Terence Lester, who briefly experienced homelessness as a teen, is serious about helping those who are stuck in a cycle of poverty. He has proved his seriousness by walking from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. and from Atlanta to Memphis, in order to raise awareness about the issue. Terence and his wife Cecilia, are the founders of Love Beyond Walls, an organization dedicated to helping those who are disadvantaged and facing homelessness. His daughter Zion started helping as a child and has a passion to inform other children about the importance of serving the community and started writing books to help spread awareness. They share insight and advice about how to show kindness to those around us and the uniqueness of each person's story.

In a 6-3 decision by the justices, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that outdoor sleeping bans do not violate the Eighth Amendment. The decision essentially allows cities to make it illegal for unhoused people to sleep outdoors, even when shelter space is unavailable. Dr. Terence Lester, the founder and executive director of Love Beyond Walls, discusses how this ruling will affect those who are unhoused in the Atlanta area. Filmmaker Hal Jacobs and Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Jason Ulseth discuss their new documentary, “Saving the Chattahoochee.” It spotlights Sally Bethea, one of America's first female riverkeepers. The film focuses on her decades-long effort to maintain the health of the river. Plus, Editor Dan Whisenhunt discusses a big announcement: the new ownership of his digital media business, Decaturish.com, by Appen Media, a local and family-owned newspaper company. Whisenhunt is joined by Carl Appen, the director of content and development at Appen Media, to discuss what the arrangement means for the future of both of their news outlets. Lastly, Anthony Michael Kreis, an assistant professor of law at Georgia State University, gives an analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the question of whether former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts they take while in office. According to NPR, in a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that “a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers — and is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts, but lacks immunity for unofficial acts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wow. I hope you listen to and feel this one. My second Sacred Conversation is with Terence Lester, Ph.D., a soul who does sacred work to restore and celebrate the dignity of those who are unhoused and/or invisible. He is a husband, father, author, and founder of both Love Beyond Walls and Dignity Museum. In our very soulful, vulnerable conversation, we talk about the profound self-harm caused by not seeing the dignity of other souls, the cost of invisibility, our life journeys of spiritual servitude, and the priceless personal and collective value of true listening.Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other's journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way. My new book Dear Artist, and all my books are available at jaiyajohn.com (thank you for purchasing directly from the author) and at booksellers worldwide. Audiobooks, eBooks, book specials, sleep stories, audio talks, apparel, and piano music are exclusively at my website.

Storyteller and public scholar, community activist and author Dr. Terence Lester invests his wealth of wisdom and stories from his own experience into the Be the Bridge community in this conversation with Latasha Morrison. Dr. Lester shares about his restorative work with Love Beyond Walls, a non-profit which is bringing true social change serving people who are experiencing homelessness in Atlanta and beyond. They talk about the disconnect the church in America has with seeing people on mission trips with dignity but not people in our own communities with that same dignity. And they have a vulnerable discussion around “the talk” that Black and Brown families in America have in their homes because of having to survive in and navigate this racialized society. This episode of the Be the Bridge Podcast will remind you of the power one person can have in someone's life and the power there is in truly seeing people. It also brings continued conviction that covering up history and removing access to information prevents healing, reconciliation, justice, and redemption. We hope this conversation will prompt you to allow your own historical shaping to be interrogated and empower you to be a person of peace. May the power of God at work in Dr. Lester's life offer encouragement that God is at work in and around you as well.

In 2013, Terence Lester took to the streets and embarked on life as a homeless person for one month. During this time, he experienced a taste of what it was like to be put out of shelters, to sleep under bridges, eat handouts, to beg for money, be expelled from restaurants, and stay awake for hours in discomfort. While some criticized his decision, he felt it was critical to walk in the shoes of those experiencing homelessness in order to understand how to better serve people through his organization, Love Beyond Walls.In this episode, Bob Dalton interviews Terence on what he learned from his time on the streets, the importance of caring for yourself as a nonprofit leader, and breaking down stereotypes we have of one another.Learn more by visiting www.lovebeyondwalls.org

Matt Brough welcomes Terence Lester to the podcast for a hopeful and inspiring conversation about justice. Terence is the founder of Love Beyond Walls, a nonprofit organization focused on poverty awareness and community mobilization and is the author of When We Stand: The Power of Seeking Justice Together.

