🚪 FINAL THOUGHT

Some doors don’t need to be forced open.
They just need to be answered.

Fix It

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dr. Bruce Chalmer, Couples Therapy in Seven Words) — Wed, 8 Apr 2026 11:57:53 +0000

🎙 FIX IT

🚪

Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a person… or a truth we didn’t see coming.
This season is about answering the door especially when what’s on the other side feels uncomfortable, uncertain… or completely unfixable.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION:

What do you do when something breaks… and you can’t just fix it?

Not with a quick apology.
Not with time alone.
Not with pretending it didn’t happen.

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Bruce Chalmer a psychologist who’s spent over 30 years helping couples navigate conflict, betrayal, and the moments when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

Early in his career, someone asked him how he does couples therapy. His answer?

“Be kind. Don’t panic.”
And later… he added a third piece:
“Have faith.”

Seven words that sound simple… until life puts them to the test.

Because when betrayal enters the room when trust is broken, when someone crosses a line you can’t unsee the instinct is to fix it. Fast.

But what if fixing it isn’t the first step?
What if the real work is understanding what actually happened… and what it means now?

In his book Betrayal and Forgiveness: How to Navigate the Turmoil and Learn to Trust Again, Dr. Chalmer walks through the emotional aftermath of betrayal and what it takes to move forward with clarity instead of panic.

And through his podcast Couples Therapy in Seven Words, he brings those same ideas into real, honest conversations about intimacy, conflict, and connection grounded in both experience and everyday life.

Can trust be rebuilt?
Should it be?
And is forgiveness something you choose… or something you grow into?

Sometimes the knock at the door isn’t asking to be fixed.
Sometimes it’s asking to be faced.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

🧠 The three steps to forgiveness and how they play out in real relationships

🧩 The deeper meaning behind “Be kind, don’t panic, have faith”

💔 A real look at whether you can truly forgive deep betrayal

⚖️ When forgiveness is right… and when it might not be

🔍 How to learn to trust yourself again after being hurt

🔄 What moving forward actually looks like together or apart

SECRET

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Xanet Pailet, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 13:48:34 +0000

🎙 SECRET

⚠️ LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED
This episode contains mature themes and honest conversations around sex and intimacy. Recommended for adult listeners.

🧩 WHO’S THERE? 🚪

Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a person… or even a conversation we weren’t ready to have.

Some doors we open with curiosity.
Others… we avoid altogether.

This episode?
It’s one of those doors.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

I was 11 years old when the song Let's Talk About Sex came out by Color Me Badd.

And if you grew up in the late 80s or early 90s, you probably remember what “the talk” looked like back then… awkward health class lessons, uncomfortable silence, and a whole lot left unsaid.

We learned just enough to be confused…
but not enough to truly understand connection, intimacy, or even ourselves.

Fast forward to today, and we’re still carrying some of those same questions… just in adult bodies.

That’s where my guest, Xanet Pailet, comes in.

Xanet is a nationally recognized sexuality educator, coach, and bestselling author of Living an Orgasmic Life.

Her story is powerful. She spent over two decades in a sexless marriage… before experiencing a complete personal awakening that changed everything.

Today, she helps people reconnect with their bodies, their desires, and something many of us have forgotten… that pleasure isn’t something to earn.

It’s something we’re born with.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

What it’s really like to live in a sexless marriage for 26 years

How early beliefs about sex shape our adult relationships

The difference between physical intimacy and emotional connection

Disconnection and addiction

Learning to feel again

What do I really believe about sex?

🔥 EPISODE SUMMARY

This week on Other People’s Shoes, we walk into a conversation many of us were never taught how to have.

From awkward middle school memories to deeply personal adult experiences, this episode explores what happens when we finally face the topic of sex, intimacy, and connection head on.

With honesty, vulnerability, and zero fluff, Xanet Pailet shares her journey from disconnection to awakening… and challenges us to rethink everything we thought we knew about pleasure, relationships, and ourselves.

Because sometimes…
the door we avoid the most…

is the one that leads to healing.

Stutter

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Byron Athene, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 STUTTER

🚪

🧩 WHO’S THERE? 🚪
Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a voice we either trust or try to hide.
This season is about answering the door… even when what’s on the other side scares you.

🚪

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION:
What if the voice you’ve been trying to hide… is the very thing meant to be heard?

For Byron Athene, a stutter wasn’t just something he dealt with it became part of how he saw himself. It shaped his confidence, his choices, and the path he believed was available to him.

So even though he was drawn to philosophy and psychology, he convinced himself that becoming a therapist wasn’t realistic. His voice, in his mind, disqualified him.

So he stayed safe.

For over two decades, Byron worked in office roles, keeping that deeper calling at a distance. But the knock never stopped.

Over time, something began to shift.

What if the limitation wasn’t his speech… but the belief attached to it?
What if the story he told himself… wasn’t true?

That question changed everything.

Today, Byron is a counselling psychotherapist, certified mindset coach, clinical supervisor, and author helping others move past limiting beliefs and step into a greater sense of freedom, purpose, and fulfillment.

🚪

This conversation isn’t just about a stutter…
It’s about finding your voice.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

🗣 Living with a stutter and how it shapes identity

😶 Avoiding conversations—and opportunities—because of fear

🛑 Why Byron didn’t pursue therapy earlier in life

🧠 Fixed mindset vs. growth mindset in real life

🔄 How one belief can redirect your entire life

✨ “We are perfect… unless we focus on our imperfections”

🎤 Letting go of what others think and reclaiming your voice

🔥 “You can hate them… but that won’t affect my enjoyment of them”

🌱 Helping others access freedom, fulfillment, and inner growth

💭 FINAL THOUGHT:

We spend so much of our lives focusing on what’s “wrong” with us…
the hesitation, the flaw, the thing we wish we could fix.

But what if that’s not the thing holding us back?

What if it’s the meaning we’ve attached to it?

So here’s the question…

Are you letting your voice be heard…
or are you still believing the story that it’s not enough?

Goodbye

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Kelly Weaver, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 GOODBYE

🧩 WHO’S THERE? 🚪

Every knock carries a moment… a decision… a person… or a goodbye we didn’t see coming.
This season is about answering the door before it’s too late.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION:

What is so good about goodbye?

The word itself didn’t start the way we use it today. Back in the late 1500s, “goodbye” was actually a blessing short for “God be with you.” Over time, it softened, shifted, and lost its original weight… but maybe it wasn’t supposed to.

Because when you really think about it… Goodbye isn’t just a word.
It’s a moment.

This week, I’m joined by Kelly Weaver, and her story brings that truth front and center. She has stood at the edge of life—on death’s doorstep and come back. After walking through ovarian cancer, widowhood, raising a daughter with autism as a single parent, and a life-altering illness, Kelly understands something most of us try to avoid:

We don’t always get to choose when the last goodbye happens.

Now, as an identity life coach, she helps high-achieving women over 50 rediscover who they are after retirement and major life transitions. But what she really offers is deeper than that clarity, perspective, and a reminder that life doesn’t end… it evolves.

This conversation isn’t just about endings…
It’s about being ready for them.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

The true origin and deeper meaning behind the word “goodbye.”

Why do we often take our final moments with people for granted

What it means to experience restoration, peace, and clarity

Kelly’s powerful story of survival, loss, and reinvention

The uncomfortable but necessary question: Are you ready to say goodbye?

Why saving money and preparing for retirement is more emotional than financial

💭 FINAL THOUGHT:

Inspired by The Breath You Take by George Strait…

Life isn’t just about breathing in and out.
It’s about the moments that take your breath away.

If today were the moment, would your goodbye say everything it needs to? 🚪

SMS

🎙 SMS

🚪

Who’s There? 🚪

This season explores the moments when life knocks on our door. Sometimes the knock is quiet. Sometimes it’s loud enough to shake everything we thought we knew. “Who’s There?” is about those moments that stop us in our tracks and force us to answer the door to truth, change, and responsibility.

👣 Guest Introduction: Dave Booth

How many of us have sent a text while driving?
Or remember the days before Bluetooth when we held our phones up to our ear while cruising down the road?

If I’m being honest… I struggle with a phone addiction. It’s easy to joke about. Easy to brush off. But the question that sits heavy on my mind is this:

Could one text message cost someone their life?

That message you just have to send.
That song you feel like you have to hear right now.
That quick glance down at the screen.

Today’s guest, Dave Booth, knows exactly how dangerous that moment can be.

Dave was sitting in backed-up traffic when everything changed. A teenage driver, distracted behind the wheel, slammed into him at roughly 75 miles per hour while Dave was traveling about 35 mph.

In a split second, life became a before-and-after story.

This conversation isn’t just about texting and driving. It’s about responsibility, forgiveness, healing, and the question many people struggle with after tragedy:

Can you forgive the person who almost took your life?

💡 Episode Highlights

📱 SMS: Short Message Service the everyday texting habit many of us don’t think twice about

🚗 The crash that changed Dave’s life in an instant

⚖️ Understanding the real dangers of distracted driving

🧠 What happens when our phone habits become an addiction

🎖️ How something as simple as a duty belt can help hold life together

🤝 Wrestling with forgiveness after someone nearly takes your life

🗣️ Turning personal trauma into education that can save others

🐱 And yes… how the song “Soft Kitty” can actually play a role in healing

⚖️ Oregon’s Hands-Free Driving Law (ORS 811.507)

Oregon law strictly prohibits holding or using a mobile electronic device while driving — even while stopped in traffic or at a red light.

Key points of the law:

📵 Holding a phone, texting, browsing, or watching videos while driving is illegal

🎧 Drivers 18+ may only use hands-free accessories (Bluetooth, headset, mounted devices) with voice commands or a single touch/swipe

🚫 Drivers under 18 cannot use phones at all while driving — even hands-free

🚑 Exceptions only apply when contacting emergency services or when safely parked on the roadside

Penalties

First offense: up to $1,000 fine

Second offense: up to $2,500 fine

Third offense: may become a criminal misdemeanor with possible jail time

📊 The Reality of Distracted Driving

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

⚠️ 3,275 people died in distracted driving crashes in 2023

🚑 324,000+ injuries occurred from distracted driving crashes

📅 On average, 9 people die every single day due to distracted driving

📱 At any given moment, 326,000 drivers are using handheld devices

🚗 Reading a text takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds the equivalent of driving a football field blindfolded at highway speed

📉 Texting while driving increases crash risk 23 times

🔍 Takeaway Questions

This episode asks some hard but important questions:

Is sending a text message worth someone’s life?

What responsibility do we carry every time we get behind the wheel?

Can you forgive someone whose mistake nearly killed you?

How can personal stories help educate others before tragedy strikes?

Rise UP

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Tiﬀaney Childers, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 4 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎙 RISE UP

🧩

WHO’S THERE?

This season of Other People’s Shoes asks a powerful question:

🚪 “Who’s knocking at your life’s door?”

Sometimes it’s opportunity. Sometimes it’s pain. Sometimes it’s a moment we never asked for but can’t avoid.

The people and experiences that knock on our door often change the course of our lives. This season explores those moments the ones that challenge us, shape us, and ultimately invite us to step into deeper empathy for others.

Because sometimes the knock we hear… is the beginning of a completely new chapter.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

This week I’m joined by Tiffaney Childers author, speaker, and suicide loss survivor whose story carries both unimaginable grief and remarkable hope.

Tiffaney is the forthcoming author of The Rise Back: Reclaiming Life after Suicide Loss, Pain and Silence, a memoir and guide for anyone navigating devastating loss. After losing both of her parents to suicide, enduring chronic pain from a failed surgery, and walking through years of silence and emotional survival, Tiffaney reached a moment where she stopped running from the pain and stepped straight into it.

Instead of allowing grief to define her future, she began the slow, gritty climb toward healing and purpose.

Today she serves as a LOSS Team advocate, walking alongside people in the earliest moments after suicide loss and reminding them that even in the rubble of heartbreak, something new can rise.

Her message is simple but powerful:

You don’t bounce back from devastation like this.
You rise from what’s left and rebuild piece by piece.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• Why suicide loss survivors are seven times more likely to struggle with suicidal thoughts themselves
• The silence that often surrounds suicide and why that silence can be dangerous
• What it actually means to sit with someone in raw grief
• Tiffaney’s personal story of loss, chronic pain, and emotional survival
• The moment she stopped numbing the pain and began facing it directly
• Why healing often looks less like “moving on” and more like rebuilding your life
• The powerful belief that carried her forward: Everything in life is figure-out-able

🔥 THE RISE UP FRAMEWORK

Tiffaney shares a practical guide for navigating grief, healing, and growth.

R — Reach Out
Connection matters. Healing rarely happens alone.

I — Ink It Out
Write down your thoughts and feelings. Journaling creates space for clarity.

S — Sit With It
Pain, grief, heartache. Avoiding it only delays healing.

E — Embrace Who You’re Becoming
Growth often happens in the middle of the hardest seasons.

U — Unlearn the Lies
You’re not broken. You’re brave.

P — Protect Your Peace
Guard your mental and emotional space so healing can happen.

Porch Light

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dr. Kelly Meyer, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎙 PORCH LIGHT

🚪

🧩 WHO’S THERE?

This season leans into the moments when life comes knocking. The unexpected interruptions. The quiet invitations. The doors we hesitate to open. Sometimes the question isn’t just who’s there… it’s whether we’re willing to leave the light on.

🚪

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION:

Do you keep your porch light on?

For years, that simple phrase from Motel 6 “We’ll leave the light on for you” has carried a quiet kind of comfort. An open invitation. A signal that someone is welcome, even before they arrive.

In this thoughtful conversation, Neil sits down with Dr. Kelly Meyer, an international transformational coach, speaker, and author with nearly three decades of experience helping people grow into who they’re meant to be.

Alongside his wife April, Kelly co-created Project Find Your Fire, a movement rooted in helping people discover their passion, live with purpose, and ignite meaningful change through growth, relationships, and wellness.

Together, they explore what it really means to leave the light on… not just on a porch, but in our lives.

🚪

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

Who are you… really?

The deeper meaning behind the porch light metaphor

Why the sooner you discover your purpose, the better off you’ll be

The heart and mission of Project Find Your Fire

Is helping a stranger still part of who we are?

Unboxing

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews, Monica McKitterick) — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 14:34:05 +0000

🎙 EPISODE TITLE: UNBOXING…

🧩 SEASON THEME: WHO’S THERE?

This season explores the moments when life comes knocking, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, and asks what we’re willing to open… and what we’d rather keep sealed. Who’s There? is about answering the door to truth, growth, and the unexpected.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

What happens when success looks perfect on the outside… but the real work is happening beneath the surface?

This week, we step into the story of Monica McKitterick, family nurse practitioner turned CEO, author, and bold entrepreneur. Monica didn’t just climb the healthcare ladder… she rebuilt it. From the ground up, she created Impact Family Wellness, a multi-million-dollar Direct Primary Care clinic in Texas, proving that grit and vision can rewrite the rules.

After winning a nationally televised business competition and appearing on The Blox Season 18, Monica doubled down on her mission, launching The DPC Formula to help other providers build thriving, independent clinics.

But this conversation goes deeper than business wins.

We start with the simple act of unboxing everyday items… and quickly discover the harder things we all carry: unworthiness, self-doubt, loneliness, heartbreak, and the quiet battle for joy. Monica brings honesty, clarity, and just enough Duke-grad confidence to keep things interesting inside the Shoe Shack.

Her story is about redefining success on your own terms… and learning which voices are actually worth listening to.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

Why chasing recognition can lead you off course

Hard conversations around loneliness, pain, and heartbreak

How Monica is helping reshape Direct Primary Care

A mindset shift every high achiever needs to hear

Why being a Duke grad still gets mentioned in the Shoe Shack 😄

Hello...

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Shane McKenna, Loqui Listening, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎙Hello…🎙

🧩 Season Theme: Who’s There? 🚪
This season is all about the knock.
The moment you reach out.
The question we all ask at some point: Is anyone really there on the other side?

👣 Guest Introduction:
This week, I’m joined by Shane McKenna, the creator of LOQUI LISTENING a peer-to-peer listening app built around something that feels surprisingly rare these days: someone who will simply listen.

The episode title Hello… was inspired (slightly embarrassing confession included) by the song Hello by Adele. There’s a line in that song that’s always stuck with me:
“When I call, you never seem to be home.”

That lyric feels like the heartbeat of this season. So many of us have called. Knocked. Reached out. And felt like no one answered.
So the question becomes what do we do in those moments? And just as important… who’s there when we need someone right now?

Shane believes no one should have to face those moments alone.

💡 Episode Highlights:

Have we lost the art of actually listening and really talking?

Why LOQUI LISTENING focuses on presence, not advice or fixing

How peer-to-peer listening can meet people exactly where they are

Why availability matters: someone there 24/7, no matter the emotion

The surprising power of trust (and yes… even panda Dunk shoes 🐼👟)

🧠 What Is LOQUI LISTENING?
LOQUI LISTENING connects people with real humans who are willing to listen no therapy labels, no counseling language, no pressure to “solve” anything.

