was threatening to kill everyone in the Fort Worth, Texas homeless shelter where Ron and his wife Deborah had begun to volunteer two weeks earlier. After the death of his wife in November, 2000, Denver Moore moved in with Ron and lived with him for the next ten years. This life changing encounter, featured on many television and radio shows inspired Ron to write his first book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, a story of hope and redemption. The word of mouth hit became a New York Times platinum bestseller and stayed on the list for more than three and a half years. In 2007, President Bush appointed Ron to the State Department Cultural Property Committee to advise the President on diplomatic matters regarding international art and antiquities. He served through December 2011. Currently, Ron is a screenwriter and producer of the movie version of his book SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME. It opened in theaters across America by Paramount Pictures October 20, 2017. He recently published SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME, Children's version and WORKING OUR WAY HOME, the story of the ten years he and Denver lived together. He is currently writing the sequel for the movie. Ron and his wife Beth, reside in Dallas where they direct the Same Kind of Different as MeFoundation, SKODAM.org, established to raise money and awareness for the homeless.

In this episode EmmyB and Shae Featherstone discuss homelessness and the lessons we learn from the non-fiction memoir, "Same Kind of Different As Me" by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. We explore some of the common causes of homelessness, seeing the homeless people behind the label, and having courage to help where we can.

Master communication with Army Veteran and Merrill Wealth Management Advisor. His book recommendations: "Same Kind of Different As Me" -Ron Hall, Denver Moore, Lynn Vincent

If you know me, you know I love me a great book. Memoirs and non-fiction are my favorite. I am so giddy to have one of my favorite book authors on the show today. This book,  Same Kind of Different As Me,  changed my view on the homeless, taught me how to get out of my comfort zone and love others well. This is the book I always recommend to others when they want to open their heart and love others well.  I wanted to bring you a story of hope this week, and this is definitely that story. The book, and now a movie, is about a true story of how a Successful businessman, Ron Hall and his wife, Deborah, discover a renewed sense of purpose when they begin to volunteer at a local mission in Fort Worth, Texas. Their lives change forever when they develop an unlikely friendship with Denver Moore, a homeless man who inspires them to save their struggling marriage. This synopsis doesn’t even do it justice. You will be in awe of this story. I literally sat with my mouth wide open listening to him tell it over again.  Ron is a very sought after speaker, author, and producer.  I encourage you to get the book,  Same Kind of Different As Me, and his follow up book  Workin’ Our Way Home, that details the relationship between Denver and Ron after their encounter.  Or if you need a great movie to watch with your family, you can find the movie on Netflix, with an incredible cast like Renée Zellweger, Greg Kinnear,  Djimon Hounsou. I promise you will want your entire family to listen to Ron recount his incredible journey with someone he would have never thought would be his lifelong friend.  Check out our show notes to get in touch with Ron and links to his books:

