  • 🎄 Merry Christmas from Other People's Shoes! 🎄

    This holiday season, we have one last gift for you to unwrap. Continuing what has become a beloved tradition, Garrett joins Neil to reflect on the previous six years of the show in this special season finale of Homecoming—the 18th season of Other People's Shoes. Get ready for laughter, reflection, and a bit of holiday cheer as Garrett quizzes Neil in a way only he can.

    As we wrap up another incredible year, let me ask you:

    Are you still waiting to take flight on something that’s been holding you back?Have you written that letter to that one person yet?Do you feel at home—safe, seen, and loved?

    Here’s the beautiful truth: as long as you’re breathing, there’s still time.

    Time for one more hug.Time for one more “I’m sorry.”Time for one more coffee date.Time to forgive.

    As we close the chapter on 2024, know this: we’re here to serve you with stories that inspire, encourage, and remind you that walking in other people’s shoes truly gives you a new perspective on life.

    Thank you for walking with us this year. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and we’ll see you in 2025 as we step into Season 19: X-Ray to uncover the “sight beyond sight.”

  • What’s the greatest Christmas gift you’ve ever received? For many, it might have been a pony or a horse—a dream for countless children. For our guest Kim Tschirret, founder of Hope Reins in Raleigh, horses were more than a gift; they were a lifeline. Growing up in a home marked by her father’s alcoholism and a lack of unconditional love, Kim found solace and safety in her horse. While her father prioritized performance and horse shows, Kim longed for a deeper bond—a relationship that planted the seeds for Hope Reins. Today, Hope Reins is a ministry that "Inspires True Hope and Real Healing," offering a place where children and families can encounter Jesus, who meets them in their brokenness and brings restoration. For Kim, the journey of founding Hope Reins has brought her personal healing and a profound experience of God’s love. This growing community of grace is making a tangible impact across the Triangle and beyond, providing a space where love, healing, and transformation come to life. Saddle up! Join me as we try on Kim's shoes. 🎄🐴

  • What is your favorite Christmas Movie? One of my favorites has to be "It's A Wonderful Life". In *It's a Wonderful Life*, George Bailey discovers his worth and the profound impact of his life on others. Guided by an angel, he sees a world without his influence, realizing how deeply his choices matter. Similarly, *Homecoming*, the 18th season of *Other People’s Shoes*, explores returning to places of safety and belonging, reminding us of the unseen value of our lives and connections. This idea resonates with John Graham and the Good Samaritan Home, a non-profit that has been offering ex-offenders housing and support since 2001. From one remodeled house to 17 homes in Dayton, Ohio, they’ve helped over 1,000 people rebuild their lives through faith and kindness. Just as George learns that brokenness can lead to redemption, the Good Samaritan Home shows that broken lives, like broken houses, can be restored. Join me as I walk in John Graham’s boots.

  • Who do you need a hug from today? Take a moment and read that sentence again: *Who do you need a hug from today?* Now, think carefully—who was the first person that came to mind? Say their name out loud. Chances are, it’s someone you hold close to your heart, someone who means the world to you. It’s probably not someone you hold resentment or disdain toward, is it? Hugs, after all, symbolize connection, care, and a shared moment of vulnerability. My guest today is Jennifer Sakata, someone who understands the deep power of grace in everyday life. Jennifer invites you and me to step into a place she calls "the corner of real grace for real life." It’s a neighborhood where forgiveness, belonging, empowerment, and faith aren’t just concepts—they’re alive and thriving. Join me as we lace up Jennifer’s shoes and walk alongside her story. Let’s explore how grace can reshape our lives, relationships, and even the way we think about who we need a hug from today.

  • What would your life look like if you could take control of your happiness and choose joy daily? My guest today, Dannie De Novo, has explored this question and shares her journey in her book, *Get in a Good Mood & Stay There.* After battling a deep spiritual depression and facing numerous setbacks, Dannie refused to let life happen to her. Instead, she developed a systematic approach to reclaim her mindset, overcome adversity, and design the fulfilling life she had always envisioned. This book is more than a guide; it’s a personal tour through the exercises and insights that transformed her attitude and opened the door to lasting happiness. If happiness feels like a moving target, perhaps it’s time to step into these shoes—are you ready? Join me as I walk in Dannie's shoes.

  • Have you ever allowed yourself to dream? Picture this: a genie appears, offering you three wishes. But there are conditions—no asking for love, no bringing back the dead, and no wishing for more wishes. It makes you wonder. What three things would you choose if you had three chances to get something special into your life? Now and then, life gives us moments that feel like a wish fulfilled—an experience so surreal, it’s like magic. For me, that moment came on November 11, 2023, at the North Carolina vs. Duke football game. The night was alive with 50,500 fans packed into Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. The stands were a sea of Carolina blue, buzzing with excitement as the Tar Heels and Blue Devils went head-to-head in one of the fiercest rivalries in college sports. The game had all the intensity of a dream: heart-stopping plays, tense moments, and nail-biting suspense. And just when it seemed like the Tar Heels' hopes might fade, Noah Burnette, today’s guest, stepped up as time expired, lining up for a 42-yard field goal. The ball sailed just inside the right upright, tying the game at 36 and sending it into overtime. The stadium exploded. As the clock ticked down and North Carolina clinched the win, 47-45, it felt like I was living a storybook ending—one I’ll never forget. The whole weekend was more than a game; it was a trip of a lifetime, an experience that will always be one of my "three wishes come true." Today, I get to relive it all through Noah’s eyes. So join me as I walk in Noah's shoes, sharing this unforgettable moment that left an indelible mark on my heart.