It’s about interaction, empathy, and being present in the moment whether you’re overwhelmed, joyful, anxious, or just need to say something out loud.

Pricing discussed in the episode:

$11 for 30 minutes

$19 for 60 minutes
(Note: one minute is deducted for each voice note or text message sent)

Even the name LOQUI comes from Latin loqui, meaning to talk or to speak.
In a world that’s constantly talking, Shane is asking a better question: Who’s actually listening?

G_O_D

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Stephanie Rivard, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 4 Feb 2026 13:36:42 +0000

🎙 SEASON 22: WHO’S THERE — EPISODE: G.O.D.

Gift of Desperation

🚪 SEASON THEME: WHO’S THERE

This season keeps asking one question:

Who’s there when life knocks, and how do we respond?

Sometimes the knock comes as an opportunity.
Sometimes as a disruption.
Sometimes, as a quiet voice we’d rather ignore.

This episode explores what happens when the knock doesn’t come from the outside but from God Himself.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

My guest this week is Stephanie Rivard.

Stephanie spent 11 years serving as the Executive Director of a nonprofit. By every logical measure, she was exactly where she was supposed to be: stable, effective, and impactful.

And then, last year, defying logic and comfort, she heard something unexpected.

Through prayer, Stephanie sensed God telling her to leave.

No roadmap.
No backup plan.
No safety net.

Just obedience.

🙏 LEARNING TO LISTEN

This episode centers on prayer not as a formula, but as a relationship.

Stephanie shares how, over time, she has developed a deeper sensitivity to what she believes is God’s voice guiding and directing her steps. She’s honest and grounded about it.

She doesn’t claim perfection.
She doesn’t hear clearly every single time.

But she does say this: the more she listens, the more familiar that voice becomes.

And when the call came to walk away from a role she loved, she listened.

🔄 WHEN THE GUEST TURNS THE MIC

Stephanie does something rare in this conversation, something most guests haven’t yet done.

She asks me a question.

Not a casual one.
Not an easy one.

A question that stops me cold and forces real reflection in the moment.

It’s a reminder that when conversations are rooted in faith and honesty, they don’t always move in one direction. Sometimes the knock comes mid-conversation, and you have to decide how you’ll answer.

🧭 FAITH WITHOUT A PLAN

Stephanie’s story invites us to sit with an uncomfortable truth:

Sometimes following God means moving without clarity.
Without confirmation.
Without control.

This isn’t a story about recklessness; it’s about dependence.

Letting go of certainty.
Trusting provision.
Moving forward, when the next step hasn’t been revealed yet.

🎁 WHY “G.O.D.” THE GIFT OF DESPERATION

We call this episode G.O.D., short for Gift of Desperation.

Because desperation has a way of stripping away self-reliance and exposing what we truly trust.

This episode challenges listeners to ask themselves:

Do I have the gift of desperation?

Am I desperate enough for God to hear and to respond?

What would it take to become fully dependent on Him?

Not out of fear.
But out of trust.

💡 QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE INVITES

This conversation doesn’t rush answers. It invites posture:

How do you know when God is speaking?

What happens when obedience costs you comfort?

Are you listening or waiting for certainty first?

What if dependence is actually the point?

🪞 A REFLECTION FOR THE LISTENER

Stephanie’s story isn’t meant to be copied; it’s meant to be considered.

You may not be called to leave your job.
But you may be called to listen differently.
To pray more honestly.
To loosen your grip on control.

And to ask whether desperation for God, not outcomes, might actually be a gift.

Happy Birthday: Reflections

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Cindy Ryan, Neil Matthews) — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎂🎙 SEASON 22: WHO’S THERE: REFLECTIONS

A Seven-Year Birthday Episode of Other People’s Shoes

🚪 SEASON THEME: WHO’S THERE

This season asks a quiet but powerful question:

Who’s there when life knocks?

Sometimes it’s loud.
Sometimes it’s gentle.
Sometimes it’s barely noticeable.

Season 22 is about learning to listen, especially to the small nudges we’re tempted to ignore.

🎉 SEVEN YEARS AND A DIFFERENT KIND OF BIRTHDAY

This episode marks seven years of Other People’s Shoes.

In the past, birthday episodes have looked like celebrations and countdowns.
This year felt different.

Instead of looking outward, this milestone called for reflection on growth, on listening, and on how this show has quietly shown up, week after week, like a steady presence.

So rather than a traditional birthday episode, I brought back a familiar voice from the past, echoing a line from the Season 22 intro itself.

👣

My guest today is Cindy Ryan, who first joined the show on October 5, 2022.

Cindy’s work has always centered on reflection, listening inward to find healing and clarity. That way of listening didn’t just shape her work. It shaped her life.

In 2024, Cindy felt a nudge.
A quiet knock.
A sense that something needed attention.

She listened.

That nudge led to a cancer diagnosis.

Had Cindy ignored it, had she brushed it off, or stayed busy, she would not be here today recording this episode.

🎵 THE SONG THAT REOPENED THE DOOR

In the midst of Cindy’s journey, including a vulnerable, hairless Instagram post during treatment, I felt led to reach out.

I didn’t have the right words.
So I sent a song.

If You Heard It from a Friend.

That song became the bridge to the reconnection and ultimately, the reason Cindy is back on the show today.

Because sometimes what someone needs most isn’t advice…
It’s a reminder.

🪞 A FRIEND HOLDING UP THE MIRROR

The heart of that song feels like the heart of this episode and, honestly, the heart of this show:

“Here I am holding up a mirror
Hoping you might see
Yourself a little clearer
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
From where I’m standing now
I see the light in you.”

In seasons when Cindy couldn’t always see herself clearly, the song spoke what a friend would say when words fall short.

And maybe in some small way Other People’s Shoes can be that too.

A place you come back to.
A voice that reminds you who you are.
A steady presence that shows up, even when things aren’t pleasant or easy.

🚨 THE POWER OF LISTENING

This episode isn’t about guarantees.

There was no promise that Cindy would “make it out.”
Only the choice to listen.
To respond.
To take the next step when the knock came.

As Cindy shares in this conversation:

Cancer changes your priorities.

Sometimes, listening to the smallest nudge changes everything.

💭 QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE INVITES

This conversation doesn’t rush answers. It invites reflection:

How do you respond when you feel a nudge to reach out?

What reassurance do we really have?

Can the community carry us when we’re unsure?

What happens when a friend reminds you of what you can’t see?

PSA

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jason Stone, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎙 PSA

This season called "Who's There?" asks a simple but important question:

Who’s there when life knocks and do we listen?

Sometimes the knock is loud.
Sometimes it’s subtle.
Sometimes it comes in the form of a number on a lab report that feels easy to dismiss.

This episode is about paying attention even when the signal feels small.

🧪 WHY “PSA” IS MORE THAN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

A Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test is a blood test that measures a protein produced by the prostate gland. It’s commonly used to screen for prostate cancer.

Higher PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer — but they can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions like prostatitis or an enlarged prostate (BPH). What matters most isn’t just a single number… it’s the trend over time, the context, and the questions that follow.

This episode explores what happens when a knock is noticed — but not fully understood.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

My guest today is Jason Stone, the creator and host of Prostate Cancer: The Road to Recovery.

Jason is living with stage 4 prostate cancer, and through his podcast and YouTube channel he shares his journey openly inviting survivors, fighters, and medical experts into honest conversations about treatment, stigma, resilience, and men’s health.

With a background in English and screenwriting, Jason brings clarity, precision, and humanity to conversations that are often rushed or avoided altogether.

⏳ THE MOMENT THAT LOOKED “NORMAL”

Back in 2017, Jason had a PSA test that came back slightly elevated, but still below what was considered “high.”

He was sent for a scan without explanation.
No clear follow-up.
No guidance.
No monitoring plan.

The doctor didn’t express concern and didn’t recommend continued PSA testing. Jason walked away believing there was nothing wrong.

Looking back, Jason knows that moment mattered.

If he could return to that appointment, he would have:

Asked why the scan was ordered

Asked what his PSA number actually meant

Set up annual PSA monitoring to watch for changes over time

Because sometimes what feels “fine” is actually the first knock.

💡 WHAT THIS EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

This conversation isn’t about blame it’s about awareness:

Why PSA trends matter more than a single result

The importance of asking questions, even when doctors seem unconcerned

How silence after testing can create false reassurance

Why self-advocacy matters especially in men’s health

Jason’s story reminds us that not all knocks announce themselves clearly.

Twenty Twenty

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Danielle Matthews, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

🎙 WHO’S THERE -“2020”

Hindsight is 20/20… but only after everything changes

🚪 SEASON THEME: WHO’S THERE

Season 22 asks a simple but unsettling question:

What happens when life knocks… and you answer?
And just as powerfully what happens when you don’t?

Some knocks are subtle.
Some are disruptive.
Some arrive without warning and change the direction of everything.

This season explores the moments when life crosses the threshold not always politely and asks us to respond.

👁️ WHY “HINDSIGHT IS 20/20”

We hear the phrase “hindsight is 20/20” all the time.

It means clarity only comes after the moment has passed.
After the decision.
After the accident.
After the door has already been opened or slammed shut.

You don’t see clearly in the moment.
You see clearly looking back.

This episode lives right there in the space between what we thought we knew and what life revealed later.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

Today’s guest is Danielle Matthews and yes, we share the same last name, though we are not related. That coincidence opens the door to a deeper conversation about perspective, meaning, and how clarity often comes after impact.

Danielle talks about the importance of staying in your own lane focusing inward, doing your work, and not being pulled into chaos that isn’t yours.

And then she shares this:

At 23, a drunk driver crossed into her lane and hit her head-on.

Not because she wasn’t paying attention.
Not because she did anything wrong.
But because life doesn’t always respect our lanes.

Only later in hindsight did meaning begin to take shape.

We even briefly touch on cultural ideas of irony, including Ironic, but what surfaces is something more honest than irony: the truth that wisdom doesn’t prevent life from knocking it shapes how we respond after.

🌱 HER STORY

Doctors told Danielle to accept permanent impairment as her new normal.
She refused.

What followed wasn’t just physical recovery it was an internal awakening.

Despite being told she would never heal, Danielle restored her physical health through redox signaling. That internal shift opened the door to Eastern philosophy, Yoga Nidra, and Yoga Therapy practices that helped her reset her nervous system, release stored trauma, and find calm no matter what was happening externally.

What happened to her didn’t make sense in the moment.
It only began to make sense looking back.

That’s hindsight.

💡 POWERFUL POINTS FROM THIS EPISODE

These aren’t takeaways they’re reflections that come with time:

If you feel like a victim, what if life isn’t conspiring against you, but awakening you?

What is this challenge making possible?

Who can I be when I am complete as I am?

The best thing that ever happened to me was my accident.

It’s not out there it’s inside me.

When awareness shifts, you see fault differently.

There is a blue sky somewhere… even when you can’t see it yet.

Some knocks invite healing. Others demand courage. And some… almost change everything.

⚠️ Listener Advisory

👣 Guest Introduction:
Some knocks don’t come gently.
Some arrive loud, chaotic, and terrifying.

This week’s guest, Tim Wessel, experienced an almost knock a moment so close to opening the door that it would have changed his life forever.

At one of the darkest points in his life, Tim was on his way out the door to end his life when someone else was already there, about to knock.

That interruption.
That presence.
That moment changed everything.

Tim is an ordained pastor and certified Peer Recovery Coach with a deep background in business leadership, ministry, and recovery. After earning his BBA in Accounting Information Systems from Eastern Michigan University, Tim spent 12 years working in public accounting, serving everyone from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies across the United States.

🎙 SEASON 22: WHO THERE 🚪

As we step into Season 22, I’m asking one big question:

Who’s knocking at your life’s door?

👤 Is it a long-lost friend… a past mistake… or an opportunity you never saw coming?
💡 Is it joy, peace, and purpose… or fear, doubt, and bad habits?

Some doors we throw open 🔓
Some we keep locked 🔒
Some knocks change everything

This season is about the front-door moments the knock you can’t ignore.

⚠️ LISTENER WARNING

Listener discretion is advised. This episode includes discussion of abuse, physical assault, and gun violence.

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION

What if someone invaded your home and your life through physical, emotional, and sexual violence?

Could you forgive them?
Would you ever want to?

My first guest of Season 22 is Kimberly Haar, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and author of Healing from Life’s Deepest Hurts.

Kim doesn’t speak about forgiveness from theory she lives it. A survivor of domestic violence, she discovered firsthand what real healing looks like when faith meets trauma.

💡 EPISODE TAKEAWAYS

Have you ever danced with Jesus in the middle of pain?
Can forgiveness be learned or is it a daily decision?
How do you draw close to God after trauma?
How do you find joy when the night has been long?

Kim’s work is a reminder that God can transform pain into joy. Her book offers:

A gentle guide through healing from grief, loss, and trauma

Compassionate biblical wisdom paired with practical mental-health tools

Insight from a survivor, counselor, and therapist with nearly two decades of experience

If you’ve struggled with shame, guilt, anger, unforgiveness, or felt abandoned by God, this book may be exactly what you need to move toward restoration.

Atlas

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Megan Bunnell, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

🎙✨ SEASON FINALE: ATLAS

✨

🧩 SEASON THEME: HUNGRY:

This season finale asks a simple but weighty question: what are you carrying?

Atlas, the Titan condemned to hold up the sky, has become a symbol for anyone who feels responsible for keeping everything together relationships, expectations, appearances, success. Strength slowly turns into obligation. Responsibility becomes identity.

By the end of the Hungry season, the tension is clear: you can’t keep holding the world and still be fed.

This episode explores the invisible weight of approval, people-pleasing, and perfection and what happens when hunger finally forces you to put something down.

👣 Guest Introduction:

Megan Bunnell is a transformational coach, speaker, and founder of Megan Bunnell Coaching, a space dedicated to helping women stop surviving and start choosing themselves.

Her work is rooted in the idea of tantalum a rare, resilient metal known for its strength under extreme pressure. That metaphor runs deep here. Megan believes resilience isn’t something women need to find it’s something they need permission to trust.

Through practical tools, reflection, and honest conversation, Megan helps women navigate burnout, self-doubt, and over-functioning, guiding them back to who they are beneath the weight they’ve been carrying. Her clients describe her as grounding, clarifying, and steady someone who helps you trust your own voice again.

💡 Episode Highlights

⚖️ How heavy is the burden of people-pleasing really?
🤐 Is other people’s approval worth keeping secrets for?
🪨 What are you holding that was never yours to carry?
🧠 What is your algorithm feeding you and who does it benefit?
📝 What is a brain dump, and how can it clear internal noise?
⏰ What would a 4 a.m. wake-up do for you?
🎭 Not as hustle… but as space.
📝 Silence before the world speaks.
🧠 Stillness before expectations arrive.
📝 Could waking early help you hear yourself again?
🤝 Can you really trust yourself and what happens when you do?
💭 Is it actually okay to be you, without permission?

The Gift

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Garrett Larghi, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

🎙 EPISODE TITLE: THE GIFT

🎁

🧩 SEASON THEME: HUNGRY

This season has been about appetite not just for success or answers, but for meaning, honesty, and something real.
The Gift sits right in the middle of that hunger, asking a simple but unsettling question:
What does this world actually need right now?

👣 GUEST INTRODUCTION: A CHRISTMAS TRADITION

For six years now, Christmas on Other People’s Shoes has looked a little different.
No polished bow. No scripted cheer.

Just Neil and Garrett sitting down together reflecting, laughing, asking harder questions than expected, and revisiting the journey they’ve been on together.

This year, the tradition continues with The Gift a conversation about what we give, what we withhold, and what we’re still hungry for when the lights come down and the wrapping paper is gone.

💡 EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

What we say we want for Christmas vs. what the world actually needs

Why some gifts can’t be bought, wrapped, or returned

The danger of mistaking comfort for fulfillment

A lighthearted but telling moment around shoe sizes including the reminder that Shaquille O’Neal famously wears a U.S. men’s size 22, proving once again that not everyone walks through life with the same footprint

Reflections on six years of Christmas episodes and how the meaning keeps changing

A reminder that hunger isn’t a flaw it’s often an invitation

🎁 THE HEART OF THE EPISODE: THE GIFT

Forgiveness.
Time.
Attention.
Listening without fixing.
Showing up when it’s inconvenient.

These are the gifts that don’t trend, don’t sparkle, and don’t fit neatly under a tree but they’re the ones people remember.

Crap...

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dr. Aaron Chapa, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:43:12 +0000

🎙✨ CRAP

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
It starts with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread. 🥪
Cheap. Easy. Normal.

At 15 years old, Dr. Aaron Chapa found himself overweight, confused, and hungry for direction with no real guidance on food, health, or how the body actually works.

This episode is called “CRAP” because sometimes what we eat, what we trust, and what we’re told is “normal” slowly shapes us in ways we don’t see… until it costs us.

👣 Guest Introduction

Dr. Aaron Chapa’s health journey didn’t start in a clinic it started in his own body.