"I started to create what I call a 'let-go list,' trying to figure out as I evolve as a person, as a community leader, and as a co-leader in my family, really taking an evaluation and assessing the things I need to shed and let go as I create the type of space to give myself and my life to things that matter most in the moment." Terence Lester is a speaker, activist, author, and thought leader in the realm of systemic poverty. He is the founder of Love Beyond Walls, a non-profit organization focused on poverty awareness and community mobilization. His nationwide campaigns have been featured on MLK50, CNN, Good Morning America, USA Today just to name a few.  According to Terence, by reorganizing our time and getting into communities with others (even if it's just one trusted person!), we can all show up and make a difference in the world--whether it's “30 minutes a week or an hour every other week.” If “1000 people” can give “an hour of time,” Terence believes that the “compounded collective impact can make a huge difference.” Listen to this inspirational conversation as you make your New Year's resolutions.

Chapter Two: Impact Over Intentions Insight: The impact of your organizational culture on people of color is more important than your good intentions for diversity. Action: Prioritize hearing, believing, and following the leadership of people of color. Follow the lead of those most impacted by the problem. Terence is a speaker, an activist, an author and thought leader on systemic poverty. He's known for nationwide campaigns that bring awareness to issues surrounding homelessness and economic inequality. His awareness campaigns have been featured on MLK50, CNN, Good Morning America, TVONE, Creative Mornings, USA Today, NBC, AJC, Black Enterprise, Rolling Out, Upworthy, and have been viewed by millions of people worldwide. In 2013, Terence founded the non-profit “Love Beyond Walls” and has helped hundreds of individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty to rebuild their lives. In 2019, Terence launched the Dignity Museum, the first shipping container museum in the U.S. specifically dedicated telling the stories of people who've experienced homelessness. Terence has written six books, and his new book, “When We Stand: The Power Of Seeking Justice Together,” released in May. He also holds four degrees and is working towards his Ph.D. at Union Institute & University in Public Policy & Social Change. So clearly, Terence is someone who has so much to teach us. But what I loved most about this conversation was how Terence pulled from his personal story and lived experiences to illuminate the nuances of living in a racialized society. This is a stellar conversation. Enjoy! Access episode transcript here. The Diversity Gap exists to help leaders pair their good intentions for diversity with true cultural change.

We don't know what to do and might think that we don't have anything to offer. But by using our gifts in collaboration with others, we can do more together than we ever could on our own. Activist Terence Lester knows it's hard to change the world. But mobilizing and acting together empowers us to do what we can't do as isolated individuals. Lester looks at the obstacles that prevent us from getting involved, and he offers practical ways that we can accomplish things together as groups, families, churches, and communities. He helps us find our place in the larger picture, discerning the unique ways we can contribute and make a difference. By connecting with our neighbors and discovering our own paths of service, we can drastically change how we follow Christ and see God moving in the world. Togetherness and community give visible testimony of the power of the gospel. In this broken world, the body of Christ can transform society―when we stand together.________________Find more stories regarding the IFB movement by visiting:– preacherboysdoc.com– https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/– https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc– https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community who share the Eric Skwarczynski and the Preacher Boys Podcast mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Terence also defines for us that loving your neighbor includes loving their neighborhood, and everything that impacts our neighbor, "If you're going to love your neighbor, you also have to love the place that shaped them, and you have to be concerned with the issues that shaped the neighborhood. You can't just love the neighbor and leave out the neighborhood." Terence describes how there are people willing, but not necessarily available - and he describes service as a lifestyle, not an event. He empowers each listener to not underestimate the impact you can make. No matter how small we feel - as a whole together the impact can be great. Finally, you'll want to listen to the beautiful tribute Terence shares about his wife in the final question about the person who helped him become who he is today.