  • When was the last time you remodeled a room? My guest today is Dr. Merry C. Linn PhD. Imagine you're remodeling a room in your house—a space where old paint, cluttered shelves, and outdated furniture no longer feel like "you." The process begins by stripping away layers, revealing what lies beneath them. Similarly, in life, finding our true selves isn't just about adding layers; it's about "unbecoming" what we believed we had to be to feel accepted and loved, and "rebecoming" who we truly are, as Dr. Merry C. Lin explores in her transformative book. Just as a room remodel requires intentional effort to create a space that reflects our true taste and purpose, rebecoming our essential, God-given selves requires peeling back the fear-driven habits and self-protection mechanisms that keep us from authentic joy and resilience. Understanding our motivations, identifying patterns rooted in fear, and building resilience parallels the careful choice of new paint, furniture, and décor that fit the life we want to live. It’s a journey to re-create our inner spaces, find the courage to pursue dreams with integrity, and ultimately fulfill God’s purpose for our lives. Join me as I try on Dr. Merry's shoes.

  • What does this election season mean to you? On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Americans across the nation will head to the polls amidst a backdrop that feels as fractured as ever. Tensions run high as pressing issues reveal deep divisions, shaping an election season that underscores a United States that feels, in many ways, like a house divided. Questions about our collective values, the nation's future, and the fundamental direction we're heading are high, and every vote is vital. My guest, Josh Lewis, joins me in unpacking the importance of voting this season and why making your voice heard matters more than ever. But perhaps the question on everyone’s mind is, who is Josh voting for? Join me as I walk in Josh's shoes.

  • When was the last time you were humbled? This week on the podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Rick Romano, whose heart for serving others has taken him and his family to the Dominican Republic, where they are building sustainable communities in the northern region of El Cibao. Rick’s mission, rooted in the teachings of Christ and inspired by Matthew 25:35-36, calls on us to love those in need. He’s dedicated himself to this by providing struggling communities with clean water, food, healthcare, and job training. But his work goes beyond just meeting immediate needs—planting churches and empowering individuals through these practical solutions. Rick believes that building a home for someone less fortunate isn’t an impossible task; it’s an act of love that can transform lives, embodying the call to live beyond ourselves. Join me as I try on Rick's shoes.

  • When was the last time you opened a box? What was inside? Marriage is like unpacking boxes in life—each box represents a different aspect of the journey, filled with experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth. My guest today is Tammy Cox. Tammy is here to share with us why marriage can be difficult. However, it doesn't have to be. Just as we carefully unpack a box, revealing its contents piece by piece, in a healthy marriage, we uncover layers of ourselves, our emotions, and our needs. Some boxes hold joyous memories or shared accomplishments, while others contain challenges that must be handled with care. A strong marriage involves the willingness to open these boxes together, communicate openly about their contents, and support each other in sorting through them, whether they are filled with joy or hardship. Just like unpacking, it requires patience, teamwork, and commitment to keep things organized and moving forward. In doing so, couples build a deeper understanding and bond, creating a home where love and trust grow stronger with each box they unpack. Join me as I try on Tammy's shoes.

  • When was the last time you had to check the "other" box during a survey? Social Identity Theory, developed by Henri Tajfel in the 1970s, explains how people define themselves through group memberships like nationality or religion. This often leads to favoritism toward one’s in-group and distancing from out-groups, fostering stereotypes and discrimination. When we "Other" people—seeing them as outsiders—we lose compassion and focus on differences instead of shared humanity, reinforcing division. This issue is both psychological and spiritual. God's people are called to bless and care for the marginalized, yet misuse of power often causes harm. My guest today is Jenai Auman. Jenai, work offers hope to those who feel "Othered" by the church, reminding them that God sees and loves the outcast, even when the church fails to. Join me as I walk in Jenai's shoes.

  • Did you ever do this? I remember when my daughter, Adia, was younger, my wife and I would stand her up against a wall at GGma’s house—my wife’s grandmother—and measure her height. As we sold the house, I wondered what the new owners would think of those marks. My guest today is Mark Collins, and he reflects on how those marks, much like childhood height measurements, serve as symbols of growth. For many men, masculinity can feel like an elusive mark, always shifting just beyond reach, as though no matter how hard we try to stand tall, we’re told we don’t measure up. Society often defines what it means to be a man, but like the faded lines on the wall, our value isn’t found in those measurements. Real growth happens in the unseen spaces, where true strength isn’t about height, but depth of character.

With the help of some amazing men who stepped in at crucial moments, the rescue was nothing short of heroic. Through it all, Lauren watched her mother’s faith in action, learning powerful lessons about trusting in God’s timing, perseverance, and the strength that comes from leaning on faith in the hardest of times.