In eighth grade, struggling with his weight, he made one bold decision: cut sugar. That single change led to a 45-pound weight loss in one summer and sparked a lifelong pursuit of health and wellness.

But everything shifted when Aaron held his father in his arms as he passed away suddenly from a heart attack. In that moment, he realized the system meant to protect health had failed and his calling became clear.

Today, Dr. Chapa is a functional wellness educator, chiropractor, and co-founder of Living Well Clinical Nutrition Center, helping people heal without drugs or surgery by focusing on health at the cellular level.

💡 Episode Highlights

🥪 How “normal food” quietly becomes long-term damage
📏 Why a 1-degree change matters inch by inch, it’s a cinch
🫀 How losing his father reshaped his mission and message
📊 Does the American Heart Association actually get nutrition right?
📖 The recipe you can’t afford to miss
🎥 Are we eating “make-believe food”? (Think "Hook" the movie)
🍭 Should sugar be treated like a controlled substance?
🚫 What C.R.A.P. really stands for and why it matters
🥩 Is carnivore the answer… or just part of the conversation?

🎙✨ NOW AND NEXT

🧩 Season Theme: HungryyAs we enter the home stretch of this season, the conversations get even more honest. “Hungry” has always been about the things we long forrconnection, clarity, purposeeand this episode lands right in that space..Most of us spend too much time wishing we could rewrite the past..However, in this episode leans into a mindset shift called “the now and the next.”
It’s about asking two simple but powerful questions:
What can I do with the now that’s right in front of me?
And who is the next person I can impact in a meaningful way?
It’s presence and purpose staying grounded in today while staying open to who might need you tomorrow.

👣 Guest Introduction

Today I’m joined by Marco Vega a full-time music industry pro, part-time story listener, and the self-proclaimed “bad boy of Music Row.” 🎸😎

Behind the persona is someone who understands connection, presence, and what it means to truly show up for people.

Marco also works with Loqui, a human-to-human “listening as a service” platform that gives people someone real to talk to when life feels heavy. 🗣❤️

✨ How “the now and the next” can reframe the way you move through life
😋 “Don’t yuck someone else’s yum” honoring others’ joy without judgment
📞 Do you have a 911 person for life’s emergencies?
🔌 Why we’re hyper-connected yet deeply lonely
❓ Would your friends actually call you if they needed something?

Chicken Or Fish

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jonathan McLean, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 13:32:46 +0000

🎙 Chicken Or Fish

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
As we enter the home stretch of this season, the conversations get even more honest. “Hungry” has always been about the things we long for connection, clarity, purpose and this episode lands right in that space.

👣 Guest Introduction:
My guest this week is Jonathan McLean, a true “Why” guy. He’s the kind of person who isn’t afraid to ask the deeper questions and follow them wherever they lead. Our conversation begins in a vulnerable place: the hunger to be seen, heard, and loved by those closest to us. Jonathan opened up about his relationship with his father and the ache that comes from waiting for someone to reach out. It’s something I relate to and maybe you do too.

The title Chicken Or Fish comes right out of Jonathan’s world at Osprey Guide. He shared a powerful picture: the osprey, a bird that doesn’t play it safe. It dives headfirst into cold, deep, messy water to get what it needs. It goes all in, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because staying stuck scared, hesitant, and frozen like a chicken never gets you fed.

That became the heart of our conversation:
Are you diving into the life that’s meant for you?
Or are you standing on the shore, afraid of the water?

We explore what it means to be truly seen, the weight we carry when success doesn’t feel aligned, and the pain of longing for connection from someone who never quite reaches back. And near the end, Jonathan leads us into something I don’t think has ever happened on the show before an exercise you’re invited to do with us. It’s simple, grounding, and surprisingly emotional.

Jonathan’s work centers on helping people understand their wiring through Human Design and step into their lives with clarity and courage. If you’ve felt “successfully stuck,” overwhelmed, or shaped by the expectations of others, his approach may hit home.

💡 Episode Highlights:

The osprey metaphor: choosing courage over fear
Jonathan’s deep hunger for connection with his father
What it means to feel seen and understood
The weight we carry when success doesn’t feel aligned
A first-time-on-the-show guided exercise

The Shot

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Ana Reisdorf, GLP1 Hub, GLP1, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 13:12:40 +0000

🎙: The Shot

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season leans into the places where our cravings, choices, and deeper longings collide. It’s about the things we chase, the stories we tell ourselves, and the hunger literal and not that shapes who we become.

👣 Guest Introduction:
Ana Reisdorf has spent more than 15 years helping people understand their relationship with health, weight, and nutrition. Early in her career, she worked closely with patients preparing for bariatric surgery and saw the impact of steady, informed support.

Her latest work, GLP-1 Hub, is where her personal experience, professional expertise, and heart for helping others all meet. As a dietitian who has used GLP-1 medications herself, she saw how much confusion was out there. So she built a place where experts MDs, RDs, and other health pros offer clear, trustworthy guidance for anyone navigating these medications and the weight-loss journey that often comes with them.

Ana joins us to talk about “the shot,” the hope people bring to it, the misconceptions that get in the way, and what lasting change can actually look like.

💡 Episode Highlights:

Her personal experience with GLP-1 medications
Why so many people struggle to get sustainable results
The myths and misunderstandings that often derail progress
Practical steps for anyone considering or already using GLP-1 treatments

Enough Mediocrity

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Wes Woodard, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:15:36 +0000

🎙 Enough Mediocrity

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season explores hunger not just for food, but for belonging, purpose, identity, and healing. Hunger shows us what we’re still carrying and what we keep feeding.

👣 With Thanksgiving almost here, it’s natural to think about who’ll be gathering around your table. But today’s conversation asks a deeper question: Who have you been allowing to sit at your table that shouldn’t be there anymore?

Are shame, loneliness, depression, or “not enough” still claiming a seat?

Sometimes the most healing words we can hear are: “It’s not your fault.”
But many of us keep serving ourselves the same old, moldy dish called “It’s still your fault.”

My guest today, Wes Woodson, knows that battle well. Wes is a mental health advocate and speaker whose story helps make conversations about anxiety, confidence, and self-worth feel human, honest, and approachable. You can learn more about him here:

💡 Episode Highlights:

Who truly belongs at your table and who doesn’t
Why hearing “it’s not your fault” can be life-changing
How to stop feeding yourself old stories that keep you stuck
The cost of staying where you’re tolerated instead of celebrated
The quiet ways we disrespect ourselves—and how to stop
How to gather evidence that you are enough
Wes’s journey from anxiety to purpose
A powerful perspective from Louie Giglio on identity and worth

🍽️ Season Theme: Hungry
This season, we’re exploring what it means to be hungry not just for food, but for purpose, meaning, connection, and identity. Hunger drives us, defines us, and sometimes exposes what’s really missing inside.

👣 Guest Introduction:
Have you ever tried eating alone in a restaurant no phone, no music, just you and your thoughts? It’s harder than it sounds. I’ve been testing that lately during my lunch breaks, realizing how uncomfortable it can feel to just be with myself. My guest today, Constance Curtis, knows exactly why that discomfort shows up and how to move through it.

Constance is a transformational coach and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience helping people align with their purpose, break through limiting beliefs, and live with authenticity. After building multiple businesses and walking through her own reinventions, she now guides entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives who feel stuck or disconnected.

Her approach? Grounded, no-fluff transformation that blends mindset shifts with real strategy. Together, we dive into what it takes to stop seeking external validation and start finding it within.

💡 Episode Highlights:

What external validation really costs and how to find worth from within

How to release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your purpose

The messy, beautiful process of real growth

Why alignment matters more than achievement

🍁🌱 A Thanksgiving Seed

Thanksgiving isn’t just about full plates 🦃🍽️
it’s about roots the kind we grow on purpose 🌾

The soil remembers every hand that turned it 🤲
every hope tucked beneath chilly November ground 🍂

Some seasons feed us 🥕
Some seasons stretch us 🌿
And hunger?
It’s not always a rumble in the stomach
sometimes it’s the deep ache to become
who we’re meant to be 🌱✨

In backyards and borrowed plots 🏙️🪴
growth insists on showing up
even where concrete thought it had the last word.

One seed can feed a home 🌰🏡
One tree can shade generations 🌳👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
And one hungry heart
can shift a broken system,
starting right where it stands 💪🌍

So this Thanksgiving 🍁
as we pass the mashed potatoes and gratitude 🥔❤️
may we plant new stories too
for the selves we’re becoming
and the gardens waiting to rise 🌷🙌

Unwanted

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Christi Kelsey, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Episode Title: Unwanted

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season explores different kinds of hunger both literal and metaphorical. From struggles with food to deeper cravings for purpose, fulfillment, and connection, we’re diving into stories that truly nourish the soul.

👣 Guest Introduction:
I’ve got to admit when I first heard that today’s guest, Christi Kelsey, had a connection to Duke University (her husband works at the Duke Cancer Center in Durham, North Carolina), I hesitated.
If you know me, you know where my loyalties lie. Around here, Duke and UNC aren’t just schools they’re archenemies. The rivalry runs deep, and sometimes, honestly, it can cloud how we see people on the “other side.”

But as I sat with it, I realized something: the greatest rivalries often happen much closer to home. Sometimes the fiercest opponent isn’t wearing a different shade of blue it’s the face staring back at us in the mirror.

That’s what this episode is really about.

Christi is a nutrition coach, cancer survivor, and women’s health advocate who knows what it feels like to feel unwanted—by your body, your circumstances, or your reflection. After two cancer diagnoses and years of fighting her body, Christi learned how to stop seeing herself as the enemy and start treating her body as an ally.

Now she helps women over 40 break free from the guilt, restriction, and all-or-nothing mindset that keep them stuck. Her approach isn’t about diets it’s about dignity, strength, and learning to make peace with yourself.

💡 Episode Highlights:

How cancer transformed Christi’s relationship with her body

The connection between rivalry, identity, and self-image

Why guilt and restriction never lead to freedom

How to build sustainable habits that actually last

What it means to nourish yourself instead of punish yourself

How to make peace with your body no jersey required

Golden Ticket

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Charles Fernández, IMPACTA, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 13:46:00 +0000

🎙 Golden Ticket

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season, we’re exploring what it means to be hungry not just for food, but for purpose, meaning, connection, and identity. Hunger can drive us, define us, and sometimes destroy us. But it also reveals what truly satisfies the soul.

👣 Guest Introduction:
Remember Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the kid who found the Golden Ticket and got a glimpse behind the gates of wonder? This episode plays with that same idea, but through the story of Charles Fernández, a two-time Olympian from Guatemala who discovered that the real “golden ticket” isn’t found on a candy bar wrapper it’s discovered within.

Charles grew up doing humanitarian work with his family in the mountains of Guatemala before rising to become a world champion in modern pentathlon. He’s competed at two Olympic Games, won gold at the Pan American Games, and stood among the world’s best. But after the applause faded, Charles faced a deeper challenge: Who was he when the medals and titles weren’t enough?

Today, Charles leads IMPACTA, a high-performance coaching company helping leaders, athletes, and changemakers align identity, mindset, and purpose. His story is one of hunger for integrity, for presence, and for the kind of success that isn’t just seen, but felt.

💡 Episode Highlights:

What it really takes to compete and win on the world stage

The crash that comes after achieving your biggest dream

Redefining integrity: living in alignment with who you are

The difference between performing and being present

How to pursue excellence without losing yourself in the process

Why the “golden ticket” might not be what you think it is

🎙 Episode Title: Bitter Herbs

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
The season theme Hungry explores the cravings that shape our lives not just for food, but for healing, hope, and meaning. “Bitter herbs” remind us of the hard and painful parts of life that we must sometimes taste in order to fully appreciate sweetness and renewal.

👣 Guest Introduction:
This week, we step into the shoes of Zach Tidwell a Marine Corps veteran whose journey is both heartbreaking and deeply inspiring. On his second deployment, Zach received devastating news: his wife was having an affair. The marriage ended in 2018, and just months later, he was in a motorcycle accident that left him with a severe traumatic brain injury. As he battled impulsivity, agitation, and alcohol abuse, he was honorably discharged and tried to start fresh in Colorado, pursuing a nursing degree. On the outside, life looked steady. Inside, he was spiraling.

By spring of 2019, Zach reached his breaking point. On March 31st, he attempted to take his life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the face. Against all odds, he survived but awoke to a new reality: completely blind and deaf in one ear.

What could have been the end of Zach’s story became the beginning of something remarkable. He relearned how to eat, brush his teeth, and walk. Within eight months, he was back on a snowboard in the Rocky Mountains. Soon after, he returned to college, where he began to pursue accessibility solutions after facing new challenges as a blind student.

Today, Zach is not just a survivor he’s a force. He skis, rock climbs, whitewater kayaks, skydives, and even competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His story of resilience, innovation, and perseverance offers hope for anyone tasting the bitter herbs of life, especially during Suicide Prevention Week.

💡 Episode Highlights:

The painful unraveling that began with betrayal and a traumatic brain injury.

The moment Zach attempted to end his life and why survival changed everything.

His courageous journey of learning to live blind, and choosing to thrive.

Why his message matters so deeply in the conversation around suicide prevention.

SEASON FINALE: De Oppresso Liber

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

⚠️ Content Warning:In this episode, Joshua Daniel shares about his time as an Army Ranger and Green Beret, including a mission involving a suicide bomber. Listener discretion is advised.⚠️

🎙 De Oppresso Liber

🧩 Season Theme: Unmade
The season theme 'Unmade' refers to the concept of an 'unmade bed' raw, honest, and messy moments in life when things fall apart, identities unravel, and people are confronted with the truth of who they really are.

👣 Guest Introduction:
From a high school student enlisting at 17 to serving over 20 years in Special Operations, Joshua Daniel’s journey is one of resilience, sacrifice, and conviction. By 18, he had made it into the Special Operations community, and at 19, he deployed to combat for the first time. His path wasn’t smooth setbacks, challenges, and moments that could have derailed him were real but quitting was never an option.

Joshua retired as a Master Sergeant, not because he was the most gifted, but because he was relentlessly committed: to the mission, to the men beside him, and to the ideal embodied in the Green Beret motto: De Oppresso Liber To free the oppressed.

After his sixth deployment, Joshua founded Hero Games Charity, honoring fallen warriors and supporting their families through a grueling 6–8 hour crucible event built on sweat, grit, and legacy. Later, he launched Counter Culture Solutions, equipping people with mindset, resilience, and leadership skills forged in the Special Operations community.

Joshua’s journey from enlisting at 17 to becoming a Green Beret

A powerful story from a mission involving a suicide bomber

Why De Oppresso Liber is more than a motto it’s a way of life

Missing Piece

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jordan Turbyfill, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Episode Title: The Missing Piece

👣 Guest Introduction:
Jordan Turbyfill has made a career in craftsmanship, but today he steps into a very different kind of work examining the heart behind our words. Known for his easy humor and quick wit, Jordan admits he’s guilty of tossing out the occasional “yo momma” joke. But what happens when a laugh cuts deeper than intended?

For Jordan, conversations about motherhood carry weight. The raw honesty in NF’s song How Could You Leave Us resonates deeply with himits haunting story of love, loss, and longing for a mother who was physically present but emotionally absent. It’s a reminder that the mother child bond can be a source of comfort or of pain, and that its absence can leave a hole nothing else quite fills. Together, we explore how jokes can become mirrors, revealing both the beauty and brokenness in our relationships, and why missing that connection can feel like the missing piece in life’s puzzle.

💡 Episode Highlights:

The double-edged nature of humor and the jokes we think are harmless.

Why motherhood whether experienced firsthand or longed for is one of life’s greatest gifts.

How NF’s How Could You Leave Us captures the pain of a fractured parental bond.

The lasting impact of losing or never having a healthy mother–child connection.

How love, absence, and humor can all shape identity and belonging.

Messy Prayers

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Amanda Hayhurst, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙Messy Prayers

🗝️ Praying for someone—especially your spouse—is like trying to plant seeds in rocky soil.
You know growth is possible, but every time you kneel down, you hit something hard: past wounds, unmet expectations, pride, fear. It takes work to clear the ground. But if you stay with it, roots can take hold—and something beautiful can grow.

👣 Guest Introduction:
Amanda Hayhurst once looked at Christian women and thought they were fake—polished on the outside, probably polished on the inside too. But behind her own smile was a heart weighed down by shame, years of unhealthy coping, and ultimately, an affair that nearly destroyed her marriage.

Just when things couldn’t feel more unmade, Amanda also faced one of the hardest chapters of her life walking through her young son’s leukemia diagnosis. And later, navigating her own health struggles. But instead of giving up, she began to press in. Amanda found herself surrendering the false identities she had clung to for years. Through therapy, community, and a growing relationship with Jesus, she uncovered something deeper than survival: healing.

Now a seminary graduate, author of Pray for Him, and fierce advocate for honest, messy prayers, Amanda shares how God restored her life, her marriage, and continues to heal her heart day by day.