On the Better Samaritan we often talk about how to make 'the road' safer. This stems from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s sermon, pointing out that helping the wounded person in front of us is not enough; we also have to look up the road and determine what is causing it to be so dangerous. In humanitarian work, of course, these are known as systemic challenges. Terence Lester, our guest on this episode, knows a thing or two about systemic challenges—and evaluating streets for safety. At more than one point in his life, he has lived among the homeless. (Listen to the episode for more on that.) Now, as an author, activist, speaker and founder of Love Beyond Walls, he's a great example of a Better Samaritan. His new book, When We Stand, casts a specific and hopeful vision for the church: one in which every member knows their strengths, has margin, and makes themselves available to the broader church and to God's calling. Here's Terence's take on our analogy—how to make the road safer for future generations: More people are needed on the road. If we use this as a metaphor from the [Better] Samaritan parable, we talk about the context of Jericho, and we gotta wrassle with: what produced the robbers? What is the social context which created the climate? Was it dark on the road? Was more lighting needed on the road? Who made the decision not to put lighting on the road? Why weren't there any officers guarding the road? Where were the people who could have been volunteering on the road? Would more people have provided extra protection for this community? All of these things that your imagination can run with in talking about that... There's safety in community. Because we are a part of the family of God, there's this sense of protection and safety when we show up together. —Terence Lester RESOURCES Terence's book: When We Stand: The Power of Seeking Justice Together, out May 18, 2021 from InterVarsity Press Terence's organization: Love Beyond Walls (@lovebeyondwalls on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter)  "On Being a Good Neighbor", sermon draft by the Rev.

This is the second show in a series in which we explore the concept of capitalism and its effects on serious issues facing us in this time. Homelessness is a problem that has been made worse by the effects of an unregulated form of capitalism. If we stop for a minute and observe our surroundings, we can see that this problem hasn't gotten any better in the last 20 years. Despite policy and public outcry, the solutions we propose are not working. There is a stigma about homelessness and homeless people. This cultural attitude has to change if we have any hope of offering a new vision on how to solve this problem. In this episode we talk about the devastating effects this crisis is having on our communities. The rates of homeless families have gone up, there are more youth experiencing homelessness now than ever before, and our response as a human family must change because the old ways of doing business aren't working. We also cover the cottage industry of anti-homeless architecture in major American cities and what charity organizations are doing to alleviate the suffering and help the most vulnerable. We also say the names of our fallen for this week, Corey Stingley and give an update on the George Flyod case, AND we highlight two activists doing great work in their communities, NOHO Home Alliance and Love Beyond Walls.

My guest for The Happy Hour #344 is Terence Lester. Terence Lester is a minister, speaker, community activist, author, and founder of Love Beyond Walls, a not-for-profit organization focused on poverty awareness and community mobilization. He is also the author of I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People.  Terence is an incredible example of what it looks like to be a doer, and I’m so excited to share this episode with you today. In this show, Terence talks about growing up in Atlanta, running away from home at sixteen years old, and the man who discipled him and changed his life. Terence also talks about the common misconceptions about people experiencing homelessness, and the importance of seeing people by building relationships in our communities. I love so much when he says “Home goes beyond just four walls and a roof. Home is community and belonging.”  Connect with Jamie Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // YouTube GET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Terence and Johnny have a conversation about the difficulties of starting a non-profit organization, some roadblocks and setbacks Terence has faced with Love Beyond Walls, and how to keep going when you feel like quitting.

Do you have a heart for service? Are you ready to make an impact? If you have been looking for an organization to get involved with, then this episode is for you. In today's episode, Mary chats with activist, writer, and speaker - Terence Lester. Terence is regarded as a thought leader in the realm of systemic poverty and is known nationwide for campaigns that bring awareness to issues surrounding homelessness, poverty, and economic inequality. Founder of Love Beyond Walls and Love Sinks In, Terence lives by the motto that “service is a lifestyle, not an event”. Today, Mary digs deep into Terence's book, I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People. Through his writing and service, Terence calls us to see the “invisible” people around us by becoming proximate with them. Rather than choosing not to see the realities around us, Terence shares his personal encounters and real-life stories to challenge Christians to become more informed about poverty and homelessness, and to see the poor as Jesus does. Mary and Terence also discuss his latest campaign, Love Sinks In, which brings portable hand washing stations (20,000 and counting) to the most high traffic homeless areas across our nation, during our global pandemic. The campaign has been featured by Coca Cola and Brawny. It's been on NPR and countless other media outlets. And in today's episode, Terence talks about how he created the movement just by starting, just by seeing the one; he opens up about his heart for people experiencing homelessness and for racial justice; and he discusses the power of becoming proximate with those who are often overlooked. After listening you will understand the importance of seeing people through God's eyes, how to help others restore their dignity and find their place to flourish; and the value of showing empathy towards others, no matter their circumstances. If you are ready to let love open your eyes, and discover how seeing leads to greater action, you will not want to miss beautiful conversation. Check out Terence's journey and his book! https://www.instagram.com/imterencelester/ Also be sure to head over to Love Beyond Walls https://www.instagram.com/lovebeyondwalls/

