Thanks, Mark, for your greatThanks, Mark, for your great work on Spirit in Action programming. I was so honored to be interviewed by you again. You are a great radio producer.
I'm so glad you took myI'm so glad you took my advice and did the interview with Ed Trickett! He sounds every bit as honest, wise, caring, and humorous as I had imagined. Great to hear his story - as you pointed out, news of him is hard to come by. Thank you! The reason why I'm not giving it top rating is that unfortuately, the telephone line from Chicago wasn't very good. His voice is blurred sometimes. A pity, but can't be helped, I guess.
Something I didn't hear inSomething I didn't hear in the interview (maybe I just missed it) was any mention of the importance of physical health and, what I think is most important, mental health in helping people out of poverty. Perhaps the reason, up till now, is that we haven't had much luck in improving peoples mental health significantly.
Great show. I'm also a formerGreat show. I'm also a former catholic and while I learned some important ideas from it, I don't miss it at all. The worship I had this morning with a small circle of Friends outside in the sun with birds singing was better than any church service I've been to.

I hope his wife didn't mindI hope his wife didn't mind him talking about how his career affected his marriage. It really personalized the interview. Sometimes following our light leaves those who depend on us feeling a little dark. 5/25/12
This is Rick. I just wantedThis is Rick. I just wanted to let you know that the first show I listened to with Justin Leeson really touched my soul and resonated with me. I could relate alot with his unfortunate "church" experiences and I really agree and respect what he had to say. I loved especially how you guys integrated selected songs that had meaning with what you guys were talking about. That was great! Again it was a powerful show, and I will tune into to other ones for now on. It is inspirating to hear someone with an honest heart and a deep - intelligent thought provoking mind. Blessed be!, Rick from Ames, Iowa
Enjoyed the harmonies in Willows! Very nice. :)