💡 Episode Highlights:

🛑 Why praying for your spouse can feel impossible and what’s really behind the resistance

💔 Amanda’s journey through shame, false intimacy, an affair, and her own health struggles

🩺 How her son’s leukemia diagnosis became a breaking and rebuilding point in her faith

🧎‍♀️ Surrendering unhealthy coping tools, including alcohol, performance, and escapism

📖 The difference between salvation and healing and why God wants both for us

💬 The raw, unfiltered truth about finding intimacy with God through pain

✨ What happens when we finally begin to pray not perfectly, but honestly

Dissonance

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Billy Byrd Sr., Neil Matthews) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Dissonance

👣
🌵 Picture this: you're walking through a vast, dry desert, sun scorching your back, lips cracked, feet aching with every step. But you keep going. Why? Because on the horizon, you think you see it: approval, notoriety, love, fulfillment. You’re desperate for a drop of something real. But what if all those mirages are just that mirages?

🎶 The musical artist Plumb once wrote:

"There’s a God-shaped hole in all of us,
And the restless soul is searching.
There’s a God-shaped hole in all of us,
And it’s a void only He can fill."

That’s the ache of dissonance—the tension between what we chase and what we truly need. 💔✨

Today’s guest, Billy Byrd Sr., knows that desert well. 🏜 At 19, he found himself in federal prison, chasing things that never truly filled him.

In the silence, the dissonance of his life, the clash between who he was and who he was created to be, became impossible to ignore. 🎤🙏

What emerged wasn’t just a man with a microphone, but an artist and pastor whose music and message now echo with redemption, purpose, and praise. 🎵⛪️

From early rhythms in R&B to a soul deeply rooted in worship, Billy’s upcoming album “I Trust You” is more than music; it’s a testimony. His life, once marked by chaos, now sings a new song: one of faith, healing, and divine harmony. 🌈🔥

💡 Episode Highlights:

💭 What “dissonance” really means in life, faith, and identity

🎯 The false promises of fame, fortune, and approval

🔐 How federal prison became a turning point for Billy

🎶 The power of music to guide, heal, and lead us to truth

🕳 The "God-shaped hole" and what finally fills it

🙌 The message behind “I Trust You” and why it matters now

Out Of Control

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (June Kraholik, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Out of Control

👣
You’ve probably heard the phrase “members only,” a special club with exclusive access. Think Costco, country clubs, and elite lounges at the airport. But there’s one membership no one ever wants, one that June Kraholik found herself part of in the most gut-wrenching way possible: the invisible club of grieving mothers.

In 2012, June lost her two-year-old son Kaleb, and life as she knew it stopped making sense. Grief didn’t just knock on the door; it overtook her. But out of that devastation, June slowly found a way to transform her pain into purpose. Her debut nonfiction book, Momma, You Don’t Heal, offers an honest, raw, and deeply personal look at what it means to lose a child and live beyond the unthinkable.

💡 Episode Highlights:

🎟 Why grief can feel like a “membership club” no one ever signs up for

💔 What happens when grief becomes something you live with instead of healing from

🧠 The emotional and psychological toll of unresolved grief backed by startling statistics

🗣 The social stigma surrounding child loss and why many grieving mothers feel invisible

✍️ How June used storytelling as a lifeline and why writing helped her process the unimaginable

🕊 A message to mothers who’ve lost children: You’re not alone, and your story still matters

The Change

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙BONUS: The Change

🧩 Unmade:
🛏️ Like an unmade bed, this season leans into the raw, honest, and often messy moments of life—the ones where everything we thought we knew unravels. It’s in these unmade spaces that we begin to see what’s real, what matters, and who we truly are becoming.

🩵💔

What if the worst moment of your life didn’t destroy you, but instead uncovered your calling?
🔥 In the wake of an unthinkable tragedy, Kathy Sanders did something few would dare: she stepped closer to the pain, asked the hardest questions, and refused to be silenced.
👣 This isn’t just a story about grief. It’s about uncovering the truth, no matter where it leads—and choosing to remain unchanged by a broken world.

👣 Kathy Sanders never intended to become an advocate, author, or investigator. But when the Oklahoma City bombing claimed the lives of her two young grandsons on April 19, 1995, everything in her life came unmade. 💥👼👼

As she mourned, a deeper question haunted her: Was the story we were told the whole truth?
📖 Nearly thirty years later, Kathy’s relentless pursuit of answers has uncovered disturbing evidence of a broader conspiracy—connecting domestic terrorism to far-right extremists, militia groups, and possible government failures. Her book, Shadows of Conspiracy, and her appearance in the Max documentary An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th, challenge us to look beyond the headlines and confront the truths we might rather ignore.

🎶

This bonus episode takes its name from the Garth Brooks song “The Change,” which reminds us that sometimes our actions aren’t about changing the world, but about refusing to let the world change us:

🎵 And I hear them saying,
"You'll never change things
And no matter what you do
It's still the same thing."
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so, this world we know
Never changes me
What I do is so, this world will know
That it will not change me"

🕊️

Previously on Other People’s Shoes, we spoke with David Thibodeau, one of the survivors of the Waco standoff, another event closely tied to the timeline that led to April 19th.
👉 Listen to that powerful conversation here: Season Finale: Waco

💡 Episode Highlights:

👩‍👦 Kathy’s deeply personal story of loss and how it led to a life of uncovering the truth

🕵️‍♀️ The disturbing patterns and overlooked evidence that challenge the official narrative

🕊️ What it means to pursue justice without bitterness

🎤 The power of staying grounded in your convictions—even when the world says, "You’ll never change things"

🪞 How does this story fit into the larger theme of living through the “unmade” moments

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: ⚠️

This episode contains sensitive content, including references to sexual violence and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.

🎙 Trapped

👣 This week’s guest, Tam Lawrence, has lived through unimaginable darkness—but her story doesn’t end there. Raped at 14 and put in a cage for two years at the age of 17, Tam's journey is one of extraordinary resilience. Today, she stands as a powerful voice in media, advocacy, and entrepreneurship. Her spirit is unbreakable, her voice unwavering, and her story—one of unmaking and remaking—is unforgettable.

The vivacious Tam Lawrence has owned and operated multiple businesses for over three decades. Refusing to let corporate America define her path, she carved out her own destiny—becoming a celebrated entrepreneur, author, media mogul, and activist.

From a degree in Human Services to a BA in Communication and Psychology at Marquette, and later a Master’s in Journalism from Kent University, Tam’s academic achievements are just the beginning. She toured the world as a stand-up comic, appeared on BET Comic View, and shared stages with Jamie Foxx and Sommore.

Tam founded Exposure Magazine, Exposure Plus TV, and Keynote Magazine, and formed the Urban Media Union to amplify the voices of underrepresented individuals in media. Her career also includes work as a Wisconsin State Lobbyist fighting for vulnerable aging populations.

But beyond titles and accolades, Tam is a mother, a survivor, and a fierce advocate for change—proof that even the most unmade stories can be rewritten into ones of impact and empowerment.

🧩 Season Theme: Unmade
In a world where life often feels like an unmade bed—chaotic 🌀, imperfect 🧺, and in need of care 💔—we explore the beauty and power of restoration ✨. This season, we spotlight stories of people who are remaking what was once broken, messy, or incomplete 🛠️.

👣
Throughout history, some of the most remarkable Americans—people like Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and even the Founding Fathers—looked at the messiness of this nation 🇺🇸 and said, "Enough." They didn’t run from the chaos—they reshaped it 🔥.

This week, we welcome someone with that same kind of conviction: David Pasqualone 🙌.

In this special 4th of July episode 🎆, David joins us to explore the idea of freedom in a fractured nation—and he doesn’t shy away from answering the big question: “What would you change about the United States of America?” 🗽

💡 Episode Highlights:

🇺🇸 Why David believes messiness is part of the American DNA

📜 Reflecting on the Founding Fathers’ response to chaos and oppression

🔍 How David thinks the USA can get “remade” through purpose and vision

❓ The one thing David would change about America if he could

🔥 A powerful reminder that freedom isn't free—it’s forged in fire and refined in truth

Unbreakable Light

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Carolyn Sophia Skowron, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Unbreakable Light

🧩 Season Theme: Unmade
Much like an unmade bed can be straightened, so too can the messy and painful parts of our lives be reshaped, redefined, and ultimately redeemed. Unmade is about the journey of becoming, again and again.

👣

What do you do when you're in a place so dark, you can’t see the light—or even remember what light feels like? This week’s guest, Carolyn Sophia Skowron, brings us into her raw, real, and redemptive story of navigating life with Nonverbal Learning Disability, depression, and anxiety. From childhood bullying to relentless self-doubt and anxiety, Carolyn often felt invisible and unworthy. She grew up believing she was broken—until she started to rebuild.

One moment stands out in her story: the day of a hit-and-run car accident. At the very last second, just before impact, Carolyn reached for her seatbelt and buckled it—an act that quite literally saved her life. That moment became more than just physical survival; it symbolized a turning point. It was as if something deep inside her said, You still matter. You’re still worth saving. That split-second decision became the spark that led her on a path to discovering her unbreakable light—a strength that had always been there, waiting to be seen.

💡 Episode Highlights:

Carolyn’s experience growing up feeling like an outsider

Her diagnosis of Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD) and what it revealed

The mental toll of bullying, isolation, and internalized self-hate

The hit-and-run accident—and how reaching for her seatbelt became a defining moment

The journey from self-doubt to self-awareness

How therapy, mindfulness, and inner work transformed her foundation

The power of choosing resilience, even in the darkest of places

This season, we walk into the unexpected—where life unravels, dreams collapse, and identities shift. But sometimes, being unmade is the first step toward being remade. What do we do when the timeline of our lives breaks beyond repair?

👣 Guest Introduction:
This week, I’m joined by Jill Pavlov, a magnetic voice in the world of messaging and storytelling. She’s the founder of Copy POP!, where she helps women transform the chaos in their heads into powerful words they’re proud to say out loud. Jill is helping in assisting entrepreneurs clarify their brand message. She was an entertainment reporter, learning firsthand how presence, performance, and storytelling can command a room.

🎙️ Episode Title:

"🐛 Hungry Caterpillar"

👟 Theme:

Season of Unmade — In this season, we explore what happens when life takes us apart, only to reveal who we were truly meant to be. Sometimes we have to be unmade to be remade. 🔄🦋

🎤 Guest Introduction:

What’s your greatest pet peeve? 😤 Maybe it's slow drivers 🚗💨, loud chewing 😬, or people who always interrupt. But for today’s guest, Jordan Miller, it's something deeper: accepting things as truth without asking the hard questions. ❓🧠

Jordan was raised as a devout member of the LDS (Latter-day Saint) faith 🙏. He believed. He served. He followed. But inside, a hunger began to grow — a hunger for authenticity, for answers, for truth. 🌱

Eventually, he stepped away from everything he knew to become a truth seeker 🧭. Inspired by his childhood fascination with Bill Nye the Science Guy 🔬🧪, Jordan now approaches life like a science experiment — testing, questioning, and evolving.

Just like a caterpillar, always hungry for more 🐛, Jordan’s journey is one of continuous transformation. 👉 Join me as I step into Jordan’s shoes.

🔍 Episode Highlights:

💬 What was it like growing up in the LDS community

⚖️ Wrestling with doubt, truth, and letting go

🔭 How science and critical thinking became guiding forces

🧪 Life as a spiritual experiment

🐛 The metaphor of the hungry caterpillar — growing through curiosity and change

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Mark Anthony, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 21 May 2025 07:00:00 +0000

🎙 Mind Reset: Mark Anthony

👤 Guest Intro:
Laughter, entertainment, just playing around, hoodwinked, hypnosis, bamboozled — today’s episode might start with a few laughs, but don’t be fooled. My guest, world-renowned hypnotist Mark Anthony, brings a story that’s anything but a trick. Raised in the chaos of Southeast London — surrounded by violence, abandonment, and addiction — Mark’s life spiraled through crime, prison, and pain.

But behind bars, he made one life-altering decision.
And that choice became the mind reset that changed everything.

While hypnosis can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation, it is not a game. In the wrong hands, it can be dangerous and even destructive. Please use extreme caution when exploring hypnosis and always seek trained, ethical professionals.

With a violent and chaotic childhood, Mark fought to survive

How abandonment, abuse, and betrayal shaped his early years

The moment in prison that shifted everything

Discovering hypnosis — and how it gave him his life back

Why Mark’s story isn’t about tricks, but transformation

Using hypnotism to help others rise above the mess

The powerful reminder: It’s not where you start, it’s what you choose

Transformers

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Roman Fischer, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

In this powerful episode of Other People's Shoes, we explore the true meaning of transformation — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. Much like the 80s classic Transformers cartoon, where characters could shift into stronger, more capable versions of themselves, today’s guest, Roman Fischer reveals how he tapped into that same transformative power through fitness. Bullied and body-shamed growing up, Roman struggled with negative thoughts and the pain of others’ judgments. But everything changed when he discovered the gym. What started as a way to escape became a path to empowerment. Through the discipline of weight lifting, Roman found confidence, clarity, and control over his own narrative.

We dive into:

Roman’s early experiences with bullying and self-doubt

How fitness became a safe place for growth and healing

The mindset shift that helped him overcome negativity

Why it’s never too late to start your health journey

The power of routine and showing up, even on the hard days

His favorite quote: "Motivation gets you going, but consistency keeps you growing."

Puzzles

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dr. Danisha Keating) — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Let’s use our imagination for a moment.

Picture a puzzle box—1,000 pieces, maybe more. You’ve just opened it. The pieces spill out across the table. As you begin flipping each one over, you try to envision what the finished picture will look like. Piece by piece, the image becomes clearer. You start to feel that satisfaction of progress… until you realize something’s not right. Some pieces are missing. No matter how hard you search, they’re just not there.

This is more than just a frustrating puzzle. For Dr. Danisha Keating, it’s a metaphor for her life.

Danisha grew up in the foster care system—moving from place to place, often without answers or a sense of stability. As an adult, she recently attempted to retrieve her childhood records, hoping to uncover the truth about what led to her placement in foster care. She was seeking answers, clarity, and maybe even healing. But instead, she found redacted files. Pages of information blacked out. Details erased. Just like a puzzle with critical pieces gone.

Her story brought to mind a song I hadn’t heard in years: “Does Anybody Hear Her” by Casting Crowns. The lyrics still hit hard:

"Does anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me..."

Danisha’s story is one of heartbreak, yes—but also of incredible resilience. She has taken those blank spaces, those unanswered questions, and chosen to build something beautiful with what she does have. She's now a speaker, educator, and advocate—helping others find hope amid their missing pieces.

In this episode, we lace up and try on Dr. Danisha Keating’s boots—walking with her through trauma, silence, and discovery. You’ll hear about what it means to grow up without a clear picture of your past, how to keep walking forward even when things don’t make sense, and how empathy and awareness can change everything for someone still struggling to be seen.

Out Of The Box

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Sean O'Grady, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 9 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Let's step out of the box! Today, I'm joined by the incredibly talented and deeply authentic Seán O'Grady. Seán's journey is one many of us can relate to—marked by challenges, including a past with drugs, and a search for identity and purpose. Seán’s story is so powerful because he turned the lens on his own life and began to tell stories through photography and videography. Seán first picked up a camera back in high school while navigating his love for skateboarding, music, and the arts. Although he didn't feel confident enough to pursue those creative paths directly, the camera gave him a unique way to immerse himself in the culture, document it, and become a creative force within it. Whether he's capturing the energy of a live show, the artistry of a chef in the kitchen, or the spirit of a brand with a meaningful mission, Seán has found a way to be present, contribute, and inspire. He sees his camera as more than just a tool—it's a bridge between his passions and the world, a stage where he doesn't need to perform, but still gets to shine. Now, Seán uses his skills to tell engaging stories that spark social change and bring awareness to the causes and communities he cares about. As he puts it, "I'm blessed to be able to do what I love to do. Come with me on my journey and let me capture your reality.” Join me as I try on Seán shoes.

Being Fool

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Debra McNinch, Battle Cry, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 2 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

April Fools’ Day: A Day of Tricks—But Don’t Be Deceived. April Fools’ Day has been around for centuries, but its origins are a little murky. Some say it started in 1582 when France switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, moving the New Year from April 1st to January 1st. Those who didn’t get the memo—or refused to accept the change—were mocked and tricked, earning the title of “April fools.” Others trace it back to ancient Roman festivals where deception and pranks were part of the celebration. Either way, it’s a day built on fooling people, making them believe something that isn’t true.

Yesterday, I played along. On social media, I teased that Other People’s Shoes was coming to an end and that the time had come for a change. It was just a joke, but for a moment, some believed it. And that got me thinking—how often do we believe the lies we’re told?

Because the truth is, deception isn’t just for one day a year. It’s happening all around us, every single day.

Our Children Are Under Attack

Right now, our young people are being fed lies—about their identity, their worth, their purpose. They’re told they can define their own truth, that faith is outdated, that they don’t belong. And many parents are left feeling helpless, believing another dangerous lie: there’s nothing they can do.

