Ep. 87: Compassionate Prison Re-Entry with Ed Gaskin

Within five years of their prison release, 79% of returning citizens are re-arrested (according to the State Criminal Justice Policy and Planning Division). That's why we're sitting down with Ed Gaskin, Executive Director of Greater Grove Hall Main Streets, to discuss a research project Ed is involved in that helps us understand how to support returning citizens in giving them a clean start after fulfilling their punishment. This support helps prevent their needs from compounding and pushing them to return to a life of crime.

Ep. 89: The Post-Pandemic Church with Charles Galda

Have you felt God is exposing things in the Church He wants to change? We have. We've been in conversations with New England leaders who have gotten the same sense through all the pain and disruption of the last two years.
So we surveyed and focus grouped more than 100 diverse leaders across New England to identify what God is exposing, and what the implications are for us. We landed on ten key “statements” that relate to the core mission of the Church. As the prophets of old called God’s people back to faithfulness, we believe God is calling His people to be more faithful in making disciples, doing justice, fostering unity, and sharing Jesus. Join us as we unpack this calling with Vision New England president, Charles Galda!