  • EPISODE 300...The journey of a singer-songwriter is often filled with challenges that go beyond the glamorous image portrayed by reality TV shows like *The Voice*, *American Idol*, and *America's Got Talent*. While these platforms promise fame and fortune, the reality is that they often don't deliver lasting success. True artistry and recognition take years of dedication, perseverance, and frequently, the road less traveled. My guest today, Wilkes, has navigated this complex world, finding his voice through mainstream avenues Wilkes was when in the Christian band "Disciple." Join me as I walk in his shoes and explore the highs and lows of his musical journey.

  • What does it mean to find yourself truly? For many, it's about coming home to who you are and finding peace in your own skin. This journey of self-discovery is invaluable, allowing you to live authentically and confidently, free from external pressures. A trusted confidant can be a key part of this process, whether it’s a loyal dog, a cherished stuffed animal, or even a journal. These companions provide comfort and a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions. Today’s guest, Barbara Thompson, knows this journey well. As the founder of Self-Care Studios in Australia, she brings a unique perspective on coming home to oneself. With four years of experience in guiding others through this process, Barbara offers fresh insights into the deeply personal yet universally transformative path of self-acceptance.

  • PLEASE TAKE DISCRETION IN LISTENING TODAY, IF RAPE AND MURDER ARE IN YOUR BACKGROUND. What would happen if you were wrongly accused of something? Has that ever happened? My guest today is Jeff Deskovic was wrongfully imprisoned for 16 years, from the age of 17 to 32, for a rape and murder he did not commit. The injustice of losing his youth to a crime he never committed had a profound impact on his life. His wrongful conviction not only stripped him of his freedom during the critical years of his young adulthood but also left deep emotional scars. The time he spent behind bars shaped his worldview, altering the course of his life in ways that can never be fully repaired. Upon his release, Jeff faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding a life that had been unjustly stolen from him, grappling with the lingering effects of trauma, lost opportunities, and the struggle to find his place in a world that had moved on without him.

  • SEASON FINALE OF DEAR...

    When was the last time you attended a funeral or a celebration of life service? Over the years, I've found myself in those seats many times. I wish I could say it gets easier each time, but unfortunately, it doesn’t. During these moments, I often reflect on what I could have or should have said. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

    At one of these services, the pastor shared words of encouragement that stayed with me, and I hope they resonate with you too: love the ones you're with, hug the ones you can, miss the ones you should, but sometimes, we ultimately have to let them go—not from our hearts, but from our grasp.

    As we wrap up this season of Other People's Shoes, we look forward to sharing more stories with you in the fall.

    👟

    Miss Me, But Let Me Go

    When I come to the end of the road

    And the sun has set for me,

    I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,

    Why cry for a soul set free?

    Miss me a little—but not for long

    And not with your head bowed low.

    Remember the love that we once shared,

    Miss me, but let me go.

    For this journey that we all must take

    And each must go alone;

    It’s all a part of the Master’s plan

    A step on the road to home.

    When you are lonely and sick at heart

    Go to the friends we know,

    And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

    Miss me, but let me go.

    👟

    Looking forward to next week as we start season 18 called "Homecoming"

  • Think about marriage for a moment. Who is a could that you know that has been married the longest. Three days ago my wife Elizabeth and I just celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. My guest today is Kyle Jetsel. Kyle shares losing his wife of 30 years felt like the world stopped spinning for Kyle—a void that seemed impossible to fill. The silence in the house was deafening, the weight of her absence almost unbearable. Yet, in the depths of that pain, Kyle knew he had to find a way forward—not just for himself, but for their children and the legacy they had built together. He chose to find strength in the love they shared, letting that love fuel his days instead of his grief. Kyle began to focus on living a life that honored her memory, finding reasons to smile again, to breathe deeply, and to inspire others to cherish every moment with their loved ones. Through this journey, he realized that the best way to honor her was to live fully, love well, and leave a legacy that their children could carry forward—a legacy of resilience, kindness, and an unshakable belief in the power of love. Join me as I walk in Kyle's pearl white Lebron James signature shoes.

  • What is something that you absolutely, can't stand? I tried once making a list. If you were to make a list where would grief fall in the rankings? My guest today is Chelsea Ohlemiller. She wrote this brand new book called "Now That She's Gone". Chelsea is here to share her story about grief. Grief is profoundly challenging to cope with because it encompasses a wide range of intense emotions, from deep sorrow and anger to confusion and guilt. This emotional turbulence often arises from the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or an unfulfilled dream, leading to a sense of emptiness and helplessness. The process of grieving disrupts our daily lives, impacting our mental and physical health. To navigate through grief, it is essential to allow oneself to feel and express these emotions rather than suppressing them. Seeking support from friends, family, or professional counselors can provide comfort and understanding. Additionally, engaging in self-care practices, such as maintaining a routine, exercising, and finding creative outlets, can help in gradually rebuilding one's life and finding a new sense of normalcy. Recognizing that grief is a personal journey and giving oneself the grace and time to heal is crucial. Join me as we walk in Chelsea's shoes.