My guest, Debra McNinch, knows this battle all too well.

For her, one phone call changed everything. She had raised her family in faith, yet one of her children took a path she never expected. Fear, shame, and heartbreak followed. She wondered where she went wrong, and questioned if she had failed as a mother. But then she learned the most powerful truth of all:

God is not done writing their story.

In Battle Cry, Debra shares how to:

Develop a focused daily prayer plan to lay your prodigal at Jesus’ feet.

Let go of your imagined “fairy-tale” life and trust God with your reality.

Overcome the shame of not raising perfect Christian children.

Her motto is simple: NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE.

This is a wake-up call. The enemy wants us to believe our prodigals are too far gone, that prayer doesn’t work, that hope is lost. But that’s just another trick.

Who will rise up? Who will answer the call to stand in the gap, to battle in prayer, to intercede for our sons and daughters?

Satan may think he’s won, but the battle isn’t over. God is still in control, and our prodigals are coming home.

Buy Battle Cry click here today and pray your prodigal home. Join me as I walk in Debra’s shoes.

Another Knock At The Door

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Imagine this for a moment: it’s Saturday afternoon. The week has been long, and you’ve finally carved out some time for yourself. You’re in your favorite cozy spot in the living room—maybe it’s the couch that perfectly hugs you or that recliner that’s seen better days but feels just right. You’ve got the TV on, ready to catch up on your favorite show, and for a moment, everything feels perfect.

💠

And then it happens.

Alexa’s voice cuts through your peaceful bubble: “Someone is at the front door.”

💠

Annoyed, you groan, thinking, “Who could it be now?” Maybe it’s a neighbor, or worse—a salesperson. You grudgingly get up, annoyed at the interruption. You’re already rehearsing your response in your head: “No, I’m not interested. I don’t care what you’re selling!”

💠

As you peek out the window, you realize it’s not a salesperson. It’s worse.

💠

Standing there are two people with smiles too wide for comfort, clutching those unmistakable pamphlets. You mutter to yourself, “Jehovah’s Witnesses. Great.” Your mind flashes to Sam from work—you know, the one who’s always leaving those flyers around the breakroom. You can’t help but roll your eyes.

💠

Now, you’re faced with a dilemma. Do you answer the door? Or do you pretend you’re not home and wait them out?

💠

My guest today, Nathan, has a unique perspective on this situation. He’s a second-generation Jehovah’s Witness who made the bold decision to leave the Kingdom Hall behind—a choice that came with enormous consequences. Why did he leave? What was it like to walk away from a faith that had been part of his family for generations?

Nathan’s story is one of courage, heartbreak, and rediscovery. There’s a reason he’s chosen not to share his last name, and as you’ll hear, his journey is as eye-opening as it is powerful.

💠

So, are you ready to find out what it’s really like to step away from a faith so deeply rooted in your identity? To hear the story of someone who chose to walk a different path despite the odds?

💠

Hit play and join me as I step into the shoes of Nathan, a former Jehovah’s Witness.

The Choice

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

💔 Abortion. A word that carries weight, controversy, pain, and shame. It’s a topic often whispered about, avoided in conversation, or shrouded in judgment. But what happens when the shame isn't just about the choice—but about who you are? This week, my guest, Tonya Bailey Jones, shares her powerful journey of self-discovery—one that took decades to fully embrace. For much of her life, she struggled with her identity, unable to confidently say the words: I am Tonya Bailey Jones. But today, she not only says them—she knows and loves who she is. From childhood, Tonya felt like an outsider, never truly accepted for who she was. As she moved through adulthood, she became a version of herself shaped by the validation of others—playing the role she thought she was supposed to. The distractions of military service, parenting, and everyday responsibilities allowed her to bury the unease deep inside. But when retirement brought stillness, its weight became undeniable. She could no longer outrun “the feeling.” The mask she had worn for so long began to crumble. Join us as Tonya opens up about the deep shame, the search for identity, and the moment she finally embraced her true self. Her story is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the courage to face the person in the mirror. 👟 Join me as I walk in Tonya’s shoes.

Loathing

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Andy Bagwell, Reed Tucker, I Hate Duke) — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Loathing...The Duke vs. UNC rivalry is the sports equivalent of Loathing from Wicked—a relationship built on deep-seated animosity, unwavering contempt, and just a hint of begrudging respect. Much like Elphaba and Glinda’s cutting yet strangely harmonious duet, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils are forever intertwined, each defining the other through decades of battles on the hardwood. Every season, the Cameron Crazies' sneers and the Dean Dome’s roars echo the song’s theatrical vitriol—"Every little trait, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl!"—a sentiment any UNC fan can relate to when spotting Duke’s blue and white on the court. My guest today is Andy Bagwell. Andy Bagwell, co-author of Duke Sucks: A Completely Even-Handed, Unbiased Investigation into the Most Evil Team on Planet Earth, captured this dynamic perfectly, dissecting Duke’s infamous flopping, smug superiority, and, of course, their uncanny ability to get every foul call.

But in true Other People’s Shoes fashion, what happens if we step back and examine this rivalry from another angle? The loathing, after all, is what makes it great—what fuels the passion, the unforgettable moments, the pure ecstasy of victory and the gut-wrenching agony of defeat. Without Duke, there is no UNC dominance; without UNC, there is no Duke villainy. Just as Elphaba and Glinda’s friction drives Wicked’s story forward, this rivalry elevates college basketball itself. It’s a hatred that, deep down, every fan secretly loves. Because in the end, while loathing may be the foundation, the rivalry itself is pure magic. Join me as I step into Andy's shoes.

Lemons Into Tamales

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Leslie Alvarez, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Which would you rather indulge in, lemons or tamales? I feel like it's a pretty easy choice, right? Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. Sometimes, it feels like all we have are lemons—sour, bitter, and hard to swallow. But what if, instead of making lemonade, we made something heartier, something rich with culture, love, and perseverance—like tamales? In this episode, I sit down with Leslie Alvarez, a woman whose life is a testament to resilience, hustle, and the power of staying true to oneself. From a young age, Leslie learned the value of hard work and determination. Whether it was selling homemade oatmeal cookies to buy a bike or making tamales to support her family, she embraced the philosophy: “Where there is a will, there is always a way.” This mantra has carried her through some of life’s toughest moments. Leslie’s journey is one of incredible highs and devastating lows—financial struggles, relationship breakdowns, health crises, and career setbacks. She has faced them all, from early motherhood and divorce to job loss and a terrifying incident involving her son. Yet, through every storm, she chose to rise, using each hardship as fuel for growth and transformation. Leslie reminds us that while life may hand us lemons, we can turn them into something meaningful. Whether it’s tamales, a new career, or a fresh perspective, there is always a way forward. Join me as I walk in Leslie’s shoes.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

The Power of Hustle: How a strong work ethic and creative problem-solving helped Leslie push through tough times.

Overcoming Adversity: Facing challenges head-on, from financial struggles to personal losses, and emerging stronger.

Authenticity as Strength: The importance of staying true to oneself in a world that often pressures us to wear masks.

Finding Hope in Hardship: Why struggles can be a catalyst for transformation rather than a reason to give up.

STOP! Sayin' This...

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 20:08:36 +0000

In this episode of Other People's Shoes, we take an X-Ray look into the life and work of Mary Beth Schrudder, a transformational life coach with expertise in the Law of Attraction, relationship coaching, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation.

Mary Beth’s journey has been anything but easy. After years in the corporate world, balancing life as a single mom while battling addictions to alcohol, food, and toxic relationships, she realized something had to change. Traditional 12-step recovery programs didn’t work for her, so she set out on a path of self-discovery, researching alternative and spiritual recovery methods that truly transformed her life.

Now, as a certified coach, she helps others break free from limiting beliefs and destructive cycles by applying the correct principles of the Law of Attraction—going beyond just “positive thinking” to become the deliberate creators of their own lives truly.

In our conversation, Mary Beth shared:
👁️‍🗨️ How she turned her biggest struggles into stepping stones for success
🌟 Why so many people misunderstand the Law of Attraction—and how to use it effectively
💡 The power of taking quantum leaps instead of baby steps toward your dreams
🛤️ Practical tools you can apply immediately to shift your mindset and transform your reality

If you’ve ever felt stuck in self-sabotage, struggled with addiction, or wondered how to attract the life you truly desire, this episode will give you a new perspective—an X-Ray view—into what’s possible when you embrace personal transformation.

Tomorrow

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Mike Oppenheim, Coffin Talk, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In this heartfelt episode of Other People's Shoes, I sit down with my good friend Mike Oppenheim from the podcast Coffin Talk. Mike has become a true friend in this podcasting space, and today he shares a deeply personal journey about anger, grief, and missing his son. He opens up about the invisible weight he carries—how, on the outside, you might not see the pain etched into his heart, but it's always there, shaping his days. Mike's story is a raw, emotional exploration of love, loss, and the resilience it takes to move forward. Through our conversation, we unpack the layers of his grief, understanding how it intertwines with hope and the belief in eventual reunion. As part of this episode, I wrote a poem titled Tomorrow, inspired by Mike's experience. It captures the enduring love of a father for his son, the ache of absence, and the unwavering hope for a reunion. Join me as I try on Mike's shoes.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I'll think of you just like today,
With echoes of laughter that never fade away.
Your name is carved deep within my chest,
A sacred place where my heart finds rest.

Tomorrow, I'll stand by the door you once passed,
Holding onto memories I pray will last.
Not out of anger, not out of blame,
But love unshaken, still burning the same.

Tomorrow, I'll sit in the room made for you,
Though you've never seen it, it's always felt true.
Walls whispering stories we never got through,
Pillow untouched, sheets still neat,
But in my dreams, I hear your feet.

Tomorrow, I'll feel the ache in my chest,
Missing your voice, your smile, your jest.
Yet hope's gentle whisper calls out to say,
There will come our Reunion Day.

Tomorrow, I'll trace the stars in the sky,
Imagining you're under the same, close by.
Though miles may stretch and time may roam,
You’ve never left the heart you call home.

Tomorrow, I'll believe in the thread unseen,
Tied between hearts, strong and keen.
No distance can break, no silence can sway,
The love that grows stronger every day.

Tomorrow, I'll wait with arms open wide,
No shadow of anger, just warmth inside.
For deep down I know, come what may,
We’ll find each other on that bright Reunion Day.

Tomorrow, and every day until then,
I'll carry you softly, again and again.
Not with sorrow, not with dismay—
But with the hope of our tomorrow, lighting the way.

Tomorrow, and always, know this is true,
No words could measure how much I love you.

Takeaways from This Episode:

Grief can be hidden beneath the surface; you never know the pain someone carries.

The power of friendship and authentic conversations in healing.

How hope can coexist with grief, offering a light in the darkest moments.

Connect with Mike Oppenheim:
Listen to Coffin Talk wherever you get your podcasts.

Be A Buffalo

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jill Ogle, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 5 Feb 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Buffalos have a unique instinct when facing storms—they don’t run away like other animals; instead, they charge directly into the storm. By doing this, they minimize their time in harsh conditions and emerge stronger on the other side. In life, we are constantly faced with challenges, and just like the buffalo, we have a choice: we can run from adversity and prolong our struggles, or we can face difficulties head-on, knowing that growth lies beyond the storm. Jill Ogle, a guest on Other People's Shoes, shares this powerful message of transformation, encouraging others to embrace life’s storms rather than run from them. Like the buffalo running into the storm, you have the power to transform your current reality into one of harmony and success. We believe in the power of synchronicity and know that you have found us for a reason. When the student is ready, the teacher appears, and your time for transformation is now. Step into the storm with courage, embrace all that you are, and watch as you emerge stronger than ever. Join me I try on Jill's sandals.

Happy Sixth Birthday

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Welcome to a very special episode of Other People’s Shoes! Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate six incredible years of podcasting, over 300 episodes, and countless stories that have inspired, challenged, and encouraged us all. Thank you for walking alongside me on this journey—whether you’ve been here since day one or just laced up your shoes to join the adventure.

It’s not about the race; it’s about the journey.

Broken Warrior

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Lynda Hébert, Strong Sane & Sassy, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000

What comes to mind when you hear the word "yoga"? To be candid, my first thought is yoga pants—and pain. Okay, maybe sweat and a little smelliness, too.

💠

Yoga is so much more than that. Step into Other People’s Shoes and join me for an inspiring conversation with Lynda Hébert, a woman who truly embodies the strength, balance, and determination of the Warrior Pose (Virabhadrasana). Like the pose itself, which challenges us to find focus and resilience, Lynda’s journey has been one of perseverance and transformation.

Wait...

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Kim Patton, Nothing Wasted, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 1 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Welcome to Season 19 of Other People's Shoes titled "X-Ray."

💠

This season, I’m diving into the theme of X-Ray "sight beyond sight," exploring the unseen damage and resilience in our lives. It’s about uncovering what lies beneath the surface, understanding our struggles, and discovering the beauty in how God works through even the most challenging moments. As I embark on this journey, let these words resonate with you: "While I'm waiting, I will serve You. While I'm waiting, I will worship. While I'm waiting, I will not faint. I'll be running the race even while I wait." Today, I’m honored to welcome my guest, Kim Patton, author of the book Nothing Wasted: Struggling Well Through Difficult Seasons. Difficult seasons catch us off guard and make us feel like life won’t ever make sense again. On my worst days, it’s hard to believe that God will guide me through the mess. Even on my good days, when I feel I have done all the right things, I sometimes wonder: Why am I working this job? Am I making a difference? How do I know the way to go? Why can’t I seem to be content? In Nothing Wasted, Kim Patton takes us on a journey of hope and faith. She shows how we mature over time, how like fog dissipating, we begin to see how God gently leads us through each season of our lives. We may be struggling, but we are moving forward. My faith is not unseen. My moments are not wasted. All the pain that comes in these seasons does lead to a full, rich life, growing in relationship with God and with others. Kim’s story and insights are a powerful reminder that even when life is falling apart, God is still at work, weaving a story of redemption and purpose. Do you embrace difficult seasons and trust that nothing is wasted in God’s hands? Join me as I walk in Kim's shoes.

Christmas Shoebox

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Garrett Larghi, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:00:00 +0000

🎄 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.”

I Want A Horse

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Kim Tschirret, Hope Reins, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 08:00:00 +0000

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!

It's A Wonderful Life Sort Of...

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (John David Graham, Good Samaritan Home, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 08:00:00 +0000

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.

Living Grace

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jennifer Sakata, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 4 Dec 2024 08:00:00 +0000

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.

Happiness At Home

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dannie De Novo, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 08:00:00 +0000

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.

Just Kickin' It

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Noah Burnette, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 08:00:00 +0000

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.

Remodeling The Room

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 6 Nov 2024 10:05:07 +0000

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.

Building A House

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.

Unpacking The Boxes

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Tammy Cox, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

The "Other" Home

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jenai Auman, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 9 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

Marks On The Wall

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Mark Collins, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 2 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

Lauren Burns was only seven years old when her world was turned upside down—her father took her from home, leaving her feeling lost and uncertain. But it was her mother’s unwavering faith that shone brightest during this dark time. Armed with a deep trust in God’s plan and an unshakable love for her daughter, Lauren’s mother embarked on a courageous mission to bring her home. 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. Today, Lauren’s story reflects not only the victory of a mother's love but also the profound influence her mother’s faith had on shaping her own, as they both leaned on divine guidance to overcome the unimaginable.

Music In The House

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Wilkes Music, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

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.

Miss Me...

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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"

Dear Shelly,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

Looking forward to next week as we conclude our season 17 called "Dear..."

Dear Mom,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Chelsea Ohlemiller, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

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.

Dear Memories,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 7 Aug 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Where were you on July 20, 1984? That was the day The movie "The NeverEnding Story" was released in the United States. My guest today is Nancy Bruscher. Nancy believes wholeheartedly in the fact that there is power in your story. The power of remembering and sharing your story lies in the profound connection it fosters between individuals and generations. Each person's life is a tapestry woven with experiences, lessons, and values that are uniquely theirs. These stories are not only a testament to their journey but also a beacon of wisdom and resilience for others. When we share our stories, we affirm our value and humanity, offering insights that can inspire, guide, and comfort us. Future generations, in particular, need to remember our family stories, for they are the custodians of our legacy. By preserving these narratives, they gain a deeper understanding of their roots, a sense of belonging, and the strength to navigate their own paths. In this way, our stories transcend time, becoming a vital thread in the fabric of our collective human experience. Join me as we walk in Nancy's sandals.

Dear Umbrella,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Noah Asher, Neil Mattews) — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Do you love the story of Winnie the Pooh? My favorite part is the image of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin walking with an umbrella is a powerful depiction of companionship and support. My guest today is Noah Asher. Noah talks about how as they stroll together, the umbrella shields them from the unpredictable elements, symbolizing the protective presence of friendship. Just as the umbrella guards them against the rain, having someone by our side can help us navigate the chaos of life. With its inherent ups and downs, this shared journey becomes more manageable when we have a trusted companion to lean on. The umbrella, much like a steadfast friend, provides comfort and reassurance, reminding us that we are never truly alone in facing life's storms. Join me as we walk in Noah's shoes.

