Plus, newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco quizzes Kevin and host Megan Harris on their Mister Rogers knowledge in honor of Fred's birthday week.

Melanie is the Director of RiverLife, a local non-profit based out of Newnan, GA that does wonderful work and is one of our closest partners.

In our conversation, Melanie shares some of the original vision for RiverLife and her heart for helping provide a place of refuge and healing for helpers who are exhausted and in need of a place to recharge.

Zephaniah is a confronting look at the reality of God's response to human disobedience. His covenant commitment to discipline and restoration are shocking when we come to Zephaniah's prophetic oracle. But a closer look behind the scenes as God's heart for the world in preserving a faithful remnant from all the nations depicts the true character of God in the tumultuous times of the Jewish exile.

Bill and Melanie Reeves knew God had a purpose and a plan for their lives as he led them in a thriving church ministry in Newnan, Ga.  They were obediently in service to our Lord, but they began to feel a tug in their hearts to make a change. So, with no idea what that change should look like, Bill took odd jobs as a handyman while they waited on God to reveal His plan.  It took almost 10 years for RiverLife, a ministry dedicated to helping the needy with small home repair projects, to be birthed into existence. Through RiverLife, Bill and Melanie are able to put together teams of volunteers to do local mission projects. The projects can range from something as simple as cleaning out gutters and doing yard work for the elderly, to constructing wheelchair ramps for disabled individuals. Bill shared with me that while the service project is a great blessing for the recipient, seeing God's people working together to show His love to others is the biggest blessing of all. We live in a fast-paced, instant pot culture that tells us we have to always be busy. Sometimes as church people we are no better. We think if we're not hard at work, then we aren't good stewards of what God has provided, right?  Catch my podcast interview with Bill and Melanie Reeves here.

Hit the Bullseye: Knowing your target audiences and what they want—is essential to marketing success. Yet companies often miss the mark and don't clearly and truthfully define their target markets. One company that took the Hit the Bullseye approach to a whole new level is Kolcraft, a international baby product manufacturer based in Chicago.Kolcraft wanted the target audience for buying their product—parents—to experience what the actual customers who use their product—children—experience. So they built an super-sized baby stroller twice the size of the one for babies: 7 feet 6 inches high, 6 feet deep and 4 feet wide. Guest: Stephan Bontrager is Director of Communications for Riverlife a public-private partnership working to build downtown Pittsburgh's urban riverfront park system.

With over 80% of the park complete and many more projects underway, Three Rivers Park is shaping up to be unlike any urban waterfront in the world. What's The Big Idea? Stephan's Big Idea relates to Riverlife's substantial public and private fundraising efforts, specifically tied to the restoration of the Point State Park fountain.

Hit the Bullseye: Messaging Pros--Leverage the Thank You!Why do people who work in Communications, PR or Marketing struggle with praise? Why do Messaging Pros fumble the thank you?When you've ‘saved the day' for clients or co-workers and they say: “Thank you so much for coming through.  You went above and beyond the call of duty.”How do you usually respond?  “Aw, it was nothing. No problem.  Love to help.  That's what we're here for.”You have just fumbled one of the greatest opportunities for future influence. Leverage Thank You based on Robert Cialdini's research about messaging, influence and Reciprocity. Guest: Stephan Bontrager is Director of Communications for Riverlife a public-private partnership working to build downtown Pittsburgh's urban riverfront park system.Stephan's Background:Attended Goshen College Stephan also participated in Pulse—Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience, a non profit cultivating a community of young servant leaders to transform Pittsburgh.Prior to Riverlife, Stephan was Director of Education and Community Engagement for public radio station 91.3 fm WYEP. He was on-air Midday Mix host and also directed the station's community engagement programs.His Mentors: Chris Cooke, Executive Director of Pulse taught Stephan to lead with a positive attitude and the importance of messaging.