SUMMARY Ron Hall and his once-homeless friend Denver Moore chronicle the story of their friendship in "Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together." Through word-of-mouth, the book became a New York Times #1 platinum bestseller and stayed on the list for more than three and a half years. Now, with more than a million copies in circulation, the book is inspiring many to reach out to help the homeless in their own communities. With the strong urging of his wife Debbie, Ron Hall, a modern-day Good Samaritan, has spent the last 20 years replacing his high-society lifestyle with authentic concern for the downtrodden and tireless effort to lift the homeless. KEY POINTS Some homeless people genuinely like the freedom of not having to conform to rules and expectations and of circumventing responsibility and accountability. Denver would have none of the white man’s “catch-and-release” type of friendship. What the homeless want more than anything is to be dignified and to be humanized. Denver’s coins the phrase “Same kind of different as me” to describe how we all have more in common than not. We make the homeless invisible by not looking at them and connecting with them as humans. Ways to help humanize and give dignity to the homeless: ask their name; sit down and have a conversation with them; offer to let them use your cell phone to call their mother; buy them a bus ticket home; pray for what it is they most want; don’t judge them. QUOTES FROM HALL AND DENVER Ron Hall “While I dedicated my life to making money and spent a few minutes parked in a church pew on Sundays, she spent hours at Brian’s House, a ministry to homeless babies with AIDS. When I stormed Europe impressing billionaires with my art savvy, she stormed heaven, praying for the needy. My passion was recognition and success. Her passion was to know God.” "But he [Denver] remained absolutely convinced that his way of life was no worse than mine, only different, pointing out in the process certain inconsistencies: Why, he wondered, did rich people call it sushi while poor people called it bait?" "Driving home, [Debbie] reflected aloud on how society generally regards the homeless as lazy and foolish, and maybe some were. But she felt there was so much more below that surface image: dysfunction and addiction, yes. But also gifts—like love, faith, and wisdom—that lay hidden like pearls waiting only to be discovered, polished, and set." "It’s just a simple fact that in America drugs and booze cost money, but food is free to anyone willing to snooze through a gospel message." “You don’t become homeless because you run out of money; you become homeless when you run out of friends and family who will take you in.” Denver Moore "If you took a normal fella and dropped him off in the hobo jungle or under the bridge, he wouldn’t know what to do. You got to be taught to live homeless." "You…feel like nobody in the world cares nothin about you. Don’t matter if you live or die. People with that spirit get mean, dangerous. They play by the rules of the jungle.” "I didn’t scare everybody, though. I slept in the doorway of that United Way over on Commerce Street for a whole lotta years. And every mornin for all that time, a lady who worked there brought me a sandwich. I never knowed her name and she never knowed mine. I wish I could thank her. Funny, though. That United Way buildin was right next door to a church, and for all them years, nobody at that church ever looked my way." "The Word says God don’t give us credit for lovin the folks we want to love anyway. No, He gives us credit for loving the unlovable. The perfect love of God don’t come with no conditions, and that’s the kind of love Miss Debbie showed the folks at the mission." “I want to know why all you Christians worship one homeless man on Sunday, then you turn your back on the first one you see on Monday.” “We’re all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us. The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or somethin in between, this earth ain’t no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless—just workin our way toward home."

Thank you for joining us at Thriving Beyond Belief today! I am so excited to introduce Kathy Izard to the podcast. It was such a blessing being able to speak with her. Kathy is a fellow Texan that now lives in North Carolina. She is happily married with four daughters. Kathy recently wrote a book titled “The Hundred Story Home”, that will be released this month! This book is about her own story and hearing the voice of the Lord, and how you can listen to His voice in your own life! Thriving, to Kathy, is defined as living joyfully and purposefully. We see this in her own story. Regarding Kathy’s story, we discuss how mothers can so often put the voice of the Lord for their own life on the back burner to the lives of their children. Kathy was at a place in her life where she began seeking out that voice to begin change in her own walk with the Lord. In truly hearing  that voice, Kathy’s life suddenly had true, eternal purpose and direction. We talk all about how age is not an issue for the Lord. He is using everyone for His glory for their entire lives. She encourages us to never discount dreams the Lord gives us and to truly believe God to fill your life with His purpose. After reading a book about a couple that embraced homelessness, Kathy was haunted by the obedience of the family in the book to truly help the homeless in their community. She met Denver Moore, author of "Same Kind of Difference As Me", and after some crazy circumstances, Kathy left her full time job to take on working for homeless community in her city, called Moore Place. What she believed to be a mere career change turned into a passion lit within her to build a shelter and run a ministry that truly helped the homeless in Charlotte. Kathy says that God’s path isn’t without its trials and unknown moments. She faced fears and disappointments along the path the Lord was leading her down. But along the way of helping the homeless, Kathy found her own way home, she found her faith again through this process, and learned to trust in the Lord’s timing. When discussing marriage, Kathy emphasizes the need for compromise and laughter to make marriage joyful. We emphasize the need to focus on eternity in order to prioritize what we do here today. And now with older children, Kathy talks about the balance between giving children roots and wings.  I hope you join us today for this podcast to be encouraged, challenged, and inspired by what the Lord is calling you to!