Dear Miscarriage,

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

When was the last time you heard the phrase "I know how you feel" My guest today is Cate Purvis. Cate is here to share how she found the strength to get through her miscarriages. Miscarriage is a profoundly difficult experience for women to navigate alone due to the intense emotional, physical, and psychological toll it takes. The grief and sense of loss can be overwhelming, compounded by feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy, even though these feelings are unfounded. Physically, the body undergoes significant changes, and the recovery process can be painful and exhausting. The emotional turmoil can lead to depression, anxiety, and isolation, especially if societal stigmas or lack of understanding prevent open conversations about the loss. The support of loved ones, friends, and professionals is crucial in providing the emotional comfort, validation, and care needed to help women heal and process their grief. Join me as I walk in Cate's shoes.

Dear Law Enforcement,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jared Altic, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Take a moment and think about your worst day. Perhaps it was the day you dumped coffee all over yourself right before you walked into work? Maybe it was the day your baby pooped all over your brand-new pants? Or maybe it was a very sad day when a loved one died? All these examples seem dire and even awful. Did your worst day involve your job? I believe one of the hardest jobs is law enforcement. My guest today is Jared Altic. Jared has dedicated his life's work to helping law enforcement. Being in law enforcement is fraught with dangers, making it one of the most dangerous professions. Officers regularly face life-threatening situations, from confronting armed suspects to navigating high-speed pursuits. The risk of physical harm is ever-present, whether during routine traffic stops, domestic disputes, or responding to active crime scenes. Additionally, law enforcement personnel are often targets of violence and may suffer from psychological stress due to the high-stakes nature of their work. The constant exposure to danger and traumatic events can lead to long-term mental health issues, such as PTSD. Despite rigorous training and protective measures, the unpredictable nature of their duties means that law enforcement officers must always remain vigilant, underscoring the significant risks they endure to ensure public safety. Join me as I walk in Jared's shoes.

Dear Ladies

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Julie Sunnie, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

When is it okay to be angry at God? Is there ever a time you have found yourself in that spot? My guest today is Julie Sunne. You would like by Julie's name that never rains or Julie has never had a bad day. We all know that is completely preposterous. Recovering from five miscarriages and four live births involves a multifaceted approach addressing both emotional and physical well-being. Emotionally, it is essential to seek support from loved ones, therapists, or support groups to navigate the grief and complex emotions associated with loss. Engaging in activities that promote mental health, such as journaling, meditation, or creative pursuits, can also be beneficial. Physically, it is important to work with healthcare providers to ensure proper recovery and address any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to pregnancy loss. Regular check-ups, a balanced diet, exercise, and possibly fertility treatments or interventions might be part of the physical recovery process. Emphasizing self-care, setting realistic expectations, and allowing time for healing are crucial for regaining balance and moving forward. Join me as we delicately walk in Julie's shoes.

Dear Dad,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Tim Stearns, Neil Mattews) — Wed, 3 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Who is the hardest person to believe and trust? My guest today is Tim Stearns. I am guessing his name isn't jumping out to you? Oh wait, wasn't he in that movie "My Blue Heaven" that great 1990 film? Fun fact he was. Sort of...Tim is here to read his letter to Bob his Step-Father that became so much more. Having an earthly father provides invaluable guidance, support, and love, serving as a foundational pillar in one's life. A father shapes a child's understanding of strength, compassion, and responsibility, helping to navigate the complexities of the world. Equally vital, however, is the relationship with our Heavenly Father. Knowing God and putting faith and trust in Jesus Christ is paramount, as He offers the ultimate salvation from sin. Jesus’ sacrifice and teachings provide a path to eternal life, peace, and a profound sense of purpose. Embracing this divine relationship enriches our lives, offering hope and an unshakeable foundation that transcends earthly challenges. Join me as I walk in Tim's shoes.

Dear Teenagers,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Keri Cooper, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

How do you create a safe space for young people in your life? My guest today is Keri Cooper, LCSW NBCCH. Keri specializes in Holistic Therapy for Teens and Adolescents. Most of us know this right? Teenagers today often struggle to find a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings, a challenge exacerbated by societal pressures, social media scrutiny, and academic stress. Without a supportive environment where they can openly share their emotions without fear of judgment or ridicule, many teens internalize their struggles, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation. Are you creating a safe space for teenagers? Having a safe space is incredibly valuable as it allows teenagers to explore and understand their emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build resilience. This nurturing environment fosters open communication, encourages self-expression, and promotes mental well-being, ultimately helping teens navigate the complexities of adolescence with confidence and support. Join me as I walk in Keri's shoes.

Dear Sean,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (David Hollenbach, Fireproof, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

What do you think about having a brother? The great value in having a brother lies in the unique and irreplaceable bond that offers a blend of companionship, support and shared history. My guest today is David Hollenbach. David shares, a brother often serves as a lifelong friend, confidant, and ally, providing a sense of security and belonging. This relationship is marked by mutual understanding and loyalty, cultivated through shared experiences and memories. A brother's presence means having someone who genuinely understands your background and can offer perspective and advice with empathy. In times of joy and hardship alike, a brother's support is steadfast, making the journey of life richer and more meaningful. However, what do you do if that brother is now gone? Brotherly love is a profound and enduring bond that enriches life with a sense of security, understanding, and companionship. Having a brother who loves and cares for you is invaluable; it means always having someone in your corner, ready to support you through life's challenges and celebrate your successes. This unique relationship is marked by a blend of camaraderie and loyalty, where shared memories and mutual respect foster a deep connection. A loving brother provides not only emotional support but also a sense of belonging and continuity, making life's journey more meaningful and joyful. Join me as we walk in David's shoes.

Dear Gina,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Erin Whalen, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

What do you do when facing something hard? Do you run from it or charge after the challenge ahead of you? Today my guest is Erin Whalen. Erin shares a very vulnerable letter and the thought process behind writing it. Writing a letter to someone when it's tough can feel like navigating a maze of emotions, each turn laden with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved feelings. The act demands courage and honesty, as you grapple with the vulnerability of exposing your inner thoughts. Yet, as you pen down each word, there's a cathartic release, a sense of clarity that begins to emerge. The process, though challenging, becomes a journey of self-discovery and emotional release. When you finally seal the envelope, there's an undeniable power in knowing you've communicated something profound and true. It’s a testament to your resilience and connection with the recipient, making the effort worthwhile. Join me as we walk in Erin's shoes.

Dear Friends,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Aron Boesl, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 5 Jun 2024 07:00:00 +0000

What comes to mind when you hear or read Africa? Is it that great 80's classic by "Toto" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa. Or is it the people? My guest today is Aron Boesl, who has a calling to the people of Africa. Aron has a powerful reason why you should too. Africa, with its diverse population and vast landscape, faces significant healthcare challenges, including limited access to medical supplies and services. MESA (Medical Equipment Supplies and Aid Sharing) addresses these critical needs by gathering and distributing excess medical equipment and supplies to developing countries, ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most. By connecting donated medical resources to local organizations capable of dispensing and sustaining medical assistance, MESA plays a vital role in alleviating suffering and improving health outcomes. This mission is crucial in Africa, where the shortage of medical resources can mean the difference between life and death, and where timely support can empower communities to build stronger, healthier futures. Join me as walk-in Aron's shoes.

Dear Next Generation,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Don Mann, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 29 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Have you ever seen a US Flag draped over a coffin? Have you seen the Service personnel fold this flag? I believe this is still one of the most impactful moments of my life, watching this take place is powerful, and emotional. Who is this "next generation" to answer this call to defend and perhaps die for this country? My guest today is Don Mann. Don is a former U.S. Navy SEAL. The U.S. Navy SEALs, officially established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, evolved from the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) of World War II. These elite warriors were created to conduct unconventional warfare, specializing in direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and foreign internal defense. Being a U.S. patriot means embodying the values of courage, dedication, and selflessness, traits exemplified by the SEALs. It's crucial to strive to be stronger, faster, and smarter not just for personal growth, but to serve and protect the nation effectively. Individuals can contribute to a better society by doing something good for others, reflecting the SEALs' commitment to defending freedom and helping those in need. This ethos of continuous improvement and altruism strengthens individual capabilities and patriotism's collective spirit. Join me as we try on Don Mann's shoes.

When you think of the Northern Lights what comes to mind? My guest today is Amber Fuhriman. Amber writes a letter to her dad and shares why he made such an impact on her life. The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, paint the Arctic skies with a mesmerizing dance of vibrant colors. This celestial spectacle, resulting from charged particles from the sun colliding with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, creates a breathtaking display of swirling hues predominantly seen in regions near the North Pole. From emerald greens to vivid purples and shimmering blues, the auroras weave a tapestry of light against the dark canvas of the night sky, captivating observers with their ethereal beauty and mystical allure.

Where were you in 1985? The Judds were singing about an amazing Grandpa. "Grandpa Tell me 'bout the good old days Sometimes it feels like This world's gone crazy". My guest today is Matthew Thomas. Matt is in law enforcement. Matt's bond with his grandfather, a veteran of World War II, was profound and enduring. Through stories of courage and sacrifice, his grandfather instilled in him the significance of honor, duty, and integrity. Beyond recounting tales of battlefields, he imparted invaluable life lessons, emphasizing the weight of a handshake as a symbol of trust and respect. More than a gesture, it embodied the integrity and commitment Matt's grandfather lived by. Furthermore, he underscored the importance of service to others, illustrating how one's actions can make a difference in the lives of those around them. Matt's grandfather taught him about history and the essence of being a compassionate and conscientious individual, leaving an indelible mark on his character and values.

Dear Dads & Moms,

Wed, 8 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

What are the best two words in the English language? I believe the best two words are "next time". My guest today is Lee Ann Mancini. Lee Ann believes, that parents who choose not to raise their children in the Christian faith may miss out on its rich tapestry of values, traditions, and community. Christianity provides a moral compass and a purpose rooted in love, compassion, and service to others. By instilling these principles, parents can help guide their children through life's challenges and foster a deeper understanding of empathy and kindness. Additionally, the Christian community often provides a supportive network where families can find belonging and encouragement. While each family's beliefs and choices are deeply personal, embracing the teachings of Christianity can offer a profound source of guidance and fulfillment for both parents and children alike. Join me as we try on Lee Ann's Nike shoes.

Dear Carter & Adia,

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 1 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

When was the last time you received a handwritten letter in the mail? The act of writing a letter holds a profound power, transcending the limitations of time and space to forge connections and express sentiments with unmatched sincerity. In a world inundated with fleeting digital communications, a handwritten or thoughtfully composed letter bears a unique weight, echoing the depths of the writer's emotions and thoughts. It serves as a tangible testament to care, empathy, and authenticity, weaving together the threads of intimacy and understanding between sender and recipient. Through the deliberate choice of words and the personal touch of penmanship, a letter becomes a cherished keepsake, capable of evoking nostalgia and kindling the warmth of human connection even across vast distances. In its simplicity lies its potency—the power to heal wounds, mend relationships, celebrate joys, and offer solace in times of need. A letter is not merely ink on paper; it is a vessel of the heart, carrying the essence of its writer and fostering bonds that endure the test of time. Welcome to season 17 called "Dear..."

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Mark Delaney, Neil Matthews) — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 06:41:17 +0000

What is something you would never trade? My guest today is Trading Kryptonite for a cape is akin to exchanging weakness for strength, vulnerability for invincibility. Kryptonite, the infamous Achilles' heel of the legendary superhero, Superman, represents limitations and vulnerabilities. In contrast, a cape symbolizes power, freedom, and the ability to soar above obstacles. This metaphorical trade underscores the importance of embracing one's strengths and overcoming weaknesses. Learning to take flight, whether figuratively or literally, embodies the essence of self-discovery and personal growth. By mastering the art of flight, one transcends earthly constraints and taps into one's full potential, propelling oneself towards new heights of success and fulfillment. So, let go of the Kryptonite weighing you down and don the cape of courage and determination, for the sky is yours to conquer. Join me as I take flight with Mark Delaney.

Red Eye Announcement

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Ally Murphy, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 13:13:18 +0000

Imagine just for a second that old familiar sound of the chime, announcing an announcement from the pilot you're just about to drift to sleep, and then all of a sudden you're welcome to an announcement. I have also heard it said change cannot happen overnight, but if I could? What if you could get on a plane go to sleep and wake up a new person in a new destination? My guest today is Ally Murphy. A red-eye flight typically refers to an overnight flight that departs late at night and arrives early in the morning, often characterized by its departure and arrival times coinciding with most people's sleeping hours. These flights are favored by travelers looking to maximize their time at their destination, as they can avoid losing a full day to travel. However, "red-eye" originates from many passengers' tired, bloodshot eyes after a night of limited sleep onboard. Despite the discomfort of sleeping in cramped quarters, these flights can be convenient for business travelers and those seeking to make the most of their vacation days. Join me as we take flight with Ally Murphy.

2nd Seat

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Paul Roscoe White, Be 1 Change 1, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0000

There are no points for second place! Being the second seems to have a negative connotation. How does it feel to be in the second seat? Yet, within this role lies the invaluable lesson that failure is a remarkable teacher. Each attempt serves as a stepping stone towards mastery, with each setback offering a wealth of insight and experience. Embracing the challenges of this position means embracing the opportunity to learn, grow, and ultimately succeed. It's in the persistence through failures that true understanding is cultivated, refining one's skills and fortifying one's resolve.

Grounded By Grief?

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Peggy Green, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 13:19:49 +0000

When grief has you grounded, every step feels like walking through quicksand. The weight of loss becomes an invisible burden, dragging down your spirit and sapping your energy. Simple tasks become Herculean feats, and the world loses its vibrancy, painted instead in muted shades of sorrow. Time seems to stretch endlessly, each moment a painful reminder of the absence that looms large. Even the most well-meaning gestures offer little solace, as grief carves out its own lonely path within. In these moments, it's as if the very fabric of existence has been altered, leaving you stranded in a landscape of mourning, struggling to find your way back to solid ground. My guest today is Peggy Green. Peggy believes when grief has you grounded, a friend's lifesaver is a beacon of hope amidst the storm. Their gesture, whether a comforting word or a supportive embrace, offers a lifeline of connection in the midst of isolation. It's a reminder that I'm not alone in navigating the depths of sorrow and that there are hands reaching out to pull me back to the surface, reminding me that brighter days lie ahead. Join me as we take flight with Peggy.

Free To Fly

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Todd Boczkowski, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:23:35 +0000

What is the hardest thing you have ever done? How far down your list of hardest things is forgiving someone? I have heard it said, “Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” My guest today is Todd Boczkowski. Todd helps us take flight with a very story, and an even harder person to forgive. Forgiving someone is akin to releasing the weight of resentment and bitterness that has tethered you to the ground. It's an act of liberation, granting you the freedom to soar unencumbered by the burdens of past grievances. As a bird takes flight with newfound grace and ease, forgiving allows you to transcend the confines of hurt and anger, propelling you toward a brighter horizon. In forgiving, you reclaim control over your emotions and your narrative, opening up space for healing and growth. It's a powerful acknowledgment of your strength and resilience, enabling you to embrace life's journey with a lightness of being as if finally set free to explore the vast expanse of the sky. Join me as we take flight with Todd Boczkowski.

Baggage

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 6 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Have you ever seen this person? They were just out of line suitcases opened wide and trying to decide what to take out of their bag to make it make the weight limit. Usually, there is anger, frustration, and maybe even tears trying to make it work. My guest today is Maurice F. Martin. Maurice, wants you to know that you don't have to carry that extra weight any longer. Your baggage weight limit of 50 pounds when flying is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures the safety and efficiency of the aircraft. Exceeding weight limits can strain the plane's structure and compromise its aerodynamics, potentially leading to safety hazards. Additionally, weight restrictions are in place to maintain fuel efficiency. Carrying excess weight requires more fuel consumption, contributing to environmental impact and operational costs. Moreover, adhering to baggage weight limits allows airlines to fairly distribute weight among passengers, ensuring a comfortable and equitable flying experience for all. So, while it may seem like a hassle, keeping your baggage under 50 pounds is essential for air travel safety, and efficiency. Join me as we take flight with Maurice.

Empty Seat

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Judi Merriam, Neil Mathews) — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Losing a child is an unimaginable tragedy that leaves an indelible mark on a parent's heart. The grief that follows is a heavy burden, one that seems impossible to bear. Each day becomes a struggle, filled with moments of overwhelming sadness and longing for the child who is no longer there. It's like navigating through an endless maze of emotions, where even the smallest memories or reminders can trigger waves of pain. The loss is profound and profound, a wound that never fully heals, no matter how much time passes. Parents often find themselves grappling with feelings of guilt, questioning what they could have done differently, and grappling with the unfairness of it all. Moving forward feels like an insurmountable task, as the void left by their child's absence looms large in their lives. It's a journey fraught with setbacks and moments of despair, yet amidst the darkness, there remains a glimmer of hope that one day, they may find a way to carry on, honoring the memory of their beloved child while learning to live with the pain of their loss. My guest today is Judi Merriam. Judi today shares about the "empty seat" and the "empty shoes by the door". Listen as we "take flight" with Judi Merriam

👟

In a room of quiet solitude, a seat stands bare,

Echoes of laughter fade into the air.