Today’s guest is a kindred heart. He loves those that many people see as invisible. He spends a lot of time with the homeless and gives us tips to keep our eyes open to others who many just disregard. We talk about the years when someone gave him a chance when he was a young boy and in poverty himself. We talked about when he lived on the streets so he could truly understand those he was going to serve. Get ready for your hearts to be open.  Terence believes EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE SEEN. Terence Lester is  an author, non-profit leader, activist, and founder of LOVE BEYOND WALLS and THE DIGNITY MUSEUM, and just released his latest book, I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People.  His awareness campaigns have been featured on MLK50, USA Today, NBC, and so many others.

What events led to the start of Love Beyond Walls, what is their mission and how are they helping in the fight against Covid19 beyond the streets of Atlanta? Web: www.lovebeyondwalls.org Follow: @lovebeyondwalls About Love Beyond Walls: In 2004, Terence and Cecilia gathered two trash bags filled with clothes and walked through the streets of downtown Atlanta. On Auburn Ave, Terence and Cecilia encountered a homeless woman. “Do you know anyone who needs clothes or shoes?” Cecilia asked. The lady immediately responded, “Of course, I need some right now!” When this warm-hearted lady rummaged through the two bags, she came across a pair of black shoes, and started jumping up and down with excitement. “I just prayed for a pair of shoes last night, and God answered.” Terence and Cecilia looked at each other, and in that moment—the concept of “Love Beyond Walls” was born. On the ride home, they discussed ways to mobilize others to join them in moving past the walls that divide people, and to take love to people in creative ways. That day, they both became compassionate about work in the trenches, and the desire to love people where they were. In 2013, Terence formalized the concept of Love Beyond Walls as more than just an idea by incorporating as a nonprofit and living as homeless person in the heart of the City of Atlanta. With the permission of his family, he lived on the streets to understand the sufferings of those faced with homelessness and poverty. He was put out of shelters, slept under bridges, ate handouts, begged for money, got put out of restaurants, stayed up countless days, and experienced every aspect of homelessness first-hand. He wanted to wear the shoes of the people the organization serves. The organization has focused on raising awareness of the realities and needs of those experiencing lack and vulnerability, and using that vehicle as a way of mobilizing people to take part in those stories. We continually raise awareness and mobilize an army of people who dare to get involved in breaking down barriers and dreaming up new solutions. Since starting, Love Beyond Walls has mobilized thousands of people to serve those that are vulnerable and forgotten. Love Beyond Walls is a 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the federal government.

This week, the boys are joined by Terence Lester. Terence is the founder of Love Beyond Walls, a non-profit organization focused on poverty awareness and community mobilization. He joins Josh and Marty to discuss his latest book, 'I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People'.  We overlook the poor and homeless and hold misconceptions about who is deserving and who is not. Terence calls us to see the invisible people around us. He challenges us with his personal encounters and real-life stories to see the poor as Jesus does. When we see people through God's eyes and hear their stories, we restore their dignity and help them flourish.    I See You Book:  https://www.amazon.com/See-You-Opens-Invisible-People/dp/0830845720/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=i+see+you&qid=1570012734&sr=8-6   Love Beyond Walls Website The Dignity Museum    Follow Terence Lester on Social Media:  @imterencelester @lovebeyondwalls @dignitymuseum

Today’s guest is a kindred heart. He loves those that many people see as invisible. He spends a lot of time with the homeless and gives us tips to keep our eyes open to others who many just disregard. We talk about the years when someone gave him a chance when he was a young boy and in poverty himself. We talked about when he lived on the streets so he could truly understand those he was going to serve. Get ready for your hearts to be open.  Terence believes EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE SEEN.
