On tap this week is Monica Shaeffer, a private piano and voice instructor, occasional music director for shows at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette, and now Music and Artistic Outreach Director at Trinity United Methodist Church. We spoke about her background as a performer, youth instructor/music director, and now artistic consultant for Trinity United Methodist Church. Discussions of her “meet/cute” with her husband, the nature of creative activity and performance, Lafayette history, preservation, and the possibility of the return of the “Tour of Terror” ensue. The church is making a concerted effort to involve itself culturally in the community, and it has a project currently in place called “Living Water.”

With us today is Michael Brown. For over 30 years at the YMCA, Mike has served 7 communities throughout the nation. His passion for community advocacy led him to receive both a Master of Science in Human Services and a second in Leadership and Operational Management, while he now turns his academic focus to a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership and Business Admin. Outside of the YMCA, Mike also served as a youth pastor for 10 years at Trinity United Methodist Church. With experience at many Y locations as President and CEO, he is now at the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth, where his larger than life, eccentric approach to work in helping communities and individuals is built from his dim past of being an abused child that attempted suicide. His story is what feeds and fulfills his life's goals for a brighter tomorrow for all.  Some of what you'll discover: How we show up, the importance of failure, and investing in relationships with a focus on people. How to form a Strategic Vision, with a Culture to support it. Building Culture with fluid transparency. Take care of the Ship first.

This week I speak with Charlene Brisbane. She is currently a member of Dare to Imagine Church under the pastorship of Rev. Kevin Johnson. At Dare to Imagine, she is involved in community service and serves as an iGroup (small group) leader. In 2022, Charlene became vice president of the non-profit organization Clothed N Strength, whose mission is to help women overcome barriers to success who have recently returned to society after being incarcerated or who have suffered trauma. She is also the creator of a podcast with her daughter Shelby called Garage Conversations with Char, via which she hopes to engage, inform and inspire listeners. Charlene has a career in the biopharmaceutical industry that spans over 34 years which includes positions of increasing responsibility at Johnson and Johnson, GSK, and Teva Pharmaceuticals, where she currently is a Senior Director in Project Leadership and Strategy in R&D. Charlene believes that her foundation was laid spiritually, as well as, professionally at Trinity United Methodist Church where she accepted Christ in her life at an early age and was baptized. At Trinity, she was Chairperson of the Administrative Council, a Certified Lay Speaker, and a Sunday school teacher, as well as a member of United Methodist Women and The Inspirational Choir. Trinity was the place where she was given encouragement, responsibility, and the challenge always to strive to do her best. One of Charlene's favorite scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” She places her hope in God and acknowledges that all that she is is because of Him. We look at the life God has given Charlene, and even in the midst of the great loss of her husband, we see God working and providing for Char as a widow - The beautiful thread of God working is undeniable - You won't want to miss this episode you will be greatly encouraged!Dare to Imagine Church: https://d2ic.org/Garage Conversations with Char: https://garageconversationwithchar.com/Clothed N Strength: https://clothednstrength.org/Books referenced: Christians Get Depressed Too by David MurrayBroken Minds: Hope for Healing When You Feel Like You're "Losing It" by Steve & Robyn Bloem*Theme Music “Blessed time” by Ketsa