Beside it, shoes lie in silent repose,

A story untold, a journey that closed.

The empty seat, a void profound,

Where once a presence, now not found.

Its arms outstretched, a welcoming embrace,

Now untouched, a solitary space.

The shoes they wore, now still and alone,

A silent testament to journeys known.

Each scuff, each mark, a tale to tell,

Of paths traversed and memories dwell.

Yet now they rest, devoid of tread,

A testament to the words unsaid.

The missing place they once fulfilled,

Now empty, the void left unfilled.

But though they're gone, their essence remains,

In memories cherished, in heart's refrains.

For in the empty seat and shoes left behind,

Their spirit lingers, a treasure to find.

So let us honor the ones we miss,

In the empty seat, in the shoes like this.

For though they're gone, their presence we feel,

In every memory, ever real.

My Call Sign?

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Ryan Maye, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 7 Feb 2024 08:00:00 +0000

“It’s the way he flies, ice cold, no mistakes. He just wears you down. You get bored, frustrated, do something stupid, and he’s gotcha.” The quote from "Top Gun" and "Goose" Portrayed by Anthony Edwards is about Val Kilmer's character. My guest today is Ryan Mayer. Ryan is NOT a doctor or a naval aviator. However, Ryan is here to share his expertise on ADHD, as he is a coach and deals with it himself.

Flat Spin

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Zack Blakeney, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

What is your least favorite scene from Top Gun? Mine is when Maverick and Goose are in the flat spin. Spoiler alert! Goose dies as a result of the flat spin. My guest Zack Blakeney talks today about the most dangerous type of flat spin...Porn. A flat spin in aviation is a dangerous state in which an aircraft enters a spin while maintaining a nearly level pitch attitude. Unlike conventional spins where the aircraft descends in a more predictable nose-down or nose-up orientation, a flat spin involves a rotation around the vertical axis while keeping the wings relatively level. This type of spin is particularly challenging for pilots to recover from because the standard spin recovery techniques may be less effective. Flat spins can be initiated by inappropriate control inputs, uncoordinated flight, or other aerodynamic disturbances that upset the balance of forces acting on the aircraft. Recognizing and preventing flat spins are crucial aspects of pilot training and recovery procedures vary depending on the specific characteristics of the aircraft involved. Join me as Zack shows us how to take flight from porn.

The Monster In The Headphones

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Marin Canaday, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

In this powerful episode, my heart breaks for my guest Marin Canaday. She has struggled with OCD. Today she bravely tells how it has affected her life. Today, I also share this powerful poem to help you understand Marin's story.

👟

In the realm of sound, a monster lurks,

Within your headphones, it slyly works.

A cacophony of chaos it weaves,

Disturbing peace, like autumn leaves.

👟

In whispers, it hisses, a spectral wail,

A creature born in the audio trail.

But fear not, for within you lies,

The power to silence its haunting cries.

👟

Invoke the strength of the divine,

Let the grace of God brightly shine.

With faith as your shield, strong and true,

The monster's grip will start to undo.

👟

Turn your thoughts to the sacred hymns,

Let the melodies drown the monster's sins.

In prayer and peace, find your repose,

As the divine symphony steadily grows.

👟

With every verse, with every psalm,

Banish the monster, reclaim your calm.

For in the quietude of spiritual might,

The beast in your headphones takes its flight.

👟

Trust in God's grace, let serenity reign,

As the monster fades, like shadows wane.

In the sacred silence, find your retreat,

And in the stillness, victory is sweet.

One Plus Two Equals Awesome

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Cam F Awesome, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 22:44:42 +0000

While some individuals effortlessly navigate the intricate world of mathematics, I find myself grappling with its complexities. The abstract nature of mathematical concepts often eludes my grasp, leaving me feeling like a fish out of water in the numerical realm. Equations and theorems become a labyrinth of confusion, and the elusive understanding of mathematical principles remains just out of reach. Despite earnest efforts to decipher the language of numbers, my brain seems to resist the logical structures that define the mathematical landscape. However, acknowledging my struggle with math does not diminish my strengths in other areas. Each individual possesses a unique set of skills, and while mathematical prowess may not be my forte, I thrive in other intellectual and creative domains where my talents shine brightly.

Adventures in Flight

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Vincent Aiello, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 3 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

The inaugural flight marks an indelible moment in human history, a culmination of innovation, ambition, and relentless determination. On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieved the impossible—their Wright Flyer, a fragile yet revolutionary aircraft, took to the skies near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In that fleeting span of twelve seconds, humanity's perception of the world altered irreversibly. The rickety contraption defied gravity's grasp, lifting off the ground and carrying the weight of human aspiration. The first flight was a testament to human ingenuity and the unwavering pursuit of the impossible. It was a catalyst that sparked the aviation era, reshaping how we traverse distances and expanding our understanding of what lies beyond earthly bounds. This inaugural flight remains an everlasting testament to the audacity of dreams and the relentless pursuit of exploration that continues to propel humanity forward. As we "Take Flight" into season 16. We get a in the cockpit view from a former Naval Aviator Vincent Aiello, callsign "Jell-O". Join me as we fly in Vincent shoes.

Season Finale | The Knuckleball Pitch

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000

In our Season Finale "The Knuckleball Pitch" we lace up our baseball spikes with former Major League Baseball pitcher Brandon Puffer. One of Brandon's favorite pitches was the knuckleball. Hitting a knuckleball pitch in baseball is an extraordinary challenge that confounds even the most seasoned batters. Unlike traditional pitches that follow a predictable trajectory, the knuckleball's erratic and unpredictable movement makes it a daunting task to connect bat to ball. This pitch is thrown with minimal spin, causing it to flutter, wobble, and change direction seemingly at random as it approaches the plate. Its unpredictable nature defies conventional hitting strategies, leaving batters baffled as they try to gauge its path. The absence of rotation prevents the ball from following a predictable arc, making timing and judgment incredibly difficult. It demands exceptional focus, patience, and an almost instinctual response from the batter, as any misjudgment or mistimed swing can result in a complete miss. Facing a proficient knuckleballer is a formidable test of a batter's skill and adaptability, often leading to frustration and admiration for this enigmatic pitch. The description of a knuckleball pitch is a great metaphor, for Brandon's life. Join me as we walk in Brandon's shoes.

The power of remembering is a profound force that transcends time, weaving the threads of our past into the tapestry of our present. It's a gateway to treasured moments, a repository of experiences, emotions, and lessons learned. Memories act as guiding lights, illuminating our path forward while anchoring us to the richness of our personal history. They are the storytellers of our lives, shaping our identities, influencing decisions, and fostering connections with others. Remembering not only preserves the essence of who we are but also provides a sense of continuity and belonging in a constantly changing world. It empowers us to celebrate joys, navigate challenges, and honor the legacies of those who have shaped us, fostering resilience and gratitude in our journey through life. Join me as Garrett and I walk back over this last year. What do the AVIA shoes have to do with this episode?

Will He Heal?

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Karis Meier, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Even if God never heals me, my love and devotion to Him remain unwavering. I believe that faith transcends the boundaries of our physical well-being. While I may yearn for healing and relief from my burdens, I understand that God's plan may not align with my desires. Nevertheless, I will continue to serve Him, for my love for God is not contingent upon receiving miracles or answers to my prayers. In the face of adversity, my faith grows stronger, and I find solace in the knowledge that His grace and purpose extend far beyond the limitations of my understanding. I will serve God with a grateful heart, trusting that His love and guidance are constants in my life, regardless of the trials I face. My guest today is Karis Meier. After hearing her story come back a reread this above statement. Is this true of you? Could you? Would you, still love even if He doesn't heal you? Join me as we try on Karis Nike shoes.

Take A Deep Breath

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews, Jodi Howe, The Air That I Breathe) — Wed, 6 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Would you be willing to take a deep breath with me right now? Let's do it on a count of three, One, Two, three...inhale...exhale.Taking a deep breath holds immense value in our daily lives, as a fundamental tool for enhancing mental and physical well-being. My guest today is Jodi Howe. One of my favorite people I have met podcasting. Jodi has released her new book. Jodi tells us that inhaling deeply allows the body to absorb more oxygen, aiding in the release of tension and stress. Breathing deeply can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and increase clarity of thought. Furthermore, breathing in fresh air is essential as it provides a surge of clean oxygen to our bodies, improving lung function and overall health. Fresh air contains higher levels of oxygen that help to revitalize cells and increase energy levels. It also aids in removing airborne toxins from our system, boosting immunity, and promoting better sleep. Ultimately, embracing deep breaths and seeking fresh air rejuvenates not just our bodies, but also our minds, fostering a sense of vitality and renewal in our daily lives. Join me as I walk in Jodi's shoes.

The Truth Or A Lie

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 08:00:00 +0000

How do you feel when you pick up a quarter? When you examine it there are two sides, right? A truth side and a lie side. Which one will you believe? My guest today is Rodney Cox. Rodney is here to share how you can begin right now "Leading From Your Strengths". He also shares, that truth is a resolute beacon, an unwavering guide that illuminates the path of honesty and integrity. It stands tall, unyielding against the tides of falsehoods and deceit that seek to obscure its brilliance. Like a steadfast sentinel, truth transcends time, resonating in the hearts of those who embrace its pure essence. It is the cornerstone of trust, the bedrock upon which genuine connections and understanding flourish. In its simplicity lies a profound power, shaping narratives, and unveiling the authenticity within the fabric of existence. To deny truth is to shroud oneself in a veil of deception, a fabric spun from half-truths and illusions that obscure the clarity of genuine understanding. Join me as I walk in Rodney's wide shoes.

The Root Of The Matter

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jodi Rosser, Depth Podcast, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 08:00:00 +0000

What comes to mind you you read "grow where you are planted"? In California, there are some massive trees called Sequoia. The roots of Sequoia trees in California are as fascinating as the towering giants they support above ground. Despite their immense height, these trees have surprisingly shallow root systems, typically extending only about 6 to 12 feet deep but spreading widely, often reaching up to 100 feet or more from the base of the tree. The roots of Sequoias play a crucial role in anchoring these colossal trees and providing stability against strong winds. They intertwine with neighboring trees, creating a network that helps them withstand storms and stand firm against natural elements. Remarkably, these trees have evolved to thrive in the Sierra Nevada's nutrient-poor, rocky soils by developing a shallow, broad root system that enables them to access water and nutrients from a vast area to sustain their massive size and longevity. My guest today is Jodi Snowdon is here to share why deep roots matter. Join me as we talk in Jodi's flip-flops

The Call

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dan Scott, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 08:00:00 +0000

The phrase "you make the call" is an idiomatic expression that means it's up to you to make a decision or judgment in a particular situation. It is often used when there's a need for someone to take responsibility for a choice or action. In essence, it is putting the decision-making authority in the hands of the person being addressed. This phrase is commonly used in various contexts, such as in sports when referees or officials need to make a decision, or in everyday situations where someone needs to make a choice or judgment. My guest today is Dan Scott currently serves as the Director of Broadcasting at Furman University, where he serves as the play-by-play voice of Paladin football and men’s basketball.

I Want To Be A Real Real Person

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Alice Mills, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 8 Nov 2023 08:00:00 +0000

What did you feel when you watched the scene in Pinocchio, where all he wants is to be real? My guest today is Alice Millis. Is all about authenticity. Alice takes us on a journey few want to talk about. Why did she choose to leave her narcissistic husband? For Alice being a real person means embracing authenticity and genuineness in all aspects of one's life. It involves being true to oneself, with both strengths and vulnerabilities and not succumbing to pretense or societal pressures. Real people are honest, compassionate, and empathetic, valuing their relationships and connections with others. They acknowledge their imperfections and continuously strive for personal growth and self-awareness. Being a real person is about living a life that aligns with one's values and principles, standing up for what one believes in, and making a positive impact on the world through their actions and interactions with others. It's a commitment to being the best version of oneself while respecting the uniqueness of others. Join me as I try on Alice Hoka's shoes.

When four friends get together, anything can happen.

In the tapestry of life, woven strong and true,

Three friends stand out, a radiant, cherished crew.

Each unique, a gift, in their own special way,

Together, we bask in the warmth of each day.

👟

First, there's the one with a mind so bright,

With wisdom and knowledge, a guiding light.

Their intellect soars, like a brilliant star,

In their presence, we all learn and go far.

👟

Then comes the friend who's a boundless delight,

A joyous spirit, a beacon of light.

Their laughter contagious, their heart so free,

With them, we find happiness, pure and carefree.

👟

Last but not least, the one with a voice like an angel,

A seraphic melody, enchanting and ethereal.

Their songs lift us up to heavenly heights,

In their harmonious tunes, our hearts take flight.

Together, we journey through life's endless maze,

Through highs and lows, in a loving embrace.

Smart, joyful, and with voices that sing,

You are my three best friends, to you, I cling.

👟

In the symphony of friendship, you're the key,

With intelligence, joy, and serenity, we shall forever be.

Through every season, through thick and thin,

With you, my dear friends, our hearts will always win.

Mirror On The Wall

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Bekah George, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Mirror on the wall, I turn away from your harsh truths I won't betray. I fear the judgment in your glassy gaze, the flaws you magnify, the doubts you raise. I know within, imperfections dwell, but in your reflection, they loudly swell. I long for moments without your call, to escape the judgment of the mirror on the wall. In the quiet shadows, I find my peace, where self-worth isn't bound by your ceaseless tease. Mirror on the wall, I'll choose to be free, from your relentless scrutiny, let my spirit flee. My guest today is Bekah George. Bekah is here today to say you can be so much more.

Mark Wills a Country singer years ago sang:

Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
'Cause in God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me...

Yes, Man

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:00:00 +0000

The power of saying "Yes" lies in its ability to open doors to uncharted territories and unleash the boundless potential within us. It is a catalyst for personal growth, a key that unlocks new experiences, and a bridge to meaningful connections. When we say "Yes," we embrace change, challenge our comfort zones, and welcome the unknown with open arms. Saying "Yes" is an affirmation of life, a declaration that we are ready to explore, learn, and evolve. It is through this simple yet profound word that we discover the richness of existence, for in those moments of affirmative choice, we manifest our aspirations and give ourselves permission to thrive. My guest today is Paul Hollis. Paul shares incredible journeys through life. Taking us on a winding road through history. Join me as I walk in Paul's shoes.

Fixing Your Want To

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Wendy Wallace, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 13 Sep 2023 07:00:00 +0000

"What style of shoe do you like to wear?" This is a common question we start every show with. Well, today my guest is Wendy Wallace. Wendy gives a very unique answer. Back in 2011, Wendy contracted a flesh-eating bacteria. What started as flu symptoms, progressed into a life-threatening illness within three days. The doctors told her husband and kids that I had less than a 1% chance of survival and to plan for her passing. Wendy's husband's reply was, “You don’t know my God and what He can do!” Her family never lost faith. Word spread and hundreds of people prayed. God saved her life. After three weeks in a medically-induced coma and three months in the hospital, she came home to a new way of living. Her family loved, supported, and cared for me. Stop letting your challenges derail your faith! Join me as we try our best to keep up with Wendy.

Other Side of the Coin

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Paul DeArment, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 9 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0000

The phrase "the other side of the coin" is an idiomatic expression that refers to a different perspective or aspect of a situation, issue, or concept. Just like a coin has two sides, this expression suggests that there are two contrasting viewpoints or facets to consider. It implies that one should examine both sides in order to gain a more complete understanding of the matter at hand. This phrase is often used to emphasize the complexity and multifaceted nature of various topics, encouraging individuals to look beyond a single viewpoint and consider the broader context.

Very Angry Indeed

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Natalie Hixson, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 2 Aug 2023 07:00:00 +0000

One of my favorite cartoon characters is Marvin the Martian. He has a quote "That makes me very angry, very angry indeed". Anger is a normal and natural emotion experienced by all humans at some point in their lives. It is often triggered by feeling frustrated, threatened, or hurt in some way. Anger can serve as a protective mechanism and can even be a motivating force for change. However, it's essential to understand and manage anger constructively to prevent it from causing harm to yourself or others. Today Natalie Hixson stops by to share with us how she as a mom handles anger. This is a very challenging episode if you or a friend has ever struggled with anger. Join me as we walk in Natalie's "Kizik" shoes

Finally Unmasked

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Getzlow, Unmasked, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0000

When is the last time you heard "I forgive you"? I forgive you. Three simple words. Life changing? More like life-saving. My guest today is Neil Getzlow, Author of "Unmasked" Neil talks about the power of forgiveness and unconditional love is life-changing. For Neil, it goes back to that life-changing moment at the start of his journey in April 2020 when God helped him unmask all of his sins to Amy Neil's wife. He shares how nobody ever signs up to tell a story like this. Quite the opposite actually. He thinks a lot of people are addicted to porn, sex, drugs, booze, or whatever their vice of choice is, do exactly what he did: Spend years and years of energy trying to stuff their sins deep inside so they would never get out. Neil's mask was on so tight that he didn’t take it off for anyone. There was nobody in the world he was living in that knew what was behind his mask. Nobody. He was alone and trapped in his own sin. Fortunately, God had other plans for him. Those plans included repenting his sins and confessing every aspect of his illicit life to God and to his wife. Yet despite the pain he caused, and repeatedly turning away from God. God was still there waiting for him with open arms. He never thought that would be possible until Amy showed him what Godly forgiveness really looks like. Join me as we try on Neil's size 11 shoes.

That Is A Stupid Thing To Do

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Sean McCoy, Neil Matthews, Come To The Table) — Wed, 5 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0000

**** DISCLAIMER PLEASE DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP FIRST. ****

A few months back a very good friend, who I believe is one of the smartest people I have interacted with Sean McCoy. Shared with me that he had taken Magic Mushrooms. My first reaction was "That has to be the dumbest thing you have ever done." "Why?" After all Magic Mushrooms also known as psilocybin mushrooms, contain a naturally occurring psychoactive compound called psilocybin. When ingested, psilocybin is converted into psilocin in the body, which interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, resulting in various psychological effects. Here are some general effects and experiences associated with taking magic mushrooms. Altered Perception, Visual and Sensory Distortions, Emotional Effects, Altered Thinking and Perception of Time, Spiritual and Mystical Experiences, Introspection and Personal Insights, and Physiological Effects. It's worth noting that the effects of magic mushrooms can vary widely depending on factors such as dosage, individual sensitivity, mindset, environment, and the presence of any underlying mental health conditions. If considering using magic mushrooms, it is important to approach them with caution, in a safe and supportive environment, and ideally under the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable individual. Additionally, it's crucial to be aware of the legal status of magic mushrooms in your country or region, as they may be illegal in many places. Join me as I try on Sean McCoy's Xero shoes.

Transcend Beyond The Mask

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Catherine Llewellyn, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 07:25:13 +0000

How would you define the word transcend? One definition is to go further, rise above, or be more important or better than something, especially a limit: My guest today is Catherine Llewellyn. To transcend beyond the mask means to go beyond the superficial or false identity that one may wear to conform to societal expectations or to hide their true self. It involves breaking free from the limitations imposed by external perceptions and embracing one's authentic self at a deeper level. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and inner transformation, where one strives to live in alignment with their true values, passions, and purpose. Transcending beyond the mask involves embracing vulnerability, accepting imperfections, and stepping into a state of authenticity and self-acceptance, allowing one to live a more fulfilling and genuine life. Join me as I try on Cathrine's very green flat shoes.

They often have an intense desire for admiration and attention and may display arrogant or entitled behaviors.

Decoding The Mask

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Dr. Sarah Hensley, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 31 May 2023 13:58:22 +0000

How amazing would life be if you had a secret decoder ring? Secret decoder rings have been popularized in various forms of media, such as books, comics, or movies, often used by fictional spies or secret agents. They add an element of mystery and intrigue, allowing individuals to engage in code-breaking activities and solve puzzles. Sadly it is just make-believe. However, my guest today Dr. Sarah Hensley is here to help us with decoding the mask we may be wearing. In order to do that one must attempt to look beyond the surface-level presentation and delve into the deeper emotions or thoughts that someone might be concealing. It can involve empathy, intuition, and careful observation to uncover the genuine meaning behind someone's behavior, allowing for a better understanding of their true intentions or emotional state. Join me as I try on Dr. Sarah's flip-flops.

Swept Up

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Matt Garnier, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 24 May 2023 07:44:19 +0000

The term "swept up" typically refers to a state of being carried away or caught up in a strong, powerful, or overwhelming emotion, experience, or situation. It implies a feeling of being engulfed or overwhelmed by something, often in a figurative sense. It can describe being captivated, enchanted, or deeply affected by a particular event, feeling, or circumstance that leaves a significant impact. It can also refer to being caught up in a wave of enthusiasm, excitement, or fervor that carries one along. Overall, being "swept up" suggests a sense of being emotionally or mentally transported beyond one's usual state. My guest today is Matt Garnier. Matt wrote a book called "Swept Up". Today we discuss elements of the books and have a very exciting back-and-forth conversation. Join me as I try on Matt Garnier's Goodfellow shoes

Agree To Disagree

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Brain Nietzel, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 17 May 2023 12:48:50 +0000

To "agree to disagree" is a phrase used when two or more individuals hold different opinions or viewpoints on a particular topic, and they decide to end the discussion or argument without trying to convince each other to change their stance. It acknowledges the existence of a fundamental disagreement while emphasizing mutual respect and the willingness to move past the disagreement without harboring ill feelings or prolonging an unproductive debate. My guest today is Brain Nietzel. Brian today shares about one of today’s most divisive, hot-button topics—Christianity and the LGBTQ+ community—extreme voices seem to lead the conversation. Yet as you look to the quieter middle, where most of us live, you will find a more constructive and hopeful narrative playing out in the church. Since “coming out” 15 years ago as a gay man committed to his faith in Jesus, Brian has consulted with evangelical churches big and small to help advance the more productive conversation. He knows the tension of reconciling long-held beliefs with compassion for LGBTQ+ loved ones. From his vantage, many leaders are braving that journey, and rethinking their responsibility to LGBTQ+ individuals in and outside their congregation. Join me as I try on Brian's Italian shoes.

UFO Or God

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Chris Bledsoe, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 3 May 2023 12:55:48 +0000

Are UFOs real? IF so where do they come from? My guest today is Chris Bledsoe. Chris is a deeply religious family man and successful business owner from North Carolina who was on the verge of the unthinkable after losing everything in the 2007 financial crisis and suffering from a debilitating chronic disease. Fishing along the banks of the Cape Fear River with three co-workers and his teenage son, he walks away from the group and cries out to God in desperate prayer for help. Suddenly, a UFO appears and saves his life and cures him of his illness. Experiencing four hours of missing time, he returns to his group to find them dismayed. Terrified, they run for their lives as several UFOs chase them home. Join me as I try on Chris's orthopedic shoes.

She bought some fantastic content that you can take part in. I wrote this amazing poem to share my love for her. Enjoy as I take a walk in her "Hey Dudes".

For 21 years my love has grown,

As strong as the roots of a tree,

Through laughter, tears, and joys unknown,

You've been my constant company.

You make my heart skip a beat,

With just a single smile,

And in your presence, life feels complete,

I'm grateful for every mile.

We've traveled through the ups and downs,

Together, side by side,

And in your arms, I've found,

A haven where I can hide.

You're the sunshine in my day,

The moonlight in my night,

And in your love, I'll forever stay,

Until the end of time's great flight.

So here's a poem for the love of my life,

21 years strong and true,

May our love continue to thrive,

And always remain forever new.

25 Percent

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Barbara Sloan, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 14:10:46 +0000

Have you ever really put yourself in the shoes of the waitress or waiter the last time you were out to eat? The question always seems to come up. Should I tip should I not tip? My guest today is Barbara Slona. Barbara is here to share why tipping is so important and it is the most in our world today. Tipping someone is an expression of appreciation or gratitude for the service provided. It is a way to acknowledge the effort and hard work the service provider put in and show that you value their work. Tipping can also serve as a motivator for the service provider to continue providing excellent service. It can be a way to build rapport with the service provider, and in some cultures, it is considered a social norm or expectation Furthermore, tipping can have a positive impact on the economy as a whole. It can create jobs, increase wages for service providers, and boost consumer spending. In some industries, service providers rely heavily on tips to make a living, creating an unfair and unpredictable system. Employers should ensure that their workers receive fair wages and benefits. Join me as I try on very comfortable shoes.

The Folded Flag

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Eric Herrera, Neil Matthews) — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 04:21:02 +0000

Have you ever watched a Service member fold our great flag? The US folded flag symbolizes honor, respect, and sacrifice for those who have served their country in the armed forces. The folding of the flag is a solemn and meaningful tradition that dates back to the early days of the United States. The flag-folding ceremony is a custom that involves two or more uniformed military members carefully folding the flag, with each fold holding a specific symbolic meaning. The folded flag is presented to the next of kin or an appropriate representative at a funeral or other military ceremony, along with a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the service and sacrifice of the deceased. The triangular shape of the folded flag is said to represent the tri-corner hat worn by the Continental Army during the American Revolution, as well as the shape of the folded flag carried by soldiers and sailors during the Civil War. Each of the 13 folds of the flag holds a specific symbolic meaning, representing the values and beliefs held by the American people. The first fold represents life, the second fold represents a belief in eternal life, and the third fold represents honor and remembrance of the veterans who have served in defense of their country. The fourth fold represents trust in God, the fifth fold symbolizes gratefulness and thanks, and the sixth fold represents the dedication and devotion of the United States armed forces. The remaining folds represent tributes to the country, its people, and its history. Overall, the US folded flag is a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces and a reminder of the values and beliefs that are important to the American people.

The Real World

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Jethro Jones, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

When I wake up in the morning

And the alarm gives out a warning

And I don't think I'll ever make it on time

By the time I grab my books

And I give myself a look

I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by

It's alright 'coz I'm saved by the bell.

Does the bell really save us? My guest today is Jethro Jones, 2017 Digital Principal of the Year, a former principal and host of Transformative Principal, Cybertraps, and My Bonus Money podcasts. He is also the author of How to be a Transformative Principal and SchoolX: How principals can design a transformative school experience for students, teachers, parents – and themselves! Jethro currently consults schools and districts on redesign efforts that don't seem like another program. Jethro has worked as a principal at all K-12 levels, including a prison school, a district coach, a distance learning team lead (before the pandemic!), and an English teacher. Join me as I try on Jethro's very unique footwear.

Footprints Leave Marks

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Neil Matthews) — Wed, 8 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Footprints in the sand,

Leading to the unknown.

A trail of memories,

Of the places, we've grown.

👣

With each step we take,

Leaves a mark on the earth.

A reminder of our journey,

From the moment of our birth.

👣

Our footprints may fade,

But the memories remain.

Of the paths, we've walked,

And the stories that sustain them.

👣

So let us tread lightly,

And leave our mark with care.

For the footprints, we leave,

Are the legacy we share.

👣

Happy Birthday Other People's Shoes

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 08:00:00 +0000

How much can a four-year-old really learn? Four-year-olds are beginning to develop the ability to understand and express empathy. They are starting to realize that other people have feelings similar to their own and can begin to recognize and label emotions in themselves and others. They may also start to show concern for others and may begin to, engage in simple acts of kindness or sharing. While four-year-olds are still developing their understanding of empathy, it is important to encourage and model empathetic behavior. This can include teaching them to identify and express their own emotions and listening actively and responding with empathy when others share their feelings. Additionally, age-appropriate books and stories can also be great tools to help children understand and practice empathy.

👟

Walking in Other People's Shoes is a metaphor that means trying to understand and empathize with someone else's perspective or experiences. By doing so, you can gain a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, and motivations. It allows you to see things from a different point of view and can help you to be more compassionate and empathetic toward others. It can also help you to gain a better understanding of different cultures, backgrounds, and lifestyles, which can broaden your perspective and help you to become more open-minded. Additionally, it can help you to identify and understand different forms of privilege and discrimination, and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.

Decisions That Hurt

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Aliscia Jacklyn, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 07:58:59 +0000

Can the decisions we make hurt us? Often times we think that walking away is only for our benefit of ourselves, however, in my guest's Aliscia Jacklyn case walking away was to ensure the safety and stability of my siblings. Ali thinks everyone can learn from that. Decisions to walk away do not have to have an outcome that benefits you. Now, when you walk away can you still make a choice to forgive even though the decisions hurt, can those decisions still bring healing? Join me as I try on Ali's Oofos sandals.

A Story In Every Seat

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (Stacy Leicht, Neil Matthews) — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0000

Remember musical chairs? You remember right? Play the music and have the players walk around the perimeter of the chair circle. When the music stops, everyone must immediately sit in a chair. The one person left standing is out. Seems kind of silly to bring this up. However, what if life is a lot like musical chairs someone is left out. My guest today is Stacy Leicht. Stacy has been a teacher for 25 years. She has taught elementary, and middle grades, and now is currently working at UNC-Greensboro in the Elementary Education department as a lecturer and supervisor to the junior and senior teams. As a teacher, she became very aware of the many students who did not have a hunger for reading. It became her goal to build a desire in children to want to read. She realized, it began with her as a reader. The students needed to see that she loved reading too, or they would not find a love for reading. Stacy is here to remind each of us that there truly is "A Story In Every Seat" you better hurry up and press play because you don't want to be late for class. Join me as I try on Stacy's Birkenstock sandals.

This week, my guest is Meghan Newkirk, author of the book “Loving Naomi.” She was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder while in college and shares her journey and discusses how she came to combat it.

How many times in your life have you been told you can’t? Today’s guest Jen Du Plessis has also been told that. After hearing this statement of “you can’t” most of her life.

A lesson that still resonates with her to this day. “We flatter those we scarcely know; we please the fleeting guests, but we deal many a thoughtless blow to those we love the best.” Today, Jen shares with me why having core values is so important in life. Jen also shares some practical ways on how you too can apply core values to your life. Join me as we walk and Jen’s Sketchers shoes.

I Am A Tar Heel

opspodcastshow@gmail.com (David Noel, Neil Matthews, Brandon Robinson) — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 08:00:00 +0000

Episode Notes

What is does it mean to be a North Carolina Tar Heel basketball player? In this week’s episode, Neil sits down with two former North Carolina Tar heel basketball players, David Noel and Brandon Robinson. Noel was a key player in the 2005 National Championship team. Robinson was a key player on the 2017 National Championship team. Neil put on the full-court press to find out why North Carolina versus Duke is the best rivalry in college basketball and possibly in sports. They also discuss the impact Coach Roy Williams has had in the lives of these two players and the Carolina culture. Learn how lessons learned at North Carolina have had lasting effects. This is a special episode for Neil, as a lifelong Tar heel fan and an episode any Tar heel fan will enjoy. Join me as we lace up our Jordan 11 shoes and learn what it feels like to play hard, play smart and play together.

•

Where did the “Tar Heels” nickname come from?

The term “tar heel” dates back to North Carolina’s early history, when the state was a leading producer of supplies for the naval industry. Workers who distilled turpentine from the sticky sap of pine trees and burned pine boughs to produce tar and pitch often went barefoot during hot summer months and undoubtedly collected tar on their heels. To call someone a “rosin heel” or “tar heel” was to imply that they worked in a lowly trade.

During the Civil War, North Carolina soldiers flipped the meaning of the term and turned an epithet into an accolade. They called themselves “tar heels” as an expression of state pride. Others adopted the term, and North Carolina became widely known as the “Tar Heel State.”

In the 1880s, when UNC teams began competing in intercollegiate sports, they needed a nickname. There does not appear to have been any debate over what to call the teams and how to express school spirit. They were then, and have always been Tar Heels.

April 28th, 2020

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 08:00:00 +0000

Episode Notes

What happened on April 28th, 2020? My guests today Mark Victor Hansen and his wife Crystal Dwyer Hansen know. It is the day their new book "Ask! The Bridge from Your Dreams to Your Destiny" became available. In the book, you will learn most people have beautiful dreams deep inside—the things they would like to have, the relationships they’d love to enjoy, and the wellness and well-being that would help them express their best, in every way. However, often those dreams lie buried inside us. Hidden by fear or unworthiness or a lack of awareness of what could be. Asking is the only language to which the Universe can deliver a solution, understanding, illumination, or plan. Join me as we try on Crystal's Boots and Mark's skinned animal shoes.

Ryan Marrs's life changed when he married his wife, Heather on July 17, 2009. She was the first person to love and forgive him for all the bad choices he had made. That forgiveness allowed him to see Jesus in Heather and as a result, Ryan became a Christian. The bad choices he made in his younger life has shaped him into the encourager he is for the young people of today. His hope is that he will be the gateway to lead all the kids he coaches to Jesus. He wants all of the youth that he coaches to be able to call on him at any point in their lifetime. He is all about building relationships with young people and letting them know that he is available to talk at any time about any subject. Join me as we try on Ryan's size 10 Air Jordan shoes.

Pilot:

Sometimes it's really helpful to walk in Other People's Shoes to
gain understanding and perspective. I believe without understanding we have no foundation.

In this Pilot episode I share why and how this podcast came to be and why I feel led to do this show. My hope is that this will give you a little glance into me and
this journey we look to take together. Some things that will be accomplished is we will explore people's stories. Hear about their adventures.

Discover something new about how someone's life may change yours. At the end of each show hopefully you will walk away with some new understanding that may help you be a better person.
